    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    Chuck Norrilogy is easily the best class to take, you will learn about the "Chuck", his fighting styles, Walker Texas Ranger, and how his life and lessons he taught has improved your life. Through Chuck Norrilogy you may even gain entrance into Nirvana.

    I'm finding Physics much easier than Chem (both Honors HS). More math in Physics, and less blooding memorizing things. Stupid elements.

    What is all this stuff about Chuck Norris and why did it explode today? I heard it on Opie and Anthony, it's on my university's sports forum, on RTW forums now, etc.

    Strike, whatever you take, it should be the AP class. There's nothing quite so nice as strolling into College with a half-year's worth of credits already under your belt. Makes you feel like, well, Chuck Norris.

    Surely it should be "couldn't care less"? You crazy Americans!

    If you have the brains for it, definitely take the AP courses. They will generally be taught by better teachers, and the students are a little more serious and willing to learn, rather than goof off. Scoring well on the AP tests can give you college credit in those classes, which have several benefits:

    1. "Free" credits, you can graduate earlier.
    2. The classes you get credit for are usually weed out courses, so you get to avoid those.
    3. Some colleges order course registration based on credit hours, so having free credits allows you to sign up for the good profs before the rest of your class.

    Yeah, its gotten really big in my school too, and in my AP US History class, some kid keeps drawing pictures and writes sayings about Chuck Norris on the board...

    Anyway, I hated science, so I simply took easy science credits after Biology Freshman year, and Chemistry Sophomore year. Currently, I'm taking Forensic Science (watch CSI and do easy labs all the time) and Principles of Engineering for my science credits. Then again, it depends on what your school offers...

    High School physics and its AP counterpart all involve single-variable algebraic equations. It is all about selecting the right equation and plugging the known data in from the story problems you receive. I found this kind of work pretty easy and the stuff was fun to learn. If you have a TI-86 or more powerful calculator, you can use the equation solver to make the class even easier.

    I did not enjoy Chemistry. There are too many rules, and they don't seem to hold true throughout the entirety of the subject. Nomenclature, for me, seemed nearly impossible to study for using the naming rules. It seemed like I would have to memorize the names and symbols of every compound in the universe in order to truly know the subject matter.


    The Chuck Norris fad began with Conan O'Brien's "Walker, Texas Ranger Lever", a stunt he pulled on his show where he would pull a lever and a hilarious clip out of context from the aforementioned show would play. Videos of this can be downloaded easily. Next, the Chuck Norris Facts list appeared on the internet, and that circulated through internet message boards.

    Everyone always makes their own choices, on everything, whether wanting to or not, you do. Ask a million people and even if they give the same response, it would still be your choice is you followed it. Don't deceive yourself to your responsibility.
    GARCIN: I "dreamt," you say. It was no dream. When I chose the hardest path, I made my choice deliberately. A man is what he wills himself to be.
    INEZ: Prove it. Prove it was no dream. It's what one does, and nothing else, that shows the stuff one's made of.
    GARCIN: I died too soon. I wasn't allowed time to - to do my deeds.
    INEZ: One always dies too soon - or too late. And yet one's whole life is complete at that moment, with a line drawn neatly under it, ready for the summing up. You are - your life, and nothing else.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_meme - In case you should want
    a list of other 'phenomenons' too. [Chuck Norris is the second People
    entry. I like how in his response to the 'facts' phenomenon, he doesn't
    waste the opportunity to blatantly advertise his literary efforts.]

    I'd try to take Chuck Norris. Sure, it's tough, but once you get the hang of ducking under the roundhouse kick, it's not so bad.

    Do both Chem and Physics.

    What are you trying to get into after school?
