"One Of The Biggest Failings Of Modern Education Is Managing To Convince A Whole Generation That Wikipedia Is An Unreliable Source"
"Wikipedia is a practically unlimited source of free knowledge which is constantly being monitored by an army of nerds.
The fact that we do not have to pay for access is a miracle.
(Near enough) every article has a full and reliable list of references at the bottom.
I understand that students should be encouraged use the references at the bottom for true research but this is not taught. Students are simply told ‘Stay away from Wikipedia, anyone can change it, it’s completely unreliable’."
People should be encouraged to bash Jada more. Well done. LOL
Also, I'm a US citizen and I agree with #15 and #35. F@*$! American exceptionalism. Our opinion of "ourselves" is laughable most times. We need to take it down a notch or two.
#36 yep, im always like what the hell im gonna get...?
#8 and deny the kid the trophy he is ENTITLED to??
#13 in general, it is not up to each of us to punish people for what they do wrong. Any civilized country has courts and prison systems for that. If you don't want to support someone in their work for how they behave outside work that is up to you, but don't judge people that think otherwise. Like the rising cancel culture. What kind of f@#knuggets thinks it's OK to have someone fired for being themselves outside work? Gina Carano is a good example. Should that apply to everyone? If you neglect your children, does that mean you should be fired from working as a librarian? I've seen stories about the mob trying to get holywood stars fired because "they are @$$hoels in real life and won't let fans take pictures when seen in restaurants" or whatever. W. T. F!!??
#20 quit whining. Not that many generations ago most people had to work all day every day to put food on the table. And you're free to work less, but don't expect to live in a downtown apartment sipping latte at the local cafe all day.
#24 kind of overlaps #13. Yes, he acts like a teenager with no impulse control some times, but look at what he has actually accomplished. EVs would not have been where it is today if it wasn't for Elon and Tesla. I 100% guarantee it. And Spaxe-X too. We're all gonna reap the benefits of that later on.
#15 When I have been in foreign countries, the USA is never in the news. I think Americans think everyone else in the world cares about them, but they don’t.
Agree with most, except #10, #15. And #32 only because I don’t care about their personal lives and haven’t seen anyone laughing at Will Smith. What would they even be laughing at?
Oh, and whoever doesn’t want to know anything about other countries can definitely control the media they watch and stay in their little cushy bubble, so that’s idiotic.
Don't teach that Wikipedia is an unreliable source. Just teach how to use Wikipedia properly and all will be good
