Odeon - your main point is that I should dig up examples.
I'm lazy. Not a great defense, so I thought a bit. So long
as I don't bother, she will either make such attacks, proving
my point (as I shall flag them, which I did recently), or her
behavior will change to suit me. She's stopped adding  :pwned:
to every absolutely lame attack on me (I don't mind one bit,
when it's true), by my mere mentioning of that. Each bit of
her style that I attack seems to effect her enough to serve
my purpose. That's sufficient. As I said, this was never directed
at you. I know that you can't learn.

well, there you are, then - it's the biology which is a fucker.  even i struggled to work out the answer to a few of the questions, and i've gt two fucking degrees in the subject (albeit more specialised, so i suppose i'm allowed to have forgotten the physiol).
Biology was a minor problem when I took it because I had slept though 2 years of lessons. I take it biology has moved on quite a bit since you took your exams in it, maybe that is what is making it appear difficult.

everything has moved on since i took exams in science, of course they have, dur.  ::)  i have read things since, though, and not just google or wiki.
You havent read everything. Naturally you will have missed some of the stuff that shows on something as broad as a GCSE.

however, my point was that it's sometimes a matter of rhetoric - working out what the question is asking, or the answer is supposed to be, rather than lack of knowledge - and, as we all know, that's an AS thing.  just been talking to one of my team leaders, and that's across the board rather than me, btw.
Exactly, the actual science content has been dumbed down and replaced with guess what nonsense is on the examiners mark scheme. Hence "ipod" being on a physics mark scheme.
Quote
part of why i say that exams haven't been dumbed down is that science has moved on since "my day", and does so continuously, and so the level of sophistication of what's required in the way of knowledge/concepts/level of response et al is higher.
Look at maths then. What was formally O-level is now the bulk part of the core AS modules. Lets just say I learnt maths and further maths from an old single maths textbook, which is a real demonstration of the dumbing down. I know Durham has had to run a big stack of remedial classes for both maths and physics to deal with the problem. Classes that were not there 5-10 years ago. Then there is the fact that they allow graphic calculators in that can virtually sit the exam for you.
Quote
having said all of which, this current attempt to use any excuse/post/subject as a means of trying to score a point against me has failed again, not least because you shot yourself in the foot with yet another contradiction:

they're not dumbed down, i can assure you.  one of them is a complete bastard.
I probably could own it, unless it was Biology

can't you even remember what you've written yourself, and so very recently?  ::)
If I sat it right now then that would be very true. However if I went back over the old stuff for a day or two I could manage it comfortably.

One of my points. I take it that you won't do your homework, then? Perhaps that is wise; no point in pwning yourself. As for pointing out attacks when you spot them, no, that is not sufficient.

Another one of my points was that you can only see things flowing in one direction, and a very narrow view it is. Just how narrow was already pointed out by Callaway re her private life. But when you go after her, you don't even stop to think about how what you do is precisely the thing you accuse her of.

But you just don't, or won't, see it. It is you who cannot learn.

It is, for my purposes.
I don't need your approval.
Much as you want me to.

Nah. I was already aware of her proclivity then,
and put that in my dossier.  :laugh: Seriously, sure,
we have biases. But, I've not fought at all, in the
manner that she does.

Since it seems so important to you,
do your homework, and show me where I
have done to her any of what I'm accusing
her of. I suspect it's merely a matter of differing
morality. Likely there are things which I just don't
see, behind her actions, but I certainly feel that I
have a decent grip on them - and she's not stood
forth to correct my impressions. Whenever someone
accuses me of acting falsely, I DO defend.

If she sees no need to appear as honorable as she
thinks she is, that is something that I truly don't
understand - thus, there are likely misjudgments.
But, from my standpoint, whenever she has a defense,
she seems to use it. So, I suspect that some of my
accusations are actually taking root, where they count,
in her. She's not one to back down from a fight.

You go after Callaway in most of your posts here, in my ask away, yet you say that she is the one attacking. Where? When? It's certainly not here. You refuse to point out the *alarming* frequency of posts where she so nastily uses the fact that you are a rapist.

As far as I'm concerned, you have no credibility.

er, "bumchum" generally refers to a gay male relationship.  get your facts right, dozy.

as for virtual, there's nothing virtuous going on between odeon and me, thanks.   :evillaugh:

You do realise that he's close to 30,000 posts, don't you?
