What do you assign to Mordor? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Raving fans that are only excited for "the hot elf" Legolas and only remember him. All kinds of math....its frustrating and detesting. Anyone who looks at the books and rejects them without a second thought. All the "popular cool people" who are just jerks to everyone else.

I've said this many times in various threads, and I'll say it again: may PJ rot in the deepest and darkest pit of Mordor until the end of his days!!! *and let us say: Amen*

"Anyone who looks at the books and rejects them without a second thought" - and may they join PJ.
Anyone who rejects the books without even looking at them - may they also rot there! For twice as long!

PS: if PJ somehow escapes this fate, may he be lynched by his own made-up Faramir!

Forgive me if I am wrong, but I would guess from this comment you are still at school? This may be of little comfort if you have a long time ago until you escape compulsory education but the sort of people who are regarded as "cool" as teenagers - well surveys have shown that they will never have it so good again because the kind of snotty stuck up behaviour they display doesn't tend to make you popular in the grown up world and workplace.

So the non cool kids often get the last laugh, better education, quite possibly more interesting jobs, friends who actually like them for themselves not because they are flavour of the month.... the cool kids literally peak too soon. Hang on in there...

Yeah! Mithalwen is so right! Even though I just started high-school and you could say that my education just started

, all the bighead stuck-up cool guys from middle school are already half failing (well, they use the optiistic term: just passing

). After 8 years of receiving "jerk behaviour" from them it feels so good to beat them by like 15% in almost every subject...! Don't worry, Arendil15, when time comes it'll be the other way 'round with them

Arendil15,
I've been relatively sheltered from the kids who think that they're the coolest things since sliced bread, due to the nature of my school and its being populated by nerds. But I can say that my experiences at other schools really suck. High school is a horrible time, and though there is nothing I can say to make it more enjoyable to anybody, Mith is right. People who are 'cool' really aren't, and they never will be. One must stick with their friends and fellow nerds just to get through this horrible time. The upside is that there are classes and such that you can take at other schools, at universities, and AP classes that are for students who want to do well and learn. There is always the option of a nice Liberal open optional education (Shameless school-plug).
