We last left off where Seth decided to go to Valor on his black dragon Erath. And when he got there...And if anyone forgot the story, Kyan found his long lost friend Seth on Valor, and his black dragon Erath. Kyan is a mamkute that can still use swords as well as dragon stone attack.
Welcome to BEHG. We hope you enjoy your trip through our cesspool of hatred and lies.

Horrible statistical basis:

"Public schools are ranked according to a ratio devised by Jay Mathews: the number of Advanced Placement or International Baccalaureate tests taken by all students at a school in 2004 divided by the number of graduating seniors."

What the fuck does that have to do with the school's quality? I'd find a subjective list more believable. Using AP test scores would be far more relevant - especially given that some schools don't offer IB classes whatsoever. Each school also has different standards for AP and IB classes (somebody has to get those 1s and 2s), so it really shouldn't matter to anyone what that list says.

I don't think anyone can comprehend how much it pisses me off that the people who made that list were complete dumbasses.
NO SCHOOL, EVER from the South or Texas will ever be on the top 4 billion schools in the world, if the list is done right I refuse to believe that anything goes on in Alabama besides incest and shitty accents, especially not from MSNBC. Cause that's just a blatant lie.

this ladies and gentleman (and were-trannies) is the perfect example of predjuice instilled by the religious schools


UNC, Texas A&M, 'Bama are all top quality schools. But alas some people refuse to see it through sterotypes.

Nono, that is my own prejudice. My shit religious school taught that the South was great.

Me? I have no reason to think anything decent of those states. Horrid accents, lots of farming, lots of prejudice(lol, irony, I know), thriving KKK groups...
Oh yeah, that's just the surface. If I got statistics, I could prove that (except maybe florida)all the southern states suck pretty badly.

... I'd be more inclined to believe your point of view if you did have stats or proof of what you claim.

UNC Does things like this, Award winning staff, Has a rich history and is the oldest state university in the country


Texas A&M Facts about this school are very far from you perception, The Students are very focused whether they are in the class room or in sports, As well as they have a wide variety of speicalized majors and honors courses


you want me to keep going?

http://www.statemaster.com/graph/edu_hig_s...gher-percentage

Personal Income(per capita): Texas #28, North Carolina #38
http://www.statemaster.com/graph/eco_per_i...come-per-capita

Oral health > Loss of natural teeth: North Carolina 28.3%, Texas 16.8%

Casual Drinkers: North Carolina 41.9%, Texas 51.7%
Heavy Drinkers: North Carolina 3%, Texas 5.2%

This doesn't even start what I could find, but I rather do something useful. All facts without specific pages were checked with Statemaster.com

you said those other specific examples came from statemaster? no url though?

and as for the first example with Texas and North Carolina being #47 and #51 with the diploma... thats not saying much considering that 80% of them have the diploma its called weighted scales which is all that Statemaster.com does. Weighted scales for future refrence skew results.

As for the income/capita the economy sucks. Get over it. Almost everyone is feelin the strain.

You are just trying to get out of disproving statistical fact.


So I win, this is over. Southern states DO suck, and there are statistics proving it.

We can get back to telling Itachi to switch schools now.

... no Im saying that stats can lie take a statistics class in math sometime, one of the first things they tell you is that stats can be manipulated to show what the persons behind the information want people to see.

And the stats that youve shown are biased. Thats all.

THANK YOU FEN!

However, I am still undecided. If only would tip the scale in their favor than would make me switch. As in, someone giving me a very, very good reason to switch or someone giving me a very, very good reason to stay.

I would, except I don't think my brain is physically capable of understanding how they can be so prejudice. Oh, right, that and I don't intend on ever living in whichever state they live in, or even in this country when I am older. Maybe California, that place is nice..

Fen has clearly knows nothing about the Peach State. If we suck so much, why are we one of the fastest growing states in population, but have a normal birth rate? Those people have to be coming from somewhere.
The opinions expressed in the above post are totally and completely correct. If you disagree with them, you are wrong, there's just no other way to put it.

I've seen knights in armor panic at the first hint of battle. And I've seen the lowliest, unarmed squire pull a spear from his own body, to defend a dying horse. Nobility is not a birthright. It's defined by one's actions.
