Did you post as many worthless topics when you were in school?

It seems like every quarter/semester, we are inundated with college (and some high school) kiddies posting loads of messages regarding every aspect of schooling. I don't have a problem with this granted they are INTERESTING! But this is seldom the case. Most posts are about a hard test, grading (which is rarely controversial), or how many finals they have left.

Kids, please turn to your elders for role models. Notice when we post job threads, they don't have the following topics:

"Anyone drive to work today and plan on driving home after your work is done?"
"Who has coworkers?"
"Does anyone have a boss?"

Who the hell cares!?!? Please, stop posting these BS posts. If some kid in your class assaulted the professor during a final, post it. Otherise, go study for your finals. Yes, we know, you have [insert number here] more.

I'm sure you'd rather hear my unemployed behind rant & rave about the price of pomegranites this season instead. :)

Hey, the YAGTs from the younger crowd are the reason I forgive the rest of their posts...

a few months after i started university, i connected to the internet on my roommate's computer. i was the first guy on my floor with the internets and i called a bunch of Toronto BBSs under the handle "SmashedPumpkin". not sure if forums were so big back then, but i was neffing all the same.

I'm still in school and I post stuff like "Sitting in class right now and I'm bored, how do you mess with the macs in our school?"
