I really admire your ability to keep this up . <| sep |> This is a myth . <| sep |> Surely that money could ' ve went to other green projects ? Maybe even just repurpose them to natural gas ? <| sep |> Exactly my thoughts on placing blame elsewhere and the futility of it . But when you ' re blaming feminism for ruining the lives of young men , that ' s shifting the blame to something you can ' t control . Also , you sayOh shit , turns out the homework is actually 3040 % of the class grade . Doesn ' t matter if I could ace the quizes and get consistently high marks on the standartized tests , I was a bad student . This was exactly my problem in grade school . I distinctly remember that I was always kept in from recess to redo literature assignments because I didn ' t follow the instruction to a ' t ' or there was a couple spelling errors . Let ' s just ignore the fact that every line was mechanically correct this being a grammar class , not spelling , and I was way ahead of everyone else , acing tests and shit . I wasn ' t following directions so I was a problem student . This is not taking responsibility for your unwillingness to do homework and like you said , not following directions . But with that being said you justify the behavior by saying it was mechanically correct and you were far ahead of all the other students . It just sounds like your blaming the system rather than your inability to understand what it took to get the grades you thought you deserved due to your progress of the subject . That ' s just one small example , and I think I made a few assumptions on my part but in that context , the things you said do sound like excuses , even if you ' re able to acknowledge why it happened .
