Oh shut up, no I wont.

>>3579407
just sayin brah

>>3579372
you obviously have troll-threads even on online-message-boards of your university which is cool. try to answer sth like tl;dr lol fag

>>3579372
Sounds like the guy is confused. The very question posed was "what is good?", but then his response is to ask for a definition! If one was given then he could simply parrot the definition as an answer the question. Some foolish fool indeed.

>>3579419
please do this op. Just drop the class and take something a little more worthy of your elective.

>>3579419
>>3579442

I dont want to drop it. Im taking is because its easy, and it will probably be a lot more fun than any other crappy filler classes.

However, realizing that this is how the class works. I absolutely will take every possible opportunity to troll. I regularly turn in bullshit assignments for fun.

Picture related. It was my final exam speech for public speaking class (another mandatory bullshit class)

>>3579447
>final exam speech for public speaking class
>public speaking class

>>3579456

Yep.

OP, you answer this question by running through a seris of ideas. You say, "suppose good is", and you explore its implications. You then repeat this with a new supposition. Make sure to explore the common man's notions, as well as experts' notions from various fields, and damn well do your research. The point of the question is for you to explore it.

What the fuck is this, I don't even....

>Faggots that use long words unnecessarily and waffle on instead of just getting to the point.
Yup. You got yourself some quality classmates, OP

OP Here

More horrible answers. Ive gotten credit for all of them

>>3579508
You didn't actually submit this... right?
I hope your tutor has a sense of humour

>>3579516
It all makes sense now.

>>3579523

I actually did submit all of these.

I thought OP was seriously asking for help.

9/10

You got a serious answer out of me.

The moon doesn't orbit earth.
It's the other way around. duh.
That shit was debunked hundreds of years ago

I think these are kind of dumb. I remember on the clicker questions for this class the power point would only have 4 answers on. So all the hundreds of students would only press A through D on their key pads. And when that happens The graph that gets generated on the projector only contains 4 bars to show the distribution of the answers.

I had a lot fun answering "I" forcing the graphing program to generate bars for letters A through I, with E, F, G, and H, showing 0% and I showing 1%

The look on the professors face every day made it worth it.

>>3579533
This.
Terracentric fags are worse than creationists idiots

OP here

I had one assignment where I was supposed to made a commercial. I forgot what the commercial was supposed to be about. But I didnt want to, so I took this image and put it into Windows Movie Maker. Then I just recorded some shitty sounds from this distorted junky plastic keyboard. I turned it in.

100%

Then I had an english assignment where I just wrote about how much I like "televisions"

I dont know why I am dumping ever joke assignment Ive ever done. I hope it amuses you guys as much as its amused me fucking around in my shittier classes.

>>3579562
There is something really wrong with your school if they let you get away with this kind of shit.
(not to mention give such incredibly easy assignments).

>>3579562
Can you upload somewhere the original advert?

>>3579568

I think Im giving a biased perspective of my school. I actually really like my school. But Im sure like all universitys they have bullshit requirements.

This Ethics class is because I have to take an upper division elective.
The public speaking class was because I had to take a communications course.
The astronomy class was actually really great. But the professor was a pussy and the homework was bullshit.
The commercial was for some 1 credit, 1 hour a week class for freshman that was like a "welcome to school" class.

Besides that I think my courses have been real, and challenging.

I go to ASU by the way. I met Lawrence Krauss once because he works at ASU. He was just walking down the hall. Also Ive seen Richard Dawkins, Craig Venter, Peter Singer, Steven Pinker all give talks at my university, among a lot of other visitors.

>>3579578

Yeah sure if I can find it.

Also pic related. For astronomy we were given an extra credit opportunity. Where we could find some astronomy pictures and then write about them and we would get extra credit. This was one of those pictures/paragraphs among 6. I got the extra credit.

>>3579578

Like I said, some people did real assignments. I didnt, and I got 100%

>>3579543

> Everyone Ive ever met has been made out of meat, and its beginning to seem like more than just a coincidence.

This is the best sentence ive ever read. Thank you.

>>3579593
What the...

>>3579594

Aw thanks...

>>3579372
gee, what podunk kind of institution do you go to, OP?

>>3579593
What the fuck?

Oh yeah okay.

One time a friend and I snuck into a lecture hall and attached this note onto the projector so it would display this stupid image next time it starts up, presumably for a class.

Then, going a bit further into the past. For a high school english paper I had to write about "a time I had to make a tough decision" so I made up a bullshit story about being born to a pauper family and being offered to become adopted by a wealthy industrialist, and how I had to choose between family and wealth. I remember turning it in and seeing the english teachers face. Nonetheless 100%

>>3579593
What was the commercial supposed to be about?

>>3579631

I think it was supposed to be for myself... If I remember. Like, a resume, but visually. Like why Im so good, and why I should be hired. Thats why it said "WILL YOU PLEASE HIRE ME"

>>3579633

You're passing either because:

a) Whoever is grading you is laughing his ass off at all your submissions and doesn't want to fail you, making the submissions stop.

b) They are afraid you are clinically insane and will murder them if they don't pass you.

OP, your "trolling" is akin of that of a toddler.

Now as an academic troll you must look up and be versed in logical fallacies and debate techniques, then knowingly use them while incorrectly accusing others of using these fallacies.

Basically start out with a common misconception, and then twist the reasoning so that you can still explain it rationally

This thread has put my in bullshit-assignments-I-turned-in nostalgia. So Im rereading some of my english assignments Ive had to turn in. Here are my favorite lines

"Men were not created equal, but they were created equate enough. Bat man is far from equal because he can obliterate anyone he wants"

"This article was about the Galapagos islands. The Galapagos islands sure sound like a place."

>>3579638

I never really considered what I do trolling. But I will certainly practice and study hard in the art of trolling for this up-coming class.

>>3579638

So he just needs to study the debate techniques of Kent Hovind and Ken Ham?

I found something I was looking for. I once turned in an english paper that said

"...An analogy of how this works, is to imagine a war in your brain. Your brain is full of reasonable tough thoughts. Your thoughts, and you reasoning ability are like 100 marines, who can handle any kind of problem thrown at them. Billy Mays sends an army of 9 billion preschoolers at once into your brain..."

The teacher later came up to me after class to tell me she had never read such an analogy.

>>3579657

What the fuck is the context for this?

What was that an analogy for?

>>3579660

It was an analogy for the way infomercials (specifically Billy Mays) flood viewers with too many thoughts. And thus convince them to buy a product because they cant fully rationalize everything going on in the infomercial.

>>3579661

That... Actually makes a lot of sense.

Bravo sir.

That is a bit too broad of a question, good in what context? Does the question mean good as in beneficial, good as in pleasant, or good as in morally correct? A case could be made for the last one given the course but never the less it's a poorly formed question.

>>3579664

If it's an ethics class it's probably implied that it means moral.

>>3579649
another great source of insipiration is Italian politics if you know the language. basically scream your arguement over and over like the sound of an enraged babboon on a broken record

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjtAEwMq7YM

example. This is a parody collection from public debates and interviews on TV. To non-italian speakers: the silver haired man in the beginning keeps repeating "shutup", the timer is counting how many times. Later or the blonde woman is repeating "shame on you!" and the counter is counting it. the yellow sentences that appear on screen is what the person is saying/repeating and mostly its just screaming "pleast let me talk/explain" through the middle of the others incessant fussing.

It all starts out with somebody talking, the other person takes the word but the 1st wasnt done and just drones on, and for the fear that the public wont hear their arguement, 2nd guy keeps talking louder and louder and it devolves into retardedness.

Obviously these are all unimportant side politicians or acquantiances of politicians who are doing this puppetry on purpose to get popular on tv. The political spectrum is left/right only. no such thing in puclic opinion as lib/authoritarian. The center right (in power) is accusing the left of being commies, to which the reply is that the right has no clue how to run a country and is opressing the people, the reply to that is "then why did we get elected?" (bought votes and promises of low taxes-- as a result local government has 0 money)

but now the center right is fucked because they raised taxes to decrease public debt as commanded by europe.

lol - ASU is a good school, but there are real goons there too.

>>3579681

Oh man, I love watching videos of Italians debating (I am italian).

Berlusconi (Italy's prime minister) is fucking amazing. Best troll in the universe.

Some examples of the things he's said:

>What are the prospects for women getting out of University, trying to find a job
>Just marry a rich guy, like me!

>Berlusconi, what do you say about the fact that Italy's economy is getting worse and it's harder to get a job
>Emigrating is always a possibility, you know

I love him.
