Cool Science

How does one hate science?

[Shadow]

I really hate science, but that's [wash my mouth out!!!] awesome.

Not understand. Please to be clarifying.

Sorry, I cussed and the auto replace made my statement incoherent. It is quite funny though, I like that.

I meant that I hate learning and participating in science, it obviously plays a vital role in the development of civilization.

So what you meant to say is that you hate science class. Which makes sense, for many students, science and math are their least favorite subjects, because they are hard.

Also, Shadow, that is very cool.

wat, how are they hard? You just like.. read the information and vomit it back out on demand, it's all just right or wrong.

Yea, I suppose so, but I'm generally not interested in other means of scientific education. I suppose it was pretty dumb to simply say that I hate science. Kind of silly, but I really mean that I hate to pretend that I have an interest in it during situations that demand my scientific attention. So yea, I hate science class. That however, is pretty cool.

Eh, not everyone finds it easy or fun to memorise endless streams of information. I guess it depends on the way it's taught. I'm referring to science here - maths is a totally alien world to me :P

I'm a pretty big history nerd. Just don't tell my girl friend, she only dates me because I'm cool.

Science class isn't science by any stretch of the imagination. Science class is basically a scientific history class which involves learning techniques, but you aren't actually doing science. I didn't much care for science class either, but it's not the same thing.

Yea, I spoke prematurely, that was rather rude.

Not everyone finds that easy Death. Also, not all of science class is rote memorization and recall.

OK, fair enough I guess.

Really? All mine were remembering the answers to questions and remembering the steps to go through in order to like, do the activity things. Would make a lot of sense if the school I was in then just sucked though. It was so boring I would just do Mortal Kombat (random answers that could correlate to MK moves) on tests so as far as the state is concerned I'm on a 4th grade level in science LOL.

btw how are babies made?

It is a sad reality that the teaching system we have now allows success by memorizing formulas instead of understanding the general principle behind it. This gives higher test scores, but results in people who are both basically illiterate in whatever subject you choose to argue about, and also people who dislike it because they think it is tedious. Once you get past the memorization to an understanding of the principles behind the method, it all seems much more worthwhile.

[Death]

Understanding the principle behind something (in sciences at least) to me is just memorizing the why of it, lol. EVERYTHING IS MEMORIZATION.
