ahh fair

at least you got some guidance the other day i had to write an essay with no suggested length and we just had to guess, one guy wrote like 5000 words i wrote bout 1500 and only got 5% less than him lol

[ehbes]

I never understood page/word requirements. I tend to write my best papers when I'm told to write a complete essay. If you flesh everything out you get a decent lengthed paper anyways

[mIrReN]

I should really learn to express things better lol

it's not strictly a minimum but it's some kind of bullshit "recommended minimum length"

Damn, whats it on?

[Harkat]

It's the IB's "Extended Essay" that everyone has to do. You have to write about something within a subject you take, but you choose freely from there.

I'm writing about wether Catalonia, which is a region of spain, during the Spanish civil war was a true anarchist society or not, which Anarchists like to consider it. Interesting but also a lot of fuckin work.

[m8son666]

that sounds horrible

i'm glad i don't have to include my own opinions in essays anymore haha

Minimum amounts I don't mind too much. Maximum amounts that are really strict can be a real pain though if they aren't that higher than the minimum or if for some reason they expect a lot out of you in a very small amount of writing

[ehbes]

isnt catalonia the part that wants to leave spain?

[hubb]

yeah - leave is a funny choice of words though

they should schlepp it over past the iberian peninsula and get some more sun

[DiegoSapiens]

Cataluña never was an anarchist state, there were just a strong anarchosindicalist movement in barcelona that expande a little bit to the rural parts but the state was never distroyed.
The only true anarchic state in spain history was the "canton" of cartagena.

And fuck cataluña "leaving". People from andalucia and extremadura have worked as slaves there during the last two centuries while all the head charges spended spains money in factories for cataluña, and now they want to leave because they want to be more important that Madrid. Only political and economic affairs.

Every living thing on earth dies alone.

unless we're Siamese twins
or agree to die together.

not that I don't know what you're saying
but in the knowledge that we're all one
death is neither a lone pursuit nor tragically isolated
I've killed ants and plants
where I felt profoundly present
and watched loved ones die,
alone in a very shallow sense.

It's a Donnie Darko quote.

Heard plenty of stories from medics of people dialling 999 for stupid things...one time some Indian woman called an ambulance because she'd run out of tampons

[Electric_Head]

Wasn't there a story posted here of a chinese couple that got the ambulance to take them home but in fact just got the ambulance to drop them at the bank to cash a cheque?

Yeah, you get a lot of that too. Heard another one of some bloke complaining of chest pains, ambulance took him to hospital and when they arrived he jumped out, yelled "thanks for the lift!" and ran off.

There is a soundcloud account, I think I saw it on here, for some UK police department, it has a recording of a women calling in because she forgot the password to get onto her computer

there should be a 10 pound/minute wasted fine IMO
