Lag, do forgive the last post.

Hmm, mind enlightening us on how to get to this showdown?

It's been an age. Or several. Anyways, Reborn's Dodrio has been unable to log on, for some reason! The Reborn server does not appear on the list of active servers Anyone have any suggestions? Have already updated our PO, etc.

Having been both a teacher and a student - the former up to a pre-varsity level and the latter to an undergraduate level - I would say the problem lies with education system flaws that compound the issues found with both students and teachers, which I have listed below: Students - Laziness - Poor discipline - Poor work ethic - Unrealistic expectations - Lack of drive for success - Apathy towards themselves as well as others - Lack of respect towards teachers - Lack of curiosity - Entitlement mentality Teachers - Laziness - Poor discipline - Poor work ethic - Unrealistic expectations - Apathy towards students' problems - Lack of respect for students - Lack of creativity and flexibility - Lack of knowledge on their subject(s) - Lack of passion for their subject(s) These issues are just listed off the top of my head, and the list is not exhaustive by any means. Notice, however, that I have listed a few things under both teachers as well as students. The COMPONENTS of an education system - e.g. standardised testing - in themselves may be beneficial to students as well as teachers. However, if the system as a whole is flawed due to antagonism/inhibition between its components as opposed to synergism, then of course the results would be less than optimal. For example, in my homeland of Malaysia, people complained that the standardised exams were becoming too easy, which was actually due to political interference with public education (politicians reduced the syllabus scope to raise passing statistics, etc.). To remedy this, the government - which was responsible for the problem to begin with - abolished them and replaced them with school-based assessment. The curriculum remained the same. Our curriculum is weak to begin with, and while standardised testing as well as schoool-based assessments are both equally viable for a fair testing of a student's strengths/weaknesses, this one flawed component screwed the whole system over. OF COURSE you'd find problematic students and teachers wherever you look, so allowing flawed components to remain unchecked is the main problem, in my humble opinion. That being said, it is naturally impossible to devise a perfect system. Thus, it is my sincere - some would say harsh - belief that the system which produces the best results should be selected. And by 'best results', I mean the system should produce the most thinking individuals who would be beneficial to society as well as humanity. If along the way there are some failures, well, statistically speaking, there is always a wastage factor. Be it bad teachers, students, or just those anomalies in the system, it is impossible to have zero casualties, so to speak, so the aim in devising an education system should be to minimise wastage rather than please everyone. The optimal solution hardly needs to be perfect, and mathematical logic is, for the most part, infallible.

I like to use Air Balloon magnezone with Sunny Day to back the HP Fire, in case of opposing rain with the ferrothorns.

Just for the record, I have a KH/FF inspired one on my back The main reply I wanted to make was about the girl/boyfriend thing: are people that desperate for an other half these days?

Language studies, perhaps? Or do anthropology with a major in Asian/Japanese stuff.

Being a concertmaster doesn't give you the right to dismiss instruments which aren't part of the standard orchestral repertoire. Every instrument has a unique sound and place in the world of music. And while the basics of some instruments may be easier to pick up than others, I'm willing to bet money that even the humble recorder is as difficult to master as the horn.

And so the ruling coalition has just rigged their way through the elections, to win 5 more years of control over our homeland Malaysia. Details are available using these keywords and any search engine: - Bentong, blackout, ballot, boxes, magic - Recount, ballot, boxes We're to drained to write more now. Democracy died today in Malaysia.

Umm, since when was terrakion un-counterable? Haha. That aside, It looks like a decent team, playing by safe, tried and tested combinations.

I remember this one. Annoyingly well, to boot, lol Hmm, given that my ghost team at the time was basically kingdra fodder, can't say much about it, but it's solid, given the components and movesets.

As they said, the target audience for your post would probably miss the whole point - oh look, Evasion? - despite the thought you put into it. And there's where you'd probably see the difference between those who merely play the game, and those who make the game more than just that Good post.

Armaldo's a tad slow for a Swift Swimmer - the others such as ludicolo or even seismitoad tend to outspeed it. If you really want to try a different Swimmer, perhaps beartic might be an option.
