[3/5] Do you watch the news on television? If so, what stations do you usually watch? Do you prefer local, national, or world news programs? If not, why not? Is there some reason that you avoid news programs? Do you have some other way of learning the events of the day?

It's definitely been at least a year since I last watched a news program (aside from checking for school cancellations and picking up a few words while walking through a room). I've grown tired of them, frankly. They all seem so biased; many of them swing way toward the left (CNN, CBS, NBC, etc.) while the "impartial" Fox News leans just as far right. Heck, I watch The Daily Show more often than any news network, merely because I can take their laughable arguments as a comedy routine rather than fact.

These days, I get most of my news from the internet. At least that way, I have a chance of picking up something whose biases are hidden enough that I can delude myself into thinking the article is impartial. With today's television news, such self-delusion is totally impossible.


May I have 2 MGs?

Brian: Green MGcoin, Light Gem.

I don't watch them because they tend to show only bad news and be very graphic about it. I sometimes read the newspaper, or overhear something on the radio, but more often than not I learn about the current news by talking to people and listening to others talk.

MG, please.

Jeff wins a Meditate TM. Congrats, Jeff!

[Lady Vulpix]

What shall I do with all these Stat Modification Dice? I'm giving this one away. Does anyone want it?

[The Blue Avenger]

Sure, I'll take it.

[3/6] Are you still in schooling? If so, what do you think about it? Is it enjoyable or not? Do you think it is useful? What would you change about it if you could? If not, do you remember it as being enjoyable? Do you think it has been useful for you? What do you wish would have been different about your educational experience?

Yeah, I'm in college now. Most of it is probably useful, although some of it... um, isn't. And I'm not talking about the joke with a history degree being totally useless. I have a problem with being required to take courses that have nothing to do with my degree plan. Sure, when you're in elementary through high school, you need a grounding in a wide variety of areas. That also helps you identify your interests. But in my understanding, college is for taking those interests and applying them to fields of study rather than having further exploration. A prospective engineer having to take a bunch of art courses is ridiculous, and vice-versa.

That, incidentally, would be what I would change about college if I was given the opportunity. Let's not get into primary education, because I could write a book on that.


May I have 2 MGs?

[Lady Vulpix]

Jeff: the die is yours.

Brian: 2 Stamps/CCPs, Red MGcoin. Interesting, I would have loved to have the chance of taking an art course at university, but here everything is specialized at that stage.

Not since I graduated from university. Each of the stages had good and bad parts, but overall I'm satisfied with it, and it has definitely been useful in more than one way. There were some teachers I particularly disliked, like one of my English teachers in primary school and quite a few others in high school and university, and some hateful classmates, but I have no complaints about the system in general.

Yes, unfortunately. And it's taking a toll on my sanity. Although it's useful, it would be even more so if the teachers and students would stop leaving. My advanced classes are so small they don't even feel like classes. But for now this is the best I can do since Birmingham-Southern was so expensive.

MG please. And I would like another game of Mystery Pokemon with DP Pokemon. *pays*

Question #2: Does the Pokemon's name start with a vowel?

[Lady Vulpix]

No, it doesn't. Wasn't that the same as asking whether it was Omastar?

[classy_cat18]

NO! Fatal error! I meant to say "end"! *bangs head on keyboard* Can I just get my Red MGCoin back since I'm not going to get the answer within four questions?

[Lady Vulpix]

I guess you can. Would you like a new game?

Yes please, again with DP Pokemon.

[Inferno_Dragon]

GT: This Pokemon's sashaying can be very alluring to people.

Is it Medicham? If I am wrong, then I still have my last Blue MG Coin Coin and whole bunch of Stamps and a Gold Berry to get me plenty of Red MG Coins.

[classy_cat18]

Nope, wrong. It was Jynx. Oh, and let me remind you that you can only buy a Red MGCoin when you have no MGCoins on hand. You may already know that and I apologize if you do, but I'm just saying.

[Inferno_Dragon]

Wait, you can split a Blue MG Coin into Red MG Coins, right? I forgot about that if I am right. Well, I will do that ....... if I can and use the first Red MG Coin to play a game of Mystery Pokemon with D/P.
