...you may also add 'pilosopo' to the list.<br /><br />this article may have its flaws but i agree with what you're trying to say. i've been called an elitist for 'preferring' foreign shows to local ones. it honestly has more to do with the show itself rather than where it is made. pinoys make shows that focus more on romance, which is a topic I don't enjoy that much.

"Its been documented that Religion has long been anti intellectual and would go through great lengths to maintain." It has also been documented to the contrary. This debate is in almost every thread ever in the history of the internet, whether religion hinders the pursuit of knowledge. You should not spew mere thinks-and-thunks as fact as every good debater knows. Also lighten the fuck up have the times I hear these said/I say these like "IKAW NA!" it is in intellectual jealousy and awe. I say it instead of, "I'll show you! I can do that," so that I don't sound so competetive. Also saying "Ang nerd mo!" is a way of saying WOAH good job. True intellectuals take these as compliments and don't get offended.

"punctuations" is used as a shorthand for punctuation marks. in much the same way as you use "capital" as the shorthand for capital form, and "plural" for plural form. apologies if shorthand does not befit your reading pleasure, but befits your writing style.<br /><br />3) triple periods. sorry... if i used ellipses... for dramatic effects... should i be jailed for that?<br /><br />ok let me dumb my points a few notches down for you. first is the pot calling the kettle black. pretentious intellectual looking down on anti-intellectuals by his standards, that sort of shit. second is making the english language a superior language. the point actually goes beyond him committing grammatical lapses - but i thought pointing this out would prove a point in a very efficient way; apparently not in your case. third - i didn't give my third, and several after that, because i was too sleepy and i couldn't hold my adhd-esque attention span any much longer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6648407279255414074.post-13323963648736912822014-09-17T12:07:28.027-07:002014-09-17T12:07:28.027-07:00(what can i say? you had me at your impeccable use...(what can i say? you had me at your impeccable use of punctuations and precision in grammar just on your first sentence...

First letter of the first word must be in capital<br />2.) There is no such word as "punctuations", the plural of punctuation is just punctuation<br />3.)

Bilang isang secular humanist, naniniwala ako na malaki ang kinalaman nito sa kalidad ng edukasyon at 'up bringing' ng isang tao. Maari rin na mali ako kasi meron akong kapit bahay, high school graduate at kasalukuyang tricycle driver, makikita mo na interesado parin siya sa mga usapang philosophical at pilit inaalam ang mga ipig kong sabihin lalo na sa larangan ng Metapisika. Hindi ako magpapaka plastik pero jologs talaga sa paningin ko ang mga text nila, pero kung hindi nila ako gets, sinisisi ko ang kalidad ng edukasyon nang pinang galingan nila o maaaring sadyang pinili nila na hindi makinig. <br /><br />Teka..<br /><br />Hindi kaya hindi tayo parepareho. Maaari na iba iba lang talaga ang trip ng mga tao. Meron din naman akong mga nakausap na mga kolehiyalang kumuha ng psychology at nasa huling taon na sila ng pag-aaral. Makikita mo na hindi lahat makukuha ang interest ng ibang tao. Para sa iba, boring ito at walang kahahantungan. Kumbaga ang 'intellectual masturbation' para sakanila ay malaking aksaya lang ng oras.
