If you are going to use my name in an argument, you have to capitalize it; that's only fare.

Besides, I am allowed to make a few extra mistakes this year as I am not teaching English, but Robotics.

How quickly it goes!

I'd be interested what jobs you applied for njx in which they threw out any prerequisite degrees, it just seems unreal to me that it could be that different in the USA to Australia that the degree just doesn't matter?

The only difference in the job markets is that Australia enjoys 10 page resumes, and America throws yours away if it is over a page.

Would love it cleared up whether they just throw it out and don't even call or if they just assume it will be good and call... either way, can't see say an accounting firm hiring someone with a humanities degree or even an engineering degree for that matter.

Now whether the degree should matter is another issue, I know I basically had forgotten everything I learned when I started and I honestly think that my degree requiring job could be done by a well trained monkey if one was so inclined but I know I don't get it without the degree for sure.

Yo,

I have an essay to write, What are the Pros and Cons of Living in Ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia. WTF kind of subject is that? I can think of plenty of cons, but pros? Damn.

You can see the stars better at night? ****

No smog
You never have to shovel snow
You get to party with King Tut

MichaelJordanEberle (sabf) · 10-19-2010, 10:25 PM

And according to the Bible, you got a big wang.

FuzzyGopher · 10-19-2010, 10:26 PM

No technology so you're forced to communicate face to face and actually pay attention to people, we become more mechanical and thus lazier with more technology. Con of no technology is no child porn.

MichaelJordanEberle (sabf) · 10-19-2010, 10:27 PM

Really though, I think it would help to look at the question from a perspective of as a contemporary, what would be the pros and cons, rather than, as a guy living in 2010, what would be the pros and cons.

I think im going to do half of the paper from a contemporary point of view, and half from a modern-day POV!

19 Yet she became more and more promiscuous as she recalled the days of her youth, when she was a prostitute in Egypt. 20 There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses. 21 So you longed for the lewdness of your youth, when in Egypt your bosom was caressed and your young breasts fondled.

njx9 · 10-19-2010, 10:39 PM

pros: after leading my people out of egypt, we're all in pretty good shape. also, YHWH killed a bunch of dudes i didn't like.

cons: pyramids. pharaoh. our single language got mixed up. floods. YHWH keeps killing us.

mesopotamia actually has a fair number of pluses for a bronze age society. see: enki, mythology. 'first' civilization.

This is a very easy subject to write about, but I have taken like 7 history classes sooo, anyway.

Some pros in living in Ancient Egypt is definitely the Nile river and the fertile land around it. Also a huge pro is there is basically no threat of an invasion. No would could survive walking a month of a dessert to attack someone. This and the Nile are two huge reasons why they survived for so long. They also had a lot of gold which they basically used to decorate their Pharaohs.

Cons would be the weather. Of course it's the dessert, never ******* rains. Also a con would be really strict rituals.

Mesopotamia pros are the two rivers, Tigris and Euphrates. They served as transportation, food, and an easy trade route. Pros would also be a very innovative environment that have made **** we still use today. Pros are also that you could be the world's first literate person and first one with a religion. A big pro would be that you would be living in a very advanced place at that time, first government, good technology.

Cons would be that if you're a woman, you're useless in society besides from cleaning and cooking. Also a con would be that you were not going to get educated, unless you're really rich.

If i weren't lazy, I would type it for you. If you need anything just PM me. I could add a whole bunch more for you.

I think you are forgetting one pretty major role ;) The kind of role that would make the internetz and it's greatest attribute irrelevant!

FuzzyGopher · 10-24-2010, 05:56 PM

This is a long shot, but I figured it's worth a try.

Calculate the OAR using the band of investment technique based on the following. Debt=65%, 25 year amortization 7 year call at 12% (assume annual payments) and the equity requirement is 16%.

umphrey · 10-24-2010, 06:25 PM

I have a minor in math and I've taken a number of classes out of the school of business but I've never heard of a band of investment technique or know wth OAR is

FuzzyGopher · 10-24-2010, 06:56 PM

OAR is overall capitalization rate. My professor is a douche, this is a principals of real estate class that I'm taking as an elective and I'm majoring in economics. I'm pretty sure he is making this class 10 times harder than it needs to be, he never even went over this stuff in his lectures, he taught it during an optional study session that I didn't attend.

Bills2083 · 11-01-2010, 03:55 PM

I have a paper for my FYS class regarding whether or not the city of Buffalo can be revitalized and if not, what its future may look like.

Do any of you on SWDC know of other cities who turned around their economy and became a good city? Ex: Detroit and Buffalo were once great cities but have since fallen from that point and become bottom-dwellers. Are there any that went from bottom-dwellers to great city?

Thanks for any help, +rep
