&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Why do I say this ?&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Because I can. I'll hate society all I want. I'll watch it until the day its perfection swallows itself whole and excretes its own remains over the corrupt minds of our communist government.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Not only has the Australian government absolutely guaranteed its own failure in future, but it has ensured that by the time of the expiry of the Japanese treaty of them not being able to have an army, we will be screwed.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;This is another &amp;quot; Don't you hate it when something is stupid and you can't do anything about it &amp;quot; moment.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;It's like when you accidently shoot yourself in the head. You trust the ambulance officers to arrive swiftly, but jerks who can't drive properly in the city don't care about anyone but themselves. This then relates back to the government and the health system crisis. I think we should rob Johnny boy and force him to live in public housing. That's if the government can be bothered to find some.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Now back to the original argument.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;John Howard is an ugly test tube baby who has sapped so much money out of me, by the time I'm 20 I would have had enough to buy a house and a car. Not to say that I would want to, though. I'd be more likely to live in the back of a flea-ridden Bus-Van-Thing with a collection of bear skins. If that makes any sense. Speaking of bear skins, another byproduct of scientific research goes by the name of Terry Goan. That's right, my school princi&amp;quot;pal&amp;quot; whose ears love the sound of his own voice and whose inflated head would explode if touched by a sharp pointy object ( Mission 1: Grab the nearest emo-kid and watch some fat head fly ). While sometimes he can run our school and make some good decisions, for the other 99% of the time he's a real arse. I swear I walked past him 30 seconds after the bell went today and I was late for class, according to his watch which can go forward in time when he wants it to.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;While on the subject of time travel:&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;I need a lift to Sydney, for no particular reason. If you can get me there in 20 hours, that's time travel.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Enjoy.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;At the time of writing this, I'm doing an assignment.
&lt;p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;By the completion of this, I'm still going to have more assignments to do.
&lt;p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;And, once I've done those assignments, I'm still going to have homework, and, most probably, more assignments.
&lt;p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;The single most contradictory thing about this is, my teachers wonder what I do with my time. 
&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot; Why isn't this done ? &amp;quot; I get asked. 
&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot; Oh, sorry miss, I couldn't do your work because I didn't have any time after I was wasting it on assignments &amp;quot;.
&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot; Well that's a detention for you, because you were doing work &amp;quot;.
&lt;p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Now, this is a real problem, happening every day, in many places, all over the world ! As a solution, Karl and I have discussed a plan to relieve some of the stress of all of this work.
&lt;p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Part one: &lt;u&gt;The Boycott&lt;/u&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Part one of our plan involves boycotting assignments, by getting as many people as possible to sign a petition against assignments and outside of school work. Once enough support has been gained, we photocopy the petition hundreds of times ( this would probably be out of our own money ) and hand them to as many people as possible. Everyone will know, we hate assignments. 
&lt;p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;You know why ? Because they waste time. I seriously can't be bothered to do a good job on them anymore. So what if I still get good marks for them, I don't care. Assignments waste time, which could be used for studying and &lt;strong&gt;relaxing &lt;/strong&gt;which means we're in a better mood for school. And guess what, if we're in a better mood, we can &lt;strong&gt;think&lt;/strong&gt; a lot better, as well.
&lt;p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Part two: &lt;u&gt;The Argument&lt;/u&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I know, people will oppose me on this idea. &lt;strong&gt;Those people suck&lt;/strong&gt;. They are the ones who think that an unfair advantage on everyone makes them better. They might study a little harder, do a little more work, or put in that little bit extra effort just to suck up to some jerk face teacher, but that doesn't make them any better than the teacher themselves. In fact, &lt;strong&gt;schools&lt;/strong&gt; are mainly screwed themselves. The schools will oppose my idea. Simply, because they think students need something to occupy them.
&lt;p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Go fuck yourselves. Assignments are ridiculously easy to pass on. What does that teach ? Not a thing. We can just copy small bits from here and there and call it done. Seriously, why make students do homework and assignments ? A lot of the time, it's not done until the last minute. What does that teach ? Be lazy ? Not one person is forcing us to do them. Bring back Communism, then that'll get us working.
&lt;p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Part Three: &lt;u&gt;The Replacement&lt;/u&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What happens when the schools stop placing the huge amount of pressure on students, with MOUNTAINS UPON MOUNTAINS of assignments and homework ? Quite simply, we replace it with regular testing, done at school. A recent summary of what has been taught within lessons. &lt;strong&gt;An actual average&lt;/strong&gt; of how well the student has been understanding the work being taught. 
&lt;p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;You see, exams, and regular testing allows students to study, and not be forced into some impossible task. We can relax. We can get into a habit of actually learning something, instead of going out the other ear. We, can sleep, instead of those long nights of staying up to just get that assignment done because we couldn't do it in the week due to having to do another one.
&lt;p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;If you thought like me, you'd know what I am saying. I think this is a teriffic idea. If you agree, link this to all your friends. In fact, e-mail it. I want everyone to see my stance on the fucked up rating system we have for schools. I want something to be done about it.
&lt;p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;I want, N.O.A.H. to be the new trend within schools:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;strong&gt;N&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;O&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A&lt;/strong&gt;SSIGNMENTS or
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;H&lt;/strong&gt;OMEWORK
&lt;p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Tell everyone you know. Link them back to here. Let them see, how much easier this system would be.
&lt;p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Enjoy,
