Because the country is also based on the principle that failureought not to be rewarded. :P

[QUOTE="wzboson"]Furthermore, most of these execs did not have any failures, and did their jobs quite well.GabuEx

Other than, er, driving their company into bankruptcy?

[QUOTE="Tauruslink"]Hey, aren't you Canadian?GabuEx

Yes, which is why I said "the"as opposed to "our".

oh sorry.

I think everyone knows I mean the US

[QUOTE="wzboson"]So why, why are people protesting at their door about a 500 grand bonus (1 dollar sallary).GabuEx

there are maybe 200 people out there like John

Our country is based on the principal that success can be achieved through education and hark work. Many of these execs worked their way up from nothing to Ivy League education. Most of them were not involved at all in the scandals that led to the need for bailout. So why, why are people protesting at their door about a 500 grand bonus (1 dollar sallary).

I understand that these people are upset that their skills are not valued as much as the execs, but such is life. We grow up with our parents telling us we're special, but people must eventually realize that their skills are not as marketable as someone elses, and hope for a better future for their children.

SATs are being less and less of an influence on college admissions, thanks to people being able to take classes for them. :)

I took them last week. Wasn't worried, and in fact they were quite easy. The biggest problem with them is that the trick questions sometimes get me (especially on the math, where I'm too busy trying to finish all the grid-ins).

what'd you get on the last grid in? the one about f (ab) ? And the one about the water buckets?
