Let's take a look at Tabs' post:

1. "When we was groing up" -10 points. Total redneck-speak. Might I suggest "When I grew up".

2. "we was all told by our teachers in school that America was the GREATEST that we represented everything good in the world and everybody loved America and Americans for it" -10.

3. "That America was honest as the day was long...Then something happened that started to change our opinions. That was the death of JFK, we didn't quiet believe what our HONEST, NEVER TELL A LIE government told us about it." First of all, if you believe 100% what ANYONE tells you, including your mother...then you are stupid. The US government has ALWAYS lied to the citizens of this country...because it is run by POLITICIANS. It lied in the Warren report, it lied in 2003 just before dubya invaded Iraq, and it lied to us today. -20.

Oh yeah: 2. You spelled "quite" as "quiet". A dictionary is available at any bookstore~


-I'm only going to reduce you by 10 points for that sentence, though there are multiple things wrong with it. First of all "we was told" doesn't exist in the English language. "We were told" is more correct. Second...we live in "America". So do the people in southern Chile. And the people in Argentina. And Brazil, Surinam, Mexico...have you found the pattern yet? "America" is the general name for North and South America...basically, the western hemisphere. You and me live in the United States of America.
That America was honest as the day was long...Then something happened that started to change our opinions. That was the death of JFK, we didn't quiet believe what our HONEST, NEVER TELL A LIE government told us about it.

4. "We started to examine and question what we was told to us in school"

Might I correct that: "What were were told in school" -10

-What the hell are you talking about? You're a conservative! Come on, what the hell are you thinking? You're supposed to tout the party line and not question authority EVER! Those teachers taught you those lessons. YOU will follow them young man....blindly!

5. Some of us got so angry that we was lied to by our teachers and government that we never forgave those little white lies we were told. Some keep pointing out the flaws and get angry when our government can not live up to the ideals that we were told about by our teachers in school when we were young. Today them people are called America Hating Liberals.


The sad part about this: The vast majority of people with the same political views as you Tabs actually talk that way-

N!

PS: I case I'm not wrong, you receive a grade of "50" on this paper.
