- chuckDontSurf, on 05/15/2008, -3/+41What kind of vague-ass ***** is this? Buried.
- jayhawk88, on 05/15/2008, -1/+21Wow, great advice. I wonder how many fortune cookies the author had to open to finish this article?
- socialpyramid, on 05/15/2008, -6/+21"I'm an honor roll student in the school of hard knocks" -digital underground
- surKaz, on 05/15/2008, -2/+15And THAT is exactly why you aren't getting a 4.0 in this school..
- saxreturns, on 05/15/2008, -1/+11I'm a School of Hard Knocks dropout. I fail at all of the above... even failing!
- TinternAbbot, on 05/15/2008, -1/+12Absolutely worthless article. I was expecting humorous thug-speak. Instead it was vague pseudo-advice.
- alex7575, on 05/15/2008, -1/+10All those As, A+s, GPs, GPAs, the weird numbers and all those @ signs made me all dizzy, and then you went BOOOYAAAH! and that scared the ***** out of me.
- esilverski, on 05/15/2008, -1/+11Things like drugs and alcohol are probably the best teachers
- alanocu, on 05/15/2008, -7/+16genuine, sincere - great article!
- jonwiththewind, on 05/15/2008, -1/+84.04... this GPA cannot be found
- PabloIV, on 05/15/2008, -1/+8These are pretty vague, cookie cutter, Dr. Phil, Self-help, social-worker, Dangerous minds, cliched, "wisdoms" that I don't think are really going to change anybody's lives, much less those of the people who are flunking the school of hard knocks.
- onionbagel724, on 05/15/2008, -8/+18fail? fail + anything does not equal 4.0
- Quadrophenic, on 05/15/2008, -14/+23"Don’t get caught up in negative things like drugs and alcohol."
I find both of these things to be highly positive. - bcars, on 05/15/2008, -1/+8I go to Rice where an A+ is valued at 4.33. So, assuming the School of Hard Knocks is your typical accredited education institution, you'll need 120 credit hours to graduate. With a 4.0 average, this gives you 480 GPA points (120 hours @ 4.0 GP each). If you made all A+'s, you could fail 2 (3 hour) courses and still achieve 484.96 GPA points (112 hours @ 4.33 GP each), leaving you with a 4.04, round that off to 4.0 and BOOOYAAAH.
- tidu, on 05/15/2008, -0/+5well a lot of my teachers make me lightheaded, especially around 8 am
- Epik, on 05/15/2008, -0/+6Skip the parties and drugs? Wrong. Skip the bad people is more like it. Don't put the blame on parties and drugs :(
- tidu, on 05/15/2008, -0/+5Want a 4.0? Skip all that other stuff, like social activities, personal growth, etc. and study. You'll have no friends, but at least you've got a 75k salary.
/sarcasm - lordtyros, on 05/15/2008, -2/+8You cannot learn from books. Replace these pages with life lessons and then you will have a book that is worth its weight in gold.
- inactive, on 05/15/2008, -0/+5I only got a GED of hard knocks....
- bluntphallus, on 05/15/2008, -0/+6But if you fail at failing, then that means you succeeded at something. Which means you didn't fail all the above, which clearly negates your comment. Paradox at work, folks.
But I'm pointing out the obvious. Being a picky prick. Acting completely oblivious to your wit. Continue.
WTF am I talking about? I require shooting. - chromerium, on 05/15/2008, -0/+4I think the words 'caught up in' are too vague. The original author should have said something like;
"Be moderate in your approach to alcohol and other substances." - AsianChopsticks, on 05/15/2008, -0/+5...Not even slightly funny.
- inactive, on 05/15/2008, -9/+15I have a PHD from this school!
- mokayogi, on 05/15/2008, -1/+5Yoda: That is why you fail.
- ZenMojo, on 05/15/2008, -0/+4Everyone knows that drugs and alcohol are extracurricular activities in the school of hard knocks. DENIED!
- TinternAbbot, on 05/15/2008, -1/+6One could easily argue that it's easy to get a high GPA in majors like science and engineering where there are rules and definite answers and where one is not subject to the whim of the grader.
- bluehark, on 05/15/2008, -1/+6sorry, i realize that i might get dugg down for saying this, but this is a bunch of BS. you can write anything as self-help these days, and it'll be bought. but ask yourself, did you ever, after these quick, in 7 steps, fix up your life, did you ever change anything?
- noisymime, on 05/15/2008, -0/+4Don't digg this man down! What's with all the prudish, "say no to drugs" ideology pushers on Digg today?
- granolajoe, on 05/15/2008, -0/+3I won't list all my experiences in life here, but I will say that I've learned the hard way that this is a school in which you always learn and there's room for advancement, but you NEVER graduate from.
- inactive, on 05/15/2008, -3/+6I agree you non-surfing son-of-a-bitch.
How does this ***** get Dugg? - wepto, on 05/15/2008, -2/+5Likewise.
Worst article on digg in a long time. - jjk7288, on 05/15/2008, -1/+4While it seems like there is a good underlying idea, the article is simply too vague to get all that much out of.
- nreynolds, on 05/15/2008, -0/+3I liked the second time you said it, but most people dugg the first for some reason... crazy diggers...
- SpencerMc, on 05/15/2008, -0/+3"I, on the other hand, am a fully-rounded human being, with a degree from the University of Life, a diploma from the School of Hard Knocks, and three gold stars from the Kindergarten of Getting the ***** Kicked Out of Me."
-Blackadder Goes Forth - abran1984, on 05/15/2008, -0/+4kiss ass
- ant1832, on 05/15/2008, -0/+3I'm sure it's been discussed whether or not that feature really adds value vs. the performance hit you'd get by adding that extra query to every comment posted on digg. Not a tough decision especially when its clear that that would be solving for the exception rather than a rule.
- noisymime, on 05/15/2008, -1/+3I feel sorry for the author, who will die without ever having lived.
- amanilaenvelope, on 05/15/2008, -0/+3Not so shy are we boy.
- inactive, on 05/15/2008, -2/+4Skip the parties and make friends? These two suggestions seem incongruous...
- surKaz, on 05/15/2008, -0/+2Yeah... I was your Research Advisor.. ..
- tidu, on 05/15/2008, -0/+2Dunder Mifflin. Limitless paper. In a paperless world.
- greenlight2001, on 05/15/2008, -0/+2With a name like "bluntphallus" it must be good.
- chromerium, on 05/15/2008, -0/+2I didn't buy anything. Its the internet, I read it for free!
- BuryIt, on 05/15/2008, -0/+3I prefer the school of Hard Knockers.
- CynicSight, on 05/15/2008, -0/+2They forgot one: Cheat.
- bokep, on 05/15/2008, -0/+2Looks like this article didn't pass.
- sarixe, on 05/15/2008, -0/+2While it's true I laugh at things that are funny, I didn't laugh at this comment.
- chuckDontSurf, on 05/15/2008, -0/+1That's because they're dumber. And I'm not trying to be clever. I've taken "humanities" classes and they've all been a breeze compared to the engineering classes. I think just about any engineer will tell you this. Try getting your humanities buddies to take a couple of engineer classes and see how they do.
