They consider this an economics question?!?!

"The National Hockey Leagu's Minnesota Wild is made up of mostly white players, while the National Basketball Associations's Minnesota Timberwolves has mostly black. Is this a coincidence?"

 

hahaha wtf?

 

And another question I just read

 

"Extensive research seems to suggest that beer in moderation is good for us. does this mean that a keg parties can help you live longer?"

What on earth is going on there?

 

Slightly reminds me of a fake Arsene Wenger (Arsenal manager) that appeared in a Kenyan newspaper. For anyone who knows Wenger's public persona - the interview is just incredibly bizarre.

 

 

 

APIDI: Thank you for giving me this opportunity to have a word with you Sir.

 

WENGER: You are welcome. I would prefer you call me Arsene, not Sir because I’m a professor, not Sir. (Referring to Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson).

 

APIDI: What is your general assessment of how South Africa has hosted the 2010 Fifa World Cup so far?

 

WENGER: South Africa has done a great job and exceeded expectations. The people are so passionate about the game, stadiums are full, the infrastructure is fantastic and the general organisation is marvelous.

 

APIDI: Let us talk about the World Cup now. How would you describe the team performances starting with France, your home nation?

 

WENGER: Well, I’m not supposed to talk about the national team because you all know what happened, but I think there was a problem between the manager and the players. This affected the team spirit on and off the pitch.

 

APIDI: What about England?

 

WENGER: They had a good manager, but there was no teamwork. The team was not united, with the captaincy changing hands so many times before the World Cup. They also never had a plan B.

 

APIDI: What do you mean with plan B?

 

WENGER: It was clearly evident the same team that started went on to play all the matches, apart from just one change in attack. You need to have players for different situations and challenges.

 

APIDI: Was leaving Theo Walcott out of the squad a mistake?

 

WENGER: Yes, it was a big mistake. Walcott is a player who can change a game upside down in the second-half in your favour. He has speed and can cause a lot of problems for the opponents.

 

APIDI: What is your take on the teams still surviving in the tournament and who do you think will win the World Cup?

 

WENGER: All the remaining teams have been carried by their midfield, not strikers. Germany have a very good midfield of (Mesut) Ozil, Bastian (Schwensteiger) and (Sami) Khedira. Spain have Inniesta (Andreas), Xavi (Alonso) and Cesc Fabregas. Holland have Arjen Robben and (Wesley) Sneidjer, (Mark) van Bomel. The best midfield will win the World Cup.

 

APIDI: Any good players you have seen in the tournament?

 

WENGER: Yes, Ozil (Germany) and Giovanni Dos Santos of Mexico.

 

APIDI: That takes me to your home; Arsenal.

 

WENGER: Ah yes, I was waiting for that all this time.

 

APIDI: Are we likely to see the two (Ozil and Dos Santos) at Arsenal?

 

WENGER: You can only field 11 players at a time, but we will wait and see.

 

APIDI: Is Cesc Fabregas leaving Arsenal?

 

WENGER: I do not see him leaving soon.

 

APIDI: Any players likely to leave?

 

WENGER: Yes, Gallas (William) could be on his way out but we will still wait and see.

 

APIDI: Anyone coming in?

 

WENGER: Yes. Marouane Chamakh is already in and a defender is on the way too. You will know after the World Cup who will be coming.

 

APIDI: Goalkeeping let you down last season, anybody going or coming?

 

WENGER: Manuel Almunia Rivero is a talented goalkeeper. In training, he is superb, the only problem is that he gets nervous on big matches, thereby making silly mistakes. After the World Cup, we will be making an announcement on goalkeeping.

 

APIDI: Are we likely to see an invincible team again bearing in mind that you have gone a couple of seasons without a trophy?

 

WENGER: This could be the season that we start getting trophies. Another invincible team is seen coming if not this season.

 

APIDI: Why do you tend to like blacks?

 

WENGER: I look at quality, not colour.

 

APIDI: Your take on African teams in the World Cup?

 

WENGER: There are very good and talented players in Africa. We need to have youth academies because that is the only way to develop the game. Give the youth a chance and have faith in them, remain principled and be patient.

 

APIDI: What do you make of Ghana’s striker Asamoah Gyan’s missed penalty in their quarter-final match against Uruguay?

 

WENGER: He had the pressure of the entire African continent on his feet. He needed to be calm and a little patient. I always tell my players to pick their points and hit the ball hard when taking penalties. I would rather the goalkeeper saves but not hitting the crossbar. It means you were accurate and on target.

 

APIDI: Have you heard of Kenya?

 

WENGER: Yes. Very good athletes and recently a Kenyan player (McDonald Mariga) was signed by Inter Milan and played in the Champions League.

 

APIDI: Would you like to come to Kenya?

 

WENGER: Yes. With my family for holiday.

 

APIDI: A Kenyan Arsenal fan committed suicide when the team lost to Manchester United. What message would you have for Kenyan Arsenal fans?

 

WENGER: What? (shocked) My condolences. To Arsenal fans, keep on supporting Arsenal, another invincible team is on the way. And please, do not commit suicide.

 

 

Wenger is amongst one of the most intelligent men in football. He talks with such fluency about football yet here it seems he's been severely brain damaged. 'Why do you tend to like blacks?' Just what the fuck?!

What kind of economics class is this? Macro? Micro? Wtfcro?

Economics </3

 

.

Actually Arsene Wenger has a masters degree in economics so yeah ask him.

Hey I'm taking micro too :awesome:

Micro
I would need to know what topic(s) in micro before I could effectively answer the question(s); need a frame of reference

lol glad I don't have to take these classes yet.

Last year I sat for this major exam that everyone in my country when they reach 15, have to sit for it. And for my maths paper, I got a question that goes something like:

 

6k = 18, what is the value of k?

 

lol.

i used to love hockey.

 

then everything changed.

Thanks, but I don't need help with the question. I just wanted to show how ridiculous this class is.

^ Yeah, I know. :nice: Although it may just be the book that's rediculous, not so much the class itself.

 

I :heart: economics

:laugh4:

You need to put down that black people are scared of ice.

 

I love reading really what the fuck questions and just laughing at them.

We were studying the Poem Raglan Road by Patrick Kavanagh

this one ↓ ( it's a pretty easy one to understand :nice: )

 

 

On Raglan Road on an autumn day I met her first and knew

That her dark hair would weave a snare that I might one day rue;

I saw the danger, yet I walked along the enchanted way,

And I said, let grief be a fallen leaf at the dawning of the day.

 

On Grafton Street in November we tripped lightly along the ledge

Of the deep ravine where can be seen the worth of passion's pledge,

The Queen of Hearts still making tarts and I not making hay -

O I loved too much and by such and such is happiness thrown away.

 

I gave her gifts of the mind I gave her the secret sign that's known

To the artists who have known the true gods of sound and stone

And word and tint. I did not stint for I gave her poems to say.

With her own name there and her own dark hair like clouds over fields of May

 

On a quiet street where old ghosts meet I see her walking now

Away from me so hurriedly my reason must allow

That I had wooed not as I should a creature made of clay -

When the angel woos the clay he'd lose his wings at the dawn of day.

 

 

 

Two of the questions were,

"Do you think that the phrase "it takes two to tango" ever occurred to Kavanagh?"

and

"Is the poet a misogynist?"

 

:facepalm:

Well that was obviously asked by a woman :lol:

"The National Hockey Leagu's Minnesota Wild is made up of mostly white players, while the National Basketball Associations's Minnesota Timberwolves has mostly black. Is this a coincidence?"

 

White men can´t jump.
