And you get a lot more flies with shit than you do with vinegar....which sort of explains the longevity of religion.

You know, now that I think about it, there's something rather subversive about that saying. Be nice, for the tactical and strategic benefits.
As they say, "Age and treachery will overcome youth and skill every time."

Listen in that class, you might learn something. Do not just dismiss. I'd find that class highly interesting myself. Smile

His point, I believe, is to say that it had the potential to be interesting, but it is being ruined by idiots. I didn't see him once suggest that he would dismiss the teachings. It is his fellow classmates that pose a problem.

Fair enough, though if i were bothered by my classmates I would just focus on the material we were learning rather than their reactions to the material we were learning. If I didn't understand a math concept right away I would hope no one would think ill of me for it. :/

I'm sure he does focus on the material in class. He is not in class when he comes to AF.
