I'm anti-Shakespeare and anti-cursive.

I love Shakespeares writings. I find them intelligent and you really have to use your brain to understand what he is trying to say. You can't just read it like a normal novel. You have to read it like a play.. which is how it's intended. use your intelligence (if you have some) and use your imagination (if you have it) and then you will get the play. Shakespeare plays are amazing. I didn't have to take a university course on shakespeare to understand his works were amazing.

A single play can have more deaths in it than Game of Thrones and The Walking Dead combined! How is that boring!?

It's to dramatic, it's like a chick flick.

What now? Even Romeo and Juliet is not a chick flick. Then you have stuff like Macbeth, Hamlet, King Lear. Shit, The Taming of the Shrew is about a guy who thinks this chick is a bitch and beats and humiliates her until she conforms and behaves up to his standards. Another one, I think it is Titus Andronicus, a dude murders people, grinds them up and serves them to people in a pie. Pretty sure it's Measure for Measure that is just about a bunch of people fucking. I could be wrong there though, it's been over a decade since I didn't bother to read that but got 80% on a presentation for it in a University Shakespeare class.
But moral: there is nothing chick flicky about any of this, lol.
Furthermore, many of his plays have been made into films you probably do like. (i.e. The Lion King is Hamlet, 10 Things I Hate About you is The Taming of the Shrew, etc).

I used to wonder why Bulldozers never offers anything valuable to a discussion. Why he never chooses to apply something he is intrigued with in his life to these discussions and open up a bit. I am now realizing it is because he is either the most boring person on the planet, or he just has no life experiences to this point that he simply cannot partake in anything or contribute anything valuable because of his lack of experience in everything.
That's not necessarily a bad thing either. It just means that all of the really cool stuff in your life is ahead of you.

I hate having to read Shakespeare in school. They want us to know how to read and write but they teach us something that involves language that we don't even use anymore. It's called culture... I mean I could see complaining about calculus or algebra or something cuz there's really not many instances where you need those unless you're thinking about being an engineer or something lol |

Don't even bother trying to explain anything to him. Apparently nothing in the world that happened pre-1990 matters.
Oh wait, he takes up arms about the shit going down in the middle East. But people start offering perspectives on history, culture, societies, social spheres, etc. and they are wrong.
How the hell can you ever have an opinion (sorry, I should say an EDUCATED opinion) on anything without knowing the history of it? Where did it start? How did it start? How were people in that era affected by it, and how does that now translate to society today?
No. 1990. Nothing before matters, period.
Idiocy.
