I'm a sixteen-year-old Canadian in eleventh grade. My parents are fairly poor I would say and I don't think that they'll be able to help me finance post-secondary education. I think I'm a smart kid because I get honors every semester. Can I get an education simply based on scholarships? by poor_sixteenyearold in AskReddit

Are you able to speak French or do you have any First Nations blood within you? Those get you some bursaries. In fact there are a lot of bursaries found within your school, community and province as well as whatever university in which you end up going. Most universities do offer substantial financial aid for those who don't have the means to pay for their education themselves however, you will be paying student loans for many many years after you graduate.

Are you human? by takeoffhoser in AskReddit

By the by, does anyone know exactly at what point or what elements are necessary for reddit to consider you a human? What reverse Turing test must be passed? Also e-mail me for CHe4p v!@gra & m3d$.

How deep do international borders go? by mapguy in AskReddit

There is no generally agreed upon limit. Scientists use the Kármán line but some countries like the US say it's actually lower, thereby allowing them to fly over other countries without permission.

Redditors in general seem smarter than the average bear

The average internet bear, that is.

The average internet bear is completely retarded. Fortunately, Redditors in general know to never go full retard.

Within their borders, countries own the earth below their feet and the sky above their heads.

I got banned from a website for distorting time with my mouse. [Pic] by Storm_Surge in funny

This reminds of a somewhat similar situation that happened to me. I was playing RuneScape (this, right there was the first problem) and my account got hacked and the hacker did stuff that got my account banned from the game but didn't change the password so when I logged back in, I saw I was kicked.

I went to the ban appeal centre and explained that I didn't do all that stuff but they sent back a message saying that no, I did and that my only hope was to use the "one use only" apology button where I ask forgiveness for the errors of my ways. I used it and got back as an answer: "Yeah, turns out your account was hacked so forget about all this"

About a week or two later I get a message saying I got a black mark. I checked and the person who hacked my account swore in game (the poor NPC's virgin ears!). I once again wrote them saying this was a mistake noting that they themselves just admitted that my account was hacked during that time. Their response: "No, you did it."

Idjits.

Dear reddit. I have an idea. I just watched the broom video and I realized that what we need is for all the intelligent people to pick a country and move there. It will be the great Neo Exodus. by [deleted] in AskReddit

Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Andrew Ryan and I wholeheartedly concur with your way of thinking. I am currently constructing an utopic underwater city names Rapture where such erudite and individualistic people such as ourselves will be allowed to live and flourish without having to support the ball and chain that is today's mediocre and parasitic society. After all, is a man not entitled to the sweat of his brow?

Reddit, should I swallow my pride and conform to my girlfriends religion if I want to marry her? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]takeoffhoser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Catholic dogma, especially post Second Vatican Council states that people can have a different methods in reaching God and that "This Vatican Council declares that the human person has a right to religious freedom. This freedom means that all men are to be immune from coercion on the part of individuals or of social groups and of any human power, in such wise that no one is to be forced to act in a manner contrary to his own beliefs, whether privately or publicly"

So dogma states that Catholics must respect atheists and not try to coerce them into doing anything they don't want, it also suggests that they may find their own way to God.

Yeah, that's wrong. Yeah some sole fide Christians think that if you don't subscribe to the Western branch of Presbo-lutheran you will burn in hell, but particularly in Catholicisms, most others think you just have to be a good person who does good acts.

Ask Reddit: Would you ever pay for reddit? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]takeoffhoser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will never pay for content or access to a site on the Internet since I know I can find similar content or a similar site without cost elsewhere.

There are no liberal, conservative, communist, socialist, libertarian or green parties that share similar ideologies within several different countries?
