well actually your little picture dosent prove anything but yes, russia is generally considered to be part western europe and part northern asia i think most people consider it mostly europian though

Russia's capital city (Moscow) is, indeed, in Europe, though a great majourity of its land mass in in Asia.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Russians are generally caucasians. Asians are asians.. If Russia was part of Asia, why hadn't it taken part in any Asian activities? Asian Games for example.

Though it may span up to some regions of Asia, that doesn't make Russia an Asian nation. Russia's still part of Europe.

Excellent observation!

Even though most of Russia lies in Asia, the vast majority of its population resides in Europe, so it wouldn't be right to call it an Asian country just because a few Russian criminals are living in Siberia

Chiefly European, yes, but it is still part of Asia.

Wikipedia wrote:Russia ... is a transcontinental country extending over much of northern Eurasia.

If you had actually examined the picture you could see that the Eastern Part of Russia all the way up to Moscow is part of Europe. The rest of it is in Asia.

Basically, the Ural Mountains are the divider of European Russia and Asian Russia... It's farther than Moscow btw...

He's right, sort of - that map doesn't show the borders of continents, so there's no way to tell where Europe ends and Asia begins.

You can approximate it... especially since it's not that hard to figure out which surrounding countries belong to their respective continents. Unless of course, countries like Kazakhstan are also transcontinental...

Well taking the PSAT in the 10th grade when you had no math teacher isn't fun...

Critical Reading: 39 (I did 40% better than sophomores)
Mathematics: 30 (10% better than sophomores)
Writing Skills: 30 (14% better than sophomores)

Percentile: 10

This is what they put under "Your Educational Plans"

Grade Average: B+
College Major: Graphic Design (

)

Porsche-AG · Post by **Porsche-AG** » 06 Jan 2008, 02:58

Jeeze, they choose what college degree you have to enroll in?

Nice 'stats', I'm terrible at reading comprehension because all of the answers (multiple choice) sound like they would be right. What's your secret?

xHaZxMaTx · Post by **xHaZxMaTx** » 06 Jan 2008, 03:08

Process of elimination.

S2000_Skyline12 · Post by **S2000_Skyline12** » 06 Jan 2008, 03:26

I only use that if I really need to but I actually knew the answers to some of the questions like I studied or learned it already lol, I'm a great test taker though, my only academic strong point, especially in History (Social Studies) lowest test grade I got was a 90 and I got a 95 for average...and a 96 on my Unit Exam XD

xHaZxMaTx · Post by **xHaZxMaTx** » 06 Jan 2008, 03:46

You should always use process of elimination, even if you think you're right. Can't be too careful.

S2000_Skyline12 · Post by **S2000_Skyline12** » 06 Jan 2008, 04:29

Ah, true, you have a point

Porsche-AG · Post by **Porsche-AG** » 06 Jan 2008, 07:36

It's not easy to use elimination on reading comprehension exams... especially when the answers are something like this:

a) Happy
b) Joyful
c) Cheerful
d) Merry

I do extremely well in every other subject, especially math. I may even be able to pull a 100% average in my math course if I complete a bonus assignment and get 100 on the final.

xHaZxMaTx · Post by **xHaZxMaTx** » 06 Jan 2008, 08:31

That depends entirely on the question. Example: "How do you spell 'happy'?"

Porsche-AG · Post by **Porsche-AG** » 06 Jan 2008, 08:43

Well, I guess, but the question asked wouldn't be something as redundant as that. It would be more along the lines of "How was character A feeling at point B in the story?"

xHaZxMaTx · Post by **xHaZxMaTx** » 06 Jan 2008, 08:57

Ugh, that reminds me of those questions like, "What was the author thinking when writing this portion of the story?" How the f*ck should I know?!

Yeah i have those questions too and usually i just write something stupid.

Koenigsegg_Rox · Post by **Koenigsegg_Rox** » 06 Jan 2008, 13:59

My answer to the question: having a brief bout of depression before committing suicide. I hate those sorts of questions as well. Especially when the question has actually nothing to do with any feelings or emotions both within the story and within the author's brain, but rather is simple information regarding the story plot. Absolutely genius. NOT!!!

Stereo · Post by **Stereo** » 09 Jan 2008, 20:25

I don't know what to get for my birthday (Feb. 6th)

So far I've only thought of these:
---Samsung YP-P2 16GB mp3 player (when the 16gb comes out, and I already have a Zen Vision:M but it's really scratched up and it's impossible to watch videos now.)
---Nvidia 8800GT
---A lot of Blu-Ray DVD's
---Games
---$100-$200

Any suggestions? Might be a little early but then atleast I'll know what I want by the time it comes.

Porsche-AG · Post by **Porsche-AG** » 10 Jan 2008, 02:53

If you didn't have an mp3 player already, I'd definitely suggest the YP-P2. My friend has a white one, and it's a pretty amazing device. Even with no WiFi, it still seems more appealingn to me than the iPod Touch. So, if you happened to 'break'

your current mp3 player, I'd suggest that.

If not, just go for the cash. You can buy what you want with it and not have to rush anything.
