The rest were worn down by the stupid kids who seem to be the majority. And with stupid i mostly mean how they act. Uncontrollable a-holes. Once you get older and are paying for your education with your own earned money then suddenly everything changes as all the other ones also want to get their moneys worth and pay attention and do the work.

      I used to just hang out, unenrolled at various collage/university libraries, or just on the grounds, chatting with students who were enrolled in various subjects, and some professors would either just allow me to sit in class, or not even know that I was not a formal student. This was some great fun and a lot of freedom to meet people from many backgrounds and varying modes of thought.

      @@dahleno2014 One thing I wish native speakers of English would realize once and for all, is the fact that the Internet speaks to the whole world. Bearing that in mind would be the start of some respect for the millions abroad who put 1000s of hours into learning English as a second language. And yes, sometimes, they struggle to understand highly interesting content delivered with poor speech control.

      @Estarossa I wasn't speaking about her particularly, but in general (I did say "yes, sometimes, etc.") - although some aspects of what I said could apply to her as well. You have the luxury of not having to work (much) on what has become the international language; now's the time to realize that. Just my opinion.
      I could also ask you if you've ever learned a second language, and whether you know what I'm talking about, but I feel that would be rather useless.

      A physical law, scientific law, or a law of nature is a scientific generalization based on empirical observations of physical behavior. They are typically conclusions based on repeated scientific experiments over many years, and which have become accepted universally by scientist because our collective consciousness agreed on certain physical law that made sense to most physicist society so it became the law . are we creating or discovering physical laws ?

    I appreciate the candor, honesty and humility that's apparent here. The origin of life still seems to be miraculous. The idea of a self-replicating, hydrolyzable polymer spontaneously forming in boiling (or nearly boiling) water is ludicrous. The idea that some series of chemical reactions persisting for long periods of time spontaneously forming a reproducing, information -containing molecule is just as ludicrous. I believe that we are stuck.
