      Because Universities aren't there to educate, they are there to;
      Steal your private 'property' (textbooks, fees, union dues etc.)
      Protect the 'life' to which it is accustomed (Doing absolutely nothing to facilitate your education other than using convoluted language that results in absolutely nothing being said in the duration of an hour long lecture, therein necessitating the purchase of their overpriced tombs of even more convoluted waffle!)
      And the above two points being firmly sewn up herein, take a f*****g 'liberty'
      I hope that helps..........!
      P.s. You're hot, but I'm guessing that's something you already know?

    And then I found this
    Thank you Mr. Byrd for saving my life AND still giving me the sufficient content that I needed
    5 years later, I still remember everything that you've tackled in the vid
    You really are a great and efficient teacher

    Oh Mr. Byrd, god bless you! This video was so helpful! You know, it was only a year ago when my family illegally immigrated from Singapore to the United States. Luckily, my english is pretty good since I had been taking it in school.It was a rough time indeed. I suffered from Chronic depression, and we had to leave my cat back in Singapore, even though I'm pretty sure my mother lied to me about that since we didn't see it a month prior to leaving the country. My sister and father both caught the flu on the boat on the way to the U.S. . It was a long journey indeed! I had to hide with my family in one of the storage units, where we had no warmth, no food, no water. We had been banged around in there. The only food we had available was some chips and water that we had packed earlier. Every night, water would seep in to the storage unit, the cold liquid stinging my feet, and sickening me and my family. Those long cold nights were some of the hardest I have ever had to face. My oldest brother, Liung Xiu, was getting more and more sick everyday, and he had the worst conditions out of all of us. He died later in that storage unit. The worst part was that we couldn't get rid of the body, otherwise we would have been caught. As soon as we arrived at the California coast, we had to hide the body of my oldest brother in the ocean bay, and come later for it. I cried and cried for him. I didn't even have a chance to say goodbye, or even give him a proper burial. My school is only white people now and I just can't seem to learn anything, the teaching is so different. The only thing I can afford to eat is the dead human remains of my brother, and my family goes to soup kitchens often. I cry myself to sleep every night, sensing Liung Xiu's disappointed presence. All I ever wanted to do was impress my older brother and make him proud. His lifeless, chilled body is etched in to my brain, and I can't stop thinking about it when we we salvage on the thighs of his rotting corpse. So thank you, Mr. Byrd, you turned my whole life around and I now I can actually learn. I feel at home when I watch your videos, and I can't wait to see what more inspirational lessons you give. My Liung Xiu rest in piece, and may you keep your hard work up
    Love forever and always,
    Zhang Wei
