You know what? Active voice can suck it.

Also, I thought I'd throw out a little bit of hate (not TOO much) for my Asian studies class. No, the class is fine and such (even though it's a night class) but the TESTs are terrible! 205 questions, 105 of them are true and false. And the questions are stuff like "If you were to fly from Laos to Kandy (I think that's how it's spelled) which direction would you fly?"

And I have to third the solely-black-mage users. I NEVER use my characters who are only black mages.

Calculus makes my head hurt.. a lot. My first teacher when asked, by me, to explain the principals behind the theorums and formulas would always respond with, "because that's what it says in the book." My next teacher kept getting the formulas wrong and doing the actual basic operations wrong and that just messed me right up, haven't taken a math since then.

I am a physical kind of player and absolutely hate playing ranged casters, any casters at all really.

Math, hands down. I just cannot, cannot, CANNOT wrap my head around the numbers. And formulas make me want to curl into the fetal position. Also, I hate English because the teacher is an annoying doo-doo face head.

My least favorite classes are the ones that I can't control. Berserkers come to mind. I always use a balanced party and utilize everybody, so I generally have a party with 1 fighter, 1 healer, and 1 offensive spell dude. If I have four people in the party, I'll have a thief, if I have 5, add a... whoever's available at the moment in FF4.

Then shouldn't that be 'it can be sucked by active voice'?

I second math. It's so incredibly interesting at times, yet learning how to calculate all of this apeshit long formulae makes my muse start smoking.

Also: Blue mage. What a waste.

I've never understood the math hate...All the math courses I've taken over the years, if there are truly difficult equations to remember, they're usually given to you on the exam sheet or you're given a full fledged equation sheet. Like the probability course I took this semester...there are some lard ass equations when statistics are concerned, but it was all open-book.

Even I bitched about the size of the equations for a while, but by the end of the course, I had done enough practice with them that they were slowly sinking in and I barely needed to use notes.

And given the choice, feminism vs. calculus, shit, what do you want me to integrate and how fast would you like me to do it sir!

YES! I had totally forgot about the blue mages! They definitely get a place with the bards on my scale. Black, White, Red, tis all I need.

Yep, Tank, Healer, Nuker.

The backbone of any party. Everything else is just support.

Somebody hasn't heard of the Magic Hammer Matra-magic combo, eh?
knock huge chunk o' MP away and swap current HP with current MP. Two, or three, blue mages with those skills decimates anything.

Agree with you on bards though, with the exception of Deekin because..well..Deekin is Deekin.

Trying to think of a class I hated...I would say math but I had a hippy math teacher once who put an interesting spin on mathematics

School: Biology 101 was hell.

Games: "Jack of All Trades" type characters who eventually become just plain bad at everything.

Other: Those annoying fraternity and sorority kids, the ones who actually think that they're better or more important than other people because they willingly let themselves be abused in order to join an exclusive little club with a secret handshake. If half of all of them were killed, prefferebly brutally, then the collective IQ of Earth's population would skyrocket from 18 to 23 (still retarded, but might learn to tie shoes someday).

That's not fair at all. I mean for frat guys to think that, they'd have to be able to think, something other than 'BEER TITTIES HURRRR.'
