Лучше бы не спрашивал. Вроде на 2 года разница... Да никак.
Мишка, я бы с удовольствием прибил бы путина с медведём. Как можно с ЕГЭ просто опустить собственный народ, в говно его по образованию ззасунуть, а потом орать по всему свету, как они каких-то там вонючих арабов из помоёк вытаскивают.
В своей стране дерьма собрали бы, уроды. Они же дальше кольца не видят ничего. Да и вокруг куча жополизов.

Да ладно! А то раньше девицы песенники ласковым маем не исписывали, с розочками и стишками, безо всякого ЕГЭ и Путина. Да и супругу твою реформа образования, я так понимаю, не коснулась. Есть вкусы - и вкусы и так всегда было. Кто-то же до сих пор таскается на концерты Пугачёвой и семейки, и вряд ли это жертвы ЕГЭ и прочего вышеупомянутого. :)

К моему глубокому сожалению ты не права.

;-))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) Ух, сильно ты их! Хотя вот здесь я с тобой согласен на 200%. Элементарная безвкусица. Которая поощрается каналом Россия. На манеже всё те же. Мне вот по своей работе приходится сейчас частенько смотреть ТВ, ну скучно просто в тишине сидеть. Настройка железяк. Дело требует внимания. Что-то серьезное слушать не могу, ибо отвлекаюсь. Как канал Россия - ну минут 10 терпеть можно, пока блевать не начинаешь...
А насчёт ЕГЭ: да вспомни ту же Фидошку 15-летней давности. Любой сопливый юнош писал практически без ошибок. Что по синтаксису, что по орфографии. А что делается сейчас по эхам? Просто Содома и Геморрой. Про знаки пунктуации вообще забыли, я уж не говорю про остальное. Если училки в школе тупорылые, так что говорить о учениках? Ну задачки по математике: сидели на реке 4 воробья. Три улетели, сколько осталось? А ты про семейку... Вспомнил песенку .... как их, мать их... У тебя глаза 2 бриллинта в 3 карата... Да Жванецкий такое бы не сочинил. Ну представь глазки в 3 карата...
Так что жертв ЕГЭ полстраны. :-( Я только понять не могу, это тупость или вредителтьство. Дядя вова вроде не дурак, дядя миша всяко прикидывается простачком... Нахрена страну в дерьмо загонять? Ну ехали бы в свою долбаную сирию... Задрали уже. То сирия, то украина, то их президент американский волнует. Своей страны у них нет.
