Hi guys. I'm asking you for help with my home assignment considering Prince and I thought of this site as the first place to go

The thing is, at my university where I study English, I was given a task to prepare a presentation about success. Whereas Prince is the only thing I would ever be willing to talk about, especially when it comes to success, I would like to ask you for help. While giving the presentation I have to provide my group with an article abot the topic I'm going to talk about and some video. And that's the problem. I can't find any articles among the Internet talking about Prince being successfull. Of course there are plenty of them, but I need it to be strictly about the success of the man. I think that the video 'The Glory Years' will do, but I don't know what to do with that damn article :< So, if you remember having read something like that, or even better, have any kind of such an article, please share it with me! I'd be very, very grateful!!

you want other folks to do your research?

do you understand that research is the part that proves character and is imperitive to your work and growth as a student

and what with the internet being so priominent with information at your fingertips?

Isnt this the second thread this week with someone asking for help to do their school work?

Dude wth is your problem, is such a reaction really necessary? No.

If people want to help they can, no need for you to attack her just for asking.

Yes it was neccessary. I can give my opinion if I want to . You allow for the dumbing of the American mind/academic work ethic all you want but I will state my opinions on it.

Leave your mom out of this. It doesnt matter where she is from. She doesnt need help. She can and should do it on her own. It isnt that difficult. Go fuck yourself Superman.

This is not personal for me, I just think you made an entirely uncalled for personal attck. So I say that and think that if you are going to act like a bitch then at least be willing to take it like one Rd. You are no better than any in here.

No is it personal for me. Who cares what you think I did Superman. Again leave your mopthjer out of this..she has NOTHING to do with this. Instead why arent you helping the lazy polish girl. I think this is more about me ,then about her for you but thats okay...its been a long time since Ive felt sexy Trem.

Ok I apologize. I wont act like a lil bitch as much as possible. I just dislike people cheating or not doing their own legwork in school.

rdhull: well, as Tremolina has mentioned, I ASKED for help. If you don't want to help me, all right, but why the hell are you insulting me, calling me lazy and acting like I did the worst crime on earth?! Jezus Christ, I know you guys know millions of articles and thought that maybe you would like to share, damn it! Do you really think that finding an article is doing the whole presentation? I'm only going to use some parts of it during the whole speech. The majority of group won't even look at this, but I have to have this. I will be TALKING (these are the speaking classes), the article is only a thing that is required by a teacher. And the main reason I've posted this thread here is because the majority of you speak English on a daily basis and it's much easier for you to find some interesting materials to share with 'the lazy polish girl'...

fuck all yall ....I apologiozed already even when I feel I shouldnt have

I explauined why I said what I said and that xplanation was not anything outlandish either

and for the record the links provided coulod have easily been googled by the OP just as well as the other poster did

and I never had no damned emu...

thats fucked up to jump bad AFTER I apologized

As an Englishman myself I've been known to speak English every now and then. I must say Rod, you're not helping the lazy Polish girl at all with those dyslexic coded posts. As charming as they are. You should 'apologioze' and explaun the point you were trying to make again.

As a wise Tibetan Yak once said. "What we learn along the way to trying to learn something can often teach us more than we would've learnt had we not been learning or looking to learn. Lesson learnt by the learned ones.

I knew it was Emu wot done it.

i've thought about this alot fonk and my theory is emu definitely done the pushing that tragic night. rdhull was regularly up on the roof twiddling his antenna with no falling escapades. he was as adept at scaling heights as "make way for" harold lloyd.

so why would rdhull choose a match night to do plunging? he wouldn't would he? it's not logical.

it was known that rdhull had retired emu and locked him a store cupboard for 10 years. i reckon emu escaped that night, maybe his beak had hacked down the lock like a file, and emu apoplectic with rage followed rdhull to the roof and hoyed him off. emu then calmly returned to the cupboard.

who else would do it? the only other people with grudges against rdhull were parkie, snoop ploppy plop and grotbags, and all three have watertight alibis. parkie was making the axa "free parker pen for enquiring" insurance advert, snoop was mekkin his pornos n grotbags has been vouched for by the camp crocodile. definitely emu.

to the dziewczyna i would ask what is your definition of success?

is it monetary success or artistic success? if you approach it from an aspect of artistic success this would give you licence to introduce your personal opinion, to discuss what you like about his music and how it affects you emotionally. this would make a more interesting presentation in my opinion. good luck.
