What do you assign to Mordor? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I send the inability to hold a standard to Mordor. We are adults. We sign on the dotted line going in debt for the rest of our lives to go to university. We are responsible for our actions. All this they drill into our heads, but as soon as our grades slip, even in just one class, they send a report of it to our parents? Way to treat us like adults responsible for our own lives.

Actually why not just send in universities? We pay them stack loads of money for our education and yet they still don't seem to get it right! You get lecturers that drone on in a very soporific tone and you end up falling asleep... then you get the ones that just make their pHD students do all the work in Labs and exercise classes while they sit on their arse and check their e-mail. Oh and then there's allways those modules which they conveniently forgot to tell you were compulsory when you signed up... The list goes on and on....

Actually can we send in bad housemates too? The ones that live directly below your room and stay up all night smoking (not tobacco either) and playing loud drum and base music at four in the morning when you have a lecture at nine... the ones that use all your kitchen stuff and then don't wash it up... the ones that never answer the front door even though you have to walk down more flights of stairs and it's always for them anyway... the ones that spill guiness on your satin dressing gown and eat the last chocolate biscuit... I think they might get along great with all the orcs seeing as their behaviour is so similar...

It does not seem like a great idear.

I think you should assign the education system of whatever country you live in to Modor. Universities is not that bad in it self, but I might be influenced by the fact that the danish univerities are more or less free. . .

I am now immensely grateful I chose not to study in the US.

I would like to send all students in my year who are smarter than me to Mordor, especially the ones gloating over it. Seriously, it's bad for both my ego and health and certainly not natural.

And bowling. I really don't understand why everyone has to go bowling all of a sudden.

Spelling goes to Mordor as well, especially spelling on the Downs. Typically, I'm a good speller, but when it comes to spelling things like "Cailin" I have a hellish time for some reason.

NOOO!! Don't send bowling! Send rather the people whom you invite yet who don't show up when you invite them weeks in advance.

Completely agreed. I love bowling. I'm in a bowling league. I say we send the pins and the machines to Mordor. Well, maybe the pins can stay, but the machines must go!!
