There's no such thing as a housing crisis. It's just another manufactured crisis by lying Democrat scumbags. Maybe we can keep this fucking shit off of hacker news?!?!
My pre-calc teacher would regularly use smiley faces and christmas trees in place of common symbols. After a while you start to start to see past the funny symbols and look at it as pure symbol manipulation. Very interesting approach, and I went on to get (literally) a 100 in calc 3--with the curve ;)
