@ Smith: Most land masses don't float however, they exist.

Look something up before making yourself look like an idiot next time. I said the possibility of the entire world being submerged in water is not realistic, I didn't say that most of the world being submerged in water wouldn't happen. (All else held constant with global warming, which is simply retarded. Natural factors are NEVER constant)
@Supra: There is something that this generation doesn't realize, and they will learn it once they get a real job. There is no such thing as teaching something you do yourself. You could learn the same thing as I learned from MMO's in 4 days? No, that's ludicrous. What I've acquired is a mentality, a vision on how to view things, business ideals, business fundamentals, experience with customers, experience with mass psychology, years of experimentation in multiple microeconomies. You'd have to study for 4 days just to comprehend all the things I've learned from MMOs. I'm not saying that everyone uses MMOs to learn this, nor am I saying this is the most effective way. However, from my age ever since I was 12 years old, it's given me a drive to better myself and try to be the best. One that I lacked in school, because as all kids will agree, school is boring.
The end all is that teachers suck for the most part. Not all, but most of them. They don't teach you the fundamentals, they attempt to pound memorization into your head. It makes you book smart, but useless in real life. What's the point of having knowledge when you can't apply it? That is the very DEFINITION of booksmart. Book smart is synonymous in my books for useless. You know all this information, but don't know how to use it.
I won't argue that there was a third party in tutoring me in math on that game, however, that's what games are. They're entertainment mixed with social networking. Discarding that aspect of a game is like discarding teachers from schools. They come with the package. (Tutors also can't be paid for by a 15 year old kid. They're pricey and 90% of the time, useless)
P.P.S. Amazing starcraft 2 players are treated like rockstars in Korea. Are you saying that no one should be a rockstar? /trollface
