My brain doesn't work... I'm just stuck with statistics. What the hack this studentized deleted residual is?

***

Fed up reading about employment of Hong Kong university graduates. So, Hong Kong university graduates don't have good handwriting. What a ridiculous quality to look for in our young people. What are the companies looking for calligraphers? What is the standard of good handwriting?

So, after years of criticisms against u. grads about lacking "international perspective," poor English, poor Chinese, poor Mandarin... Now, our young people are criticized for not writing well.

Next year probably some of those potential employers may criticize our young people for not sitting well, standing well, eating well, sleeping well... What about having sex well?

U. grads are required to take IELTS to prove their English abilities after years of criticisms. Someone probably should create a handwriting exam for our young people and employ the policy of "no pass, no graduation."

All these legitimate or illegitmate criticisms oftentimes remind me of "A Clockwork Orange."

Our social institutions can be outragious and very violent. In this case, I see violence against our young people.

Makes me feel like shooting those suckheads who make those stupid comments about u. grads. Why not, if so many people can believe a war against terrorism, killing Saddam Hussein is a victory...

A life can be ended even though no one has found any massive destructive weapon. Just happens that some people in our societies can create legitimate reasons to kill.

What is the evidence of poor language abilities, handwriting, and whatnot in our u. grads? Really wonder how to study violence against young people...
