madmandotcom Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 currently, all the science teachers at my school-even relievers are told before they go in-know me and absolutely point blank refuse to sell me chemichals such as kno3, sodium chloride and nitric acid-just to name a thew, even though they are all completely inflammable individually and it is driving them mad, i am ,moving schools half way through the year and please comment as to how long you think it will take me to drive the science teachers mad at my new school, i shall post results after i know that they all know me and are refusing to sell me chemicals.
Mumbles Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 I think you should stop being such a jackass and try to be on their good side. You may be surprised what they'd do if they had an ounce of trust in you.
NightHawkInLight Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 (edited) Agreed. Don't piss away your resources. Also...Why in the world would you be asking your teachers for sodium chloride...? Edited January 15, 2011 by NightHawkInLight

To be honest, I don't think anyone gives a fuck.
pyrokid Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 I had a science teacher that was just great. When I was just starting out, I was waiting for a scale to show up in the mail and he let me use a nice balance one morning in the school to weigh out some chems. He thought my hobby was pretty cool, I think. You may try not pestering your teachers like a squirrel for some chems.
Arthur Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 Refusing to supply chemicals is entirely reasonable! You clearly come over as incompetent to those you meet so firstly sit quietly and learn. Then learn what an intelligent question is, then try to ask intelligent questions! Remember that your chemistry teachers and technicians are completely wise to what you want to do -they are chemists too! Remember carefully that as the staff know what you are asking for and clearly don't trust you with it, they have the right to report you to the authorities (be that education specialists or counter terrorism specialists) If the "men in boots" come to your home and interview your parents then interview you the brown stuff could hit the fan for you
killforfood Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 I have a completely different take on your dilemma. So as the tax payers don't feel that they are wasting $10,000 per year on your education, I think you should skip chemistry for a couple of years and maybe concentrate on your ENGLISH!

Teachers are usually only forewarned if they have a mentally disabled student in their class inorder to be carefull with them grow up . and if you need chems buy them from a pyro/chem supplier like a normal person also on a side note notoriety is a bad thing can get you in lots of trouble if a kid brings an M-80 to school and blows up a rubbish bin you will be blamed even if you had nothing to do with it

killforfood Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 (edited) madmandotcom, I have to give you credit; you endured the tongue lashings and responded in less than an angry tone. I think that shows a higher level of maturity than the first post implies. If you were a Troll, you would have lashed back with a tirade full of vulgarities. I'm fairly new here but have found this forum to be friendly and helpful. If you were to re-phrase your first post, you would get nothing but helpful suggestion. Maybe you should have said I'm a student in New Zealand and often find it difficult to obtain chemicals from my Chemistry teachers. They know that I enjoy building fireworks and I think they're afraid to encourage my hobby. Then tell us what fireworks you like and the chemicals that you need to build them with and I'll bet this group of creative individuals would be more than willing to help you SAFELY pursue you hobby. Stick with the Chemistry, There's hope… Edited January 16, 2011 by killforfood

50AE Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 Expecting to buy chemicals in school.. Is this a joke? Teachers aren't sellers.
anapogeetoofar Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 If you were to walk into a gun shop and ask for a box of ammunition, would you expect to be able to purchase it? Even if you tell the cashier, "oh, its only for target shooting! I know how to handle a firearm!" How do you think that would work? Just because you are only buying it to do target shooting, doesn't change the fact that you are more than capable of killing yourself and others. What happens if you shoot yourself with that ammunition? Or you shoot someone else? Who would be blamed? Who would get sued? Who would be vilified by the media? The cashier, the gun store, even the gun itself, that's who. You wouldn't because you're "just a child". Honestly, I don't care if you kill yourself, Ill certainly feel bad for you, but it was your own damn fault. But I do care about your parents, other gun owners, and the poor souls who sold you the ammunition, who will receive the blame. That fact that you can't recognize that shows you are nowhere near mature enough to be involved in a hobby with the kind of potential repercussions that this one has. On that note, its only a matter of time before someone gets themselves killed using paper, like a paper cut to a major artery. Then following massive media attention and a public outcry about the dangers of paper, it will be banned. Then the politicians wont have anything to write their stupid laws on! I can see it now: bubble wrapped, reflective tape clad politicians, chiseling away on a foam tablet with their California approved safety hammer and chisel set:(WARNING! This tool is known by the state of California to hurt really, really bad if you hit your finger!) Checkmate, bureaucrats! -[End off topic rant]
dagabu Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 I can see it now: bubble wrapped, reflective tape clad politicians, chiseling away on a foam tablet with their California approved safety hammer and chisel set: Sorry, bubble wrap can cause asphyxiation... sigh.

KruseMissile Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 Wow, this topic is way out there lol. First thing, why would you look to a school teacher for supplies? Couldn't you just ask what company they order them from? Second, why do you want Nitric Acid?
madmandotcom Posted January 18, 2011 Author Posted January 18, 2011 (edited) nitric acid is actualy a very explosive chemichal, for obvious reasons i am not saying what you need to do to it on openline forum Edited January 18, 2011 by madmandotcom
