Math doesn't suck, you do.

Well that was quite a spirited discussion wasn't it?
And yes AceD, everyone that likes math much be a virgin and a loner and must not have any other interests. By the same logic, everyone that likes Anime must be a completely annoying fuck who's obsessed with Japanese culture and spends their time trying to convince people how much better Japan is better then their country.
See my point :)
And we learn math because it helps us think, logic is based off math, even if we didn't know it when we started doing it. Most intros to Philosophy have a large portion of logic, which is a sliver of discrete math. Same reason why they make you learn physics in most science programs is that it helps you learn how to model things better.
AceD:
Obviously, i was joking with that part....like i really think anybody who has an interest in X (X can be anything) is always going to be a sad loner. ::)
I thought the 8) might of gave it away, well guess not :P

Nay...logic existed way before math (not talking about logical symbols), and physics is basically the main branch of science, i.e. all other (real) scientific fields are founded from it.

math existed before human kind. . .even before logic. . .
in the words of my good ol' pal Galileo
"Mathematics is the alphabet with which God has written the universe"
say, a universe without humans, without anything, just being there. . .regardless of our existence, pi will be 3.14159. . .
C^2=A^2+B^2 in a right triangle will hold true
1+1 will still be 2. . .
and Math is the language of physics
physics is the language of chemistry
chemistry is the language of biology
biology is the most boring class you can take
everything else is not science and should be burned ;D

GoGeta you should have just linked this, but your point still stands.
