hands down musclebrains is the best writer here. i think he does it for a living. he's so good sometimes he almost changes your opinon on a subject or two. sometimes you think, i dont agree with this guy but damn he can write. he really knows how to put big words together in a coherent sentence structure.
buddy28 is a close second, he also has exceptional skills at putting ideas together.

He is a very talented writer but those "big words" actually take away from his writing. Impressive yes but anybody knows that only a small percentage know the meaning of some of his vernacular.
FWIW....I'm partial to casavant and sofageorge and MTS and ABL. AAP doesn't try to impress but his writing skills are excellent, same with Silent Method. Shoot....ole spongebob can write some good shit. Frackal and Warik also come to mind along with HanzNZ.
For whoever wants to help me out I'll post the paper up here:
A serf living between the 8th and 10th century in Medieval England would be under the control of a Noble Landowner. Serfs were bound to the land for life and are under strict control of the Lord, but they are not slaves. They were under strict control but they still had rights. Some of these rights were a right to protection from the landowners and a right to Common land that couldn’t be taken away from them. The land held by serfs was not separately worked on individually. The land reserved for the serfs was divided into separate strips, each owned by different serfs, but the field as a whole was harvested, plowed, weeded and planted as a group effort.
Serfs worked the land for a Noble and in return they are given land for producing for their own needs and are also provided with economic security. The land worked for the Nobles, is called the Demesne. This is the area of the Manor that is reserved for the Lords harvest, which is harvested by the serfs, that is used to provide for the lord’s personal needs, a surplus was often kept in case of famine.
Life for Serfs was hard because along with the obligations to work land for the lords, they worked for themselves after working the day for the lord. The different work that fell under these obligations to the lords consisted of two different types of work. This first one being “boon work” which was work required at specific times like harvest and planting times. The other type of work required was “week work”, which is work done on the lords own land. The ‘week work” would usually take three to four days a week and was only required to be done by one member of the family. The other three to four days they worked their own land. In return for being allowed to harvest on their own land they contribute some of the harvest to the Noble Landowners.
The long days of work done by the serfs, was always a grueling and long one. They worked everyday except Sundays, and worked from Sunrise till Sundown. Besides the work done on the lord’s land serfs were also expected to do repair work around the manor on things such as roads and bridges.
The housing that serfs lived in were cottages made of mud and straw. These cottages were small crowded 1-2 bedroom houses that lacked windows and had dirt floors. Furnishings in the household consisted mostly of a stove, a couple stools, a table, and bags of straw used for sleeping or a wooden couch with a straw mattress large enough for an entire family to sleep on. The cottages in these villages around the manor are usually filled with smoke because of the lacked of a chimney for proper ventilation.
Serf life was very self-sufficient in that everything consumed and all there needs were made by them by hand. They grew their own food, they brewed beer from there own grain, and fabric was spun and woven at home. They made their own cloths they made there own furniture and tools. Most of life during this time period involved the individual production of personal goods.
Serfs are very similar to slaves in that they have obligations towards a lord, which is much like the master. They put in grueling days to provide services and produce goods for someone else and they do it for no wage. They do it only for the protection they receive under staying in a lord’s Manor. While compared to today’s modern standards this life that the serfs live seems very cruel and harsh, but for the time it was a safe and secure way to live, avoiding the dangers of life outside of the manor system.

Your paper looks great so far. All you really need now is a closing parapraph. Try this one..
"In conclusion, I like big tits."
Run spellcheck and you should be good to go.

Good paper actually....A few things I would consider...If you notice, each paragraph begins with..."Serfs are...The long days of Serfs, Serfs were"...Etc.
You may wish to begin each paragraph a bit differently, we know by now, due to the opening paragraph, this paper is about Serfs.....Also, within the fist page, we pretty much know Serfs endured long days of work, with no money, done with the protection of the Lord, and his manor...Maybe touch on the manor system, and how the Serfs made a drastic impact on the day to day running with their labor.
Just my thoughts my man.....

By far the funniest fucker here!
If you define funny as participating in the most circle jerks and being on the business end of the most rusty trombones, then I agree wholeheartedly.

Great...I appreciate the adice bro. I'll try to touch it up some.
Maybe add in several things like...what they thought about most of the time (worries and such)
What kinda tools they used to farm with
what they harvested ect...
The paper is actually suppose to explain a typical day of a serf...does the paper do the job?
