lol you're a prick, man. :P

Remembering kanji is different for everybody. Some just "get" it, others need massive amounts of mnemonics. Start out with flashcards and see if memorization works for you. It depends on how old you are; if you're still just emerging into your tween years, you can probably still do it. However, adults are taught to think logically and rote memorization isn't always going to accomplish anything.

One good way is to study a kanji, learn its roots and meanings, as well as all the kunyomi and onyomi, and then write it in the correct stroke order 100 times. Then go to the next one.

Memorize them. Don't complain.

This is the only correct answer possible. There are no tricks to learning kanji. Japanese school kids spend like 7 years learning 2000.

You know you were thinking the same thing.

If you're not using proper punctuation (or in this case, any at all) its pretty hard to take her argument seriously.

Komitsuki has it spot on. Its just like any other form of studying.

I was thinking it but my buddy alanX just went ahead and said it XD

Yeah... there isn't much else than just memorizing. The things I mentioned are methods to HELP memorization, but there's no way around it. KyleGoetz is exactly right; those kids spend most of their childhood learning more than 2,000 kanji, and even full-grown adults have a hard time with it.

I just associate the kanji in some way that reminds me of something else.

Easy :D
