• A comment on Conversation: Fill in the Blank - If I knew I could not fail I would ___________ ?

  Dec 14 2011: I would travel. So i could discover the unknown, see the unseen, hear the unheard, touch the untouchable.
  Basically, I'd live my life in the fullest possible way.

• A comment on Conversation: What do you guys say about bullying?

  Jul 9 2011: Okay Matt, i will take your comment as a slap in the face; but, i certainly won't turn the other cheek!
  I don't really think it's fitting for a person to criticize my points, when they haven't even stated their own?
  It's like not voting, and then complaining about politics.

  Jun 16 2011: In my opinion, the concept of ''bullying'' is great.
  Our society has created an image of negativity. That's why the victim feels hurt, because they now think they have done something wrong compared to a stereotypical image of perfect.
  Let's be honest, there will always be someone above another person. If you tell everyone their equal, you'd be lying. Competition is part of human nature. When a stronger figure confronts someone weaker. The ''victim'' will be driven to do better in whatever their weak in. That's why when you look at actions from bullied children, majority always want to hurt the bully back in some way. They want to defeat the top.
  
  If you keep nurturing these children, they will grow weak.

  A comment on Conversation: Is the generation in education getting less intelligent than the ones before them or smarter?

  Jun 16 2011: Well, it depends on what type of intelligence your discussing. The current generation (mine), is being raised in a technology era. I think it is very ignorant for one to say the ability to form theories is lost. We may have Google in our belt of tools; but, that does not take away from the fact WE as people are creating. I am being raised in a society constructed of multi- taskers. Our curiosity for knowledge, has driven us to create the internet.
  Yes, maybe we don't look through tedious dictionaries, or write a letter anymore. But, can you honestly say that if we continued to follow the ways of our past generations we would be in the same place we are today?
  Look at our advances in the practice of medicine, or technology. It is just purely evolution.
