  • Serious Discussion and Debate Re: Technology in the classroom.

    I have mixed feelings about this. Some of the classes at my school (none that I'm in) have given out iPads for the students to use. And I think that's ...

  • Serious Discussion and Debate Re: "Not bullying again."

    I, too, like your approach. One I would point out, though, is gas-lighting. The idea is that one emotionally manipulates someone else into a desired position or feeling based off ...

    I saw this thing on my Tumblr a little while ago and it makes me think it needs to be posted here. First panel: (Sex ed class is the setting) ...

  • Serious Discussion and Debate Re: Is the quality of media declining?

    From my own experiences, I would say both actually. I feel like the expectations for what constitutes a "good" movie are lowering because the people lower them. For example: I ...

  • Serious Discussion and Debate Re: Suicide: Vain or Not?

    I think we've made a fundamental error in calculation here. "The most loss" could be measured in death. You have nothing more to lose. You have literally nothing (again, to ...

    I went through the phase of fandom and then quickly ran away when it was pointed out to me that the "romantic" aspect was really not healthy, and I have ...

    I don't think "vain" is the right word, either, Draknghar. But I do say I have to agree with Snoink. I mean, I can understand coming from a point where ...
