Certain women should be treated like queens. The woman who becomes my wife will be treated as a queen, my mom is treated like a queen, the one I'm totally head over heels for will be treated as a queen. If a random girl who has big tits & a nice round ass decides she wants to rub up against my crotch, I'm not going to stop her & tell her she should behave like a princess. That's the parents' job. If she feels she needs to get laid, I'll lay her.

John Adams. Next?
Another thing about school and common sense is that school doesn't teach you how to think for yourself anymore. Everything they feed you is facts and formulas. The people that excel in school with straight A+s or whatever you other countries give/get are the people that reason and can think for themself. It's hard to be taught to think though.

One thing I've noticed about that topic. Some of the 'smartest' people in my school are conversationally handicapped. They're really not very smart or intelligent people, just talented regurguitators who study for hours. My whole study-style is to make sure everything makes sense for me, not just to memorize things. If things make sense then the neccessary study time is so much less. I still am forced to memorize a bunch of stuff. I mean how else would I know that the polarizability of some common atoms goes in this order: B,S>P,H>C,S,I>Br>N,Cl>O>F?
I think that we should be taught based on what we want to do. I don't have a stat, but I'd bet that everyone does best in the subject they like the most. Somewhat related to that is they way teachers teach. Not everyone learns the same way, so it's useless to teach everyone the same way and expect the same results. Some people are geniuses in their own right, but you'd never know it because they fail to succeed when taught like everyone

Not to mention every generation is perceived bad by the former.... thats mandatory. remember the 70s? the fact is we are just a different bad... but every generation is a different bad, and, as the cliche goes, the grass is always greener on the other side. It used to be that rock and roll was evil, and everyone went to church on sunday..... well guess what, its called evolution, things change; its not possible for every generation to be the same, and our perception of what is right is influenced by the former. Meaning it is only invetiable that each next generation will challenge that perception because each new generation is different. Not neccessarily bad different, nod neccessarily good different; just plain different.

1. there are more people, meaning higher probablity of someone doing something 'wrong' or 'immoral.'
2. there is more media coverage than ever before.
3. we are connected as a global communitly like never before.
If you think about it maybe its not the fact that we're bad like no other generation has been, but maybe that its given more coverage.

imo, there's nothing wrong with premarital sex, drinking, or doing drugs. Everything in moderation though.

I bet you guys could name multiple people in your school that are gay or bi. And lesbians(although we all like lesbians lol) think that if you don't have sex with guys, you don't risk pregnancy. But as far as I'm concerned, all homosexuality is wrong. It'd be a bitch to lose your girl because she decided she's lesbian. Plus gay sex spreads HIV like mad. The thing I'm scared of is that every generation sexual experimentation increases, and that maybe the next gen could be the worse. We've already had people that fucked rabbits and dogs and weird shit like that. [/b]

Sure, technology is great, but like any good thing, it is used negatively. As Jackal said, a typical teenager could go to google and find porn in 3 seconds.

Dude, did you decide to be straight? Or to be a guy? Don't post shit like that. Or at least think about what you're writing. Do you think it's like waking up one day and then you go: "What to do, what to do? Oh, I know. I'll be gay today!" Really. Homosexuality is wrong, but only if you consider love to be existent only for reproduction.
