for some reason

it's very strange to learn about evolution from a textbook written by authors who, obviously, believe, as well they should, i suppose, what they're writing about


so basically, growing up, i guess, i've never heard about it from the people that are hardcore about it

i don't know what the fuck i'm trying to say here



it's just a strange thing, almost as if it's an entirely new subject, even though i've been tought evolution in biology, and even in science classes in middle schools


and i mean, hell, i even believe in it. i don't know why i do, but i do, probably something i should work on. so why does it weird me out?



very odd indeed

 

reading your anthro books?

 

You should try a drinking game or something of the sort... or a bong game. Every time you turn the page, take a shot, or hit a cig au vert.

 

im reading anthro books too! biological & cultural. i just had to finish all my work on bio anthro, my online class; boy did that suck goat turds. what book is it? wait 'til you get past evolution, then it's back to genes. joy huh? *sarcasm*

 

haha, yeah, can't wait for that

humankind emerging is my phys anthro book

if i had something to play a "bong game" with i would have

phys anthro in an hour in a half! then i'm coming back to take a nap cuz it seems i don't get enough sleep anymore

 

Well.. you can use anything. I've done it before.

 

my friend would do that when he took AP us hist

everytime he finished a chapter, he'd take a bong hit

i should have used that method when i took apush

i probably wouldn't have failed it =P


phys anthro is really strange for me, but i guess it's because i've come from public school, and you don't really learn about that much of evolution in public school, especially the way my prof teaches it. it's just strange, i guess, to hear someone actually denounce religion but at the same time say "evolution, mind you, is still only a theory." which...after that he said "and remember gravity's only a theory."



to which in my head i went..."isn't gravity a law?"


hmm

 

Hah... I'm glad I'm not that only one who thought of that.

 

Hyello.

 

bart!

glad to see you're still alive man

 

i got the same problem at school man... some things i learn am very skeptical about... just like in Bio it starts with atoms, tissues, organs, bla bla bla to biosphere... why is life limited to those standards? its contradicting the theory of evolution and the theory of Infinite...

Besides, the big bang? thats a load of bullocks... evolution, yea there is some soft of evolution. but im pretty sure its not just that. i go to school to swallow the basics... but theres a bunch of bullocks ... a BUNCH of bullocks that surrounds the basic in certain classes, especially in Sciences... science like religion or metaphysics... is just one way to perceive the universe... fondly believing in everything there is in science makes one as ignorant as a preaching catholic that goes to church every morning.

 

wait to eliminate everything phil

 

huh? lol

 

oh damn, i tought maybe we'd have the same book. mines Biological Anthropology The Natural History of Humankind. If ya need some help let me know seems like I might be just a little ahead of you as far as reading

 

I'd have to agree with Phil. We created science... and we can only go so far.

 

Well, we didn't really create science...the concept of it, maybe, but the laws of science have always been in existence and will be after we're gone. Of course, before we began to perceive them, you could technically say they didn't exist...but then when we die they won't either, because mankind won't be able to perceive it...

Sartre.

 

well all this aside, i dropped my physical anthropology class
switched time slots for precalculus, and now i'm taking cultural anthropology, yay!

this also means i no longer have to wake up early on tuesdays and thursdays, as my classes don't start until 2

although this did cause me to miss a quiz in precalculus today, and you can only really miss two. i planned on only missing one, that being when i won't be there for class when i go to grassroots. oh well, what can ya do?

 

So here is the deal, you are NOT stressed out because of environmental reasons like you can't handle life. You have a problem because one or both of your parents, grandparents, and so on back...........had a prob at your age. so don't feel guilty about being stressed into stupidity and making dumb ass statements online, I sure don't, lol.

google 'is stress inherited'

On the other hand, sons whose biologic fathers were alcoholics, were nine times more likely to be alcoholics. And daughters whose biologic mothers were alcoholic were three times more likely to become alcoholics -- even though the children knew nothing about their biologic parents!

This study on adopted children has been interpreted to show that alcoholism is an inherited disease. What it actually shows, however, is that Low Stress Tolerance is an inherited condition

Now let us review what happens to at least one in ten persons. They inherit a Low Stress Tolerance. They go into OVERSTRESS usually in the teenage years. They become depressed, withdrawn, do not seem to enjoy life, complain of aches and pains. People around them tell the parents, "don't worry, teenagers are always like this".
