Okay. If the world were to end tomorrow, I would react depending on HOW it would end.

Once again... What?
I'm saying that if we were all to die painful deaths tomorrow, I would probably be very frightened and scream and run around in circles.
But if everything just erased tomorrow, then I would go around fulfilling my past hopes, since this would be my last opportunity.
Now tell me. What does this have to do with Darwin?

I think MOST people at least would have a huge breakdown... worrying about the things they wanted to do and never got to do. Even if you try to say a goodbye to everything, you'll be saddened by the reminiscing, and stressed from wondering if there's anything you forgot. Zach, you will pay DEARLY for that "boys are better" comment |

Ohhhh yeah, very interesting. I hope to remember most of the things he said so I can tell my kids stories... One of his favorite quotes (that he greatly enforced) was: "Three things you must never do. NEVER get married. NEVER have children. and NEVER, EVER, WHATEVER YOU DO... NEVER become a teacher." He meant it too Lemme see... yep, he was a Darwin theorist |

Do you know if he was married? meh..
I think I'll start to live by that quote... it would be nicer without having a bankrupter.

Yep, he was married.
Yep, he had kids.
Yep, he was a teacher.
Yep, he complained and griped about all three of these things almost ceaselessly. I feel so sorry for his wife and kids...
*confused* bankrupter?

This may just be our family, but my mom has a habit of buying a lot and a lot of stuff. We have a whole room dedicated to everything she has bought- from priceless noritake and china plates to large bowels that hold fake plastic trees. So we kid about her being the family bankrupter.

Hehe, that's funny... I hope she doesn't mind being called that, though... Since we're on the subject of my history teacher, he also told this advice to the boys in our class: "I've found out the secret to making a woman love you. Promise her a diamond ring, the most beautiful and expensive ring imaginable. She'll love you and fawn all over you for it. But listen, you never do have to buy her that ring. The ring could never live up to her fantasy, and the longer you make her think that you're buying it, the longer the goodness will last." |

Well, let's see... he was Greek, and had some traditional views from that standpoint. He made the argument that parents would want boys to be born instead of girls... he never really came up with a hard and fast explination for that, though. He also said that if a parent had two children, a boy and a girl, and they were both drowning and the parent could only save one... they'd automatically save the boy. My class was mostly made up of guys, so of course no one (except me) protested. He'd spend fifteen minutes feuling their fantasies by describing in detail how the Egyptian pharoah had women row his barges, dressed only in fishnet. I turned red, from blushing or from anger I don't know, and told him to quit it. You think he did? Nope. Oh... and I remember him saying that women were all evil. He used various places from history to support this theory. When we were learning about the Hebrews, he pointed out that since Eve (from the Bible) gave Adam the fruit from the forbidden tree, she was evil. I can't remember most of the other instances, except when he'd complain about his wife so often. I know I'm talking a lot about my teacher, but he's really opened my mind to new things. Because I challenged his thoughts and ideas, I realized that teachers don't have to be the kind of people to shove facts into you and have you repeat them. You're right, he's the kind of person who might have been a complete failure in life... hence the "never become a teacher" part . So yeah. I'll shut up now P.S. I like the Bradbury poem (: |
