Question of the Week #5

11 February 2009

Click the Title for the Y!A version. That's how it's gonna work.

This week's question, well, I don't know why I came up with it:

What would you do if there was blatant proof that your religious beliefs(or lack thereof) were wrong and that another's were right?

Basically if another religion/nonreligion were proved.

How hard would it be for you to adjust to that?

The difference between something that is good, and a fad

It seems as though many people are making the horrid mistake of confusing a fad, for something that is actually good. Take the song, Lollipop by Lil Wayne as an example. When you think about it, is it really good? The melody, the rhythm, the lyrics? Are they what your mother would tell you to listen to? My guess is, probably not. Nothing is true "good" anymore when you put all your thought into it. Another example, the popular teen fantasy, not-saga, Twilight. Once again, think about it, is a book about a cold, hard, sparkling monster, stalking a girl because she smells delicious really good? He tells her who to hang out with, what to do, who to talk to, and to lie to her guardian. Is this really good? The answer, according to me, is no. Twilight is not good, it is a fad. Like pet rocks and Atari, it has come and will soon leave. All the girls found caught in its path (including me, once upon a time) were captured by Edward, the main male character in this book. He was a kind, smart, good-looking, and most of all "perfect". What else could a girl want, right? Once again, the answer is wrong. Sure, it was nice to read about a man who has some nice qualities, but he is not real. He is simply a word on a page and that is not going to change soon. Robert Pattinson is no Edward either. He is simply an actor doing his job. This man has not only caused girls to hold ridiculous expectations for their boyfriends, but has also caused them to fall in "love" with a character in a fiction, fantasy novel, written by an author who thinks he is "perfect" herself. I do not mean to sound offensive to anyone, but make decisions based on what you like, NOT what others say "rocks". This is one of the reasons Jessica and I are alternative music lovers, we do not let others make our decisions for us, and we do not follow fads, we follow what we think is right.

Getting to the question of the week, If the current fad was to give yourself a boy-cut (if you are a girl), and get your ears pierced (if you are a guy), would you do it?

Question Of The Week-Edition #3

29 November 2008

I'm pretty sure I asked someone this before, but that person doesn't come on here and couldn't care less if I put it on here.
The question is really 2 questions, but whatever:
If you had the chance to change one thing you had done, would you? If you had to, what would it be?

Oxymoronic #2-Don't take yourself too seriously.

MOOD:Maybe there's not a point in this, I'm usually a mix of about a million moods at once, it's hard to narrow it down.
SONG:Headfirst Slide Into Cooperstown On A Bad Bet-Fall Out Boy(listen)


Sometimes I don't get people.
I mean, I know I am one, but I don't get myself either.
Know the feeling?
Anyways, what I wanted to say is that...well, I didn't really want to say anything, except that.
Yeah, sorry for the short column, but I felt I needed to write something.

Question Of The Week-Edition 2

19 November 2008

This week's question is a bit more serious. I've been wondering it to myself for a while now, and judging by some things that have happened over the last couple of days, and something my homeroom teacher told us, I think now would be an appropriate time to ask:

Does the saying "treat others the way you want to be treated" really work?

I'll put it into a scenario:

There is Person A and there is Person B.
Person A follows the "treat others the way you want to be treated" and therefore is nice to everyone.
Person B is cold and vicious. The reasons for this can be anything you want.

Now, say Person B goes up to Person A, and starts telling them off for no apparent reason, is Person A really supposed to be nice to Person B, thus wasting time and energy and essentially becoming a doormat?

What do you think? Also, I know that if EVERYONE followed this, it would be better, but if someone was depressed or felt worthless, or essentially felt they should be treated like dirt, what would happen?
