when my side is losing, i usually end up voting up a few arguments. but i don't drastically vote up all of them.
i also usually do it when the debate is a serious one, and i've been aggressively participating and proving my point. and the other side is obviously(according to me) the wrong side.
but the only serious debates i've been participating in are dogs v/s cats, chicken or egg, and clever beggars.
kids are meant to be mischievous. that's the best part about being a kid. you get to be all that and your still adored.
but misbehavior of kids is usually linked to lac of discipline(like you said) or too much of it.
most kids only hear NO this and NO that. which is why they end up doing everything they would do, initially careful to make sure their parents are not around, and later not caring.
its kind of part of their job, to make sure no harm is done to anybody. and the only way they can assure it is by preventing anybody from walking down to find trouble.
i'm not saying you'd find trouble necessarily. but the chances are high. at 2 am in the night, not many people would be out to protect you if some random drunk guy points a knife at you and asks you to hand over your money.
so, in general, the police would obviously interfere when they see you walking down the street at 2 am. they wouldn't take you in, but they'd make sure to escort you back home and make sure to tell your parents of your nightly trips.
most cases i've seen, are primarily due to parenting. most parents want their kids to be extremely disciplined and well mannered. and that makes them seem un-childlike(?). also, when their parents are not around they do all the things they wouldn't do around their parents.
usually some kids are just fed up with their parents and therefore wreak havoc right in front of them.
although i don't think its just the Christians who aggressively support their God, but i do believe that they've got more support from the major world population. we do follow the years according to Christ's birth and death. and even though there are other calenders of other religions, the dates are preferably followed according to Christ's birth.
i don't know about America and Americans and their English, but I've come across many Indians who don't like speaking Hindi, and look down on people who do so.
also, people in their respective regional states can't or son't want to speak their own regional language.
some students prefer listening to music as they study, but while learning, i disagree that a student can listen to music and concentrate on chemical problems. it has to be either one of them.
i agree that music could be allowed in a few classes, maybe during gym, or art, but during classes that require full attention, i think music would only be a distraction.
i agree i haven't really looked up what i stated here. that came from whatever stories i'd seen and heard. but i did look it up right now, and i don't know to what extent it is correct, because i admit i didn't do any heavy research on it. but anyway, even though it could be wrong,
lots of things. it could be a selfless act, a random act of kindness, anything that could help somebody or something or make them feel good. most things that seem insignificant to one could actually be extremely important to another person.
maximum people who you meet online are not like it offline. not all, but maximum. and you may have met somebody who doesn't come under this category. but there's always more chance of things not working out later on.
most people also say a lot of things online that they wouldn't normally say as a person. and there can be one person controlling multiple accounts on some site too. and we know that
you need to travel for a couple of months. you have five books you wanna read while you travel.
i like seeing my suitcase or bag filled with books. besides, while traveling for a few months, most people tend to buy books on the go instead of taking them with.
i guess its far better to carry a kindle.
i could agree on this. kindle does take a lot less space than material books. but that is probably its only advantage. otherwise, books are more preferable.
its pretty old. but a favorite. ^_^
i'm not a vegan myself and i don't, in general, support it. this could be because i'm more vegetarian and milk and its products are a necessity in my diet. occasional meat doesn't provide me with the basic proteins that i need.
i don't mind people being vegan. its annoying when they want everybody to follow their business.
according to hindu scriptures, our soul is an eternal being. and it'll soon leave the body when it doesn't like living there.
hence it would be necessary for us to keep the body clean and healthy so as to give the soul a better place to live in (and therefore it stays there longer).
this may or may not be true. but it does make people keep themselves healthy so that their souls may rest in there bodies for a longer period of time.
which in general leads to healthier people and healthier states of mind.
its usually like that when things suddenly take pace and go a bit faster than they were before(a week or so) on CD.
people probably finally find something they can fight for and things go mean for a while then on..
and then everyone soon loses all this energy that they had and things get back to going slow.
its a whole cycle that keeps repeating itself over and over again.
the site could go viral and all, but i don't think i'd leave. i've come to like the closeness and tolerance amongst debaters around here.
i could go off for a while though not for ever.
besides the site does show symptoms of going viral occasionally and there's a hoard of debaters who come along, but they soon disperse in a month or two.
he's almost always been around. when i left, when i returned. he was there every single time. and trolling. clever trolling.
there was this one time though, when he hadn't been around for a while. maybe about a week or so. i don't remember. but that was definitely when he lost his place on the weekly leaderboard.
A lot of things are put straight on the internet, or on the computer's hard drive of whoever is creating it now a days.
okay, agreed my point was a bit incorrect initially. i should have written almost all.
I'll say it's a moot point because both could have taught me, but the internet got me there sooner.
and a lot of information on the internet can be incorrect or misleading because it does not go through editors as books do. people can upload what they think helps which may or may not be fully experimented upon.
That's why you narrow down your search. That's like saying the library can be misleading, what with all that information there.
books do not usually mislead. they might give you extra information, but they almost never give you wrong information.
also search engines work on the amount the word in an essay or article. not on the exact topic. so all the searches of 20 pages and everything do not always have to be the information you are looking for.
Just like one individual site.
which might just give out wrong information and false prediction. not all posts on the internet are checked.
