Quote on shannon richardson's reflection of "Guns, Germs, and Steel" by Jared Diamond

    "When arguing a point you need to be able to back yourself up with sound, logical, and solid evidence. If you don't use sound evidence people won't believe you and your point will not be heard and ignored"

i think that this quote from shannon's blog is totally legit. This brings us back to so many debates in classes, without the solid evidence needed accepting the concept of something maybe extremely difficult. In court usually if a lawyer doesn't have evidence of innocence with regards to their client then most likely they would lose the case. With parents on the other hand you prove them wrong and they are still right in their parental head mindset. What shannon said is a good way to think when defending yourself in a misunderstanding.

Bullying is for SORE LOSERS!!

8/19/10, kathy ,

I used to have a best friend and we’d hang out with this group of girls with really nasty personalities and it made me sad so usually I would intervene in their bullying. I was like a fence hopper; I wasn’t sure what side to be on. My best friend however blended right in with them, leaving me alone to stand out. Soon enough I had become their target.

I could have immediately left their little group but I was scared that I’d be more awkward with everyone else because at the time I only had one friend, but soon I realized that she wasn’t my true friend and I stopped hanging out with her and the clan of dull minded girls. Instead I made friends with really smart honors kids. They were beneficial to me because they helped me with my work, and in return I helped them with their language arts and social studies work.

I think people bully for two major reasons, insecurity and being a victim of bullying by someone close to them. They feel like they have to take down a person who feels great or has a good time because “misery loves company”. They have to make themselves seem superior over others so that they can make others feel like they have to be nice and look up to them, wanting to put others don’t for their own self satisfaction.

obliteration is deserved, BUT ....CHANGE is way better!!
