Comment on The effectiveness of self-imposed deadlines on procrastination by Nancy

Nancy — Fri, 16 Jul 2010 14:15:40 +0000

I like the idea about how procratination in itself is the reward. I guess that I had not really thought about it that way before but it does make sense. I have to admit that I have been guilty of putting off doing a paper or project until the last minute because I dreaded getting started. I felt guilty the whole time I was having fun doing something else, and the dreading getting started became worse. I need to change my way of thinking about getting started and not procrastinating.

Comment on Firstborns have higher IQs than their siblings by Myrna

I dis agree on the topic "Firstborns have higher IQs than their siblings" because in our case. We are only two in the family. I and my elder brother both studied in The King's Academy but I am the one who always excel in the class though he did also good job. I must say that it depends on the effort you put in order to learn.

Comment on Why beautiful people are more intelligent by Johnny12

I didn’t notice this correlation until I began working in new York and Washington dc. High paying front office and executive positions are generally filled by attractive people from top universities. The more menial jobs are filled by unattractive people from community colleges and state universities.

The attractive ivy league grads had successful fathers and attractive mothers. They also tended to be from more metropolitan parts of the country. There are definitely one off exceptions, but for the most part, the most attractive people in a population are way more attractive than the dumbest. This theory is easily proven by comparing residents on park avenue versus residents of the Bronx or a wall street investment bank versus employees at sanitation facility. The residents in my upper middle class neighborhood are more attractive than the residents of the lower class neighborhood where my office is. Clearly, natural assertive mate selection will place successful men with attractive women. This process has been happening for generations based on my experience working with the elites in the finance and mass media industries.

As long as we know how to use it in a good way, it will be good and can improve well-being.

Comment on Cutting in Line by Fred

Fred — Fri, 14 May 2010 02:54:30 +0000

There’s this kid at my school whom I see every day at the lunch line and he has this nasty, compulsive habit of line hopping. Today, he cut in front of me, and I let him slide until we reached the front of the lunch line, where I edged back in front of him. As he went on sputtering profanity, my face turned red and I walked away in silence feeling half-guilty and half-victorious.
I’d really like to know if this was a justified display of social behavior, or if it was overly assertive and a larger failure on my part for having not stopped him earlier. Or am I just thinking too much about cutting in general? Should I be more lax with cutters? And what should I do in a very likely future confrontation?

Yeah I agree with this article. Talking about someone else and how stupid or lazy they are really later places the gossiper into being gossiped.

Comment on Pop vs Soda vs… Coke? by James

Pop, soda, coke WHATS THE DIFFERENCE! Oh, there’s more fizz in soda than pop and coke, I measured it and everything, it’s true! That’s why soda is so much more better than pop. But pop has that distinct flavor thats not in coke or soda. BIG DEAL.

I would want a lover who loves and accepts Jesus as I do and is kind, respectful, and smart. Nothing else. On the other hand, I really don’t want a smoking,TV remote stealing wife that coughs nasty goo on my face.

Comment on Massive Multiplayer Online Games as “Third Places” by James

James — Sat, 08 May 2010 20:38:23 +0000

Video games for me were nothing but a stress giver. Every time I had lost a match with someone, I would go out of control. Yeah I sound like a retard in anger management classes but hey I just don’t like to lose.
