Re: 5 Random Qs: Right and Wrong

1. What's something your parents were wrong about?
-- "But you used to love school." The hell I did.

2. What's something your parents were right about?
-- "You need to learn how to keep your sleep schedule normal." Yar, I switch from sleeping during normal times to sleeping straight through the (blazing hot ) day way too much. I don't think it's good but I can't sleep until I'm tired and sometimes I'm just not tired at 11 PM even if I wake up at 6 AM.

3. What's something your teachers were wrong about?
-- "Writing this 5 page essay can be very fun if you just pretend it's a game!" NO.

4. What's something your teachers were right about?
-- "You're a good student but you just seem to lack motivation sometimes." *nod*

5. What's something everyone else seems wrong about but you're sure you're right about?
-- "Hey, this word/phrase/song/movie/book/video game/sign/piece of lint/etc. could suddenly be offensive to Random Overly Sensitive Jackoff Who Needs to Lighten Up or Become a Hermit! We need more barely offensive things to be censored for these nutcases and people who want to coddle and shelter their children! Make it happen, PC Thugs!" Perhaps I'm being harsh. In regards to kids, I really just never want to see another tear-filled "Maury, my 2 year old hits me really hard in my calf muscle, but if I tell him no, he'll hate me, what ever should I do?" show on TV. But it seems that ever since a certain really, really bad day 5 or so years ago, everyone became really offended by everything that wasn't offensive the year before and it bugs me a little... A lot...
