<p>Heh, the walk home today was nothing but ice. You’d think the school could have salted the sidewalks a little, but no. Even all the lawns were nothing but ice. And of course, I chose today to go to school in these heels which have approximately negative friction…</p>
<p>Aww, no one’s around?</p>
<p>hello ! :P</p>
<p>Hey, what’s up?</p>
<p>Wow, where do you live, wink? And yeah, I’m weird and scary weather fascinates me. </p>
<p>so Super Tuesday was interesting…</p>
<p>Cafe, I love crazy winds and thunderstorms. It’s a good kind of scary.</p>
<p>Yeah… Still no real resolutions. Except for poor Ron Paul…</p>
<p>hey hey hey! didn’t have to work today, got online early! who’s up for some debate?</p>
<p>I’m all for it, but I’ve got dinner and dance later, so You will probably only get an hour of solid debate from me.</p>
<p>Wait, I lied! Dance is canceled because of the ice! Huzzah!</p>
<p>Edit two. I’ll be back in fifteen-twenty minutes, dinner is now. Pick out a topic and we’ll have at it!</p>
<p>I love thunderstorms too! Winds are not so good; my face freezes as I walk between schools for class…</p>
<p>cafe – I live in Michigan, between Detroit and Ann Arbor.</p>
<p>I’ll be around…I have a TON of homework to do (procrastination catches up with me yet again) but I’ll check up every few minutes…</p>
<p>Yeah I feel bad for Ron Paul, then again a guy at my school who is a die-hard Ron Paul fan has been really really annoying with his utter Ron Paul obsession (he painted his car with Ron Paul stuff, dressed up in a suit on super Tuesday, handing out flyers, and will not speak to anyone who has anything against Ron Paul) so that’s been kind of annoying…</p>
<p>A debate with other intelligent people would be nice – everyone at my school is ultraconservative, which is okay but they really don’t know what they’re talking about. So it gets a bit frustrating when talking to people who say “Well America’s got the best damn health care system in the world! Ah don’t care what no World Health Organization says!” Haha.</p>
<p>But I’m being uber-distracted from my AP Calculus (which I take online and is killing me slowly but surely) so I will have to miss out.</p>
<p>Ack, that goddamn Calculus!</p>
<p>yeah, i’ve a lot of hw too… statistics, english test tomorrow, physics, spanish… i’ll be here checkin’ up every coupla minutes. we discussed today in stats if all girls were paranoid, haha.</p>
<p>Elmo- yes. I’d say very much so.</p>
<p>Oh lol…</p>
<p>I’m amazed by you guys. I need to check this more often. </p>
<p>So if Clinton doesn’t win, I hope it’s Obama.
Wwwoooo…</p>
<p>And calculus is death all wrapped up in derivatives and integrals. Seriously. And my teacher is actually surprised when people drop her class. I mean, I like her, but I don’t think that she should be surprised if people don’t want to undergo the stress of calculus. </p>
<p>So I was just thinking about this in my biology class… People are all taught that a certain color was named RED, and so they call it red their whole lives. But what if people actually see different colors? What if what one person sees as “red” isn’t actually red for another person? But they all call it red.</p>
<p>I don’t know if I’m making sense at all.</p>
<p>It could be true, secshisuhee. But what about standard cultural interpretations of colors? White for purity, red for anger, etc.? If a lot of people saw them differently, they probably wouldn’t develop such standard notions of what colors ‘mean’?</p>
<p>And I know there are red-green color blind people. I meant excluding those people. </p>
<p>Do we really see exactly the same thing? Literally?</p>
<p>Sensation and perception are two separate processes. We all sense the world around us in the same way, because we have the same sensory organs with the same functions. However, because all of have different modes of thinking, different experiences, genetics, environments, backgrounds, etc., our patterns of perception are different. Two people could sense the same stimulus and interpret the sensation very differently.</p>
<p>EDIT: Eek! I sound all nerdy.</p>
<p>But as a culture. we perceive white as something symbolizing purity and cleanness. If other people perceived white the way I perceive brown or orange or green, wouldn’t that likely not occur?</p>
<p>literally, i’d say yes you’d see the same thing, because human retinas are not that different from each other unless you have a disorder. but you’d feel different about it than the next person
btw. finished physics hw, yeah!</p>
<p>My response was to secshisuhee, in the post right above me. I’m confused about your question, Earil. Could you please clarify?</p>
