pursuit of happiness

so, in what weve seen of the movie so far, i think that one of the most thought provoking ideas, was the comment about Jefferson. i honestly believe that this one thought , the PURSUIT of happiness, could have even been a major reason, not only, for the creation of the declaration, but also for the war, and most of the revolutionary movements leading up to it, and following it.

one of the most annoying things about this school, is how few people are willing to support the Boy Scouts. Boy Scouts is a "youth run" organization. This means that the boys say what they want to do and then find a way to go do it. I have tried to recruit people in the past, and for the most part, the responses I have gotten have been mean at best. the worst, and apparently most common,  has involved the adults and the youths and illegal activities. I honestly dare those of you who are of this opinion to find even one example of this. however, given the lengths that the BSA goes to in order to prevent this, I highly doubt that there's even one. Another popular response was that "all of the fun parts I could just do here at home." While I am willing to accept this response, it's far from true. The more obvious activities (Camping, guns, etc) can be done at home, its not likely that you can go to Yellowstone, or other such places, at your home. Boy Scouts is an organization that makes leaders. In order to obtain Eagle, you have to have been in several leadership positions. And yes, getting to Eagle IS a good thing. if two equally qualified people apply for a job, and one is an Eagle Scout, then the Eagle Scout will get it every time. In the army, if your an Eagle, then the second you get out of boot camp, you will get a promotion, and a pay raise. so, yes, being an Eagle Scout IS a good thing. so is being a Boy Scout.

SPEECHS ARE EVIL! >:-)

I have never liked speeches. I understand that its required and all, but they still suck. What makes them so bad is that , for most classes, not only do you have to give it, but after that, you also have to show all your research, and your work cited, etc. and i am personally too lazy to do most of that. so yes, speeches are evil.

So, I keep finding my self using all this stuff in my every day life. mostly the parts about perception. and the funny thing is I am using these to help freinds more than to my own benifit.

so, no leadership today. :( sadness.
but anyway, I was thinking we should do those journals on here and pretty much go paperless. it would not only be easier, but also more efficient.

so during class today we were going over the personality types, and I got to thinking, the same principle inflouences oure actual thought processes, meaning that, for example, if someone with a red personalitywere to be told that "there's a 50% chance that life is a computer program", they would laugh thinking that it was imposible. However someone with a white mind would hear the same statement, and would come to the conclusion that, the only way to tell is to get out of the program, but if it werent a program, you wouldnt be able to get out, unless it were programed to mimic reality down to the last blade of grass. therefore the logical thinker would conclude that there was no way to tell and thus believe this to be a parradox theory. a yellow mind on the other hand probably wouldnt care eather way.
