feh. you know, i could just write feh and leave it at that...

in fact, i will












okay, not really. but shut up anyway

firdays english paper sparked off quite a bit of discussion.. everyone seems to think that the human race is a slave to technology, or as the questions put it "personal stereos, computers and mobile phones" i disagree. some people have also said on their blogs that their blogs are proof of this. first of all... um.. how? their existance proves that people are bored and entertain themselves using technology because it's there. it doesn't control our lives.

the other essay question asked why we should hope for the future, and most people don't seem to think we should. and i thought I was a pessimist... god.. without hope no one would have any motivation to do anything. without hope, people would just give up and DIE for gods sake.
i was also annoyed by some other things too. some people, and i'm not going to mention any names, presume too much and also think they know more than they do.

on a final note, i was also annoyed at the amount of people who i've heard talking about burning their copies of empire of the sun, or claiming to have done so already. this quote *I* have taken from mrs venning, i have no idea who it's originally from: "Those who start by burning books, will finish by burning people" thats not the only reason i disagree with it, and people may be burning their books for different reasons, but books are part of what civilisation IS. destroying them... destroying any book.. well... it just seems wrong to me.
