I totally agree with the whole stimuli thing I know for a fact that there are some smells that take me back and I feel like a kid again, or you hear that one song and bam you are back in the gym of your high school at a dance.Or as you said the anxiety you get thinking about work and that one boss that you don’t like dealing with, all great points.Marissa,
I agree 100 % with what you are saying there has to be a line on what can be done with children for research like you said as a reply in mine, toy testing see which ones this new generation like best, or even best foods but even with that you have to be careful because what if they or you don’t know about an allergy.Kim
I do agree with what you said about mine, I just want to clarify Medical research, I do completely agree with like the toy research and maybe like the best foods, but if it is going to cause any harm to the children then is is a big NO for me.Marissa
I totally agree with the obedience that is learned growing up it was kinda the same way in my house you did as you where told or you you got a butt spanking, but see it was a little different, my farther was an over the road truck driver and my mom was home with us but she had injured hand from an accident at work so she could not do the spanking she would leave that for dad when he got home, and oh there where days we feared him coming home, so in that we learned at a very young age to drop what ever you are doing when mom says to do something. and I do hate to say it, that there are still people today that treat their spouses like it the 50’s, even if they work just as hard as the man, My ex-wife was raised that way, I would constantly have to tell her it was not the 50’s and that she did not have to apologize that dinner was not ready when I got home, it got to the point that I had to make a schedule on who’s night was to cook.Kaley
I think you worded yours way better then I worded mine, I actually went back and read mine and was a bit alarmed. but yes when it comes to “research” and I am talking medical research to save there life then the parents must make that line very viable for that doctor and know when to say no. But if it is a fun “what cereal or toy” do kids like the most where there is no real harm beside getting a tummy-ache then once again that line does have to be there, but that is a bit easier to get on board with.Marissa , I get the not being able to sleep without noise, I grew up in a house with bikers, there was always going on at my house, we lived in a log cabin in the woods, my driveway was almost a mile long, so there were no neighbors to complain about the noise, and I can being out on the back porch and falling asleep on one of the benches outside listening to Hoo and howler and doing burn outs in the driveway. Or going to the bike rallies with loud music and engine rowing and just finding a place to lay down and sleep. I think that is also what helped me in the army being able to sleep anywhere with noise or now not being able to sleep without background noise
Strom I totally agree with you overall on the food culture thing, there are a lot of cultures where if you are invited to a cookout or a big dinner and you do not eat as much as they expect you to eat sometimes, they get offended, My ex-wife grandmother is Italian and she would always tell us to “mangia di più” it means eat more. It was the same way when i was out in Texas, any BBQ I was invited to if you don’t need to be rolled out to the car you did not eat a month. But the opposite goes for some other cultures leaving some food on the plate is considered polite.
Deb,
today after work I went and sat in the hot tub after work, I just busted out laughing because using my wrinkly ,pink meat computer I was remembering what we had talked bout on Thursday about this mushy melon we call a brain, and then began to run down the part of it and what I was using, you always have a way with words and a way to make people thing when using your words.I like how you referred to it as the Cinderella routine. Kinda makes me wonder if Walt Disney put that much thought into the Cinderella cartoon,how many broom sweeps she went in one direction. Or how to bite her tongue when the “Steps” were being mean. but sadly now I am going to be more focused on the number of sweeps and not how clean it gets, then curs myself out and do it over. great example !!
I totally agree, who’s to say that taking out all the known diseases won’t have another effect on something else, nature has a funny way of equaling things out, who’s to say that the generation of “engineered humans” as you say will even be able to have kids of there own, or have the ability to show emotions,or felling. It reminds me of the movie Equilibrium, a society of emotionless people, grant it, it was a pill they were given, but it was governed by the government.
crystal, I totally understand where you are on the “what would my child be like without the genetic disease” all we every want is for our children to be healthy and happy but sometimes they get dealt cards, and the only thing we can do as parents is help them when they struggle and be amazed when they thrive. You make a very valid point, yes believe there are people out there that would misuse this tech for personal gain.
Kaley, I do believe that most of us have come to the same understanding of why a child walks in a line, if you think about it starting at that young age kinda makes it easier as an adult to stand in line, I can honestly say that even in the military we did the the line thing especially in basic. And yes humanism is a great thing there is nothing looking for the good in everyone I tend to do the same thing,
Deb I have said it before, I love the way you see the world and that sharing your experiences whether they be good or bad you are an open book, has made this class a better learning experience for me, and honestly the world would be a better place with more DEBS like you. and I can see all the points you have made, YES even about the males
Kim I can agree whole hardheartedly with what you are saying, in the 15 years that I was in the military and out of Maine 31 of our 118 graduating class has overdosed and the remainder has had family members that has, now after returning home and working at the jail I would see 90% of the rest of them come through with either drug charges or DV charges and it seem that the only real free ones are the one that got out.
well I see that there are a few things we have in common, My family also sat down together every night and ate dinner, although we were not religious and did not pray it was our chance to see what was going on in everyone day, we did that even after I was married because we lived with my parents all the way up until I joined the army and moved away and I was also a parent at a young age, and for what is worth I am sorry that you had to go through what you did, because even though I had my parents to help it was still extremely hard,I could not imagine going though it with no real support and still coming out as strong as you did, Amazing there is an army saying that says” success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts”
