Online "love"
Alright, this is a topic that has come up in conversations I've had in the past. Recently, one of my online buddies told me that he had fallen in love with a girl that he knows strictly from online and letters. I've always questioned the validity of such relationships, as the couple doesn't actually have to have any physical interaction with each other. Then there's also the truth factor. How can you even know that your "boy/girlfriend" isn't just a nasty old man with some sick habits? I want to hear what you think, so comment away!

Advertising is EVIL
I recently did a persuasive essay for english on the fact that advertising has become too extreme. I found out a whole lot of information that I didn't know before. Thank goodness for Adbusters, they're a real eye-opener. Anyway, I found out about this advertising research company in San Fransisco called "Bright House Institute for Thought". They are using MRI (brain) scans to find out how people's brains react to different commercials. Using this technology, it has become possible to leave subliminal messages on people to make them buy things without them even knowing they've been brainwashed. Pretty crazy stuff.
