Okay, so I have this debate, and I have to agree with this statement in the debate:
Intelligence test scores should influence the resources and opportunities of an individual.
I've already come up with these reasons:
There's a kind of intelligence test that tells you where your most intelligence is utilized. Therefore, for example, if the test states that you have musical intelligence, you may want to go into music and should have more opportunities through music.
If you score lower on an IQ test or any kind of test, you should have more resources than someone who scored higher, because the person who scored higher can apply themselves more.
Intelligence tests create order by separating people with less intelligence than more intelligence so that those with less can learn better and those with more can be challenged.
I don't exactly agree with all those things, but do you have any more ideas? Thanks!

I am a teenager living my life day by day...but every day is the same. Life is a blur and I am confused as to where I stand. I am self-conscious about things as simple as my normal facial expressions. I may say "hi" to people or talk with others but they never seem that interested in me. I don`t really know who my friends are anymore. One group I am in but I don`t "fit" in, one group I want to be in but I barely know the kids. I have no fun. I can`t remember the last time I actually laughed with someone my own age. I am not depressed, but "unalive." My visible character is shy, sweet, nice, smart...blah blah blah. The person I really am is dynamic and almost totally opposite. My voice, my smile, the way I walk...none of these things portray my true identity. How can I be a part of the group of laughing girls during Math class? How can I share in the whispering of a secret crush at a slumber party Friday night? How can I become a "real" person, and not a facade?

Ok, i was at my little sisters halloween birthday party (which is on friday) and when i went into the garage the guy i like came up to me and asked to talk to me alone. I asked my parents if i could go outside for a moment and they said it was fine. When i walked out of the garage into the driveway it was raining. He looked into my eyes and leaned in to kiss me but i woke up b4 he kissed me.

Like why don't serial killers kill the detectives and cops, and do knowing how killers operate lessens a person's chance to get killed or is it unexpected luck of the draw in alot of cases. You can be walking down the street on your usual routine and someone come up behind you.

Pro-choice makes it sound that everyone has the choice on the life they created but rather it is only the choice of the woman who holds that creation in their body.

i've spent my whole life trying to be a people pleaser (example: i find what makes a friend/family member happy, and i try to be that for them so that they are happy around me). i know i need to learn to make myself happy, i just feel so guilty being happy knowing that the people i love the most aren't happy (my whole family is going through a hard time right now, and there is nothing i can do. i live on the other end of the country). i know in this situation, i am helpless to make them happy. thus, i have been forced to face my codependency issues. it is making me miserable that i can't cheer them up and have a happy conversation with them, and it is affecting my emotional stability. i'm sure my family blows off my problems (i have a lot of financial problems being an out of state student) like they are nothing compared to thier problems, but now i am left with nobody to talk to and help me sort through my problems.

and advice is greatly appreciated :o)

I posted this as "additional details" to an earlier question, but it bears mention on it's own & I modified it slightly:

(about Dworkin)

http://www.amptoons.com/blog/archives/2005/04/12/andrea-dworkin-1946-2005/

The link I posted was from a popular feminist blog. The posters there were speaking about her with respect and remembering her as an important feminist.

Is that how feminists "distance themselves" from her?

...Because a sexist bigot should have NO PART in a movement about "equality."

I don't care if she had a "few good points."

I'm sure Adolf Hitler had a "few good points" in his life, but that filth got the shunning he deserved from anyone with half a brain.

If feminists do not publicly denounce her and do so without a "yea, but she was sometimes right about..." then do not be surprised when people think feminism has gone astray from an egalitarian movement.

It usto to happen more when i live din this one house but happens very few times now. I thought it possibly was a ghost..spirit. just messing with me.

Well somtimes when I am sleeping I have a very Lucid type dream..well kind of dream. I am awake and in my bed and it feels so real..what happens is I CANT MOVE I am parolized and someone (cant see them) starts to move my arms aorund uncontrollably and then (cant really explain it too well) but I start to have breathing problems and I start to go into some kind of warp stage where im being pulled rapidly...and I can not really breath well at all and it is so horrible that in order for me to wake up I literally have to pop my jaw and shake it over and over again in order to wake up. its the weirdest thing...while all that there is massive pressure in my chest. and sometimes i see scary people. in order for me not to have that expirence over and over again I have to get up walk around have a dirnk of juice and then go back to sleep

We are post 3rd wave feminism aren't we. I have even seen that we are now in a post-feminist society, which would suggest that feminism is obsolete.

Where do you think we are at?

It seems to me almost everyone I meet is obsessed with money, and the desire to have more of it. At work, there are people who actually start at 3am and work to 8pm, we are only supposed to do 8 hrs a day, they end up working something like 70 hours a week, they are hungry for money.

I rarely do overtime, off course working in a place that has people who do 70 hours a week you soon get tared with the lazy brush, but its nothing to do with being lazy, I am happy and content with what I have in life,I don't need more money, as long as you have a roof over your head and food what more do you need? People make the wrong association in linking Money=Happiness when it doesn't, people usually say then "Well you must be loaded if money doesn't bother you" I'm far from it, I'm not on min wage but I'm not earing alot more, I've been on benefits and also happy.

Have I got the wrong attitude regarding money? Or should I be hungry for it?
