Conservation

While i just took a shower, i just remembered a conversation i had some time ago with peoples where it went along the lines like...

You know how energy is conserved?
You eat food, then you use the energy from the food you have just ate to do other things which inturn transforms the food energy you just had to something else, 'releasing' the energy outside you body, back to the earth, where the food you ate originally came from. Or you die, which your corpse lies as nutrients back into the soil where the plants absorb from then they do their shit then you eat them again.

For example, you see a fat person. Where does the fat of that person come from? Maybe the fat in the meals that the person eats? Then lets say the meal is pork or something, then the fat comes from the ... well fat of the porkpig. Which comes from the meals that it eats, and ultimately, the whole pig comes from its mother, which gets its energy to give birth to another piglet from the food that she eats.

All is cool, energy is a cycle and never ending, just continuously transforming from one form to another. Energy is conserved.

Let's say there is actually a value to the energy that exist on Earth, for the sake of argument, a value of 10000. This value of 10000 are the total energy on Earth, always at 10000, whether there is less nature or more population, it is a constant ratio of energy which is there for Earth to function. That means if a large portion of humans migrate to another planet or something, the humans take a portion of that energy with them, away from Earth. So then the constant of 10000 will decrease and Earth could not function as well as how it was supposed to.

Of course this is ignoring factors such as solar waves or gravity within the universe.

In the end, the Earth is just a part of the huge universe. If humans did indeed move to another planet, we are simply moving the energy from Earth to another planet, energy, as a whole, is still conserved within the universe. If Earth dies, that part of the energy will just be released back into the 'nature'.

If you didn't understand any of that, this macrocosm could be translated into a simple microcosm.

You are locked in a house, and you are unable to leave. Then this guy comes and ninja your fridge. You die.

What your mind leads to when you try to study...

Ahha! I just randomly thought of a perfect reason to counter when people say my eyes are small. (which they are)

Firstly, i'm asian...








Well technically, as long as my eyes open wide enough to allow full surface contact from the light to my pupils, i can see perfectly, which means theres no difference in one's eyesight whether being able to see the iris or not. People with bigger eyes also mean that their whole eyes have a higher exposing rate to air as opposed to those with small eyes, therefore your eyes will dry faster, leading to you blinking more to refresh your eyes which in the end, uses more of your energy.

That means people with big eyes are inefficient in energy consumption.

Which now makes perfect sense to me why asians have small eyes.

More Idiots

This is another post to further emphasise my view on idiotic fuckheads these days.
As many might know our school turned up on the news amazingly, and had generated a poll/opinion thingy.

I was just scrolling through the opinions and im pretty surprised how stupid people are:

"After-balls are a right of passage for years 12 and 13. By prohibiting them is just plain ridiculous ! I think it's especially insulting to those particular years considering that they are seniors and for some the ball marks perhaps one of the last events before they leave."

"Schools are not morally responsible for outside events organised just after theirs. Get real."

"10 years ago when I was a teen, the 'issue of the after ball' was argued. We always did it any way. Someone always drank too much, some girls lost their virginities and their tops, guys kissed girls, girls kissed guys, spew, stubble, bus, home, bed. It has always happened, it will always happen, teachers always spoil the fun secretly wishing there teenage years were so fun filled."

"This scenario has played out for years. I congratulate the parents who organised & had some boundaries in place for their teens.

I find it ironic that schools continue to deny any knowledge that after-parties are part & parcel of the night. From a parent perspective all they want is to know that their kids are at a structured event rather than an event organised by just the kids, which is inevitable regardless of how many threats are made in regards to consequences. "


Umm. No. Before anything else, you broke the law by providing students (and most probably underage) with alcohol. Secondly, you broke the rules when the school has clearly stated that you cannot attend/organise an afterball if you are attending the school ball itself, which is on a sheet signed by parents meaning you are abiding to their rules.

Where people with even the slightest of intelligence comments:

"The thing that baffles me is the maturity of the parents involved; to knowingly lie to the school, plan and organise the after-ball, and supply alcohol for the many kids who i am willing to bet, weren't of legal drinking age. Then to top it all off, approach the media and basically tell Rangitoto College 'Stuff you lot. We'll do it ourselves'."

"From what I have read the college said right from the outset what their position was so it shouldn't be a shock when they actually do what they say they will - and good on them for that."

"These parents obviously do not have any idea how irresponsible they have been. They have taught their children what? That a party isn't a party without alcohol and correct me if I'm wrong was there reference to some sort of scantily clad women at one afterball bash. I find it so sad that people have so little personality that they need increasing stimulation in order to get any enjoyment out of life. This is what is wrong with people nowadays. They are encouraged to seek out any way of getting exhilarated. "

"If you don't like the school policy then send your kid to another school.

The parent who organised the after ball was advised of the consequences and forced the school to ban next year's ball.
"


"Students and parents were warned and still chose to organise something that the school had repeatedly told them they would not stand for. At the end of the day it was a function held by and for Rangitoto College students and if something had gone wrong you can bet it would be the school that would have been blamed for not putting a stop to it. "

And then to end it with a few more clear minded beings:

"A school ball is a privilege and not a right. The formal outfits are about showcasing senior students as the nice young men and women many of them are turning into. School staff go along on their own time to assist and celebrate with their students.

Please don't kid yourself, the main purpose of an afterball, is for students to drink illegally, get drunk, turn up at school the next day moaning of hangovers all to get the approval of their peers.

And remember - afterballs are not just open to the students of the school. At Rangitoto College where there are around 600 students in a year group these numbers could easily be doubled by young people from outside the school - all being associated with the school name.

My advice to any parent who put their teen on the bus with an unknown destination to attend an afterball of illegal drinking, with many people even the school does not know - be grateful that your teen came home to you in one piece. This should not be seen as proof that afterballs are OK - it should be seen as proof of the randomness of pot luck. And ask yourself - if your teen did not come home, whose gate would you be breaking down to blame."


"The parent in the Herald who doesn't want to be named, shame on you and the others who organised that after school event.

It doesn't matter that it was held privately, it is still known as Rangitoto College after school party.

What do you teach your child.? If you don't get your way, throw a tantrum and do it anyway?

Is that your great parenting skills at play here?Or better still, when confronted with an authoritive rule, tell a lie and hope for the best tomorrow.?

Good on you Rangitoto College. You took a stance and you stuck with it.

Its a shame that the innocent ones will be punished for the actions of some mindless parents who happily endorse underage drinking."


"It's not ok for parents to encourage other people's children to drink alcohol, defy school rules and get drunk. As for the dimwit parent who's threatened to hold another after-ball function, that's parent's not fit to supervise any child. The fact is you're breaking the law. If you want your own kids to be around drinking alcohol, and disregarding school rules, leave other people's kids out of it."

Damn good thing we have more intelligent people than idiots.
