Woah Woah Woah! This is getting way outa hand. First of all...my post(s) are only trying to help. the longjevity (sp?) of them is to explain myself, give examples or give understanding to some people. As, whoever that was, your right, I cannot tell people what to post. But, what I was saying was that my long posts have a point to them and thus, they are supposed to be read as a whole (not by parts of breaking down.) I am not forcing people to read them...nor can I possibly stop them from just skimming it. But, if you can't/don't have time to sit down and read the whole thing in it's entirety (sp), then, so be it. I'm not gonna come and hunt you down and make you read it. As I said, I was writing it to help.

But, I can't stop others from doing what they feel they need or want to do. All I can say is that my hope is to be that if you choose to read it, I hope you get the whole effect of it. I'm not a professional writer, nor am I a professional psychologist, nor am I your "problem solver" But, as much as I don't like myself and think I can't do anything....I actually do think I am a pretty good writer and do give somewhat of good advice. And my advice and opionions are allowed to be disagreed with. Nobody is gonna agree on everything a person feels but thats what life is all about. Getting into debates and stuff and not end up in a fight/war.

I thought we were talking about me putting out so we could eat out, but I guess I was wrong.

Parsimony- criterion of a useful theory that states that when two theories are equal on other criteria the simpler one is preferred


also applies to literary works.

Tiffy darlin you put out anyway who are you trying to kid..

so ive got to write a research paper for english, 13-15 pages, anyone have any ideas.

[broadway_star_tomorrow]

Posted: 1/20/05 at 1:58am

musical- what are the criteria?

[camerangel]

Posted: 1/20/05 at 1:58am

umm well not really.. unless you want to tell me how to survive 8 f*cking weeks of Wizard of oz

Yes, BST- and in it's slightest form, simplicity might be best. But, who's to say that "cliff-noting" my 'novel' will have the same exact meaning and effect on people as reading the whole thing I wrote in it's entirety.

I'm not trying to start a fight here... in fact, what I was trying to do from my first post was to pacify the the problems and give some suggestions/advice.

NOW- was this post short enough for you?

[musicalmjk]

Posted: 1/20/05 at 2:01am

13-15 pages, 8-10 sources. any topic can be chosen.

[broadway_star_tomorrow]

Posted: 1/20/05 at 2:03am

raggy- you appaerently misunderstood. i wasn't saying that the shortened version of your posts were superior to yours...i was saying that your verbosity was not indicative of your skills as a writer.

and no, it wasn't short enough.

[camerangel]

Posted: 1/20/05 at 2:05am

BST~ I'm just wondering.. What is the purpose of repeating oneself multiple times within one paragraph? could that be classified as a stuttering problem? I didn't realize that one could stutter in a typing situation.. hoping you could enlighten me..

well, when a message is repeated, it is more persuasive up to a point. but once it passes that point, it boomerangs, becoming entirely ineffective. the number of times a message can be repeated prior to the boomerang effect varies.

apparently with raggy's messages, even one paragraph is too many.

**light bulb**

Indeed BST..

are you going down under..

Am I allowed to help or am I now the "evil one." To give you some suggestions, if you want.

Pick a topic very interesting...SEX! Well, as for me, my paper ended up being 10 pages too long and wasn't accepted but anyway.

I am going to write this in it's simpliest form as not to offend people of long posts.

Go to a drugstore, pick 2 products (1 for man 1 for women)- lets say, a condom and a pregnancy test. Go find a seat in the drugstore, or take a seat right in the aisle like I did and almost got arrested *(lol-long story)* and start writing whatever u see on the boxes. If you actually take a look at some of the boxes, you will find some interesting quotes and information on them. Then, go home- and explain exactly what u saw on each box and how you thought it represented the product. Tell why you choose those 2 products, how they relate to each other (if they do) and where they are located in the store and tell why u think so. You could go on and on...and then there are tons and tons of books, internet souces about that stuff- millions...I would have to go find my sociology of human sexuality but there are a ton of sites on there to go to.

Or- you could do something on the rights of gays/lesbians and why they are a big population to be 'picked on' and whose to determain whether marriage is right or wrong and why.

Or- you could do something like "What is sex" and how people of all ages percieve sex. I mean, just look at this generation...what does sex mean to u? Vaginal Penetration? Kissing? Anal sex? I was watching a documentary on teen sex and people said sex is anything from holding hands and beyond. Some people said that only vaginal penetration is sex and why they think it is such as like because in the old days...sex was for children only and in that, vaginal sex is the only way.

There are tons and tons of sources u can find on these topics.

I hope I helped and didn't piss anyone off by making it long.
