"What are you entirely devoted to or have the most faith in?"
I would have to say that I am most devoted to my church. Anyone who knows me, knows that I give up a lot of my time for it. In fact, most of you have probably heard me complain about getting up so early for seminary :) But, nevertheless, I believe in it, and so I'm willing to give up a lot. For those who don't know, I attend seminary, a church class for high schoolers, every morning at 6am, I go to church on Sunday for at least 3 hours, I have activities on Wednesday nights from 7-8:30 approximately, and then there are other various activities. That's a lot of time devoted, and I wouldn't do it if I didn't believe that what I was doing was right. I can only hope that everyone can find that in their life.
You should feel lucky Liz, I really don't have anything that I am that devoted to, unless you count read or books, I don't. I do have my faith, but I'm still trying to figure that one out. So I can't say much on total devotion, but you have my respect in that aspect. As the saying goes, that’s life.
P.S.- Re:Anthony Does an IQ define how smart you are? I think not. Like it was stated in the book, it's nearly useless once someone passes into the intelligence threshold. I don't think it even matters before you get into any kind of threshold. Every person is a genius at something, because you just simply cannot know everything. I don't see how IQ matters when you are faced with a task you know nothing about (Knowing how radiation works, for example, is useless when someone is asking you to fix a leaky faucet).
I'd have to disagree with you in some aspects. IQ does have some barring on how smart someone is. Yes it plays no role in street smarts and practical skills, but in school that is a whole different can of worms there. IQ does play role, but in only in certain settings. IQ does not affect if someone has the skills to survive in the real world, just what they will be doing in school. I’m smart so I get more advanced classes so it does have an effect there, but I have very little knowledge in terms of boyfriend and that kind of stuff, so me knowing how to calculate the area of a circle is no help. But our IQ do play a role in our lives, just in certain aspects.
No Katie, I've never wanted food because of an advertisement, but i can understand why people may want them. Commercials, billboards, and even transportation are always advertising for unhealthy food. Children are mostly the main targets, but adults are victims too. Mostly, the ads just make me sick to my stomach, and I wish for them to be taken out of society because they're poisoning the minds of young people. When children see a golden arch, they began crying and begging for McDonalds. It's quite sickening if you ask me.
Food from an advertisement, yum and ich! The food I see on T.V. does sometimes have an effect, depends on whether or not I’ve eaten yet. If I have, I will think oh that looks good, other times, Dinner time and I will go eat. Sadly if you could get rid of the commercials and ads, you would have no T.V. it’s a fact of our economy, ads pay for the stuff we see and watch. Although you have a point yes it is quite sickening, fast food companies need play fair, in terms of the law, they do. But we all know the truth, but there isn’t much we can do about it, so as the French say Such is life.
