Shiny Gligar Owwin -Dessynea- Skaeryll -Dessynea- Yeah basically. And I called Zach and ranted for a good ten minutes as soon as I walked out of the room. Zach asked why my teacher would do that and my answer is that my teacher is an a**.
How does s/he have a job teaching?Perhaps it was staged? It is philosophy right? Maybe it was a way to look at how some of the students acted?
Yeah, I'm thinking it was more about what Owwin said. I bet anything, tomorrow, you guys will look at how some people will easily go with instructions to ridicule people they don't know.
Why didn't any of them question what they were doing? Why did (it seems) so many of them enjoy mocking a guest speaker? Why didn't the people, (like you) say anything during the class or ask how the hell it was supposed to help?
Pretty sure this exorcise was a trick.
If it isn't, make it one tomorrow. Ask her/him how that contributed to learning about philosophy. Just, ask questions about it, you know?
People enjoyed mocking him because A) They are spoiled rich kids, and B) Because it made them feel superior and like they were making our teacher proud because he told us to question him.
I didn't say anything because out of 60 kid and 10 adults, I wasn't sure if I was the only person feeling this way. And I don't want to be mocked for the rest of the semester.
Having him come in does make sense if you knew what we have been discussing during the class.
I am a psychology major you know, I had thought about this, and this wasn't just an exercise.

Your teacher seems like an ignorant ********. "I don't believe in what this guy has to say, so for the next class, we're just going to make fun of him."
If it didn't serve to make a damn point, what the ******** was the purpose? For lulz?

The only reason I believe in a soul or afterlife, or reincarnation or some s**t like that is because of one of the laws of thermodynamics:
"Energy cannot be created nor destroyed."

Shiny Gligar -Dessynea- Shiny Gligar Owwin -Dessynea- I don't know, though really only myself and maybe one or two other kids seemed to have a problem with what was happening. Everyone else was having a great time. My teacher is well-liked. Perhaps it was staged? It is philosophy right? Maybe it was a way to look at how some of the students acted?

I really do hate this guy, he is the primary adviser for the Philosophy Department and if you aren't a philosophy major then you aren't even worth talking to. He doesn't return our e-mails, and if someone who isn't one of his majors tries to talk to him after class he ignores them unless they stand there for ten minutes.

I like that. It's like, a scientific approach to the idea.
It also makes sense.

Quote: Dr. Schambaugh, of the University of Oklahoma School of Chemical Engineering, Final Exam question for May of 1997. Dr. Schambaugh is known for asking questions such as, "why do airplanes fly?" on his final exams. His one and only final exam question in May 1997 for his Momentum, Heat and Mass Transfer II class was: "Is hell exothermic or endothermic? Support your answer with proof." Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law or some variant. One student, however, wrote the following: "First, We postulate that if souls exist, then they must have some mass. If they do, then a mole of souls can also have a mass. So, at what rate are souls moving into hell and at what rate are souls leaving? I think we can safely assume that once a soul gets to hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for souls entering hell, let's look at the different religions that exist in the world today. Some of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, then you will go to hell. Since there are more than one of these religions and people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all people and souls go to hell. With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of change in volume in hell. Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in hell to stay the same, the ratio of the mass of souls and volume needs to stay constant. Two options exist: 1. If hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter hell, then the temperature and pressure in hell will increase until all hell breaks loose. 2. If hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until hell freezes over. So which is it? If we accept the quote given to me by Theresa Manyan during Freshman year, "that it will be a cold night in hell before I sleep with you" and take into account the fact that I still have NOT succeeded in having sexual relations with her, then Option 2 cannot be true...Thus, hell is exothermic."
