Practical Philosophy, Thursday

[endsthegame]

It was a wry-looking Ender who made it to the dorm lawn that morning. He was drinking a fair share of water, too.

"Unfortunately, I've been felled by something of a headache, so let's keep this short," he said. "We're now parked on a world where violence appears to be normal - a part of everyday life. It leaves me to wonder what it might mean to all of you. We come from such vastly different worlds, with such vastly different conceptions of what it means to be violent. Mine, for instance, kept such things rigidly controlled within our own borders - but we were willing to lash out with impunity and any perceived attackers from beyond. But because my people were no longer used to it, weren't numb to it, they had to work around... the consequences of making violent choices."

That was about as in-depth as he was getting about that, unless someone questioned it.

"What is violence to you?"

Life Soundtrack, Period 3 - Thursday

Today there was a movie that only had the slightest connection with the class topic. It was already playing so, sucks to everyone who wanted the emotional depth of Jack Black's performance.

There was also a note on the board that read:

Killin' space Australians! Best. Moon. Ever. Way better than that Neil Armstrong shit. Watch the movie, think about daddy issues for the weekend. Whatever.

And a little doodle of himself shooting a doodle that might have been Wolverine.

Yeah, you kids were learning great things here.

Fun with Magic | Friday, period 2

Class was inside today, and Bob was at the front of the classroom looking somewhat disgruntled.

"Harry's got a...thing." He waved dismissively. "So nothing new today. Here, have a movie. I understand the duel is quite something."



[Yeah, I still have no reliable internet. Hopefully tomorrow.]
