[QUOTE="Fladian, post: 114511, member: 5833"] That's a shame. They are subjects I am willing to talk about after all. A part that didn't really get me thinking, but excellent to start off with. It is something people tend to think about when they are pushed on the facts, though I do not believe that every "girl" is "obsessed by their looks", nor that they are always very active in it. I do agree that a large amount does indeed what you say, but for those I tend to 'like', are not those who are so active in it. I've had a discussion about this with a friend of mine... about a year ago, or something. But as you asked, I will not start to talk about it. I'll tell you one thing. They strive to something. They need motivation to do something... as a matter of fact, everyone needs a spark of motivation. You can deny it all you want, but there is no person in this world that does not 'strive to do something', and use a 'motivation point'. Or so I call it. I know all too well what can happen when that 'motivation point' disappears, you'll crumble to dust. I didn't start studying all of a sudden because I wanted variation, no, I was extremely worried about my own future. Perfection, is one of them. An interesting subject, and kept me thinking for a short moment, though short it may be, it was intensive. It definitely is a subject I like to give more thought to, so I'll probably write it somewhere down and go and read it when I have some additional free time and nothing is coming up any time soon. In my opinion, the most interesting of the three. Because I am sure everyone agrees when I say this came to mind before. Everyone must have thought about this before, though you did go a little further than most people would've thought. Of course, it isn't anything bad to do it, but I just liked to point it out. Undead, I'll (translate and) quote: "Useless violence. Of course judges every human being with a healthy brain every possible form of useless violence. A lot of young people doesn't really understand anymore what 'dead' really is. They react on it with a laugh. It's just like 'Tom & Jerry' or all all computer games: 'they'll always stand up again' (litterally). When something is broken, you can fix it again.
