http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-evaluation_maintenance_theory This graph illustrates the basic principles of Tesser's (1988) self-evaluatory maintenance model of behavior. Relevance determines whether reflection or comparison will occur. When relevance is low (the factor does not affect self-definition) as the other’s performance increases, so does self-evaluation, allowing that person to share in the celebration of the other person (reflection). When relevance is high (the factor is important to self-definition also) as the other’s performance increases, self-evaluation decreases because that person is being compared to the other person (comparison). If relevance is high, then one will engage in comparison, but if relevance is low, one will engage in reflection.

With or without religion, good people can behave well and bad people can do evil; but for good people to do evil—that takes religion. -Steven Wienberg Understand the difference between atheism and agnosticism . An atheist does not believe that a god/gods do exist. Most atheists observe that there is no proof that a god/gods exist. Because there is no verifiable evidence that a god/gods exist, they do not incorporate a god/gods into their decision making. Agnostics do not believe it is possible to know of the existence of a god or gods. You do not have to be anti-religion. Most atheists, however, do disapprove of organized religion as well as the doctrine of faith as a virtue. There are others who still attend religious services for their own reasons, such as an agreement with some of the moral tenets, membership in a community, or even just a fondness for the music. You do not have to write off the  possibility  of unverified or unverifiable phenomena. You can acknow...

So today, a security guard came and got me out of my 2nd hour class and took me to "the lady dean" (as I call her) Mrs. Smiegelski's office. Apparently, one of my teachers said that I had "an odor of alcohol" about me, so Mrs. S basically started asking me if I was drunk. Um, last time I checked, Apple Cinnamon Chai tea doesn't smell alcoholic.. what so ever. Also, as I sit in a small, enclosed office with and right next to you, don't you think you would be able to tell if I smelled like alcohol? Not only were they randomly questioning me about my (non-existent) alcohol use at not even 10:00 in the morning, but then they fucking breathalyzed me. I obviously blew 0.0, because I DON'T FUCKING DRINK, much less before/at school. When they finally realized that I was 100% sober, as they never should have questioned in the first place, they said "well now we know what kind of person you are. you're honest and you're actually not into that kin...

I don't fucking sign onto Facebook to see a bunch of babies being run over, animals being punched, a picture of a person who shaved their head being used for sympathy, or some highly disturbing shit. Liking a fucking Facebook photo for some like-whore Facebook page isn't going to prove you're against animal abuse and what not, and your like sure as hell isn't going to cure some kids cancer, no matter how much "1 like = $1" they post all over the place. Call me heartless or whatever the hell you want, but there's actually shit you can do to help with shit like that. Not liking a fucking photo and blowing up peoples newsfeeds with that shit. When you're ordering pizza for you and your brother and the guy on the phone has a thick Indian accent, and you suddenly hear two women screaming in the background. ok. I see all these girls, even some guys with super long hair, and I'm just sitting here petting my hair like, "one day you'll be just...
