I was quite intrigued with conversational Terrorism, and how it's not only important to understand it but control it and stop it. I went down the list and read all the examples only to realize that I have terrorized so many individuals. I really think calling those argumentative conversation Terrorism is far from the accurate. The word is being thrown around like it's nothing and actually is loosing it meaning. Please, so people craft what they want to say to win an argument, big deal. I found myself learning a few that I didn't know so I can try them out, not to hurt or get gain, but to joke around with my friends. So basically from what I have read, I learned that not only am I a terrorist, but I was studying up on terrorism. Please, that's so stupid.

The other story about the school children in Phoenix Arizona was a little strange. I would not want my children, which I don't have, dinking around with that nonsense online game. To me that's a stupid waste of time, and money, not to mention I think it will bring them no benefits in the future and I see it as a hindrance to growth. I really liked the end of the article when little jimmy was squirmy cause he wanted to play more game! Talk about lame, you could say it's safe to say that style of learning will not be introduced nation wide.
