Whatever. I've been given detentions for stupider reasons than that. When I was 17, a teacher claimed that she found a "piece of rubbish" that had my name on it. Despite the fact that I never littered (and if I did, I wouldn't be writing my name on it) and demanded to know more about this piece of rubbish (my requests were declined), I was given an hour detention. For all I knew, she just wanted to give me a detention because she didn't like my face. But did I go running to Fox News with my story?
In the bit at the end with the arial shot of the kids are running away, I like to pretend that I'm soaring through the skies upon Falcor's back and they are my oppressors.
@hedwig Because Pavlov's dogs were conditioned to salivate to he sound of a bell after it was repeatedly paired with food.
I guess the perfect example of conditioning working on humans (even when we're aware of it) is that whenever you get home after a long day, you go straight from not needing to go to the toilet to positively busting to go because out bladders know that home = toilet.
Unconditioned stimulus = toilet. Conditioned stimulus = home that contains a toilet. Conditioned response = BUSTING to go toilet when you approach your home.
@clinton robert labombard "The mere idea that anyone is required to source every piece of information they communicate is ludicrous and you are full of crap."
Did I say that everyone had to reference every piece of information they communicate? No, but in a written assignment for an educational institution, they should reference all arguments they did not come up with independently.
You don't even have to directly quote someone without citing them for it to be plagiarism. Technically while it's more difficult to police, even using somebody else's ideas or argument without citing them is also plagiarism.
Realistically I think asking somebody for hints and ideas is acceptable, but asking someone to find the answer for you and then pretending that you came up with it on your own, at least by university standards is plagiarism.
Annie Wilkes from Misery by Stephen King is pretty loathsome. Looking back, most people (myself included) love to hate her and consider her a great villain, but I remember while I was actually reading the book, I really did hate her pretty intensely.
@ shadowfirebird - Being loved and perceiving love are not the same thing. Even if the child doesn't perceive love from their parents, it doesn't mean that their parent doesn't love them at that moment. Love also doesn't have to be expressed at the time to be present.

I hope she waited for it to cool down!

So cute!
Congrats on the weight loss!
That depends on whether you define love as a relationship or an emotion.
