• Commented on Remember More! Or will you? - Chapter 7
  Very interesting and thoughtful post! I have also always wondered about pills like these. I went to GNC once to get protein for lifting, and I wondered this same thing when I was buying protein. But when I asked the...
• Commented on Chp. 5 Consciousness
  I experience lucid dreaming quite often. Usually it is right when I am falling asleep or about to wake up from an alarm. It is the weirdest thing because you realize you are dreaming, and then you realize you realize,...
• Commented on Blog #1 Psychological Disorders- Have We Really Come All That Far?
  Those are some very good points made in your entry. I would have to agree with you for the most part, because people are discriminated and treated differently every single day, and it definitely is not right. I know people...
• Commented on You can train a fish?
  Haha this is crazy! What a cool subject, and a very cool video. If you can teach a fish to do that, there seem to be limitless possibilities. I wonder if a fish could do even larger, more advanced tasks?...
• Commented on Sorry, I don't speak English.
  You bring up many good points. I agree totally that learning multiple languages can help immensely in many areas of life. It opens up opportunities, gives you an edge up on jobs, gives you a more global perspective, and many...
• Commented on Alzheimer's a growing disease
  A horrible disease. That is amazing that that many people suffer from it...Mind blowing, a very bad kind of way. My grandma had this disease, so I know the effects. Very horrible, and one of the worst things that can...
• Commented on alzheimer's...it happens to the best of us
  I also had a grandma that had this disease, and in my opinion it is one of the worst diseases a person can get. Going to the hospital hoping my grandma would remember me was really hard, and it was...
• Commented on Erasing Memories: Is it possible?
  It is a very cool idea, and could definitely help some people immensely. Personally though, I would not want to do that to myself. No matter how bad a memory can be, you learn something from that situation and become...
• Commented on Who's your daddy?
  I completely agree! I could not imagine not having a father. My dad is my hero, and has had such a positive impact in my life that it would be hard to imagine me being the person I am today...
• Commented on Famous IQ's
  Very interesting post. I also found looking up IQs to be very interesting, but I do not agree your proposition that just because you have a high IQ that you should be leading a nation or have the tools necessary...
• Commented on Homosexuals; should they be allowed to donate blood?
  Very unjust! I cannot believe the blood banks actually do that. That especially makes no sense since the blood is screened beforehand. Not only that, I do not think anyone with the HIV virus would purposely go give blood, so...
• Commented on Genetics of Social Psychology
  I agree, it would be a total breech of a person's personal and private rights. I'm sure it will come to this some day, especially with how much we are advancing, but this is one thing that might not be...
• Commented on Personality tests galore
  I agree with you 100 percent. It seems ridiculous to me that a scientist can generalize so much, and make inferences off so little. I know sometimes a person or scientist has to do that, but in cases like the...
• Commented on Billy Madison
  Great example to use, and a great movie. You are spot on with the high extroversion and low conscientiousness, but I would argue that his conscientiousness might be the most unusual part of his personality. He really just does not...
• Commented on Final Blog Post: Remembering Psychology
  I'm glad you posted this, because as with the person above me, I forgot about this section. It will be good to know these facts before finals, and I'm sure they will help me. I don't know if I completely...
• Commented on Personality is forever...
  You are right, it was a very interesting section. Personality is so important to understand, and essential in everyday life. One thing that I found interesting about personality personally, is how much it depends on genetics. It is amazing that...
• Commented on A World of Grays
  I couldn't agree more, and a very interesting entry. That is one thing that is wrong with society today, that you have to take one side or another; that you have to fight about issues that are almost impossible to...
• Commented on Operant Conditioning to Make My Future Students Successful
  That is a very interesting thought and a good idea. I have never really thought of applying those kind of techniques to people in everyday life, but it is worth thinking about. I also agree with the comment above that...
• Commented on What I will remember not to forget
  I agree 100 percent. I wrote about this too, and I thought I would be the only one, but I'm glad someone else agrees! I use them in everyday life too, especially the correlation vs. causation principle. I never thought...
• Posted Alcohol vs. Food to Psy 1001 section 16 & 17 Spring 2012
  Today I saw a very interesting thing on the social networking site twitter. A person on it said that it's the most ridiculous thing that our society is so appalled that a minor would drink a beer, but do...
• Posted Basic Framework of Scientific Thinking to Psy 1001 section 16 & 17 Spring 2012
  I know everyone in the two sections will make fun of me for this, because it is by FAR the most boring section and chapter in the whole book, but the most influential section and the one that will...
• Posted Just a fad? to Psy 1001 section 16 & 17 Spring 2012
  Since the turn of the 21st century, there has emerged a new, exciting branch of psychology called "positive" psychology. The basis of this psychology is that focusing, honing, and changing a person's outlook on life, in a positive way,...
• Posted Is this the first time you've seen this? to Psy 1001 section 16 & 17 Spring 2012
  Have you ever had the experience that you have done something before or been to a certain place before? I have had this crazy experience before and i have never been able to explain it. After I read chapter five,...
• Commented on Little Meals, Big Boost?
  This diet sounds like the placebo effect to me. As we read in the first few chapters, something doesn't actually have to be legitimate for it to work for some people; because just thinking it makes your body react to...
• Commented on What Lead You to Read This?
  First off, I really like your title. It is a great attention getter and explains your post perfectly. But back to the actual debate, I like to think that everyone has a free will, but i have experienced that their...
• Posted First Blog: Chapter 10, Group B to Psy 1001 section 16 & 17 Spring 2012
  Chapter ten is about the argument of nature versus nurture in psychology. In this chapter they start out with the story of the Genian quadruplets. They were four identical quadruplets girls, and all suffered from schizophrenia. But what was really...
