Filling Time on a Boring Drive: Road Trip Games {Gadling}
Jul 5th 2007 3:26PM I played the cows game with my mom when I was little. She played it when she was little too. I've also played the game where you look for every letter of the alphabet by looking at signs and plates... J,Q, and X are the hardest usually to find... A couple of weeks ago when I was bored and on a road trip and we were in heavy traffic, I went on the look out for hot/fancy cars with my friends and then tried desperately to get good pictures of them... it actually got fun. I got a couple of corvettes and a viper.
Cho Seung-Hui's Plays {News Bloggers}
Apr 20th 2007 6:33PM I would like to point out that the person who commented first, Stacy, had a point when she said "It reads and sounds like something a 9th grader might write." She may not have meant it to sound insensitive. Perhaps his style of writing reveals someone about him such as he was in a mindset that was perhaps childlike and was unable to think rationally/logically to over come his pyschological problems. I think the comments following Stacy's are disgusting, because they are very insensitive and rude. Perhaps people would have accepted her observation if she had shown sympathy towards the victims or disgust towards Cho, but she did not explicitly do that and it is not necessarily right to beat her down for not doing so. Her observation is valid. Indeed, Cho was a very disturbed individual with obvious distaste for authority figures and peers. We can all make our own conclusions regarding Cho and each conclusion can be respectfully reviewed and constructively criticized. I feel a deep loss for the 32 who have died. They were a part of my extended community as a Virginian and I know some VT students. In this time of mourning, I wish people wouldn't tear at each other so viciously, because it is this type of harsh, unrelenting criticism that hurts people and can cause psychological disorders. Criticism is acceptable up to a point. Please remember that criticism done with spite and hate is damaging. We do not really know what started Cho on such a hateful, violent, and lonely path, but it must have been a very disturbing and traumatic event or a series of events that disrupted his mind in a very dramatic way.
God bless the families, friends, and students of Virginia Tech.
