methrowrockBecause I am incrementally more eloquent in 160 characters (and when exemplification is optional, which beggars the question how solid these claims really are. #technicalities I shall ignore because it is making the bracketed text unnecessarily long #typing after hexes is fun #i like to imitate my favourite tumblr reads #friday is P&R spammage night! #fun fun fun fun #my pitiful life as a fan with no self-control #you probably stopped reading two lines ago #you should have):
Self-interest isn't romantic; neither is it ideal. It's up to you, really. Are means justified by their ends, or are they ends in themselves?

You don't write arguments by extrapolating one concession to grotesque proportions. Absolutizing is just fear-mongering.
Correlation does not equate to causation. (Hehe a pompous charlatan's favourite)
"有時候, 我們想要的是什麼, 我們自己都不知道, 是想有個人可以抱一下? 還是真的想找個人來愛嗎? 這樣會對對方不公平嗎? 但是當所有人都是這樣, 就沒有了公平與不公平"
I both hate, and love, how stupid PS tutorials always make me feel. Best thing I heard today: "democracy is a religion". Interesting.
Specifiability versus generalisability.
"People become cowardly when they have somebody to protect." (MOON JAESHIN, THIS KIND OF GUY, WHERE TO FINDDD!?!!)
I am so much more active on livejournal when examinations are three days' away. #PROVEN FACT. (#using hexes wrongly again but i don't care-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh) Food for thought in the holidays, this is preparation. I really ought to starve myself of internets-time then. Goodbye. Parks and Recreation was wonderful as always. Tom Haverford was an outright A+. Leslie/Ben made my have cheekcramps from squealing and smiling too much What else is new? Oh right, THREE MORE DAYS' TO FIVE PAPERS, GODDAMNIT.
