I did it. All 7 patties.



So I woke up this morning at 6am because I was going to take the SAT for the second time today. TBH I hadn't prepared that well and I was a little nervous going in. My mom decided to be nice and drive me to school so I ended up getting there like 45 minutes early. I sat down, sharpened my #2 pencils and once everybody had arrived, started the test. To my surprise I found it very easy. Everybody else was like "omg the math was so hard" or "omg the critical reading passage didn't make sense" but I finished with enough time to check every single answer for all 10 sections. I'm a little worried because every time I think a test is really easy I always ended up failing it... Since we had just spent like 4 hours doing an exam, I, along with 3 of my friends, decided to hit Shibuya and try the windows 7 burger. One of my buddies dropped out because he had a photo shoot (and models can't afford to eat this kind of food) to go to. And then there were 3. Another friend pussied out and just ordered a normal whopper. So one of my friends and I coughed up the 1450 yen for the burger and a drink and took on the challenge. The first thing that struck me about the burger was its size. Obviously, the thing was a monster. And it weighed a ton. I can't believe all that weight is in my stomach right now... Eating it was horrible. First of all, the 7 patties were really dry and tasteless processed beef. Second, there wasn't enough sauce or toppings. It was just a couple of tomatoes, onions, and pickles with some lettuce (the amount you'd get in a normal whopper). So it tasted really bad. I'm not a serious eater or anything so I ate it way too slowly and ended up getting full halfway through. It took me like an hour to finish it while my friend finished his in less than 30 minutes (he was really hungry). I have a couple of pics on my phone and my friend has a couple of pics on his phone. I'm gonna go sleep (and hopefully digest some of that burger) so I'll upload the pictures later and hopefully steal my friend's pictures when he uploads them on facebook.

I need some help with my high school Euro History class. We're having a major graded discussion/debate tomorrow about Hobbes and Locke but I suck at philosophy and after like 2 hours of reading and researching I still have no cases or arguments.

Basically I have to prepare a case for 4 discussion topics and be prepared to present and defend them. I'll be graded on my understanding of the theories of Hobbes and Locke, my ability to respond to the interpretation made by others, and my "understanding of the wider context of the debate" (euro history at the time?)...

The 4 discussion topics are:

1. Citizens of a state have the right to overthrow their government when that government denies their natural rights.

2. Human nature is inherently good so humans will inevitably will to good. Corrupt governments lead humans astray.

3.An absolute sovereign is the only means to attain and maintain a stable government.

4. In a state of nature humans will degenerate into crime, corruption and evil, a survival of the fittest. Dictatorial leaders save humans from their inevitable downfall.

Anybody who helps me understand the theories of Hobbes/Locke and helps me develop a case for the discussion topics above gets my undying gratitude and a free e-card!

EDIT: I'm fairly certain that this blog is legal as I found a bunch of similar threads when I searched philosophy on TL. None of those threads really help me though.

I promise that my second blog entry will better. I'll fill it with pictures of Tokyo and other interesting stuff.

EDIT II: I hate love yahoo answers.
