Msn slang

Even Star Wars contain msn slangs.





















Fyi, lol, bac, ovr, mor, thn, hs, hw, lmao, rofl and ect.
So, what on earth does all this mean?

Well if you are a teenager, you may have a chance at understanding what I just wrote. Although I think that how people communication today is very clever, however, I do think it is killing the English language. School are accepting it exams and term papers, kids are forgetting when they write in a school text to a text message and it has gotten a little out of hand. I also think that it has left some parents feel anxious and suspicious over why this is happening and to the extent that it is. Like I said, I think that it is clever (I love texting myself). They can cut down words quite a lot. We use text slang here all the time. We accept it and most embrace it, so why is there much concern over this new wave of text language? I believe that it has to do with the fact some students use their slang words in their school work.

Maybe we should try to all look back and maybe discover that maybe there are few more concerns than getting sidetracked.

Could you do a better job?

When does fiction become a reality?

For teens, it may be something as simple as a brand of jeans they choose to wear or a new hair style they try after seeing Amy sporting it on The Secret Life of the American Teenager. Although, for the stars that have an impact in the media it can be a quick reality.

A prime example of this is Charlie Sheen with his character of Charlie Harper on Two and a Half Men, that has entertained audiences for years with a character who is reaching middle age with girls hanging off his arms although, he also has to deal with a brother who does not have a lot of money and a nephew who grows up on the show to still be as dumb as a stump but still has some fantastic witty comebacks. Charlie Sheen over the years appears to have become unstable as a father and inconsiderate of those who surround him, mainly the mother of his twin boys and his producers. According to Charlie he is not bipolar, he is "biwinning" and ladies and gentleman, he has tiger blood running through him. His character of constantly having women hanging off of him has turned into a reality. He now lives with his goddesses.

Another example of a television character getting the best of someone is Jamie Lynn Spears, that's right Brittney Spears' younger sister. In 2007, at the young age of 16 she got pregnant. Although, her story is a little different, her character on television was a tween at boarding school dealing with roommate and boy drama. She did however make a statement after her pregnancy was public knowledge that said "I can't be judgmental because it's a position I put myself in."

The price of fame for some can be overwhelming, being constantly in the eye of others, with the constant judgement and disappointment. Celebrities in a lot of ways have it rough when it comes to their personal life being on display. As much as we believe that money will solve all our problems or they just should have known better, we've never stopped to think if we would do any better if we were in their shoes. We would all like to think we would but, would we really?

We always have the opportunity to experiment with things such as drugs, sex and alcohol, does it mean it is a smart idea? No, not really but do we anyway? Sometimes yes, for some all the time, for others no. I'm not say that yes we should go out and test ourselves to see if we can handle having a baby or "biwinning" although, I am saying that we don't actually know what could happen. We have the opportunity to do our best with what life hands to us, we try to make wise decisions and create better opportunities in the future.

Facebook Friends

So I literally just got Facebook in December. Yes, somehow I was able to live without it until grade 11, even though almost everyone else couldn't seem to live without it. I never really undeerstood the need/want for Facebook... until I got Facebook.


There is satisfaction in knowing what all your friends, enemys and even your crush is doing at that exact moment. Posting pictures from the exciting moments and events in your life is also fun and Facebook definitely keeps us connected.


But the real questions that I have here aren't why we feel the need for Facebook, but is how many friends do have on Facebook? have you considered when you have possibly have TOO many friends? Is there even a limit to the amount of 'friends' you can have on Facebook? How many of the people you have as friends are ACTUALLY your friends??


Some Facebook Stats said there are over 500 million active facebook users and that an average user has 130 friends. This might be average, but most people I know with Facebook have at least 200 friends!


More statistics say that the maximum amount of friends you can have is 5000!! In fact, there is a several groups on facebook for anyone who wants to have way more Facebook friends!!


The description I found on one Facebook page for the group to reach their maximum amount of friends was:


"Need to add Facebook friends? Want to reach the maximum limit of 5000 Facebook friends. Let's work hard together so that everyone can reach their goal!"


This icon/image below was on the same Facebook page- Yes it is great to have friends, but there is a difference between regular friends and Facebook only friends











Who really needs that many friends on Facebook?? Or for that matter who needs 5000 friends in general???


Another group stated that by having more friends on Facebook, you would become more popular!


Do you really need hundreds or even thousands of friends on Facebook just to be popular?


Again, are they really even your friends?!


Some people add 10 or more friends every day! Chances are that if you are adding that many people per day, you either just got Facebook and are adding all your friends from school, work etc., or the people you are adding aren't even people that you know!


You really should not be sharing personal information or photos with peopl that you don't even know!


So, can you possibly have too many Facebook friends? When should you stop adding people?


In my opinion, you should set a limit for yourself as to how many people you are going to add, make it reasonable so that you can have a good amount of friends, but don't make your main goal in life to get the maximum amount of friends on Facebook! Its not worth your time or effort and it definitely does not make you any better or more popular! If you don't know someone, why add them?!

Playoff Post-Play

The Playoffs are done, and the NBA is is not returning until late October to start the 2011-12 season. With the Mavs having taken the title this year, defeating the Miami Heat in the process, I'd just like to comment on this series as a whole.

The series went 6 games, which is something the NBA world should be used to in this situation. In 2006, it was actually the Heat and the Mavs that met up in the finals, except back then it was the Heat who were victorious. This time around, the Mavs won it all in 6.

It's odd too many people because a team with players at the level of Dwyane Wade, who won the title in 06', and Lebron James, it was almost a guarantee they had the title, especially with all the hype of the off-season.

But I believe that the outstanding play of both Dirk Nowitzki and Jason Terry really was the difference maker. Dirk has grown and become undoubtedly one of the best clutch players, as well as possibly the best international player the game has ever seen. And the bench play of Jason Terry is just amazing. Scoring at high rates, as well as in the clutch with Dirk, he was probably the most underrated player on the Mavs, while at the same time always having a sense of "you better respect me and defend, or I'm gonna drop the shot in your face". And not just from a scoring aspect, he made great passes and plays that were crucial in games that led to victories.

When game 6 was being played, something happened that needs to be addressed. It doesn't even have much to do with the game itself, but here's what happened. Eddie House of the Miami Heat had just made a 3-pointer, and then a time out was called. When that happened, Deshawn Stevenson of the Mavs and Udonis Haslem got into a bit of a scuffle, which resulted in players having to stop a possible fight from breaking out between the two players, and then also led to a technical foul on the Mavs, and 2 given to the Heat.

This was unnecessary and unsportsman like behaviour to witness. Game 6, a title game for the Mavs and an elimination game for the Heat, people would assume that players would be focused on the game, and "intense" obviously, but not in this respect.

In short, the Heat fell short early on and faced the consequences of the Mavericks becoming champions.

E3

So E3 has come and past again... another year gone by. Many new exciting games are coming out, Some that I am looking forward to are MW3, Battlefield 3, and Assassins creed revelations. The graphics in these games are wicked, especially Battlefield 3 (it looks so realistic), it makes me think of how far are the games graphics going to go in the future? It’s going to be insane. Those three games are the highlight of E3 for me this year, I believe that all three of them are going to go far past everyone’s expectation of the games, I think all three of them did a god job in getting everyone’s attention at E3, the trailers and gameplay that were played were crazy! I can't wait until they come out!

i thought u were selling clothes ...... not SEX !!!!

Every time we walk down the street we are shown sexualised images trying to sell a product ...... or are they just selling sex !!!! the other day i was trying to look for some clothes that i would like to purchase at American apparel and i came across very sexualised images ( claiming to be selling the clothes ), it was shocking to see completely exposed women, its like a form of legal porn !!! this store is popular among many tweens ........ so when they go to this site what are they being told??? that these clothes are for sexy girls ..... therefore these girls will get the message to "be sexier" girls as young as 7 are hearing the message that they have to be sexy....... the media is taking away little girls innocence, and making them grow up WAYYYY to fast !!!. but if you think of it ....... does grown up mean being sexy ... NOO !!! grown up is being able to see past the fake and unrealistic messages that the media tries to push at us !! so we need to take a stand against companies that sexualise their products by selling sex rather than just the product !!!

Rumour Has It...

Rumours are horrible things that NO ONE likes have spread about themselves. If that's so then why do people spread them about other people? To make them feel better about themselves, or maybe just the slip of the lip. No matter what the reason rumours hurt innocent people. As rumours get passed on and on, the more people add onto them. Rumours happen in the media, through social networking, in schools. They are hard to get away from, try to ignore it.

Who are you to tell someone how to parent their child?

Recently a news story about a canadian couple raising a child to be gender neutral, exploded all over the net.
Here's the original article below;
http://parentingsguide.com/2011/05/canadian-couple-wont-reveal-childs-gender-the-mommy-files/

The article talks about how the family lets the children choose what toys they want to play with, what they want to wear, if they want to be home schooled or go to a public school. So why are they under such fire?

Our culture and media is obsessed with gender. It's how we are placed in a demographic by the media, it's used to defined our actions as 'manly' or 'girly'. It's such a part of our society today, that anything that crosses over the line into the opposite territory there seems to be a media fire there to voice their opinion.

But why is that grey area between boy and girl such a big deal?

Media doesn't always seem to accurately portray transgendered, or gender neutral individuals in a very positive way.

It's not like someone who is gender neutral or transgendered has any effect on your life whatsoever, them being who they are or want to be doesn't hurt you in any way. Everyone should be intitled to live their life the way that makes them happy, and if you don't like or agree with someone else's lifesytle, then look away.

So why, as a society do we feel the need to be entitled on how to tell someone how to parent their child?
I interpreted the story as simply a human interest piece, stating the story, letting it raise some questions and to really get people thinking about how their parenting style is different to this on, and how they might be open minded to accepting this way of parenting a child.

Think of the way your parents raised you and the colours as well as the types of toys they gave you. Where they associated with your gender?
The pressures of gender seperation influence parenting styles, and helps shape how the next generation view gender.

I personall support these parents in how they are raising their child, becasue ultimately it is their business how they raise their child and nobody else's.

Tap Water or Bottled Water?

Both tap water and bottled water is “safe” to drink here in Canada. But the question that is brought up is which one is healthier? At first I thought bottled water was safer to drink then tap water but after I realized Tap water is a safer source because of many reasons.

I have realized that for many years bottle water companies have advertised their bottle water to make it seem that their bottled water is healthier and that tap water is not safe for us to consume.

Certain brands of bottled water have been shown to have more contaminants than tap water due to the leaching of harmful chemicals from the plastic bottles. The scientific evidence is clear that all plastic bottles leach chemicals into the water.

One of the chemicals found in water bottles is phthalate. Phthalates are known to cause reproductive disorders and liver problems. Phthalates also increase the risk of cancer.

Bottled water is also way more expensive then Tap water. This is another reason I choose to drink tap water. And the sad thing is that most bottled water companies use local city tap water to fill their bottles.

In my opinion I think using a home drinking water filter is not only a healthier choice; it is more economical, environmentally friendly and convenient! A home water filter will allow you to control the type and degree of filtration, saving you time and money.

So which do you think is better Tap water or Bottled water??

YouTube

What is YouTube?
It is a popular video sharing web site that lets anyone upload videos for public and private viewing. It was invented by Steve Chen, Chad Hurley and Jawed Karim. YouTube was bought by Google in 2006 for $1.65 billion! It is another very useful venue for sharing videos between people around the world.

YouTube can be viewed by anyone, videos can be posted by anyone and can be downloaded by anyone. YouTube is used by people of all different ages and types in so many different ways. It has become a useful tool for educational, entertainment and marketing purposes in a society where technology and resources are always being updated and/or improved.

This site is used by people of all ages and although this is a positive factor, it is also potentially negative. It can be useful for school projects. For example, a student might need to find examples of historical dances that you possibly would not be able to find on another website, or examples might be avaiable elsewhere but Youtube make the search much easier. However, sites like YouTube have trouble controlling the access for this site. (I guess when you think about it, Youtube may not really want to control access - they want as many people viewing as possible to sell ad space!) Educators must put tight controls on what students can view at school. YouTube is obviously a site that has both good and bad content. Lately, we have been able to view more of YouTube content at school. Although not all files are available, most students are using this site to their advantage - it connects them to the most current, popular media and video files, educational or otherwise. It does seems to be ok for high school students to have open access to Youtube, but do we want grade 3 students to have the same access - obviously not!
YouTube helps to connect people of several generations and it makes videos, ads, and much, much more available and accessible to everyone. Youtube is another recently developed technology that although very powerful and useful can be negative if not properly controlled.

Who's message is it anyway?

Have you ever felt like a walking billboard?

You might be thinking, "um... what?"

Have you ever noticed how many advertisements surround you on a daily basis? Take a moment to look up from your computer screen, look around the room, are you

at home in your room with posters on the walls, at school with your bag on your desk and you're staring out the window or even just look down at your t-shirt.

Is there a logo or symbol of some sort?

I bet there is.

We no longer seem to care if we are being used by a company to sell their product for them. How often do you look around on your way through the halls at school and notice a brand name sprawled across someone's chest?

Which one's do you notice the most?

Do they look different...

Or the same?

The part that is really amazing is how often products are the same, the only difference is the brand name, whether it is aero postale, abercromie or holister people go out of their way to purchase clothes that look the same as the next the clothes at the next store over.

It is as if people are settling for a brand name instead of choosing to create a personal style. It is everywhere, on your t-shirts, on your jeans, even on your bags. Have you noticed your shopping bags lately, the new reusable bags with large spread logos as an upgrade from a regular plastic bag with the logo in giant letters. It is even on your pants, mainly women's pants with giant labels across the booty of the pants because companies have determined the back side as the most noticed part of the female body, only when you are walking behind them of course. Once you see them from the front the strategy changes to focus on the chest of a person. Does this demonstrate a positive outlook on our bodies? That you only get attention for a few reasons one being what brand you wear and two for what you allow others to see. That isn't a positive image for anyone.

Even the messages on clothing can be taken to the extreme

What does this tell you?

That you're a cool kid when you spend a Friday night at home with a cup of tea and a good book or that you should be out drinking until you can't think straight. Which option sounds more appealing and exciting.

Now think it over a second time, which one will you regret the following day and which will you remember. If you hadn't thought about it a second time, what would you take away from this t-shirt.

Are they all the same answer, for some it might be and for others it may change.

Think about this, is it right for us to be wearing someone else's message; is that any different from putting on a mask.

You be the judge, but judge carefully.

NBA Finals?

So, I was right and wrong about a few things this post season.

Derrick Rose is the league's MVP for the 2010-11 season, and the youngest in history.

The Chicago Bulls and the Miami Heat (seeds 1 and 2) are in the Eastern Conference finals.

But, neither the Los Angeles Lakers, or the San Antonio Spurs are in the Western Conference finals. Both the number 1 and 2 seeds are out, and the 3rd and 4th seeds are in the race for west supremacy.

The Oklahoma City Thunder and the Dallas Mavericks are battling it out right now, and I did not see this coming.

The Thunder weren't thought as a playoff team because of how young the team is, but they have rose over the adversity and have said "why not be a playoff contender?".

Mavs fans are overjoyed this year, finally having a solid playoff run, and the outstanding play of Drik Nowitzki is definently making it hard to ignore the large possibility that this spuad of players can win it all this year.

After 4 games already played in the west finals, OKC is down 3 games to 1, and would need to win 3 games in a row to knock off the Mavericks. The defensive and offensive intensity that this team has is too great for OKC to handle in my opinion, because the depth they have on the entire roster is amazing. Oklahoma has 2 prominent offensive options in Russel Westbrook and Kevin Durant. Sixth man James Harden as well, but still not enough.

Kevin Durant has led the league in scoring the past 2 seasons... and he's only 22.

But OKC being young and actually one of my favorite teams, I think the Mavericks have offensive and defensive firepower on the starting line and the bench that beats out the thunder.

Going to the East, the Bulls and Heat series is moving along with the Heat at a 3 games to 1 advantage.

For a Bulls fan like myself, it pains me to say this, but the Miami Heat are going to beat Chicago in the East. This is due to the fact the series is best of 7, and Chicago would need to win the next 3 games to beat out the heat, while Miami needs 1 win. I don't think any team in history has come back from a 3-1 deficit.

When a team has the talents of Dwyane Wade and Lebron James on the same team, with a complimentary third option in former Toronto Raptor Chris Bosh, the offense alone is too much for the Bulls to handle. Three all-stars on one team is too much for one on the Bulls, even if that all-star is the MVP.

So with Oklahoma and Chicago down 3-1 in each series, it looks as if the NBA finals is going to between the Dallas Mavericks and the Miami Heat.

Though I like the Miami Heat (not as much as the Bulls), I am on the side for the Dallas Mavericks to win the title. It's a personal opinion of mine, and I believe that it is possible. Regardless of who wins that series, it is going to be an exciting one to watch.

The Heat have their own spark in Wade and Lebron, but the Mavericks Drik Nowitzki has an advantage in this series. Dirk plays at the power forward position, and the two power forwards that the Heat use most is their Starter in Chris Bosh and the back-up Udonis Haslem.

Drik has thrived in the post-season this year. His offense is clicking at such a high level, nobody is really able to guard him or block his shots. In the OKC series right now, he's got great defensive players (Serge Ibaka and Nick Collison) guarding him every game, and he is still making his shots. And when he gets double teamed, Dirk has no problem passing the ball to the open man.

Chris Bosh is all offense, and most of the time, he only contributes 18 points per game. He'll get a block here and there. And he gets rebounds... on the defensive end. Not very impressive, plus lebron james, who plays small forward, tends to get the same amount or more rebounds than Bosh does in most games.

Bottom line, Bosh has a lack in defense that Dirk is going to take advantage of. Even if the Heat put Lebron on him, who occasionally plays the 4 spot, Dirk has height, length and shot form over him. Drik Nowitzki is about 7 feet tall, his arms are long, and a majority of the time when he shoots, he brings the ball very high up AND fades away.

And the Mavs bench is, again, much better than the Heats overall, and probably one of the best in the NBA. Jason Terry is their sixth man, and he'll make guards like James Jones and Mike Bibby looks foolish.

To cap it off, a nice series to come. I hope Dallas wins, but don't count out the Heat.

So the question is: Dallas or Miami?

Charles and Diana vs. Kate and William

Diana and Charles Wedding vs. Kate and Will's Wedding


The historical Royal wedding took place on April 29, 2011. Around the world, people talked about this event for weeks and even months before it took place. Newspapers, the web, and almost every other form of media covered this event.
The last time an event like this took place was 1981, when Princess Diana and Prince Charles got married. The two most current Royal weddings were both very similar and different. Many comparisons have been made between the two Royal weddings and the two couples.

Similarities

• the train of Kate's dress- about 9 feet or 2 metres 70 cm in length. Princess Diana's train was 25 feet or about 7.6 metres in length
  
  


• Both couples had multi-tier fruitcakes
  
  


• Kate and Will chose to pose in a similar way to Charles and Diana in their engagement photo

• Diana's dress was designed by David and Elizabeth Emanuel, was made of silk taffeta and antique lace. Diana and the designers wanted to make a dramatic statement. Kate's dress was 250000, an Alexander McQueen gown custom designed by Sarah Burton made with white satin and gazar.





• William gave Kate the same ring that Charles gave Diana- 18 carat gold; 12 carat oval Ceylon sapphire and diamonds
  

Differences

• William and Kate announced their engagement on November 16, 2010 which caught the media by surprise. Charles proposed to Diana after a brief courtship. Their engagement was announced on February 24, 1981.





• 750 million people watched the ceremony on television and 2 million people lined the streets of London to get a glimpse of the bride and groom last month. Over 700 million people from 58 countries watched Diana and Charles marriage on television
  
  
  


• Diana and Charles had only met 13 times before getting married. Kate and Will have been a couple for 8 years!




• Diana and Charles were married in front of 3500 invited guests. Kate and Will were married in front of almost 2000 guests




• Diana and Charles married at St. Paul's Cathedral in London. Most royal weddings take place at Westminster Abbey, but due to the amount of guests, St. Paul's was the more obvious choice.

• Age: Kate- 29 years old , Diana-20 years old-William- 28 years old, Charles- 33 years old





• Tiara- Diana wore the family tiara. Kate did not where any tiara.
  
  
  


• Honeymoon Destinations: Kate and Will travelled in secret (at first) to the Seychelles islands- a luxury Indian Ocean location. Charles and Diana honeymooned on her Majesty's yacht for a Mediterranean cruise. Then they travelled to Scotland before coming back to London.
  

The most recent Royal wedding in April, had more media coverage and more people watching than the previous Royal wedding. New technology and more accessibility has allowed more people to be able to be apart of this event. If a Royal Wedding had taken place a few hundred years ago, only people close to the Royal family would have seen the wedding. Media has given us the ability to broadcast and show events like this to people all around the world.

Thinking Pink.

Pink.
It's just one of the ten million colours that our eyes can distinguish.
Look at these two photos.

Did you assume one was a boy and one was a girl?

Why?

Simply because of the colour their wearing?
It's not like they can choose the colour of blankets they are wrapped in or the colour of the clothing they wear. But why is pink so overly associated with females?

Not only are baby clothing and toys seperated by pink for girls and blue for boys.
Think of all the commericals kids see growing up for toys that are pink for girls.
The pink power ranger was a girl.
The colour pink has such a negative connatation around it towards men. There have been instances when men wear pink shirts and get called gay. But what does a colour have to do with someone's sexual orientation? It's ridiculous, it's simply a colorur! When a woman wears blue, she is not seen as masculine or 'manly', so why is it so different when a man wears pink?

Elvis drove a pink cadillac, and in the 50's it was popular to paint cadillacs various shades of pink.
Pink floyd? Pink Panther? Not exactly the face of feminine in the least.

So are we really that easily media persuaded, that we are so brainwashed to associate a colour with a specific gender just because everyone else does? Do you really agree with pink being a girly colour? Or have you been bombarded with messages surronding pink, that you have bought into the association of colours rather than using your own rational opinion?

Modification

Body modification is defined as willful alteration of the human body, whether it's for religious reasons, a rite of passage or just for self-expression. Most of us have undergone this, body modification can include piercing any part of your body or getting a tattoo on any part of your body. Some are more socially acceptable than others.

Considered "Socially Acceptable": A Simple ear piercing.

Considered NOT "Socially Acceptable":

Some of the things that people do to their own bodies may seem cool now, but let's think later into their lives, will they be happy when their skin starts to sag and wrinkle.

But of course the examples above are minor body modifications. Some people try to be a human version of an animal by doing many different modifications. People who try to do so, are called "Humanimals". Why do people do this? Some believe that they are related or connected to a cetian animal so they get plastic surgery, get tattoos and even piercings to look more like this animal.

Canada is a free country, and each person is their own. But sometimes people can get out of hand with expressing themselves.

Concerns With the Ever So Popular Twilight

I love vampire and supernatural books as much as the next person so I picked up the novel Twilight in grade seven at a book fair when the book was unheard of and newly released. I noticed a few odd concepts in the novel but at the age of 13 it doesn't register to a full degree.  By grade 9 the book was flowering with the popularity it was receiving and I read it again. I was disturbed by the new things I found that I now know isn't natural.

Edward Cullen. Main hot, sexy male character.

He is a stalker and a pedophile.

He watched Bella as she slept? He thirsted for her blood? He followed her home? 
There and then, the alarm bell started going, but Bella STILL fell in love with him! She's okay with the fact she watches her. She's okay with the fact that he thirsts for her blood and wants to EAT her.  Usually you would not be turned on or attracted to someone who takes their free time to watch you sleep or wants to eat you...you get a restraining order.

To top it,  he is over 100 years old. She is 17.  Can you say Pedophilia?
Think, if he did show his age?  He'd be ANCIENT.

Why is he in high school again? WHY would you want to repeat the thing most can't wait to get out of?
Possibly Edward has had hits to his manly pride as well. After all, he does Sparkle like a diamond in the sun.  What happened to the TRADITIONAL vampires? The ones who stayed inside all day? Who were afraid of crosses? Who hated garlic?
They were replaced with sparkling, human loving vampires like Edward.

Miss Bella Swan becomes SO RELIANT on Edward. Ditches her friends, ditches her friends and  lies to her father several times throughout the series.
Then he breaks up with her suddenly.
What does she do?
She sits, in a corner and mops. For MONTHS. In the SAME clothes.  She refuses to talk to anyone and shuts out the world.
WHAT?
GO GET SOME HELP.
She is a boy. We get it. You loved him but hunny, get over it.
Then he comes back and she goes on crawling back to him like a sick little puppy.

What does this teach the young girls of today who read these books?
Be reliant on your man.
WOW.
Independence? We fought for that! Why do you need a man? You can live just fine without one. Don't make me start quoting the Pussycat Dolls and their "I Don't Need A Man" song.

"I don't need a ring around my finger, to make me feel complete" -PCD
Yep, but Bella does. At the age of 18, she ditches University and her family and goes off to marry Edward. Smart move. Way to give up your entire life for a man.

Now after going though Biology in grade 9, I realize a HUGE problem.

BELLA GETS PREGNANT?

HOW?

That is biologically incorrect.

He has no blood and no semen therefore not only is it not possible for him to have intercourse with her, it is impossible to make her pregnant.
Also, WHY would you want the child of a vampire who will rip its way out of your body when its ready to come out?

Smart thinking...I guess they didn't think people learned biology. Or did they just wish for us to ignore the basic facts of reproduction?


Call me critical because I can't enjoy a basic vampire novel but I can only ignore so many details before it becomes unbearable to read without thinking WHAT THE...?
