<p>damn, 2 caribbean girls in one thread.</p>
<p>^ make that three I am Jamaican. West Indies represent !!!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>If growing up means becoming a selfish prick who only looks for the bad in others then I will blissfully never grow up.</p>
<p>wt f. caribbean chicks going to outnumber the asians on here.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>You actually don’t need to look for the bad. You just need to be able to see through the “good” facade.</p>
<p>@ Wladimir</p>
<p>Nope since the islands biggest population is Indian then African American.</p>
<p>@Punkchique</p>
<p>Big up lol!!!
You live in the US now?</p>
<p>@Wladimir But sadly people like you remain a majority everywhere</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>a 100% majority to be exact (whether some know it or not)</p>
<p>@Kelly, yup just for school though, I can’t wait to go home! You live in the states too?</p>
<p>@Wladimir, as long as I choose to willingly see the good in people, then I know there are others out there who do the same, and therefore that number, thankfully never be 100%</p>
<p>@Punkchique</p>
<p>Nice, what state you live in?</p>
<p>I was born in America and my parents are from Trinidad and Tobago.</p>
<p>“You only care about me because you want something” - Wladimir</p>
<p>You could be right that there is no good deed without some sort of benefit, whether its money, happiness, etc. This was actually a topic featured on the NBC show, Friends. But how are relationships within a family exempt from that? Is it really bad to be happy after helping someone and making him/her happy? Looks like a win-win situation to me.</p>
<p>And yeah I do want something. I want to give you a big friendly hug and tell you that there will always be people out there who genuinely care about the well-being of others. Usually they are family members, but not necessarily.</p>
<p>@Kelly, Florida but I’m transferring to michigan in the fall</p>
<p>@1 Sky Pilot, you are awesome :)</p>
<p>^^^Lets switch places, am in NYC. lol
You like snow??</p>
<p>Never saw it before lol. I just fell in love with MSU for some reason. But hopefully I adapt quickly cuz I heard winters are brutal. And I have always wanted to live in NYC, so I would gladly switch with you. lol</p>
<p>Wlad is trying to be the jaded teen cynic</p>
<p>so original</p>
<p>actually teens don’t think the way I do. At least I didn’t as a teenager, nor any of the teens I’ve known. I’m 22.</p>

<p>evolutionary psychology gets complicated in this regard. Protecting one’s own blood (or genes) has other evolutionary advantages than merely personal gain.</p>
<p>^^ You put to much in store by evolutionary psychology. Yes these ideals held true when society was less developed. But humans have been able to escape some of the evolutionary based behaviors displayed my other animals and displayed by our ancestors due to our intelligence. We are able to do things selflessly because it is no longer necessary to be selfish to survive. Evolution can have an effect on some areas, but free thought and compassion can play even bigger roles.</p>
<p>Just to give you some perspective on the whole doctors-work-forever thing:</p>
<p>My mom went to medical school in another country. She was doing her residency until she was about 30-31ish. She is a geriatrician(old people)/family (everyone) doctor. These are her hours, including the nursing home she works at:</p>
<p>M 9AM - 7PM
T 8:30AM - 5PM
W 8:30AM - 5PM
T 9AM - 6PM
F 8:30AM - 2PM</p>
<p>Having read your post I don’t think that you entirely understand evolution.</p>
<p>Our free thought is only a result of our brain chemistry which is only a result of how we evolved.</p>
<p>@waitingforivy, thanks for your post yeah hours are more even for GP’s and other non-surgical doctors, but if I become a doctor I want to be a surgeon and their hours are more grueling and unpredictable. I shadowed a heart surgeon last summer (my preferred specialty) and he would do a surgery in the morning that would last 6 hours and then see patients and then do another one that night! It was crazy.</p>
