Judging Bias
As top tier lawyers are know for high percentages of conviction or acquittal, judges would be aware of this and a confirmation bias would be present.
Better Lover
I bet you'll discover
I'm a better lover
when you're tethered to a feather bed
under the covers
Increased carrying capacity
I would like to see a pie chart the detailed major technical impacts percentage impact on increasing carrying capacity. Start with segmentation by category, nutritional, medical, etc and then become specifics become difficult.
Balanced Journalism
"Does balanced journalism mean finding people to support stupid ideas" good character/reoccuring sketch where ridiculous opinions are voiced with even time.
Plastic bag ban
I picked up a hooker on Sammish way and she charged me 5 cents for not bringing my own bag.

Parenthood
Being a parent is like watching over you friend who has taken way too many mushrooms while you have also taken a reasonable amount of mushrooms. You don't really know what you are doing and whats going on but you're pretty sure they shouldn't be putting that in their mouth.
One of the best analogies I have heard from a standup I can't remember.
Listen Up Johnny
One great thing about having kids is they have to listen to all the stupid things you say and they even think you are smart.
Create, Evaluate, Analyze
Begin discussions by randomly selecting students to make a statement about a given topic on the board. The statement can have elements of truth or be completely false, it doesn't matter and the student doesn't have to tell anyone if they think its true or not. The class instead has a discussion as to weather or not they think the statement is true or not.
Additional suggestions
Place a despised but necessary task after discussion so that it could be pushed back by a longer discussion for participation motivation.
This exercise provides
Understanding of value statements through the gradual realization of what kinds of statements lead to longer discussions.
Discover the complexity of issues combined with varying perspective.
Top of the Class
In any size group of children, some will rise to the top and some will sink to the bottom. Therefore we should regularly segment off the top rather than remove from the bottom so that everyone else will be rewarded for positive achievement and utilizes social structures.
Manifest destiny #1
Adam and Eve tells the story that even in a perfect world man is destined to sin. A poor environment can therefore not be an excuse for sin.
Running in the Halls
I'm going to start a petition to allow running in the halls. Kids issues are under represented in our legislation.
What is that
Sometimes I follow a random train of thought and it takes me to places where I don't have knowledge so I end up asking the people around me some ridiculous non-sequiturs. It always seems like I'm asking grammatical questions out of context "What is that?" "No sorry, I mean what part of speech is the word that"
Hunter/Gatherer
In the paleolithic era, a defining gender roles of society was of men hunting and women were gathering. This defines a large portion of the differences between men and women (here I must give deference to the miracle of childbirth). While many qualities that make men superior hunters to women are immediately obvious to me,(just look at the Olympics), the comparable qualities that make women better at gathering escape me. Does anyone have some answers?

Fame
I think celebrities should be satisfied by fame and not require fortune. This is my justification for piracy.

Dewey
It is impossible to start a fresh train of thought. All new thought requires a previous stimulus, this is one reason why it is difficult to invent new ideas.
Open Bar
Flat rate entry fee, open bar, if its packed enough people wont be able to get many drinks and it will be worth it for the bar.
12
When I have to set an alarm for noon or midnight I usually just set it for both just in case.
Yes I realize these are unreasonable times for alarms to be set for.
"Fruits and Vegetables"
I feel that fruits are unfairly paired with vegetables in our minds. Fruits are way better.

Perfection
Perfection is universal and therefore contains no individualism.
I consider any action performed les perfectly, in that precise way becomes our own individual dance. I consider any behavior that is less than perfect to be a dance of individualism
New Therapy
Intensive therapy where you force someone to recognize the disconnection between what they think they want and what they really want by making a list of every like and dislike and an explanation
This will allow for all opinions to be modernized from childhood ignorance. When people are cognizant of their opinions they are often inconsistent with their unconscious opinions, this disconnect causes discomfort in every decision.
You avoid this by making all opinions stated and explicit.
When I Grow Up
What it is you want to do when you grow up changes as you get older
first I choose what would be fun
then I choose what I would be good ad
then I choose things I think are important/match values
In Between
People who strong ability to communicate with people who speak a different language are a specialists at living in “the space between”.
The Mask
Perspective is a mask I wear so that I can live within different ranges of perspectives simultaneously. Until I have to make a decision/action/behavior than then I have to decide which cliché I want to hide behind or if I should be completely honest, if I even can.
Counter Culture
I dislike counterculture as a form of rebellion because it is too cliché real rebellion is random
Pushing the Limits
To truly be able to express yourself within a medium you need to be aware of its constraints, in searching for them you can attempt to expand them and advance the entire medium or create a new one.
T-shirt text
Jackass style prank where a mischievous person has control of the text on another person on the street’s shirt.
Foot Fetish
The part of your brain that is in charge of sensory perception from the genitals is right next to the part for the feet, maybe this explains the prevalence of foot fetishes.

A World Of Perspective.
The world needs a variety of philosophical perspectives in order for people to be happy in the variety of pursuits that society requires. If so, which expands first; the philosophies, or the niches in the world.

Suicide Ending
I wish that more movies would end abruptly with the main character committing suicide. This would impact every future movie I watch because I would recognize eminent suicide as a possibility, as of now it is not. This is not a good sign for the movie I'm watching.

Scary Quiet
Scary movies are better with less conversation so you can talk while you are watching and spook yourself out.
