A. It seems like a lot of repetition and little substance. Where is your topic sentence? I have a hard time finding it. You've obviously done some research, you need to be more focused in your writing.

Do women realize this? Harassment is a tool men use to test leadership of a person?
Q. I have heard all of this sexual harassment stuff, and I have studied a few cases. Each case, I say to myself, men say HELLUVA lot worse things to each other every single day as a form of social, emotional chess, as to test each other out. Men harass each other constantly about ... their mothers, "You should ask your mom about that..." being ugly, "You're getting older and uglier every day..." being fat, "You couldn't find pants in your size could you" being a bad dresser, "You in that shirt is so don't ask, don't tell" being non-athletic, "You run like a wounded animal" being stupid, "You have the world record on being wrong." being weak, "My five year old could open that container" being a coward, "He talks real sweet round boss man"… [cont.]

A. While I give you credit for trying, much of this is obviously plagiarized form other sources -- including Wikipedia. Your opening should be "My partner Cassidy and I" And, the whole thing really doesn't make a lot of sense. It's just a listing of sentences, facts and events. What is the point of what you are writing? Is it an essay .. if so, what's the thesis? EDIT: When you use information from other sources, unless it's "common knowledge" you need to cite it. I'm sure your teacher told you that as well.

is this impossible according to the laws of thermodynamics and entropy?????
Q. Is this theory even possible according to the laws of thermal dynamics??? The Eternal Return is basically the theory that there is infinite time and a finite number of events, and eventually the events will recur again and again infinitely. Consider the world as a super-complex chess game. If games of chess are played one after another forever, eventually a game will be repeated since there is only a finite number of possible games, it is the same with the world; eventually events will recur in the same order. The world is an eternal process of coming to be and passing away. The process, however, has no beginning or end. Eventually every combination of matter and energy will be realized and repeated and infinite number of times the… [cont.]

A. That's all based on the assumption of the universe being infinite. Current doctrine in physics suggests that the universe is not infinite. So no, that won't happen. Entropy alone dictates it, by the fact that in any given point in time, you can't have less entropy one day than you had previously, meaning previous states of the universe are unattainable due to entropic restrictions.

Why have I lost the ability to think or care?
Q. I'm very confused lately. Like I said in another question, I can't seem to remember anything. I can't focus on anything, or think about things. I have absolutely no train of thought, ever. It seems like I can still type perfectly fine, but only due to the excessive amount of typing. I don't know how best to describe this. You know when you first wake up in the morning, you can SEE everything, but you can't really comprehend anything, think ahead, or even figure out what's going on? That is how it feels for me 24/7.

Why are goals becoming harder to come by than before?
Q. Looking on Wikipedia back in the 50's and 60's, scoring 5 goals in a single game by both teams were very common occurrences. For example, in the 1954 FIFA World Cup, the average goals scored per game was a stunning 5.4! The couple previous FIFA World Cups were all around 2.0-2.5 GPM (Goals per match). This year's GPM has set a record low of 1.65. Is this all an evolutionary progress for Football? Since the more offensive minded teams are less likely to win due to a wider margin of errors, defense is now the only way to go? Note: This is not only occurring in Football. In Chess for example, the 19th century players are always attacking, and each chess match are much more terse and "exciting" but now the games are now more slower and… [cont.]
