Okay, I lied. I’m going to write about each topic suggested. Mostly because I want to. 😀

Hunger. Hm. What do I think about it? Well, for one, I think that it was a completely random suggestion to encompass the suggestor’s feeling at that exact moment, but I’ll go with it.
From the medical standpoint, hunger decreases comfort. It ruins our concentration, thus impeding our abilities to learn. This is why you must eat breakfast in the morning! The meal will help you learn.
But what does hunger mean? Without looking it up in the dictionary, I’ll say that, off the top of my head, it’s the lack of sustenance. This could be the lack of food or even something as deep as justice. Yes, you can hunger for justice.
Hunger.

The phrase, “violence comes from freedom”
I spent the entire week thinking about this and I couldn’t think of anything. I agree with it, partially, because I believe that it is in human nature to sin. Actually, there have been studies that even little children lie about things. I don’t know what else to say.

Gays:
I used to really hate gays. That was back when I was more ignorant than I am now. Now, I’ve just become more accepting of the world around me, seeing good where I once saw bad.
Heck, I’ve even come to envy some of them for their courage to come out of the closet and not worry about their image in that way.

Girls:
Girls are complicated, man. But they are precious. Some go to such lengths to impress us guys that that they lose sight of right and wrong.
Girls. You are not pieces of meat. You are fearfully and wonderfully made. You are beautiful. Every. Last. One of you.

yeah. my kids have lied to me before and i’m fairly certain i didn’t teach them how to do it. hmm…unless james has 🙂
Let’s talk about that phrase. “Violence comes from freedom.”
In the simplest terms, we relate violence to guns.
Our Bill of Rights GUARANTEES our right to have these.
Freedom. Eh?
Of course, not everyone (myself included) relates guns to violence.
oh…and love the “girls” comment. hope all the girls out here will read that and realize it. we are beautifully and wonderfully made. i’ve often told james your momma is lucky to have sons like you and your brother.
violence comes from oppression. hell, most of our wars start because some oppressed minority is pissed off about something.
Yes but the oppressed minority usually is fighting for some form of freedom, or an idealistic type of it.
then the phrase in question would be “freedom comes from violence”
but the violence was spawned from the ideals of freedom.
without that hope, would there be violence?
