I heard of these use of tools and saw them on TV. And it reminded me how alike we can be compare to these animals.

That was just one of a handful of scenarios the teenagers debated and placed into “healthy” or “unhealthy” categories:
-
What you do on the internet, no matter how small (like statuses) can really affect people in different ways. Younger people should really keep it in mind.
-
-
“When it’s over, it’s over. I’m done with you.”
-
So apparently statuses and posts have become this important in this generation... It's gotten uncomfortably serious... And this is why I don't have a facebook.

“Who needs the drama?”
-
Couldn't agree more. There's no reason to get tangled into emotional drama and there's no benefits. I've seen girls obsessed with this stuff, and it makes me sick.

we will not let the acts of some small band of murderers who slaughter the innocent and cower in caves distort who we are
-
I think we should keep this tragedy in mind for future reference and recover from this as soon as possible instead of letting the violent act consume the best of us.

they attacked the very idea of America itself
-
America was damaged. The successful American image and thoughts itself has been hurt. But it will heal.
-
-
Nine years later, about 100,000 U.S. troops, some of whom were in grade school then, are still fighting there.
-
9/11 must have also really motivated a lot of people to fight for America.

That's amazing, especially for a tree. Instead of letting the blossoms rot on itself, the tree gets rid of them before it happens. I think it's cool.

-
The tree determines which ones make the cut, shedding the blossoms that are not receiving enough light or that otherwise don't seem viable.

no one has to be hurt. Ants are scared away, and the ones with the most left standing there wins.
-
A method where no one has to be hurt is interesting. Millions of people die in our wars, but I'm sure we wouldn't be capable of one where we just "scare" each other away, unfortunately. I wish it were that simple.

-
Some of the most dangerous species have that capacity, expanding their territories indefinitely to form super-colonies.
-
Super-colonies are the best way to go, assuming that, from the size of the ants, a small group of them will be weak and helpless. Successful super-colonies are essential for the survival of many ants. This is a sign of adaption to their environments, which is pretty smart, instead of little amounts of ants scattered away from each other.

There is a colony here in California that stretches between San Francisco and the Mexican border and weighs more than the entire city of Carmel.
-
I've been to California before, and I'm pretty sure that the people there don't know about the "Very Large Colony." An ant colony weighing more than a city? Well, that makes it impossible to count how many ants there are... I wonder how much ants are born in that colony per day?
