Do you spend too much time on smart phone playing ‘stupid games’?

I actually don't really play any games on my phone apart from the occasional game that's circulating around college or my friend circle.

What is the best way to learn a foreign language?

Move to the place where the language is dominant. Very few things as learnt as quickly as in forced conformity.

How does society brainwash the youth?

Well, by forcing social conventions onto them. Basically, society isn't tolerant of radical thought and that is beyond disgusting.

What do you think about vegetarians?

I respect their choice and I'm impressed at their ability to stay away from meat. But I don't like the condescension and the fact that it is a nightmare to go out for lunch or dinner as a group with them.

Who would win in a fight? Chuck Norris or Jack Bauer?

Jack Bauer! Chuck Norris is overrated. I mean, if he was as great as everyone says he is, he would probably come over and smack me in the head while I'm typing this, But he can'tg svenhgvbrpik ;vbpwsr[ohgwrbnissdn kvsslkdfgns snd og

i've heard your talks and you're an amazing speaker, Shawn! But I've also heard that you can get intense and aggressive while debating. doesn't that actually hinder the conversation?

Thank you!
The thing about being aggressive and arrogant while arguing is that I actually find it to be better and convincing people than normal techniques, but not all the time.
If you offend someone, chances are that the person is going to be thinking about what you said (in order to get back at you with a witty remark) . In the process of recalling you say, they actually think about it. And sometimes, they might get an epiphany and understand what you were trying to put across.
Although I really don't do it all the time, it really has come useful in more than one situation. I'd never recommend it though. A great debater can get his point across while being the quietest one in the room.

What would be your dream car? and why?

2010 Bentley Continental Supersports! Of course, that would be my choice if I were to use the car daily, or whatever. If I didn't have to do that, then Bugatti Veyron all the way!

Shawn! What do you like on your toast? :-p

Anything from baked beans to Nutella :-p Although, I usually just melt a cube of butter.

If your parents hated your partner you currently loved would you ditch him or carry on with him despite the protests? my parents don't like my boyfriend.

I would carry on despite the protests. It's because of the simple reason that I'm the one who is gonna get married to the person and not my parents.
Of course, your parents are concerned about you and they have every right to give advice and tell you whether your partner is a good fit for you or not. But flat out, protesting the relationship is really bad on their part, if that's what's happening.
It's best if you sit down and have a long conversation with them. Explain to them, why you're with your partner and maybe they'll understand.

what's the best book which you've read, Shawn?

George Orwell's 1984. Maybe no the 'best' per se, but definitely had the biggest impact on me!

that guitar of yours is SEXY. show me a pic! :-*

I don't know which one you're referring to, but it'll probably be my Schecter. I think that it's SEXY too :-p Enjoy.

How'd you like Linkin Park's new album? :-)

It was a nice surprise. I thought it was gonna be a little hard to live up to the hype that they created but they nailed it.

how do I lose my virginity? :-( I'm 18, and I'm still one.

1. Catch a butterfly
2. Name it "Virginity"
3. Let it go
You have now lost your Virginity! :-p
Seriously though, relax. No point in trying to lose it for the heck of it. You'll regret it later.

I heard you love progressive metal? Where do I start listening? It's like an entire universe in itself!

Dream Theater's "Metropolis Part 2: Scenes From A Memory" is a great way to start!

Are you as bored as I am?” Read that backwards, and it still makes sense!

Haha!
Yeah, I am.
The sem break isn't nearly as long enough for us to relax properly.

What is this best way to deal with a break up? i just broke up with my long time boy and i feel empty inside.

Music.
And don't force yourself to 'get out there' and get back to functioning normally soon. Everyone needs time to get over something like this.
Do whatever you want. don't try to forget the experience, rather learn to make it a part of your past. Accept it and move on, though I'll admit it's easier than it sounds.
Hang in there! You'll be fine soon.

i like your new fb profile photo. it feels like you're staring into my soul ^-^

Haha, i'll admit that wasn't what I was going for.. but thanks :-)

I wanna learn an instrument! you play quite a few, so which is the most fun?

It all depends on what you like to listen to. For me, the fun of the instruments depends on the song I'm performing.
Having said that, I'd recommend the guitar because it is relatively easy to start learning and also not an expensive hobby to maintain.
