Other animals, hands-down. So much biomass; so much variety; so much specialisation; so much winning.
Unless we do what we'd probably do and just nuke everything into oblivion, then everyone loses.

This mainly directs to those of you living in the UK. Having read about issues such as binge drinking or drug abuse in Britain, I am just pondering whether British teenagers are really poorly behaving or whether it is just the media that make them appear like that.
Personally, I can't imagine youth in Britain being so different to other countries, where this sort of problems does not occur as often in the news, but maybe I am just biased.
Also, do you think that social inequalities alter the behaviour of the youth in Britain?

Drinking and drugs (especially under-age) are a real issue in the UK, it's in no way unusual for a 14-year-old to go out and drink until they're vomiting and passing out onto a bathroom floor. I think it's pretty ridiculous myself, but it's what people seem to enjoy (actually more like what they believe they should enjoy). I'm not sure how bad it is elsewhere, but I hear from friends who've lived abroad that other countries aren't as bad. It's not something which bothers me in particular, I see no harm in having a beer or three of an evening, but drinking neat vodka for the sakes of drinking it is something which I just think is ridiculous (but I was 14 once, and it seems fun at the time). The problem is that people don't believe they can have fun without being drunk, which is simply not the case, but people seem not to want to believe it. This video is a just about related enough for me to post (and I think it's pretty hilarious anyway) although this was a fairly calm party and most other people weren't anything like this bad:
In Topic: Day person or a night person?

There are unique aspects to both, but in general I prefer working at night and being out in the day (with the exception of friday and saturday nights haha)
I love the peace of night-time, but I also like the views and sunshine of a sunny day. I also love rainy days, but not rainy nights (unless I'm inside
)

Is eating at midnight not cool? I think not. I do eat at midnight, and I'm proud of it.

Of course! there's so much you can do if you decide you want to. Of course, if bad things happen you decide you don't like it, then you won't, but why think like that? There isn't much else we can do so you might as well enjoy it!
(I know some people have serious issues, but that's just speaking from my own lucky experiences so far)
what's your favourite sport (extreme or regular) and which sport would you like to start?
In Topic: Biology EE on physiology a good idea?

As a broad rule, you're not going to get above a grade C for a science EE unless you perform an experiment, regardless of how excellent your EE is otherwise. Therefore I'd recommend you try and focus on areas which allow you to do an experiment of some sort, unless you want to shoot yourself in the foot from the word go! Just research/reading-based EEs tend to perform poorly. As the IBO has strict regulations about not doing anything involving animals and so on, most people tend to start out wanting to look at physiology because they want to go on to study medicine or whatever and then discover that actually this is rather an impossible area thanks to the limitations on what experiments you can do. The closest possible area of experimentation is generally memory/behaviour. Or to just give up on this route altogether.

I'm thinking I may change it to conservation and do environmental systems & society of whatever it's called haha then I could maybe do it about coral reefs or deforestation etc.

Are you sure that doing an EE in Biology is a good choice seeing as you don't study it? At my school they say you must do your EE in one of your higher level subjects, with a few people doing theirs in standard subjects due to special circumstances.

I would have taken biology had doing all three sciences been an option, and I'll be doing some of it at uni, so I wanted to show that I can do it basically
