JR: One year of turning the world inside out

http://www.ted.com Street artist JR made a wish in 2011: Join me in a worldwide photo project to show the world its true face. Now, a year after his TED Prize wish, he shows how giant posters of human faces, pasted in public, are connecting communities, making change, and turning the world inside out. You can join in at insideoutproject.net

This was the figurative use of 'heart', meaning 'the centre of someone's emotional response to things'. Being Captain Literal in a conversation about activism and art wins you no points.

And the thing they are forgetting is that school is not all about cramming students' heads with facts but its about lighting a fire of inspiration, a thirst for learning and knowledge that can stay with a person for a lifetime once lit.

Why is this trend of hijacking conversations about world changing concepts with self flautuating indictments between two fools so prevalent with TED? Someone come up with a filter that kicks any post that wanders off subject, so the rest of us can give inertia to what could be the very elements of human evolution. Natural selection could be the name of the filter. THIS GUY'S WORK IS AMAZING!!!

Did you know that Tunisia has one of the lowest suicide rates in the world (top ten)? Let's not try to change it...let's try to learn from it

'Whereas' was used correctly, and you have failed to demonstrate otherwise. You are entirely incapable of acknowledging when you are wrong, it's almost pathological. Every claim you have made about my use of grammar being incorrect has been false, and you just move on to the next claim without acknowledging that you were wrong. BTW, grammar is art, because grammar makes me feel something. Nice making art with you, I hope you put this up in an art gallery.

Again calling me a idiot and replying to me only shows you're a idiot. I have had enough of you, if you reply with anything not related to art and continue to talk about grammar and language I will ignore you. I also meant the use of the word whereas was not the correct word in the context of what you meant. Maybe the rules are limiting you. I think so.

Again 'I'm' not trying hard. In fact I HavE been Trying leSs hard to wind You; up ok. Am Good u c. But the point is and the point is.

[TheaDragonSpirit]

Basically I'm is contraction of I am. To use I am is fine but if you can shorten something you should else you would use you are all over, should not, and so on. The point of contractions is to make things more efficient. Your whole argument is based round this and doing things correctly. So you used I am. When you should of said I'm. You buffoon. Actions are more important than what is said, and what is meant by what is written is more important than how it is written.

[TheaDragonSpirit]

It was not correct. You're wrong deal with it. :P

There is no way to break rules elegantly. That's naive... the whole point to break rules is to change them or to disagree with them. That is not elegant in anyway. Elegant is to accept the rules and try to change the rules so your not breaking them. Me I do as I please till I think it would be best to follow the rules. Since following the rules only makes sense when they aid you. Not hinder you.

[MudHut67]

Oh dear, the idiot proves his idiocy once again. "where as" is the wrong word there", firstly it is 'whereas', and secondly it has nothing to do with the use of a semicolon. I used the semicolon because that next part was indeed continuing from the previous statement; it was explanatory. A semicolon is usable in place of a conjunction, such as 'whereas' which I did indeed use correctly. Once again you have proven that you are to adept at reading comprehension and that you are a complete tosser.

[MudHut67]

That is not what you are doing though, you think that the way you write is akin to being exploratory with language, when in fact you are fumbling around like, to use one of your overused and somewhat misused terms, a buffoon. Are you completely ignoring the fact that you attempted to correct ''I'm'' when it was perfectly correct? You can not break the rules of grammar effectively and elegantly without having knowledge of them.
