I think the standard thing is… what? Anyway, most of the things in the world has a standard unit to it. Like lenear measurements(cm, m) I don’t like standard. I t makes life complicated,very complicated. For instance, I had to learn how to convert cm,to m. It was very hard.

mainstream way of doing things, also an old name for a gas station that used to be around in the 60’s and 70’s. usually the correct way things are done on a job. a standard can mean the way things have always been done which doesn’t mean that the standard cannot be changed. Change is good. As in there is no longer a standard gas station around. Can refer to an ethical standard that a person needs to live up to or live by. This is considered a good thing…something to measure against. Well, I think this is the standard way of answering this question. Standard doesn’t evoke creativity.

i feel like the whole world is based on standards. it makes it hard for anyone to be an indiviual. we all have to be the same-we all have to be standard. theres no creativity, no emotion-just equality. who knows….is that necessarily a bad thing?

wHY IS THe standard english dictionary so bad? I mean just why does everything have to be standard anyway. Perhaps strange could become standard, but would then standard be strange? How can we define the standard as a means of measure? To whom is said item standard, to whom is said item strange?

The word standard brings to mind something basic. You just hear standard and you think the basic, aka what everyone has. This is the standard model for that, standard model for that.

i think its bull shit when you hold it up to compare things. in school it hurts the brilliant kids, it babys the smart kids and it kills the sad honest kids. in life we hold standards and they are just there to be broken down for us to become who we really are, who we beleive we really should be. it is what we use to beat down and become us.
mei ratz
My standards are just basically living life and having fun at the moment. I mean how can you live your life carign what peple think all the time. I of course have standards in life whether its with relationships or my schoice of educational studies but life is all about standars though in a way. Because we have to love what we chose and what we end up doing they have to FIT our standards. So im just greatful to actually have a chance to expireince life and hopefully I continue my goals and fufill them as well.

I think that the California State standards for education are a joke. If you throw a rock you will hit one, no matter what grade the child is in. The standards are so broad that they really don’t make a lot of sense. And honestly, the things that the state find important, I just don’t. Here we are, one of the last states in the country as far as level of education, and clearly the standards aren’t meeting The Standard.

I held the flag above my head and waved to the figure across the field. His head turned toward me, slowly. It was a foolish thing to do, I suppose, drawing attention to myself, waving the flag through the smoke, not knowing whether the figure was a friend or an enemy; but anything was better than being alone in that field surrounded by bodies.

IBM used to be the Standard. IBM, that’s all one needed to hear. Until 1998 when for some unexplained reason the decision was to create junk, ignore problems, and treat customers like leprous beggers.
Shortly after, IBM was forced to sell its’ personal computer section to China.
Why?
Why would a company which had been the market standard do this?

standards are tough. no one had them anymore though. it sucks a little because without standards, everyone just does what’s expected or what other people want from them. it’s stupid. you should have standards for at least one thing in your life. no matter how trivial it is, as long as you have standards, you have some sort of peace.

Standards are everywhere. They dictate just about everything that we as human beings due. They are the silent rulers of our lives. Standing prominently on their ancient thrones, they frown upon the individuality of human nature.

There is a standard by which everyone should live there lives. You want to set a standard for the way you treat others, the way you want to be treated and the example that you set for others.

When one person loves another, they become entranced in the idea that they are something special. When one person loses a loved one, they become entranced in the idea that they are something unique. When someone fully reaches consciousness, they become completely in love with the idea that they are more important and what they think actually matters.
In reality, these things have happened to everyone. In reality everything is just standard.

I’m pretty much just your standard-issue type of girl. I painfully try to go out of my way and attempt to be unique sometimes, but being a ‘geek’ is really just throwing me into yet another category that a thousand people share. That’s not as dramatic and angsty as I’m making it out to be, though.

Standards suck. They make people feel they need to stand up to unrealistic expectations. These people try too hard to meet these expectations and will never truly become themselves. When people try to live up to standards they get lost in the daily motions society wants them in, therefore never truly becoming who they were meant to be.

standard. I dunno, standards, like education. I can’t believe how many standards there are. double standards. I hate those things. i had an ex girlfriend who used to always pull double standards on me and be like “sorry, double-standard!”

What is a standard? Standard of living, maybe? In our world, is that really so great? We have people dying from everything from poor water quality to preventable diseases. Children in Africa are dying from diseases that have been prevented in the US for years. I wonder sometimes.
