Please share what your favorite subject is and why it is your favorite subject.

My favorite subjects would be Literature, Classics and Music, if I had to choose one, it be would be Literature and Writing. In my opinion, the arts and humanities beat the sciences any day of the week.

My favorite subjects were (not currently studying) Foreign languages and Global Problematics.

Least favorite subject: Physics. It is made of pure evil.

Least favorite subject: Physics. It is made of pure evil.

My favourite subjects are Physics(Specifically Quantum Mechanics and High-Energy Astrophysics) and Mathematics(Specifically Complex Analysis, Calculus of Multiple Variables and Multi-Dimensional Geometry.)

I like these as they, as best I can tell, reveal that which is as close to truth as is possible to reveal at this moment in time. Both fields are also immensely interesting.

My favorite "subject" is the Earth's landforms, landscape, terrain, etc.

I was raised in southern Florida where the land is flat and near sea level. When I first saw the Appalachians I asked over and over "Why is this so different?" Later, when I traveled the western and mountain states, I was absolutely enthralled by Yosemite, Zion, Brice, Grand Canyon, Glacier National Park, Mt. Hood, Devil's Tower, Death Valley, etc, etc.

The Earth sciences, geology, geography, physiography, hydrology, meteorology, climatology, etc provided a means to understand or learn about landscape features.

This is an ongoing interest. Earlier today my wife and I visited the highest point in Arkansas (Mt. Magazine, 2753') and studied its materials and development. We live at the foot of another Ozark mountain. Having some background in such things has made our many years of travel (before settling down in Arkansas) very interesting and rewarding.

Interesting. Personally, I have only had very little exposure to pure Geology that would be presented in an Introductory Earth Science class.

Btw, I have been wondering about your name? Are you from San Bernardino, cause I live very close to that area. For the most part, the city has pretty much died up. It's known for being a "bad area" which is comprised of mostly crime and gangs.

I don't consider pure geology (generally taken to mean intensive study of rocks and minerals) to be terribly important in life, but I think that it is criminally negligent that schools do not teach students intensively about the natural world around them (including general Earth science, the environment in which they live). That failure leaves most people to "learn about science" by watching television.

Btw, I have been wondering about your name? Are you from San Bernardino

I was raised in southern Florida (Dade County), but left there in 1958 and have lived all over the US -- in rural areas (dislike cities). So, it is a little difficult to say where I am "from"; however, that does not include San Bernardino (although I have spent time in southern California and Nevada).

Zzyzx refers to primarily to a road intersection along I-15, and a Desert Studies Center (former resort area) -- and one of the most noted five miles of gravel road in the US.

Zzyzx, California (pronounced /ˈzaɪzɨks/), formerly Camp Soda and Soda Springs, is a settlement in San Bernardino County, California. It is the former site of the Zzyzx Mineral Springs and Health Spa and now the site of the Desert Studies Center. The site is also the location of Lake Tuendae, originally part of the spa, and now a refuge habitat of the endangered Mohave tui chub.

Zzyzx Road is a 4.5-mile (7.2 km) long, part paved and part dirt, rural collector road in the Mojave Desert. It runs from Interstate 15 generally south to the Zzyzx settlement.

The settlement is in area code 760 and ZIP code 92309. The nearest town is Baker, California, 7 miles (11 km) north on I-15. Las Vegas, Nevada is the nearest major city, about 100 miles (160 km) northeast.

History

Soda Springs, a natural spring, has long seen human activity. The area was a prehistoric quarry site, and projectile points and rock art can be found in the area. The Mojave Road ran past the spring, as did the Tonopah and Tidewater Railroad. Remnants of a wagon road stop and railroad artifacts are readily seen. Evaporative salt mining and mill sites can be found here as well.

The name Zzyzx was given to the area in 1944 by Curtis Howe Springer, claiming it to be the last word in the English language. Springer made up the word's pronunciation "zi-zix". He established the Zzyzx Mineral Springs and Health Spa in 1944 at the spot, which was federal land, after filing mining claims for 12,000 acres (49 km2) surrounding the springs. He used the springs to bottle his water and provide drinks for travelers through the hot desert. Springer also imported animals from around the country to attract more families to visit his ranch. He used Zzyzx until 1974, when he was arrested by the United States Marshals for misuse of the land as well as alleged violations of food and drug laws[citation needed], and the land was reclaimed by the government.

Since 1976, the Bureau of Land Management has allowed California State University to manage the land in and around Zzyzx. A consortium of CSU campuses use it as their Desert Studies Center.

Quite sure.

Being something of an 'underachiever' myself, I'm rather fond of more socialist economies.
