Schools not teaching children to write in cursive?

JenInTN @JenInTN (27514) • United States 26 Apr 11

I was watching the news last night and there was a report that the schools are considering taking cursive out of their curriculum. They say that cursive is not really needed and that it is a lost art. They say that by not teaching...

RMGray Cursive writing was originally conceived of to facilitate note taking, ink conservation (quill and/or fountain pens) and generally fast, 'short hand type' writing. Today, we have evolved these efforts with technology...text messages, emails, etc. The art of...

RMGray Hmmmm...interesting question. Where one should place "blame", I believe depends on ones conceptualization of God. Personally, I believe God is EVERYTHING...all inclusive...including me...in which case, yes, I do hold myself accountable for the negative and...

RMGray Wow...a profound question;-)! I agree, that many probably "parrot" the rants of caring and concern, but I do feel that most people are fundamentally "good" and do care. While I don't mean to get preachy or anything, I believe in what Jesus taught...as well as...

ronnyb @ronnyb (6113) • Jamaica 22 Dec 08

Have you ever heard this philosophical situations, I have and I am always puzzled as to logics behind asking this question. Is it that they are saying it cant make a sound unless someone hears it which to me means that they are...

RMGray heheheh...I've always loved questions like these. My interpretation is this. ALL senses are mere interpretations of the brain. Touch, taste, sight, smell and sound are all captured from the external world, converted into bio-electrical signals and then...

RMGray My experience has been that, with regard to webcams, more expensive DOES NOT necessarily equal better. I bought a Quickcam Fusion which looks goos (about $100) two years ago, but the image quality was severely lacking. Later I downgraded to a $30 Quickcam...

RMGray Trouble sleeping can begin as a mere irritation, but can quickly degenerate into a full blown health problem. You're young, so your body is more resilient than those over 40, however, lack of sleep impacts many areas...not the least of which are immune...

RMGray Antivirus software tends to be highly resource intensive in order to maintain the security of your system. So slower response is a trade off for a safe and functional system. What antivirus software are you using? When I use Windows, I like AVG Antivirus...

What is Consciousness?

ParaTed2k @ParaTed2k (22940) • Sheboygan, Wisconsin 1 Dec 08

Science can't quantify it. Philosophy can't explain it. Religion can't dogmatise it. Spiritualism can only meditate over it. We all know it exists, but only because we know. We can only offer personal experience, but as you...

RMGray You're correct, consciousness is an exclusively personal experience. I assume that the people I interact with are "conscious" in the same way I am, but can I ever really be sure...can anyone? Your post seems more like a statement than a question seeing as...

Should religion be removed from mylot

M S R S Choudhary @choudhary03 (943) • Hyderabad, India 30 Nov 08

Guys i am fed up with discussions which hate other religions. I think the biggest mistake made by mylot is to put up religion. It is helping some people to know about what is right and what is wrong but at the end it is tempering...

RMGray I can appreciate your frustration. The point you make about all religions having a core message of love and acceptance is absolutely true. I have dedicated a good portion of my life to studying and understanding the belief systems of other people and cultures,...

RMGray Hmmm...interesting dilemma, but it seems that it is exclusively of your own making. From my perspective, family planning is an extremely personal issue between spouses. You guys have to make the choice that works best for you. No priest is going to help raise...

RMGray While you ask "...which is the true religion?", you seem to be speaking exclusively of the Christian faith. So it seems you are asking which denomination of Christianity is the correct one to follow. I will answer from that perspective. I personally don't...

Why are people so angry at Christianity?

katran @katran (585) • United States 14 Nov 08

RMGray I believe that a lot of the animosity has to do with the general Christian persona. In my discussions with a variety of people, there seems to be a consensus that Christians present themselves as if they are perfect...as if their way is the only way. The...
