Try comparing notes about each school's English and Education departments, for starters. See what kind of curriculum they've developed for training students to be writers and teachers. And get in touch with some alumni who've graduated from the said schools with similar degrees and goals, if...

Way to go, neecy! Do let us know how your advanced physics and calculus classes go! Maybe you'll be a shining CI-implantee scientist in no time, no? ;)

But, Eyeth, nobody has yet asked RaeRae about WHO she wants to teach! (Who do you want to teach and what do you want to teach?) I don't disagree with your report about the decreasing enrollment of students in deaf and blind schools, though. How about mainstreaming or even "special education"...

Nunavut already recognizes four languages: English, French, Inuktitut and Innuinaqtun. Now it is considering legal status for two sign languages, one of them apparently unique to deaf Inuit. If that happens, the territory would be the first jurisdiction in Canada to recognize an indigenous...

I find Starbucks' cup sizes funny, because 'grande' means large and 'venti' means either 'twenty' or 'winds' in Italian. 'Tall' is actually 12 oz., which amounts to one cup and half, not one cup. Starbucks also sell some drinks in 'short' sizes (eight oz.) but they're not listed on the menu.

You must be a subway guy. ;)

Credit cards can be your worst nightmare. They are too convenient and easy. But they are also manageable if you fully know what are the terms and conditions of using them, e.g. what will be the consequence if I withdraw $40 from my credit card. It also helps to know how much money you can afford...

American Express isn't popular as Mastercard is, or so it seems. It sounds like AE was strict about credit card payments. Be careful. Most credit card issuers, if not all, will not explain the terms and conditions in a simple language you can understand. They just expect you to read the fine...

Love your attitude, pek1. If I do get a real estate agent someday, I hope he will be friendly as you are.

Of course. You can always count on my kiosk, open 24 hours everyday, to sell nitrite-free lemonade. If you want cured meat carcinogens, there's another kiosk that sells them right around the corner. Crud! The police's here again. I don't have a vendor's license so I need to pack up and run...

Thank you, Endymion, for answering my question thoroughly. (And clarifying my other statement to pek1!) Your explanation reminds me of how consumers face tradeoffs in everyday life and because of them, they have to make decisions. They also make decisions based on what information they have...

I never said that I was going to invest my hypothetical $12K in stocks. Nor did I claim that information should be free. Let's back up a bit and review my earlier statement. "If I had $12,000 in my pocket, I'd invest it! Information should not come at such an exorbitant price." Are you...

If I had $12,000 in my pocket, I'd invest it! Information should not come at such an exorbitant price. Endymion, if you don't mind me asking... why do most people go to real estate agents instead of going FSBO if they can save thousands of dollars?

:rofl: Glad to see that you guys cleared up a misunderstanding.

Are you saying that women who doesn't live in the U.S. are forced to "wear those stupid pajamas?" I didn't realize that the majority of the world wore them! By the way... I suspect you're talking about the burqa: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burqa

Recently my girlfriends and I have been discussing about credit card issuers. We have compared notes, weighing the pros and cons of each brand, and have reached a conclusion that it depends on the consumer's needs. I'm curious. What brand of credit card do you guys use? And why?

Adium X. :)

I don't mean to be playing the devil's advocate... but here's another question. Does human society help animals?

Boult, you're right. Vegetables can be toxic. So can be fruit. Why? Because conventionally grown produce, such as strawberries, bell peppers, grapes and spinach, are loaded with all sorts of pesticides the average consumer cannot easily identify. They can even be laced with GMOs (genetically...

Hi FreedummyRing, Seeing is not always believing. There's no question about that our planet is already overpopulated and our natural resources are fast shrinking more than they can replenish themselves. Overpopulation in general does not benefit anyone in the long run. In fact...
