Do Schools Expect Too Much From Their Students?

willfe @willfe (149) • United States 12 Apr 07

Modern American schools, despite (or perhaps because of) all the claims that they're falling behind, pressure our students into all sorts of "extras" that aren't strictly required for graduation (or even admission to good...

cynddvs It sounds to me that this is more of problem of the drama/chorus club rather than her other classes. Her other teachers are right not to excuse her from her classwork or homework. If they did this for one student everyone would be running off to join chorus or...

Ever Realized Just What You're Actually Eating?

willfe @willfe (149) • United States 4 Apr 07

This evening during dinner my friend pointed out to me, as I was eating some delicious fried shrimp, that it had not, in fact, been de-veined. Now oddly enough I knew what this meant and as I examined my knowledge about shrimp I...

lordwarwizard Actually, once you de-vein it, the prawn suddenly becomes very small. (Shrimps actually refer to the really baby version - the very small prawns and they are usually found dried as as some sort of "toppings".) I try not to think too much about the food. If...

Anybody Else Tired of April Fool's Day?

willfe @willfe (149) • United States 2 Apr 07

I may well incur the wrath of my fellow myLotters for asking this question, but is anybody else glad April Fool's day has come to an end? It irritates me that sites like slashdot.org, reddit.com, and plenty of others turn from...

destinyisntfree When I was younger, I thought April Fool's Day was the greatest thing in the world. But now, as an adult, I find it a boring waste of time that could otherwise be spent enjoying the people and things in your life that you enjoy. So many terrible things...

If a person is on death row and gets sick, should they be treated?

littlemissmistress @littlemissmistress (187) • United States 27 Mar 07

I'm sitting here watching an episode of House MD, and he brings up a good point. A man on death row develops a heart problem and needs treatment to stay alive. Should they do so? I am torn on the issue myself. The man is...

Should movie theaters warn viewers about subtitles?

willfe @willfe (149) • United States 24 Mar 07

Pan's Labyrinth won three academy awards, even though it was produced in Spanish and subtitled. It was well-regarded by moviegoers and critics alike. There are some, though, who think the movie studio intentionally "downplayed"...

MntlWard "Oh no! You mean I have to *read*???????? If I wanted to read, I'd go to the library!!!" Should the "R" rating stand for "reading required?" I think it's ridiculous that people would want a "warning" for subtitles.

unusualsuspect I watch a lot of foreign movies on DVD, so I'm used to subtitles, and certainly have no problem with them in the theater. I don't understand why people would pay to see a movie without knowing anything about it. The director is Spanish, the actors are Spanish....

Strawberry_chaos Maybe in a class specificaly on religion, it would be fine to explain intelligent design as a religious theory. But generaly, no! The theory of evolution may not be absolutely perfect, but it's what's scientificaly acceptable.

Fargale Nope. What you did was the only thing you know how to do: copy-pasting. And you changed words in a way that filled your statement with lies. Greatest example: that evolution is "highly disputed" among biologists. Do you insist on that lie? Then try to prove...

littlemissmistress The point of this topic was to ensue debate. You haven't posted a single supported argument, while Fargale has. Try posting proof of intelligent design. I made this topic to find just that.

Fargale Evolution is the best scientific theory explaining the formation of complex life forms according to the evidence we have today. Therefore, it should certainly be taught in schools. Intelligent Design is just a facade to mask what is, in its heart, a...
