My 15 yr old great nephew does NOT know how to write cursive! They don't teach it in school except as applied to a signature. He prints EVERYTHING! This is disturbing to me. Working carefully on good cursive handwriting...

Xane_Anstrit "Our literacy rate is humiliating"...We have a literacy rate of 99% for male and female. No country on Earth has a literacy rate of 100%. I'm not trying to insult you here but if you started slacking as a Sophomore that's pretty pathetic. Your response also...

Xane_Anstrit Most people prefer to print because the legibility of cursive to some people (especially if they are dyslexic or have another learning disability) is very low. Personally I sometimes make me e's to skinny so they end up looking like an i or something. Schools...

This may be strange question, and some of you may find it creepy. I am not a violent person, but I think this is an interesting one. Here is the scenario. A mad stranger with a loaded gun is going wild shooting everyone he...

Xane_Anstrit I'd first of all try to negotiate with him, if it doesn't work I'd keep talking to him while slowly grabbing the weapon near me and try to catch him off guard. If the weapon is a knife I'd first cut his hand, then just take the gun away. If it's a gun I'd...

I've been looking for this song for quite a while now, I think it's by Punjabi MC. It starts off like "Bhangra vich mundai paun boliyan. (chorus) Bhangra vich mundai paun boliyan. Nachde de ne sara bon bon dholia. (chorus) Nachde...

I know I do this all the time, but do any of you check to see if there are hacks/cheats for a game before you play it? I think the unfair advantage over other players is kind of fun. What are your guys/girls thoughts on this?

Xane_Anstrit Some games are getting harder though, Ninja Gaiden 2, Devil May Cry 4, the next-generation games are a lot harder than something like Pac-Man.

This is probably a little late and I'm not sure if it has already been posted but, do you guys think Palin is ready to be in the White House? Personally I think she's an idiot along with Biden, and like most politicians you just...

Xane_Anstrit I'm not trying to say this in an upset tone, but what you said works against McCain and Palin as well. Palin doesn't have experience, in an interview on CNN she was asked "What newspapers do you read", she responded "I read a lot". Then following that she was...

Last time, I made toast, it was really burnt. I got really busy and left the toaster oven on too high for a minute too long and it really burned good! Ordinarily, I would have simply scraped off the burned part, but...

Xane_Anstrit I've never had burnt toast, and I most likely will never eat burnt toast.

Xane_Anstrit My mother tongue is Punjabi and I remember enough of it to carry a conversation (I came to the States when I was 4), I am learning French in high school, I have a cornucopia of a vocabulary for English, and I know some Spanish.

When I was a kid, my mom insisted on cooking Brussels sprouts every week. Brussels sprouts taste really bad! At least the way she cooked them. I hated those things, but she wouldn't take no for an answer. Once she...

Xane_Anstrit "Fight free" I don't think such a thing exists anymore in public schools (especially middle schools). If you were by yourself you would get challenged by someone, if you were hanging out with the "nerds/geeks" you'd get challenged. I was a "nerd", but I also...

Xane_Anstrit I suppose you can say I had my first girlfriend when I was in 1st or 2nd grade. I didn't really think of her like that (too young). My first "official" girlfriend was in 5th grade though.

Xane_Anstrit That's an interesting perspective on life. You're mom makes sense on that statement "everyone needs a shoulder to cry on". For some people though shedding a tear is simply unthinkable. They've been traumatized, no ones been there for them, to people like that...
