    kaylar wrote a new post, Stupidity; not a lack of education 7 years, 8 months ago

    Something happened.  I went to explain it to the ‘helper’ at the office.    Carl was in the hospital.   I was telling the helper about this tragedy, but she had to wash the dishes.

    Now, you catch the funny lit […]

    • Okay first and foremost let me just correct you a bit. No one is stupid it’s just that we are all different and we all act in different ways. There are people who are quick to solving issues, and there those that take time to digest and think of ways to solve the issue. We were all made differently. Maybe the way I do things is not the same way you will do yours, the way I will react to issues is not the same way you will react, there are some things that may be a priority to you that are not to me so with all this examples we cannot conclude that someone is stupid because they were not able to behave or react in a certain manner. I remember i us3d to have a girl who used to help me around the house, she used to be so slow. When you told her to do something she would repeat after you whatever you said and that used to make me so mad, but i would still listen to her and give her instructions slowly by slowly one after another. You could not tell her to do like three things at a go because she could not multitask. Sometimes I used to feek feel like I would tell her to just leave whatever she’s doing get out and not come back. But obviously I couldn’t that would be too inhuman. But you the irony is that even with that slowness she had two kids that she took care of and I didn’t have any at time. So if she had the ability to take care 9f two kids would we still call her stupid? Mmmmmhh that’s something to think about right? Check this out we have two categories of people those who are
      1 Learned and
      2 Educated. The difference between the two is that learned people are those who can be given a situation to solve and they will think with their minds, think outside the box and come up with a solution. And the educated are those who have to use some sort of manual or books for that matter to get a solution to a problem. You see the difference.

    • Let me indicate this; there is such a thing as stupidity. As Einstein said, it is infinte. To be so politically correct to pretend it doesn’t exist is rather like calling a person starving to death a ‘dieter’.
      The ability to prioritise has always been a hallmark of intelligence. There are things every one of us has on the ‘to do’ list.
      If there is a fire in the kitchen, for example, sorting the clothing to be washed should be stopped and the fire put out.
      The fact that the helper is not intelligent is evident in all aspects. I only focus on this one because it is so obvious that a normal intellect would hear a mutual friend was in the hospital and react, not wash the dishes.
      The difference is not ‘learned’ and ‘educated’ the difference is between intelligent and stupid.
      Whether you have a Ph.D or have never been to school is not the measure. Intelligence is the measure.

    Cassy Janine wrote a new post, HOW TO DEVELOP CHILD’S LANGUAGE 7 years, 8 months ago

    Lately, I was scanning my notes during my college days and I found an interesting topic regarding parenting and child development. Below are the questions and the answer of my interviewee when my instructor […]

    • Our daughter grow up surrounded by matured people. I instructed our helper who also is her nanny because me and my hubby are both at the office the whole day, not to baby talk with her.

      Of course she started to be able to talk by those syllables first , Mama and Papa. But what I remembered is her for not long being able to talk straight already meaning no more those like twisted tongue.

      I think that will really happen if all of us will always talk as we talk not baby talk just so the toddler can understand us. It’s actually one way of teaching our babies outgrow their baby talk fast.

    • Parenting has its own challenges. Today the children are very intelligent, shrewd and communicative. One has to be very careful before promising them anything as once you make your promise they latch on to it. They keep reminding you that you did not keep up your promise that registers very well in their minds. Parents have to spend more time with their children but at the same time have to be stern where they are supposed to be and see that the children become independent in their lives.

      One must try his or her best to see that the child gets the best and has happy memories of his or her childhood. Childhood is the foundation based on which the personality of the child is formed. So due care has to be taken that the child gets the support required. Agreed one cannot give all things at all times and the same has to be told to children and they should be made aware of that. Once they understand that concept they will be wise in money matters.

    Cassy Janine wrote a new post, WOMEN’S SELF DEFENSE IS NECESSARY 7 years, 8 months ago

    When we watch televisions, read our newspapers, and browse our nets, there are increasing numbers or cases about women who are maltreated by men. This situation gives awareness that it is important for women to […]

    • Women who work night shifts should be more aware of such safety tips; like what you had said, they should at least carry a pepper spray, a stun gun, a long umbrella, to ward off potential attackers. They can also carry a whistle to call the attention of other people, or a burglar alarm attached to her bag which can drive away those bad elements.

      Learning martial arts, or keeping fit and healthy is also a plus.

    • Yes, self defense and presence of mind are very important for women in today’s world. One has to be alert the moment one walks out of the house till the time one reaches her house after going out may be for studies or for work or any other reason. The potential attackers generally try and figure out who is vulnerable after studying them and their movements well and after making sure that one can get something which they want out of them. If someone knows self defense and uses the same the first reaction of the attacker is he is shocked and taken aback as he would not have expected this from the potential victim as it is like a bolt from the blue.

      Once this happens their confidence level fall a bit and they become jittery unless there are many. It is better the woman after doing this immediately shout or scream for attention or help from other passersby that will further instill fear in these people and they will usually retreat and runaway. The woman has to see her safety and see that she reaches a safe place before calling for the police if required.

    • I do agree of Women’s Self Defense, to be very necessary. Women are faced with dangerous situations on a daily basis. Women have to always be vigilant about their surroundings. There have been women who have been robbed, killed, raped, etc. Therefore, it is important for women to learn self defense to protect themselves from harm.

      There are classes on learning self defense for women to be taught how to defend themselves in many ways. Besides, in my opinion, learning self defense is also great as an exercise. Learning self defense will definitely keep you in shape.

      It is important for self defense to be a part of a women’s life. Developing the energy for accomplishing the teachings of self defense is mandatory in today’s society.

      Sometimes women are placing themselves in dangerous situations, unknowingly or knowingly, and not even realizing it until it is too late. That is why women need to be observant about their surroundings. Self Defense is a good tool for women to have and learn!

    • I agree, one has to be cautious in posting personal matters, photos,etc. because there are so many scammers, thieves, waiting for a clue. It is better to spend time on writing/blog sites like Literacybase.com where your effort and time are compensated.

      • It is so logical one can’t imagine how anyone could miss the chance of writing here, getting comments, and earning… but some people are born stupid.

    • Had he tried , he would love it here because a long post about a minimum of 500 words can earn him .22 while a shorterone , minimum of 300 words, can earn him $.15 . If he is industrious and have lots of time on the net, he can hit more than the minimum amount for the monthly payout.

      Anyway, some people really would snob a writing site at once, because they don’t know yet that writing can give you fulfillment and friends here at LB. Fulfillment, because you got paid and you earn a lot of friends.

      Maybe you should show him your proof of payment. 🙂
