Mmm; I started about 4-5 years. I'd rather not have the nice cookware warped because the stupid controls got set to Boost for too long.

I guess I did too, but don't remember destroying anything. we didn't let the daughter start until 10 or so... they're spoiled.

As a parent, I'll be planning out how to teach my kids responsibility and survival techniques such as cooking.

As an uncle, I just want my niece to get to the age where I can ruin her with video games.

If I lived around them, I'd probably have to do BOTH for my niece and nephews.

My brother-in-law is a good person.

But he's ***-all useless.

Let's see an observation of a weak study, an opinion piece, more opinions with obscure research references, a blog, and again opinions on research.

But I'll concede that it may have an effect in certain age groups, it still doesn't make art majors credible, or not a waste of time/money.

Yea, in all honesty I worry for my niece as I feel like my sister doesn't put as much into teaching her as she likes to think she does.

That said, I've never raised a child, I don't know the stresses of it so in reality I have no right to judge. Though I do try to teach her what little I can when I see her.

Got through writing half of the Japanese hiragana earlier this month before she lost her fascination with what I was doing on her chalk board. XP

Whether you're ever willing to agree with it or not, there is a possible correlation and even if there wasn't, to completely discredit someone's time/money spent on doing something they enjoy... and on an Pay-to-play MMO fan site? Yea, no.

Yes, but that's not what makes him useless.

He's actually quite good in a professional sense, both in his ministry and in his prior vocation (education).

He's just not much of a practical guy sometimes.

I don't have an issue with somebody wasting their own time and money, but when public institutions, state and federal money is wasted on degrees that are worth nothing, it's kind of a problem.

Kind of the same when private religious schools get the same money, I'm looking at your Liberty University.

There's a difference between wasting time/money on something purely for enjoyment, and doing the same and expect to get respect because you have a piece of paper that says you wasted yours and others time and money.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy a good bit of music, just find the idea that there's entire degrees centered around such things to be ludicrous.

Entertainment is a necessary part of society. People tend to become unhappy if they can only work.

edit: and you'd rather have entertainment provided by people who can do it

Oooh personal attack, how childish. I've never asserted to be an authority on many subjects, much less all.

Arts majors and whether their cost is worthwhile to society or not, or if we should just keep ridiculing them mercilessly.

Wouldn't a GSM based phone work better for you since you're overseas?

They want $172 + $100 termination fee. I could easily do it, but I could get a better phone for that price, so eh...

Probably. Verizon is just being a pain or it would have been taken care of already.

Also you are the one who is overseas >:P

Oh! I want the goofy palm now, and I kind of want an excuse to see Katey Perry live.

What does letting your child explore artistic/musical pursuits and talents have to do with this?

Is this like us discussing hunting/cruelty/magnificent animals, and it degenerated to guns last week?

Ramy laid a trap, and I took the bait.

But the cheese was good.
