Duncan's latest entry
Upton, UK
Just about to head back to Maidstone after spending 3 weeks with great friends.
Highlights from these 3 weeks
Scotland - the West Coast is well worth a visit, scenery is fantastic. Distillery tours are good, but you only need to do one as the process is the same everywhere, just go in and do the tasting! (I can hear the howls of protest a…

re: FromellesLobo Very powerful I like how the viaslus are disorienting, which forced me to focus on the words and to deal with my discomfort about the reality presented. People treat kids like unpersons a lot, too, I've noticed. I actually avoid some people I used to spend time with because they're just really disrespectful of my son not letting him finish what he's saying, talking about him in front of him yes, he's 3, but he's very human. Thanks for sharing this; I'm going to send it out on Twitter, too.

re: Arrived in the UKSevda @Crystal Wow, thank you for your great comment and sniharg your experience. I do think degrees are useful but so is constant learning and retraining where necessary (as you highlighted in your own experience). Asking the question if a degree is necessary is a great way to start a rich conversation. Yes, a degree is a great insurance policy, yes, it teaches you skills that you can take forward, if you are so inclined, to start a profitable business. There are exceptions to the rule but they are exactly that, exceptions. Thanks again for taking the time to share your story!

re: KonzHedo @RobertDempsey@Ameena Falchetto @RAAckerman So it's more like we are focusing on mankig children more empowered and somewhere focusing that they have an idea of what they are getting into before they actually get into it. I mean, how many of us knew EXACTLY what we wanted when we were 17 yes, that's the age we (following the Indian curriculum) leave school and move into college. It's just a natural progression. But there isn't a strict system of how we choose our further course (aptitude, interest and the likes). There are entrance examinations and merit criteria but there is even money and people can actually buy their seats in college. Having a clear cut decision is a tough call; but that's the most important in a way
re: photo from 15 September 2012Ydis , You teach your children about God in your homes and we will teach them rdinaeg, writing, and arithmetic'. What we see today is a nation that began with a faith in God to a nation that has endevored to outsmart God. How's that worked out so far? Ask the Isrealies.
