    Fruit trees in peoples' backyards

    I have asked people and they don't have reservations about the "safety" aspects of eating what is produced by their own trees. In fact they believe what is grown in their gardens is organic, free of chemicals and therefore better and safer than what is available in stores. My initial...

    Fruit trees in peoples' backyards

    I have observed that increasing numbers of Americans seem ashamed of picking fruits from their fruit trees. Eventually all the peaches, apples, apricots, and other fruits fall to the ground. These fruits are delicious! But they go waste. This happens every year, year after year. People almost...

    Best way to learn French and speak it like a French person?

    She is currently in Nevada. I don't think there's any French language TV or radio there. There are plenty of Mexicans around her and she's surrounded by Mexican culture, so yes, Spanish would definitely be easier to pick up than French. But what makes her already very mad is that people mistake...

    Best way to learn French and speak it like a French person?

    What's the best way for someone to learn French and speak it with the correct accent, i.e. speak it like someone in either France or Quebec, preferably France? - Given that the person is likely to be immobile in a nursing home for at least the next few years, so no university, no study abroad...

    Do you agree with multiculturalism?

    Response to the OP's question: Re: "Mass immigration to USA damages the countries that receive the immigrants." Agree that Europeans have damaged American culture. As a 'full-blooded' Native American, I must mention that the correct name for America is Turtle Island and the culture that has...

    Programs Which Online Bachelor's Degree is Best for a Talented Student in a Nursing Home?

    - No one is bad-mouthing UM. It's acknowledged to be one of the finest universities in the country. However, UMUC is the one that has the bad reputation. - She's lives in Nevada. Kinda isolated from everything. The closest university is actually in Utah. - A university in Utah I know won't...

    Programs Which Online Bachelor's Degree is Best for a Talented Student in a Nursing Home?

    I googled and found some threads by professors - their consensus was UM-University College was of very low reputation. This isn't my opinion. Then I asked an advisor at the Univ of Michigan who said the same thing. I agree a compromise must be made but she says she will either study at a...

    Programs Which Online Bachelor's Degree is Best for a Talented Student in a Nursing Home?

    Checked again. Same story. UIUC, the main Illinois campus in Urbana unfortunately isn't the one that offers online degrees. The lesser-known campuses do. And apparently Univ of Maryland University College actually has a bad reputation. There are good schools like Stanford that offer online...

    Programs Which Online Bachelor's Degree is Best for a Talented Student in a Nursing Home?

    Thanks. I just checked. It's not Indiana University at Bloomington but lesser campuses like IUPUI and likewise it's not the University of Maryland at College Park but regional UM campuses of lesser repute that offer online undergraduate degrees.

    Programs Which Online Bachelor's Degree is Best for a Talented Student in a Nursing Home?

    Posting this for my niece: She's confined to a nursing home but very talented in statistics and math. She'd like to get an online bachelor's degree from a good university. Do you have any suggestions for her?

    Were Native Americans doomed to be wiped out by disease?

    To the OP: I am a full-blood Indian ("full blood" incidentally is a European concept but anyways) and I have three comments to make: - Yes America (Turtle Island) had several million people and the count is severely underestimated. - You should not believe written histories about us for...
