  1. It depends, mostly on the country you live in. No one in the world speaks Dutch or thinks about speaking Dutch, so as a Dutchie I love the fact that I'm bilingual (maybe even trilingual). If I wasn't taught Spanish, French, and German in school, I would have zero knowledge of it. Now I can follow conversations etc, so for me it's useful. I think that even people from countries like the UK should have basic knowledge of at least one foreign language that's of any importance in this world. It makes it so much easier for you if you do. However, I would have loved to have spent more time on computer engineering since that's becoming increasingly important in today's world. I think it's a decision that needs to be made: What do you want to focus on? If schools give this choice to their students they can decide what they want to follow. If they have more feeling for languages or find that more important, they can choose to follow those subjects. If they don't want to, then they don't. I can see that this will cause a problem because schools will have to have teachers for a wider variety subjects (so more teachers for classes with fewer students. This will cost more money I imagine) than if they simply drop languages but I think that it's better for the students themselves. Do you think current politics should be part of the curriculum in schools? If so, from which class/age?
  2. I really enjoy these things. I'm fairly new to Reborn so I don't really know where the Ancient Rebornians (may I call you guys that?) come from and how they ended up here, so this is nice to read. Please keep them coming!
  3. I now get 0.20% interest on my savings account. Yeah.

      In Soviet Russia, you rob bank. In the Netherlands and Amerika, bank robs you

      Hahaha, that's a good one!

  4. Yes, I do. Sometimes I know I'm good at something or simply better at something than someone else. However, every now and then people need to feel some appreciation from others, so I purposely don't showcase my talents and instead let someone showcase his/hers. It's like it put myself in second place just so that the other will feel good. People might need that from time to time. So yeah, in such cases I choose not to show off and let others take the spotlight. Also, whenever I know I'm good at something but someone else clearly isn't, I just refrain from doing anything at all because it feels unnecessary. I do want to make clear that I don't always act like this. Sometimes I just want to show others how good I am at something, for the same reason that I let others show off instead of me: to feel good/appreciated. Do you think euthanasia should be legal for people who really have lost all hope (e.g. are terminally ill and simply don't want to suffer anymore)?
  5. Ugh. Guess who came back from studying?? Yeah, me... I want Rev here
  6. Quick break from studying. Spine? Back to studying

  9. If you ever need other versions that you don't have, you can use this thread too
  10. You can trade with others that for some reason wouldn't want one I guess. Or have multiple save files and constantly transfer dittos to your main file
  11. Do you tip when you go to a restaurant?

      In the U.S., 15% is generally considered the standard because of the salary issues discussed above.  I'm not sure when or where it started, but it's been that way since before I was born.  Usually most people don't be exact and just leave $3 to $5, depending on the total.  Unless the total bill was huge, that is a good estimate.
