The one thing I realize with the youth of today
|
The texts I get from my parents are usually something like " " or "testhallo ".
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
Psalm 14, KJV revised edition
One thing noticeable to me is when I lived with my mom I always, always, always said "I love you" first. Since I have moved out she says it first half the time.
  Grrrr... I'll tell you what wrong with today's youngsters; It's all of the sexting! In my day you wrote a fellow a nice pornographic letter, if you wanted his attention! *cough, cough**cough* 
Thanks for bunching us all together there.
"He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster. For if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes unto you."
Just joshing, Jello.

It involves communication and a good application of knowledge. Reading and writing skills are definitely something you can explain away with intelligence. It's how I'd explain why humans have the best reading and writing skills in comparison to the other great apes. The way people acquire skills is by learning which requires at least some form of intelligence. There's a difference between claiming that if you can't read or write properly that you're not intelligent. (Which is what I'm not saying and I explained in my last post). And saying that mastery even of your own language, reading and writing skills are signs of intelligence. Learning, application of knowledge, communication, creativity and memory are some of the defining characteristics of intelligence and are definitely required for reading and writing skills. Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them. Impersonation is treason.
