Let me disprove you by changing the noun in the sentence to something else.

I will admit that I did not bother reading the Wikipedia pages, however, it should also be noted that I was not disagreeing with what you said.

Also, one last thing. A quote from this article: [www.insidehighered.com]

Is it bad I have no clue what this is from?

By no means do I consider myself elitist, and didn't mean to be a citation-monger. However, you may have helped me with my argument here. This particular subject, in a wider scope, could very well be considered controversial. Being the scientific minded person I am, there are things I accept as fact, but when it comes…

No, sorry. However, citing Wikipedia is nothing more that citing a citation. I'm not saying the information is false (although it very well may be), but using Wikipedia as a reference would be comparable to citing a classmates research paper for your own research paper.

For those of you that are stating that there is nothing wrong with the sentence structure used in the headline, you are missing the fact that there is ambiguity in how the sentence can be perceived. Since the sentence can easily mean two very different things, it should be considered grammatically incorrect. A…

Ewoks and Santa are specific examples and were not meant to be general. My main point was that I feel the more imaginative a child is, the more likely that person will be both creative thinkers, and I'll also add open minded here, as adults. And in relation to the article, the initial comment was a reaction to other…

Those just happen to be specific examples. I'm sure your parents had other ways to spark your imagination.

Just to make sure there is no confusion, I am in no way religious, and I consider myself scientific minded. I never said don't tell them the truth, but rather things like this will spark their imagination. Also, let me repeat the claim I made that you are stating is baseless: "Parents that don't encourage children to…

This =/= Hacking. Sorry.

Lying like this is more beneficial than it is harmful. Sparking a kids imagination like this is important to develop creative thinking skills.

As most kids were, when I was young, I was afraid of ghosts and what not. I also at one point believed that most movies and tv shows were some what of a reality (again, most kids probably did/do). After watching Ghost Busters I INSISTED that my parents call them to make sure that there weren't ghosts in my room. In a…

The biggest mistake I made was using financial aid refund checks to buy things I didn't need. It was always an exciting feeling getting a $2000 check in the mail, and depositing it in to my checking account. Now, since I was working while going to school, I didn't need any of that money, considering by the time I…

This stuff should be sold everywhere in hopes to rid the planet of the people dumb enough to ingest rat poison.

I loved The Dinner Game, my 4th year French class in high school watched it. Dinner for Schmucks, however, sucked... terribly.

21 here, got the reference.

This has all happened before and it will all happen again.
