The cover doesn't always tell everything about a person's knowledge; manners might be so-so even on an educated person.
I think this is a good question for debate. I just personally feel that whatever education one has, it's better to be more modest about it. Just my opinion ... Some educated people have actually bad manners when they boast about the schools they've gone to etc.
I think that's bad taste; I think your actions in everyday life count more than the schools and education you've received. And I know people who have good education but poor everyday skills or know-how powers.

Big Al;725974 said:Our bodies and our minds are designed specifically to cope with suffering. The human has the capacity for more long term physical endurance than any other mammal, and our minds have the ability to plan far ahead and for abstract contingencies. Man has attempted to elevate himself above the brutality of nature, but it can be seen that even in the absence of survival-type challenges man's mind will create new forms of suffering to impose upon himself.
LONGERDICK7+;725980 said:Agree that s the reason some civilizations "prevailed" and some others didnt .We can take more long term physical endurance than any other mammal that is true.But as you have stated we have created new forms of suffering that we impose upon ourselves...And unto others too

doublelongdaddy;726363 said:Remember what was said by Jesus and I am paraphrasing; "There will be wars and earthquakes, famines and disease, nation against nation, but remember, these things must happen before I come, these are the start of the birthing pains"
LONGERDICK7+;726394 said:Yep what else do we need to see, evry thing is so devastated,destroyed not only the material world but the spiritual world too
doublelongdaddy;726443 said:Both Spiritual and Physical world are screwed. It is so important to follow the Bible and ignore man's version of God's word. The Word of God is sufficient, nothing added or taken away, it is perfect. The only time the Word of God suffers is when man pollutes it!
