Ive said on may occaisions that I learn about twice as much on this forum than I learn in school, and I firmly believe it.
Though admittedly they are few and far between, the serious discussions that we can get into around here are incredibly stimulating. I rarely actually participate, but I always read through the serious threads here. Reading different views from people of every walk of life can really expand your perceptions...I can say for a fact that Ive given more thought to some the topics brought up here than I do for anything in school.
Also, it's made me a better typist and improved my grammar/spelling ALOT, simply through giving me a good reason to practice.
