7. I've found MORE in my old books than I will ever find on DU (or google, et al).....
learning/using the latest techology may be perceived (by whom?) as 'cool', but that doesn't mean it's 'good'.

8. Hell.....my whole "belief system' was formed before DU......I'm starting to think that
DU *MAY BE* be dangerous to 'independent thought'.....although I must admit, that i'VE NEVER learned so such, so quickly....in my life....as I have at this site.

Peace,

Porque puedes aprender mucho aquí, si abra la mente. No estoy de acuerdo que DU es peilgroso al pensamiento independiente.

Si tu pasa tiempo de traducir esto utilizando un diccionario, entonces ésa es la prueba que DU hecha que tu abriste la mente. :D
