    Ok so no way to prove it.. but I was going to say never heard of quaddle, If there isn't a word of that kind then you can patent it and become rich.

    Adaydreambeliever replied to What valuable lessons have your enemies taught you?:
    I've never had any enemies until now.. which is kinda odd to have one at my age! I have learned not to trust, not to believe people always mean well... they don't... It's a hard lesson to learn and I would wish I hadn't had to learn it at all.

I get most of my *opinions* on America and Trump directly from Americans and backing this up with the Times newspaper. I will confess, I know next to nothing about Hilary, other than that she is married to her husband the ex prez, who has quite a reputation in his own right.. My logical nature tells me that whenever we say, she is a war hawk or something similar - this can only really be opinion or conjecture as she wasn't elected.. Trump was... and he has offended half the world, not only with the tariffs, (the broad ethos of which I have some sympathy with but concerns on an economic and goodwill level) but in calling other countries very offensive names and belittling other leaders, (including Theresa May). He has angered several nations to the point where it nearly started a war.. and it's also true to say that military action has resulted under Trump's presidency. What's hard at this point is to say whether Hila...    less

    Thank you for clearing that up. But oh gosh I am shocked that Hilary is a secret commie.. She is disguising that very well I think because the Ruskies sabotaged her campaign and made it clear they wanted Trump to win.. I am guessing that was just to fool us.

I think there are a fair few of them about.. and always were.. just in some places they aren't allowed to act without impunity... like in the UK we have the prevent programme which may have a lot of critics but it doesn't just tackle terrorism but also extreme right-wing activists.. If you think about why.. it's because both groups work by spreading extremist, hateful, hate inducing propaganda - they work by brainwashing people.. Personally, I believe them to be just as dangerous as the terrorists because both seek to destroy peace and normal lives.    less

In the interests of fairness should you not open this question up to dead people too? The obvious answer is there are equal numbers.. even if a man has a second family with a woman or vice versa.. .even if the baby is conceived by artificial insemination. I generally answer without reading other people's responses - I do this so that my answer is uninfluenced by others. However, in this case I looked at what others said.. I looked at what you said... I don't think we have any stats on it really...But if we are going to exclude dead fathers and mothers... then we would also be excluding men who were fathers because they donated sperm, or because they didn't know that someone became pregnant?

And I wondered too as on another site a guy has accused me of being a man. It's ok, I find it quite funny but when I looked at his profile he had no pic, had hidden his replies and his friends list.. That's ok too but it made me wonder, some people feel they need to hide everything and other's pretty much seem to feel they've nothing they don't want to share.. That's really quite interesting to me  less

Especially Randy D, who I know has seemed quite cross on a previous occasion where I mentioned his name in a post. But I wondered, just what the great and wonderful Randy D, (respected and admired by myself and others) would make of my assignment! If he didn't die of boredom through reading it, I am sure he would make mincemeat out of the grammar! He'd have the time of his life correcting all those grammatical errors! And I might even gain a few points when it gets handed in to my tutor :P Mind you, I'd need to re-draft it to get rid of all those crossings out and red-ink marks :P  less

And it doesn't bother me in the least - indeed I welcome it...So, what have you become better at? PS, I should be going through one of the books I read and finding stuff to reference, so I am procrastinating; clearly I haven't got better there!  less

    One of Orwell’s most important messages in 1984 is that language is of central importance to human thought because it structures and limits the ideas 
    The aim of manipulative language, whether used consciously or unconsciously is often to narrow the range of thought – to control it in some way. In other words the language that is used and how it is used, undeniably has an impact, or seeks to have an impact on the thoughts of the recipient.
     
    Manipulative language is a form of coercion. Definition: noun Definition: compulsion, pressure: browbeating, bullying, constraint, duress, force, intimidation, menace, menacing, persuasion, strong-arm tactic, threat, threatening,

Trump was... and he has offended half the world, not only with the tariffs, (the broad ethos of which I have some sympathy with but concerns on an economic and goodwill level) but in calling other countries very offensive names and belittling other leaders, (including Theresa May). He has angered several nations to the point where it nearly started a war.. and it's also true to say that military action has resulted under Trump's presidency. What's hard at this point is to say whether Hila...    less

  • Thank you for explaining..I think this is quite a deep subject.....  moreThank you for explaining..I think this is quite a deep subject..I think we agree somewhat and it's just a philosophical difference rather than a fundamental one.. Racism is everywhere.. that's for sure, even in the UK where things are slightly better.. it still exists.. but where the sticking point is that I don't believe that this means we are all racists or that we are racists because race exists; they seem two different things.. This is my thinking, there is discrimination against women and against those with disability or difference... does that make us all discriminators? No.But perhaps you are saying when you say racism exists because there is race? One could think that in some way you are almost blaming other races for our racism... but I don't think you are saying that.. I think, you are saying that if there weren't other races then there would be no racism?

I think sometimes the very slight language differences can be confusing. In trying my best to answer, some very interesting points you make, whether to me or generally, I am not sure that racist is the same as recognising racism.. I really don't know whether exclusion exists only because race exists.. I think it would take a better person than me to answer that - it's abit philosophical I think.. But my feeling is that seems to be a lot of exclusion and discrimination - and if it's not race it's something else, disability, gender, sexual orientation, hair style, clothing choice.. I am not sure whether that means that human nature is just that way inclined or whether we can be better human beings and not be that way? Lastly.. your point on d...    less

However, in this case I looked at what others said.. I looked at what you said... I don't think we have any stats on it really...But if we are going to exclude dead fathers and mothers... then we would also be excluding men who were fathers because they donated sperm, or because they didn't know that someone became pregnant?
