Yay, thank you Mimi. I've not long since been gifted some cyber cheesecake. I won't be able to move soon. laugh

I hope you and yours are all well. bouquet

What is it about some people having no profile pic that bothers you?

You're not just saving money, but the environment, too. If were all careful about the small things, it would save a lot chemicals being used to make the sponges and reduce landfill. handshake

RE: The Wind

Anger is there for a reason and should maybe be evaluated rather than suppressed.

Historically, it's not been socially acceptable for women to express anger (oppressing people creates anger, and yet the last thing you want an oppressed group of people to do is get angry). When women cry it may represent a multitude of emotions other than sadness and it may often be tears of rage. Narrative studies have shown that this is evident across many cultures, but the more oppressed women are in a culture, the more they express their anger with tears, in other words, socially acceptable crying.

In which case, perhaps it's oppression which blows out the light of the mind and its the recognition the emotion of anger which sheds light on the mind.

What do you call someone who loves the wind? Have you ever noticed how dogs and children (and Jac the Grippers) get all hyped and excitable when the wind blows high?

RE: Man Walked with Dinosaurs

What if beliefs cloud objectivity and lead to scientific fraud?

Sir Isaac Newton, as I understand it was thought to be a bit dodgy in later life, perhaps due to dementia.

Gregor Mendel, the father of genetics, although he made a massive contribution was thought to maybe be a little biased about assessing the wrinkles in his peas in order to fit his theory.

From the OP, there is not enough information to know who might have been less than objective and the alleged shouted rejection of religion could have been about objectivity, rather than suppression of beliefs, couldn't it? dunno

Not that I'm denying the possibility of academic hierarchy, ethics, protocol, funding, or ego.

RE: Younger men

You say, "I'm not interested."

Alternatively, tell them you know their mother and you're going to tell her what they've said. giggle

RE: #6 -people on dating sites that are not ready to b

So, if I see two, or three black men stealing it's okay to imply that similarities can't be denied based upon group belonging, whilst at the same time denying categorisation?

It's a metaphor. I used it metaphorically.

And you may choose who to have a relationship with. Stop trying to blame women you don't like for being on dating sites, rather than you taking responsibility for your choice in partners.

PS. We're women, not 'females'. You're not determining the gender of hamsters here. roll eyes

RE: #6 -people on dating sites that are not ready to b

I don't know if what you're sensing is right, or wrong. giggle

You are entitled to your own feelings, however. It's up to each of us to work out which bits we're sensing from internal stimuli and which bits from external stimuli.

I can't see much in the way of hair on his head, so I guess he didn't want his armpits to drip on me as he closed in for the smooch.

He's a proper gentleman, see? giggle

RE: #6 -people on dating sites that are not ready to b

You have no control over what others do.

You only have control over your own choices.

You could choose to learn from your experiences and make better relationship choices for yourself in the future.

You can't stop women who are incompatible with you from being members to save yourself the bother of making wiser choices.

RE: #6 -people on dating sites that are not ready to b

If you see someone kicking an elderly person to the floor, they've done nothing to you. Would it be ethical to walk on by, or would you think it right to defend them?

You haven't just talked about individual women, you talked about British and Jamaican women - that's whole groups of women.

People are rarely completely self-aware and self-actualised. I'm wondering why you expect them to be. dunno

Personally, I think being a member of a dating site enables and facilitates personal development for many people. I think that's a good thing. It's up to you how you use it and whether you choose to learn from it. It's not up to you to change it for your convenience.

RE: A Matter of Execution

The state behaving humanely is about the victims. If the state sets the example that inhumanity is justifiable, then perpetrators will justify inhumanity to themselves.

There are also those related to victims of crime, who would be further traumatised by the perpetrator becoming a homicide victim, supposedly on their behalf.

There is also no evidence to suggest that the death penalty is a deterrent to those likely to commit capital crimes. You don't need to preach to the converted.

There is evidence to suggest that the incidence of capital crimes is highest in the places where capital punishment exists, perhaps bringing us back round to setting the tone of societal behaviour. dunno

I've often wondered why they don't use the same stuff used to put down animals. It's so quick.
