It's important to take time to grieve and it will take as long as it takes. If you feel you have closure when you see your father's tombstone, that's a part of your journey. If you don't, that's a part of your journey.
I hope this vid isn't inappropriate on this blog, but you've got me into them Jim. Hopefully it demonstrates how the world views Trump and that we do not support his callousness.
I've just googled pneumonia on the NHS website and it said it's not generally passed from one person to another.
My sister had prolonged bacterial and viral pneumonia infections at the same time as a child. I was in constant contact with her, but never succumbed myself.
I admire your cautiousness all the same. Not everyone is that conscientious.
I would have thought that was legal language which at this stage would be without prejudice. It's an innocent until proven guilty thing, whilst recognising Sardo might pose a continuing risk.
It doesn't mean he might be allowed to continue illegal acts.
It means that if he's out on bail he'll likely be subject to the condition that he is restricted from going near the property belonging to his relatives.
Btw, the Daily Mail...? It's a tabloid, maybe not for the stupidest people, but for the barely one up from the stupidest who like to read about utter sardos.
The methodology is inherently flawed, Jim. Such is the nature of social science.
That doesn't mean it's not informative, but it's important to bear that in mind.
If I remember correctly, there were more subjects who identified at the liberal/democrat end of the scale than the conservative/Republican end. It would be interesting to understand why there was that skew.
Of the 46.something% of the people invited who didn't participate, or return a usable questionnaire, how many identified as liberal/democrat, independent, or conservative/republican? Was there a skew in political leaning with respect to participants and non-participants? Was the questionnaire more appealing in some way to the liberal/democrat end of the scale, or did the distribution of the participants reflect the political leanings of the invited subjects as a whole?
I could put forward a hypothesis that having a political leaning affects objectivity, in which case the results may be skewed if the sample is.
Also, there was mention of incomplete and unusable returned questionnaires. That's usually indicative of subjects disagreeing in some way with certain questions. Very often that can be because the creators don't understand as much about the subject matter as the participants, especially when dealing with experts in the field.
With this methodology, the non-participants, or partial non-participants can be as important, if not more so than the participants. Unfortunately, non-participation doesn't provide that information.
If every US citizen completed the questionnaire and Trump still came out ranked as the worst president ever, it wouldn't surprise me in the least and I'd be as pleased as punch, but my own opinion doesn't stop me from questioning what non-participation might reveal. Such is the nature of a social scientist.
It's perhaps inherently biased by the sample group (who replies and why) and recency memory/emotional response effects, but it's still clear that Trump is not highly revered.
I thought the polarising results most interesting. Obama, the first black president of a country plagued by a history of racial polarisation, was considered less polarising, or perhaps divisive, than Trump.
It's an excellent video, tatami. It's very honest and enlightening with a unique insight into love and kindness - the essence of life. The flame burns brightest just before it is extinguished.
