RE: ALL AMERICANS MICROCHIPPED BY 2017 ,, ARE YOU READY ?

It's interesting that you accuse me of animosity after your accusations of my ignorance, and not only on this thread. Telling someone to 'grow up' for having a different knowledge, opinion, or experience is also interesting.

Lots of people get accepted into British colleges with less than perfect English and most colleges provide support in this area. Given that English is the medium for worldwide publications, even those in a position of university research have their written English proof read, native English speaker, or not. Being accepted into a British college is no proof that we must understand each other's written word.

On topic: On this side of the pond, parental consent is required for medical treatment of a minor. Only in exceptional circumstances is that overridden through legal process, such as a medical team recommending the life support of a child being withdrawn and the parents objecting in their struggle to come to terms with their unimaginable loss.

So, for example, it's a private, familial choice to have your child vaccinated, or not, although parents are encouraged and manipulated to do so. Am I right in understanding that's not the case in the US and that many child vaccinations are compulsory?

If, on this side of the pond we may decide for ourselves about vaccinations, it's unlikely that within nine months it will be compulsory to have a chip implanted into our children. That kind of legal change will take time and would be fought fiercely through the European Court of Human Rights. That's what it's there for - to maintain basic human rights.

Nah, there's only old grannies here. grin

RE: ALL AMERICANS MICROCHIPPED BY 2017 ,, ARE YOU READY ?

I realise it's difficult when English is not your mother tongue, but you missed the point of my post.

RE: "Grieving"

Perhaps one difficulty with a family grieving is that it raises, or highlights negative issues that were already there within the group dynamic and which go back for lifetimes.

It's perhaps difficult enough to grieve for a loved one if one could simply focus on that grief, without trying to deal with other unresolved issues which also may need some kind grief processing.

It seems like double whammy stuff to me and perhaps there's no "I really suck at it" about it. It's huge and difficult.

RE: ALL AMERICANS MICROCHIPPED BY 2017 ,, ARE YOU READY ?

Article 8 [of the European Convention on Human Rights] provides a right to respect for one's "private and family life, his home and his correspondence", subject to certain restrictions that are "in accordance with law" and "necessary in a democratic society". (Wiki)

I wonder how your claims might be enforceable in nine months time, given that mandatory microchipping of babies would require circumventing parental rights and consent.

RE: IF...

I wasn't aware the vanity thread had been removed, but I did mention it as a deliberate jibe.

It appears to be a vanity, to me, to judge another as being less close to god than yourself.

I thought in the christian religion (the one I was raised with anyway) only god could judge us.

I even thought there was a commandment about not judging one's neighbour, or something like that.

I hope this helps.

On the planet Earth, or possibly as parts of the universe somewhere.

I won't know, because I won't be me anymore. I'll be daisies, or diamonds, or something.

Hopefully daisies. I like them better than diamonds.

RE: IF...

Good, so do I.

Maybe humanity isn't that difficult after all. tip hat

RE: IF...

No worries, there's a whole heap of people, christian and non-christian alike, who are more than happy to be Berri's sounding board right now.

And even take some flack if it gets her through her day, ready to do what she needs to do tomorrow and the next day and the next.

RE: IF...

I'm surprised that 'closeness to god' would involve claiming one is closer to god than someone else.

Wouldn't that be for god to decide, not you?

Btw, how's the 'vanity' thread going?

RE: What would you do?

I misread the 'man or a woman' bit.

I've only ever been in situations where men are attacking women.

I'm guessing the looking cute thing won't work terribly well on women attackers.

If a woman was attacking another woman as you described above, I'd have a good chance of having the upper hand in terms of physical strength and could probably block that way, though.

RE: Honestly

I'm a grandmother.

Try hopelessness.

RE: Honestly

I'm not.

If you lay down parameters, you kinda need to define them if you want a meaningful discussion.

RE: Honestly

My understanding of homelessness is when people have either no accommodation, or insecure accommodation.

Insecure accommodation includes people living in bed and breakfast accommodation, hostels, domestic violence shelters, staying with friends, or family, etc.

RE: Honestly

Your interpretation may be different from mine, or the OP's intention.

RE: The Unknown Factor

What do you think most people are like?

RE: Honestly

Why do you ask about homeless people in particular?

RE: The Unknown Factor

Why do you hate to admit to being mildly autistic?

Why are you fighting it?

RE: Hidden Posts

But that would require the OP behaving responsibly, which is clearly not the case.

All judgements are open to misinterpretation, bias, emotional reactions, whether it's the mods, or the thread author.

Are there any specific guidelines for using the hide/ban options for thread authors?

RE: I do not understand why everytime i chat to someone they seem to be interested and then when they se

So, don't you need to accept that the men you speak to on cam have their own choices in their lives? confused

RE: Hidden Posts

I have explained to one thread author how to reverse the process, but she has chosen not to. I don't know what purpose that serves for her.

Personally, I think posts are better left for all to see. Likewise, perhaps a 'post hider' simple reveals themselves in some way and might be left to get on with it. It's kinda funny. laugh

RE: Hidden Posts

As a thread contributor, you can only hide posts for the time you're on the page. I'm not sure what purpose that's supposed to serve.

As a thread author, you can hide posts which will remain hidden after you leave the page until readers open them. I'm not sure what purpose that is supposed to serve.

dunno

RE: LOVE hurts !!!

Certainly, if you hold on to that and you're determined enough.

RE: First Date

Tell someone where you are going and as much information about your date as you can, like name, address, telephone number, etc.

Tell this person when you are leaving your home and when you get back home.

Let them know if you decide to go anywhere else during the evening with your date.

When meeting up with someone I've met online, I've always texted my friend the moment we've met up. I've told my date I have an over-protective friend and I need to let her know he doesn't look like an internet axe murderer. My dates have found it funny and have never taken offence. If anyone had taken offence, I would have left.

Women are generally more vulnerable when meeting strangers. If a man can't appreciate that, he's not worth dating.

Stay safe, have fun. wave

RE: First Date

Expect to be treated with respect.

Expect to meet in a public place and stay safe at all times.

Expect to leave if you don't get the above.

RE: First Date

Perhaps people make their own choices about what a relationship is. wink

RE: CS impact on your life?

Yeah, it's certainly allowed me to take a journey of personal development. wave
