Maybe they changed it . It used to be easy. All navigation is on the top bar with dropdowns. It has all kinds of great features too like atmospheric backgrounds foryour poems etc. Great site. Was the allpoetry site?
I have no problem communicating with people of any culture or in any language. I have done it many hundreds of times. I twist nothing. Your English does need improving if you cannot see that you break several of the rules of CS every day.
Alex the topic here was how you will have the rules of CS explained to you and not about how you drive.
Leave the driving analagy out of this it isn't appropriate to the subject.
You asked about unwritten rules. I tried to explain that to you before you went on your driving metaphor again.
Well here is a writtren rule:
Rule 2 is about complaining like you do all the time about how the site is handled.
Rule 2: Don't even think about bashing this site or the moderators here. This is a free site...if you don't like the way things are handled here, you are free to leave.
You break this rule regularly............Rule : 3Let's keep the threads positive.If you don't like what someone is saying in a thread, stay out of the thread.
And this is the rule you break all the time : .........Rule 12: Treat others the way you would like to be treated – with respect - be polite, considerate, with no personal attacks, name calling, harassment, bad language. This is a place for discussion, debate, even disagreements – but not arguments just for the sake of arguing or aggravation.
So stop arguing with us about how the site should be run and either enjoy it for what it is or leave, as the rules say.
The basic rule Alex, is that people come first. Their needs , their wants, their preferences. We consider them in everything we do on here, as we would in real life. Making other people happy becomes a habit that makes us happy too. We make friends, and we all get along with each other, then no one complains. So when you are going to do something, think for a minute, will this piss somebody off?. Am I disrespecting somebody?, Am I offending someone, or Will it make people happy?
I'm not saying you have to be a people-pleaser all the time. You have, and are, entitled to your own opinions, it's just that your opinions seem to be mostly about rules and not how people feel, except yourself, and you tell people all the time how you feel.
Well we matter too Alex. We are all as valuable as each other , so it's important we treat each other with consideration and respect, regardless of what the rules say. Everyone is happy then including you.
Many people say things in posts that sound quite serious but they are often not being serious, the clues are in the emoticons usually. The other way to tell if someone is joking is to watch how they respond to others and see how others respond back to them and then you will find out their sense of humour, and know not to take offense when something sounds wrong to you.
I feel the same way about my life. I am contented and happy and take each day as it comes and look after myself sufficiently enough to meet each new day with a smile of anticipation. I don't have a partner but love and appreciate my kids and friends and enjoy the time I spend with them without needing more. If I had a partner he would be included in the love and harmony I have found with the people I appreciate already. So no changes, just more love to share.
Also main course in a good restaurant is about 15-25 dollars
Clothing is very inexpensive.
The government subsidises school books and uniforms and travel to schools.
If you are unemployed you get an allowance of $300 a week to go back to college plus grants of up to $12,000 per year to help with transport, books, research etc and are allowed to work the summers to earn extra money.
Secondary schools and colleges get 3 months holidays in the summer too.
Teachers here get paid the summer holidays $60-$100 per hour, and can also earn extra by working the American summer schools etc.
Here wages in the hospitality industry work out at about $13 per hour minimum wage for even the worst jobs. Our waiting staff get paid minimum wage and get tips as well.
The average person earns 3 or 4 times that on other sectors.
Most people own their own homes.
Travel is very inexpensive. It can be as low as $25-$50 to fly from here to rome or paris or barcelona or any of the main european cities.
We are an agricultural island so we dont have huge transport costs for everyday produce like veg and dairy products or meat. We have large supermarket chains that provide the rest here in Ireland but are only allowed to operate here provided they use a certain percentage of local produce too so it keeps prices down.
Social welfare paments are $300 per adult per week and maternity medical, hospital costs, dentist, eye tests etc are free for the less well off.
Public transport is free too to older people and disabled people.
Social life pubs, clubs and eating out are affordable.
