RE: Trust or no ...

Ahhh sooo you're doing a course and getting us to do your homework for you??? tut tut

Isn't ego basically fear...and born out of the need for self preservation? Else we'd be extinct by now, alleaten by those really cute spotted tigers

RE: Trust or no ...

We can think ourselves into illness..does that mean we can think ourselves better again?

RE: Trust or no ...

people tell you in all sorts of ways if they're trustworthy or not..learning how to listen to what people are really saying helps

RE: Trust or no ...

oh well spotted bodleign

RE: Exercise...;)

hold your hand up. Counting your fingers from your little finger on one hand all the way to little finger on other hand...

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. on first hand then 6. 7. 8. 9. 10 on other hand..



Now count backwards ... starting at the little finger that was 10

10, 9, 8, 7, and you should arrive at your thumb, 6.

you should be left with all the fingers on the other hand still up..

Basic arithmetic states...

10 - 6 = 4.

So how come you still have five fingers up?

Hard to explain via writing, so I hope that makes sense...

RE: Exercise...;)

God yeh, bet that's the right answer....

RE: The things that are visible but in reality do not exist.

I've seen loads of double rainbows and a few triple. , when you come from a country where it rains almost every day ya it's a certainty you'll see stuf like that.

What was really weird was something else, the drive to work was sometimes atop the clouds with nothing to see but the tops of tall trees..it was actually really dense very low lying fog but the most surreal feeling ever..

Another one was seeing the trees breathing, again on the way to work very early morning, clear sky and a faint plume of breath-like cloud , similar to your breath on a very cold day...if you didnt' look closely you'd almost miss it.....

Lots of interesting stuff out there in the natural world if only people just took a moment to stop and look...

RE: What makes humans unique compared to other species?

not so, my son's girlfriend's dog thinks us humans are all there for his entertainment ...and his entertainment only....

Ants keep, farm, and milk aphids....not entertainment per say...but.....

RE: What makes humans unique compared to other species?

Any species that becomes prolific will do damage.. it's inevitable..

But yes, the damage we're doing is far beyond what any animal can or could do...and will take thousands of years for the planet to fix itself after we're gone...

RE: Thread for Autistics.

Nope, can't see it in there anywhere.....mustn't be in the lexicon....

RE: Abusive.......

Define abusive?

RE: Texas school shooting

So?.. I could be from Timbuktu and it'd be absolutely none of your business.. nor am I answerable to you either

You mustn't know the difference between nationality and location either...

RE: GASLIGHTING

The OP didn't ask about it in a domestic violence context though....or any context for that matter...

RE: The things that are visible but in reality do not exist.

I do wonder if some of the posters on here are all there....

RE: Why are people so judgmental ? Are they either

Lets hope not..it's rather entertaining sometimes

RE: Why are people so judgmental ? Are they either

Does that mean you're over your bitter hatred of me then ?

RE: Why are people so judgmental ? Are they either

People being cruel to you on here?

Noooo...I don't believe that for one second...all happy clappy little paragons of virtue on here we are...

RE: Have you ever been searched by the police?

Ah come on Bodleign, you know fine well it isn't...

RE: Are Dying Wishes Sacrosanct?

Personally, I think that's such a personal issue and dying wishes can range from the most simple to the most abstract/complicated it's kinda between the deceased and those they've left behind to decide. Not for total strangers to decide.

RE: where is God?????

I the same but from the opposte end of the spectrum, I can't understand how any one can actually believe there's any such thing as a God..

RE: Do you drive? If so...describe it.

True...I'd rather be galloping a horse up the motorway than a car

RE: Do you drive? If so...describe it.

Who ? me or the car?

blathin. she means the car of course

RE: GASLIGHTING

you don/t' consider domestic violence to be extreme?


Seems we have very different ideas on what constitutes extreme then, because I can assure you I, and most people I know, would certainly consider domestic violence to be extreme... in all contexts...

RE: Texas school shooting

It's not just the young in America. Millions of Americans have been trying to escape the US for decades now...

RE: Texas school shooting

Apparently you can walk into supermarkets in the US and they have guns , for sale, on display, same as uyou would tv's here ..I think if I walked into a supermarket and saw a wall of guns I'd leave and never go back again.....it's mad what some people think is normal...and ok..it clealry isn't but try to tell them that...

RE: Texas school shooting

It is isn't it, so sad and so shocking I just don't have the words for it.

I heard there the other day that there are more guns in the US than people, something like 450 millions and some US politician actually said "guns arent the problem, some back door into the school was left open"..what an idiot...


I know I keep calling the US a lunatic asylum, but this is beyond the pale...

RE: Do you drive? If so...describe it.

I had one of those for a while and they're good cars, strong, sturdy and reliable..but my god, there can't be a duller drive on this planet.... RS5 is far more fun to drive..

RE: GASLIGHTING

who knows Grand...

The word was thrown out there for discussion and us more moderate minded middle of the road people will read/answer it very differently from the people who're completely OTT about everything....

RE: Look like a human vs behave like a human.

I'm inclined to say we're nothing more than an intelligent animal who's rational brain has evolved too fast for the emotional brain to keep up and it's messing with us no end.
