I’m afraid I will have to disagree again. People can feel alone and be surrounded by many. I feel that there is a difference between inflection, choosing to be alone, wanting to be alone (and secretly not wanting to) and feeling lonely.

I disagree with you. Being stuck in your own internal narrative for far too long, whether you are mentally ill or not, *is* harmful.

Oh wow. New Orleans! I have always wanted to go there. I had an acute interest in that area when I was in my early teens. More so with the French and Haitian influence. It actually spun off from a game that I liked to play!

I have several friends who are schizophrenic. I will ask them directly. From what I can gather from previous conversations, they actually believe they are talking to another person. Therefore, I believe that the ‘voice’ of inflection is a conscious thing. We humans, by nature, will try to...

This thread has really made me chuckle! Insomuch that the initial question I put ‘out there’ has been completely overlooked in favour of debating over the commercial (and often political) manipulation of stats! Brilliant. We can back fill and link to my time travel thread, perhaps?! 😂

They may be stuck on the ‘fem’ prefix?

You can and indeed people do. Advertising is a good example. ‘A study of 50 women found that this particular had effectiveness for 95%’. Mathematics may be sound, but application to product muddies the waters somewhat.

I have just had a browse at threads. There do not seem to be many women on here. Why do you think you wouldn’t have ‘gotten away’ with the comment I made? Eta: I have my thinking cap on now. Referring to those people as merely ‘boys’ may be emasculating? Words are extremely powerful tools.

Just off the top of my head - I remember a quotation “Beware the statistician“. I can’t quite remember where from. If you are clued up on statistics, you will know that they can be manipulated. Stats vs logical argument can and are subjected to bias based on the number cruncher.

That is just looking at things from a mathematical standpoint re averages. Where have you collated data re ailments, quality of life etc? Being ‘alive’ and enjoying living are a different kettle of fish. Enrichment vs the daily grind - that’s applicable to all, no matter what age.

Feminism is about equal rights. Males are born with more privilege. If we are all born equal, then there wouldn’t be so much hoo-hah over abortion laws, periods etc. I suppose it links into why I don’t like labelling. As humans, we like to organise things as a general rule. You cannot...

If you were not aware - TERF is an acronym for ‘Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminist’. Has being PC gone too far? Why should bio women forgo protecting female spaces? If I’m at the gym or pool, I don’t want to see Susan parading around in the changing room with her gentleman vegetable on show...

I agree with you. It’s particularly used to control women, in my opinion.

Roquefort. Most definitely.

I have one at work because I have arthritis mainly in my back. I definitely find that it makes a difference.

Cheers 😊

Me. It’s clearly made of cheese and all the cheese is mine. Fin.

Awesome! I have been in many forums over the years. Thank you. It’s always good to have a little discussion, debate and also sometimes a rant!

Thank you. Silly is also great!
