HELP! @ school: comments from boys to 8yo ASC daughter

Post Reply New Topic

@cubedemon, "It takes a whole village to raise a child". Society & community in the UK was effectively demolished in the 80's when money became more important than people, and selfish individualism became, it seems, a good thing. Add to that the attitude of entitlement and self-righteousness pervading and pumped into the national psyche and what we have is an amoral sinkhole where it seems some people expect to be praised simply for breeding successfully, but I digress...

Like I said previously, we are wrapped up in either surviving or aggrandising our own lives according to the current popular moral compass, and our inattention sets an example that our kids learn from without our realising it. Kids are amoral by nature, until they are brought to an understanding of right & wrong, but example is a more powerful teacher than argument, I feel.

Gods, I'm a cheery soul tonight I'm meant to be agreeing with you, not delivering a bl**dy lecture! Lol. Sorry about that

Don't worry torque, we all have those moments. If they had a Mrs Angry title I'm sure I'd pass the test on many occasions!

But you are right. Society depresses me deeply when I look at what type of people are the majority. And I don't even mean NTs on this occasion. The chav underclass mentality is all-pervading and this is probably who they were referring to when they said humans are becoming less intelligent. Once when I was about to be homeless, I rang the council and they asked me if I was pregnant - it would appear that this was one of the rules, no wonder they are all having sprogs to get housed. It's worse than just all out for what they can get, it's all out to see how much crime and lawlessness they can get away with and make money off of. Oh get me down off my soap box...

Cube, have duly read, and PM'd you.

Whirls (?) I now have to stifle the urge to call you "Spinny", lol. "torque" has to be the coolest contraction of any name I have used anywhere, I may (from sheer vanity and self aggrandising smugness) have to sign my posts with it henceforth! It's also so hideously apt, it gives me chills.

"torque"

(f**k, yeah, that feels soo cool)

Cube, I'm going to read your links now, as I've only just found your post. I think the UK is an only-very-slightly-watered-down-in-some-ways mini America anyway, so most of what you comment on about the USA is likely to apply to us here too. It's embarrassing that some Prime Ministers here have seemed like Presidential lap-dogs, unable to think for themselves and we are tied to the US in many ways (all your chains have invaded us for starters ).

Torque, arrghh, not "Spinny" whatever you do, that's reminiscent of some withered old spinster or something. I usually shorten it to WM (nicely enigmatic huh!) I thought torque was the first part of a two-part username? (I did wonder what the "mada" meant but thought maybe it had some Spanish influence (I must be thinking of the Armada...I crack myself up at times ). Good luck for today BTW.

"Whirls" it is then, lol. WM is too dull and professional, imo.

Torquemada was a big cheese in the Spanish Inquisition (NOOOOOO-one expects the Spanish Inquisition!) but I've actually taken it from 2000AD comic from my youth, as my cat already has the cooler name from that particular strip, and it's the name of the uber-cool and nasty space-villain. I just need a Motorcycle I can call Thoth (with a basket on it for Nems) and my little adolescent sci-fi fantasy world would be complete *sigh*



torque


yup. Still working.

I thought you meant cheese as in the food cheese. I took quite a few moments and reading your message twice before I realised what you meant!

Well there goes my Aspie moment for the day.

About the problems with the skirts and dresses that was mentioned in the beginning. I have the same problem too, I am used to e very mobile, so when waring dresses or skirts I simply dont think about avoiding stuff, when people can see below that.

If I may offer you my solution.
