  cognizant dissident,

  I really appreciate all the hard work & brutal honesty you have put into this post. Your persistence in your points clearly

  show your conviction & deep-seated belief. Not often do I say this but your thoughts here will definitely be added to my

  life's plan &approach ! Words to remember 1.choice, 2.giving power 3. crushing words only if we identify &believe

  4.words are not true in themselves 5.no one can take our self-esteem without permission 6.only external esteem can be taken away

  Thank-you !

  I believe that the word crushed does reveal something about our self-esteem, but not necessarily low

  self-esteem but vulnerable spots. We all have very strong & some weaker points which to others may go

  almost unnoticed for the most part,but when they surface seem like a mountain in our mind !

  In my case whisperings of Dyslexia haunt me ! My mind flows with pictures, parallels, illustrations, idioms etc

  Any comments about slowness, spelling, I.Q. etc strikes my heart deeply ! Thoughts are my blessing but words

  can be a curse.

  clsurfer,

  The marriage ties now offically broken, if you confess either party is now free to remarry. There was a question from

  readers topic some years ago about this. You need someone like Blondie to dig it up for you !

  The Butchering of the English Language.

  by Low-Key Lysmith in

  1. social
  2. current

  i am disturbed by the recent trend in the media in america that encourages the butchering of our english language.. i'm talking about examples of film titles like "she hate me", "how she move", & "baby mama".

  does it really take that much effort to add an "s" to the end of a word?

  now, before i am decried as a racist, please note that nowhere in any of my statements have i isolated any particular race.

  The rule/s for linking/intrusive "r"

  What are other vowels that (in any given word that ends with a vowel) (apart from the schwa) precede the following word that begins with a vowel, for linking/intrusive "r" to occur. Example... Canada R is a very large country. It's a British thing !

  Yes blind faith may indeed be a stumbling block, but so is the need for absolute proof

  with the human eye; For you may miss the deeper, more wonderful things of this

  universe that I believe is yet to unfold.

  This video for me was so touching, so revealing. It touches on something that I have

  been looking at for a number of years, that of the function of the human brain which is

  the connection with the physical and the spiritual world. In this video is a person

  with a real life experience with the intellect and credibility to explain it to the world!

  Indeed I believe the thought about the two brains that express the WE or ME. We have

  such untapped power within that is yet to be explained. The power that we all possess

  is to CHOOSE, to use our whole brain to arrive at proper perception, so that we can see

  the proper balance between WE and ME! One day this world will be in a better place;

  I don't know or even understand fully the details I just know it and feel it to be so!
