Re: Why are women so subordinate
As an aside, I got a strange look from the lady at the Impots when I took in our first French tax return a few years ago because I had put my name first and my husband's 2nd. I wasn't making any point but since I had put all the effort into doing the return it just seemed reasonable :D Our joint ba...

Re: Reincarnation
Life began to pall on the private island with only JSKS and the labradors for company? Felt the need for more civilised conversation? Don't blame you.

Re: The Right To Hate - Please Discuss.....🤔
Thanks, Spider, while I was thinking of how to put it you wrote it. I have friends who think as I do, and friends who don't. I think some of them are foolish, but that's to do with how they express themselves and the quality of their argument. I expect they think the same way about me. Friendship, f...

Re: Why are women so subordinate
Does anyone know any men who have taken their wife's name? I know one who did something similar, though he just appended the second part of her name to his. I won't mention his name, but if Dan Lakin married Sue England and Dan did the same thing, he would be calling himself Dan Lakin-Land. I don't...

Re: Why are women so subordinate
This is called "begging the question". The question "Why are woman so subordinate in this day in age, 90% of woman take their husbands name?" contains an assumption, that a wife taking her husband's name is an example of subordination (not sure that's the right word). But that assumption is plainly ...

Re: The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists
Is that about John MacLean? I've heard it mentioned in connection with his name? No, was written in 1914 by Robert Tressell and is about the life of a group of painters and decorators in a fictional town in the early days of socialism. It’s based on Tressell’s own life as an Irish painter and signw...

Re: Does he ever stop to think?
I think it was thought-through carefully.
This is the approach they're going to take. "We told you to do one thing; we were clear; you did something else; the spreading of the disease and the effects are, therefore, your fault."
