I have made mistakes in my past but I have redeemed myself over the years and right there. RIGHT THERE is what I am talking about.
Yes, but what if even now you have made mistakes that you don't realize yet are mistakes? Or what if you are covering them up now purely to make your point? See what this sort of thing can so easily escalate into?--lies and deceit!
Conq attempts to effect some last-minute repairs to his picture poster:
This thread reminds me of something a friend of mine said.
When his kids were growing up, he deliberately treated them unfairly so that they'd realize that life wasn't fair. Nothing major, just randomly dividing treats such as cookies, chores, etc. in an uneven fashion. The point was that he wanted them to try hard instead of worrying about being treated unfairly.
Wow, that's excellent IMO.
Most excellent if he did it consistently in favour of one child -- just to see what the difference would be in adulthood.
It's not random unfairness if one always get the better end of it though :p
Yeah, but it attempts to answer a far more interesting question.

The so called forbidden experiment would be interesting too.
Ah, now I'm reminded of Truffaut!
Feral children? I'm sure they'd just turn out equal to the rest of us.
lol
Judge for yourself:
How funny. I've read a book with that title:

This is too good!
Hey, everybody's EQUAL, remember?!...
cj -- Yeah, linguists jump all over cases like that, not to help the kid, but to see how an impoverished linguistic environment in childhood affects further development of language.
Vampires.
Now that you mention it, I think I read it for a linguistics class.

IF SOMEONE CAME ON HERE AND TOLD YOU YOU WERE NOT EQUAL TO THEM, TELL ME HOW WOULD YOU FEEL AFTER THAT PERSON SAID THAT?
Probably the same as I do now.
I would have written that sentence like this:
"Hey, everyone's EQUAL, remember?!..."
And yet I can't help wondering: is everyone's equal?
Wafflemaster, I do not troll. I am not a trolling person nor have I ever trolled and you know what? I think that is it for me and forums. Goodbye chess.com forums, you will not see another from me again because it is not worth fighting over topics. And I am no PEASANT. Stop treating my like one.
Check this out. Not only do we have Mars, Venus, Jupiter, and Saturn, but we have dwarf planets.
Are dolphins from Hakemake and porpoises from Haumea?
Who lives on Uranus? Maybe we can send a probe there.
As we've just learned, apparently a whole lot of bacteria.
