Drogio private msg quote post Address this user | |
| When I and my siblings were very young my dad would often be working in his woodshop or on some home chore/project...we being curious kids would ask him what he was doing. Not wanting to be rude, but also not having the time to have a conversation with us, he would respond "Oh, writing a letter...(he was doing anything but writing a letter...and was very obvious to us kids as well. Nevertheless, we usually walked away confused.)" One day a few months back, one of my kids asked me what I was doing...Not really feeling like explaining the project I was working on to my child, but wanting to acknowledge he was asking me a question, I responded with "oh...writing a letter..." I immediately had myself a good laugh. It had been over 30 years since I had heard my father say it or even have thought about it...one more example of it being true what they say about becoming your parents. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Instant_Subtitles ACD was the creator of one of the most logical sleuths in the entire history of fiction, but he himself was a rabid spiritist. Strange, huh....? |

Quote:Originally Posted by DocBrown It is. And it also helps explain why there was interest in the paranormal on my late father's side. But did you also know that his beliefs caused him to end his friendship with Harry Houdini? It was one of those things that made me facepalm, and only because Harry was his daughter's Godfather. |

Quote:Originally Posted by CFP_Comics I think Jefferson was full of horsespit on this one. After all...the man wrote over 18,000 letters in his lifetime. He was certainly NOT afraid of using two words...or hundreds, in fact...on a regular basis. https://www.monticello.org/site/research-and-collections/number-letters-jefferson-wrote |

| Against the censurers of brevity. - Something said briefly can be the fruit of much long thought: but the reader who is a novice in this field, and has as yet reflected on it not at all, sees in everything said briefly something embryonic, not without censuring the author for having served him up such immature and unripened fare. Friedrich Nietzsche, Human, All Too Human |

| “The opinions that are held with passion are always those for which no good ground exists; indeed the passion is the measure of the holders lack of rational conviction. Opinions in politics and religion are almost always held passionately.” ― Bertrand Russell Not sure I quite agree with all of this, but I definitely agree with his point that passion doesn't translate into rational conviction. |

| “The problem with today’s world is that everyone believes they have the right to express their opinion AND have others listen to it. The correct statement of individual rights is that everyone has the right to an opinion, but crucially, that opinion can be roundly ignored and even made fun of, particularly if it is demonstrably nonsense!” ― Brian Cox |
