Hi @Silenus
I am happy to meet you at the Mad Monty Meeting
Maybe there's an alcove for gassy unicorns.
Sorry cant discuss it @Silenus its family business and complicated, but I wanted to get the basic concept of criminality straight in my head. I was relieved in reading our State Criminal Code 1958, that there is no real criminality in my family, despite ongoing hurdles for my son.
What is especially meaningful and interesting for me, is that YOU brought up the concept within weeks of my research.
I have often been detached socially, but I do feel for the first time in my life that I can actually discuss things in a meaningful manner here on this forum.
In the past, issues of no Education and no English have had a profound effect on my sense of loneliness and isolation. I was repeatedly muzzled. I might have been able to discuss life with my father but he died.
I did Maths and Physics when few people around me understood or thought about any of those things. Most conversation was either rough, poor and full of swearing, or rigidly religious. I tended to agree to keep the peace however I could, and sort out life on my own.
Now at least I feel I wont be told off for using big words or being a know it all, as a defence for others not being bothered to understand me regardless of what language I spoke. No, I was not trying to show off.
One lovely old lady who did once mildly reprimand me for being educated is now reading "books with big words" in them. She said so in those words, but is also a kind soul and visited me this morning.
I am so sick and tired of my apparent crime of being too educated, but not middle class enough.
Anyway, whinge over, in this case YOU said it first ... lol .. ha ha
Friends? @Silenus
