Answer a Question with a Question...

[Rosemarie]

Why do some people try to impress others with their knowledge?

 

[Kaila]

Do people gain more knowledge from life experience than from their educations,
Or, are many people apt to assume they have a lot of knowledge from experience, when they have some but could use some education to go with it?

 

[hollydolly]

Would you agree with me that the last question was worth pondering ?

 

[Rosemarie]

Why are people always trying to prove they are better than everyone else?

 

[mike4lorie]

does everybody really do that?

 

[Rosemarie]

Do you think perhaps I bring out the worst in people?

 

[Gemma]

Why would anyone pass judgement on you?

 

[Rosemarie]

Is that what you think I said?

 

[StarSong]

Aren't we hard wired to pass judgment on everyone in order to evaluate their threat level?

 

[Rosemarie]

Aren't we like other animals in wanting to establish a hierarchy?

 

[StarSong]

Have you noticed that even very young humans establish hierarchies?

 

[Rosemarie]

Do you think that sets the pattern for the rest of their lives?

 

[Kaila]

Aren't these questions very intriguing, about human nature and our observations?

 

[Rosemarie]

Isn't it good to have the opportunity to discuss these things?

 

[hollydolly]

Would you feel lost now without the internet ?

 

[StarSong]

How much more oppressive would the pandemic be if our technology were circa 1960?

 

[Rosemarie]

Can you remember epidemics of the past, when similar shutdowns were necessary?

 

[StarSong]

Can you bring to mind past epidemics with similar shutdowns that you've personally experienced?

 

[Kaila]

How old do you think I am?

 

[Rosemarie]

Is anyone old enough to remember the diphtheria outbreaks?

 

[mike4lorie]

does age have anything to do with it?

 

[Rosemarie]

Has there been a recent one I have missed?

 

[StarSong]

When you asked the question in post #2242 were you not thinking of an epidemic shutdown that you lived through?

 

[Kaila]

Were some of you effected by the Polio epidemics? (when I was a child)

 

[hollydolly]

Did you get a polio vaccination at school ?
