No, that just means that people don't change their basic character, but what happens in childhood influences what will be in adulthood; that you can see in a child's behaviour what kind of adult he will become if he has good guidance and what kind, if he has bad guidance.
The similarity lies in the fact that there is a source support, and there is excess output which one can turn into source support for future start-ups (in whatever endeavour). So the gift is given, and is not returned, but gifting is given again to strangers (or offspring) without an expectation of return.Skip wrote: ↑Mon Jun 18, 2018 9:56 pmNo, that just means that people don't change their basic character, but what happens in childhood influences what will be in adulthood; that you can see in a child's behaviour what kind of adult he will become if he has good guidance and what kind, if he has bad guidance.
What I mean is that, everyt successful person has had some help from other people, and that he ought to give credit.
I don't think Clinton-bashing is particularly relevant here.
I don't bash the Clintons. He is fine with me, he was an okay prez. He was okay because he did not send troops to raze far-away cultures to rabble, like that EVIL INCARNATE WAR CRIMINAL WITH CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY, GEORGE W BUSH on drummed up, false reasons. Prez Clinton did cheat on his wife, which I condone because she is a witch in my opinion. I patently can't stand her. She allowed Trump's presidency, by standing in the way of Bernie Sanders's becoming the party nominee. THAT"s the sin I can't forgive her. She bought the electorate votes, with hard cold cash, she did not win the nomination on merit. I hate her.
Yeah, that, too: paying it forward.-1- wrote: ↑Mon Jun 18, 2018 10:22 pm

No, Walker does. Without apparent apropos.I don't bash the Clintons.
Actually, quite a good one, in several ways, including financial management, which the Republican's could not countenance.He was an okay president
Maybe that's why he set up the fund or whatever... he is good at finances. All finances start with a good, solid, personal finance background. Dollar in, dollar out, no two ways about that. Maybe his parents gave him one dollar for a week's worth of cafeteria food, and told him to spend it wisely. I don't know.

typographical error: I was concentrating on the avoidance of "repugs"And the plural of Republicans is written without the grocer's comma.
Really? Seems a trivial kind of suicide.I'd rather die first than correct a native speaker's English,
A: Re: countenance, verb: I stand corrected. I was wrong.
