With the increased number of scammers, why don't we insist on authenticity verifications?

DaphneDarling comments on Nov 7, 2018:
This seems like a silly idea. If you put yourself on a social media site, you open yourself up to getting scammed. It’s the inherent risk.
Amisja replies on Nov 7, 2018:
Daphne, you might be a younger, internet savy person. Not everyone is. I have had messages from older people who have been approached by very young attractive people, declaring their undying love.

I don't know if you were here when we mentioned verification before (a few months back). It would require a credit card and it would cost the site money to do so. (Which is why there is none). I like your idea - but the smart scammers would get around that quickly. Just like they come back ...

They buy stock photos of people online. There are actually websites that sell them. You could fir instance search 'pics of 52 year old English women in domestic situtations' get a group of pics and then make up a profile. We did a session looking at online presence for our students (future health care professionals). Two girls found pics of themselves posted with other names and details. Both probably used by scammers. It really upset them.

But you still love em. Then they become teenagers and turn into big shits and you are still saying "no". Except now they are huge (lads). Then they turn into adults, dye their hair, get piercings and tats and you say, "Oh I give up"...doesn't matter you still love em. No psychology Don needed to tell me that. Kids spend their childhood trying to get away from you. They learn eventually...I would give anything to have 5 mins with my Mum and she was a tyrant at times xxx

@Keith_J Unusual, you should write a paper. Not going to nag you about supervision as I am sure you know. The last time I worked with someone with psychopathy was this 44 year old gentleman who had attempted to blow up a hospital (He reckoned it would be an easy target). He was a cold, but an utterly superficially charming man, very good looking. In the secure forensic hospital where he was detained he had sold pictures of his own naked children to the paedophiles then took great pleasure in physically assaulting them. In the end he had lots of nurses, psychiatrists, psychologists falling for his 'poor hard done to' story. I saw right through him, he threatened to have me removed from his direct care and lo and behold...I was. Very manipulative. Ultimately, I was able to move on. Unfortunately, probably due to inadequate supervision this one man destroyed lot of careers. What was also interesting was he'd had a very comfortable, wealthy loving childhood...very strange

@Keith_J Interesting anti-social psychopathic PD is pretty rare in women but strangely one woman I encountered did exaggerate offences. Her opening gambit when she met me was, ' I'd kill myself if I looked like you'. She'd disclosed killing her own children. It was all fabricated. Fascinating but rather terrifying. She was eventually detained in a forensic psychiatric hospital.

@linxminx The night he was born, I was told he wouldn't make it through the night. He and I had a terrible time during his birth and we went through a very traumatic emergency C-section. 6 hours later, I was told I had to leave the hospital. Well he survived, we came back to UK (From AZ). And he grew stronger. At first he struggled with school and we were advised he should go to a 'special school' we ignored them. (This was the child who translated Japanese at 9 years old!) He carried on. At 10 he was diagnosed with Asbergers. We asked him if he wanted us to get extra help, he said no so we carried on. At 11 he corrected his teacher and she admitted he was right! In secondary school they said contrary to needing special education, he is exceptionally bright. He went onto university and this year he graduated with a 2:1 in politics. He is funny, tall, handsome, kind and thoughtful. He has a way of seeing through all the political BS and get right to the point. He writes like a dream and he's going to ok. I have two other children who are just as inspirational, I'll tell you about them another time.

Amisja replies on Oct 26, 2018:
@rcandlish Ok stop that. You sound like Tommy Robinson! I gave you historical facts, not emotive vitriole. Mohammed was a man of 1200 years ago. Wives were bought and sold as commodities. It is DEFINITELY not acceptable by 21st century standards. Neither was hanging, drawing and quartering people or burning people at stakes for worshiping god with the wrong hat on. Marriage was virtually never about love and more about creating powerful families. Mohammed's first wife was very unusual, as a very independent business woman who basically bankrolled his education. Again unusually, all texts state this was a love match and they were married for 25 years. Alisha was the daughter oh one of Mohammed's brethren and her age is matter of contraversy. From her own writing: The Prophet used to lean on my lap and recite Qur'an while I was in menses." and "Narrated 'Aisha: The Prophet used to embrace me during my menses. He also used to put his head out of the mosque while he was in Itikaf, and I would wash it during my menses." This would suggest she was older than 6. It was not illegal then and common amongst powerful families at that time. I am glad we live in this age were children are protected a great deal more, although there still countries on earth were minimum age do not exist.

@IamNobody when I lived in USA, I liked some bits, like very cheap petrol (gas), driving because the roads are all straight. School buses are an excellent idea....hmmm I am trying hard honestly. That was then. The second but last time I was over there were literally new builds in AZ so cheap I could have bought it with one wage. Now they are back to real prices. I think its hard to come from living in a social democracy to essentially a meritocracy, especially when I had so many barriers to achievement.

Why is the label African Americans used to describe black Americans
ghettophilosopher comments on Oct 24, 2018:
Two reasons: 1. Most people who have knowledge of their heritage take pride in it. They bring aspects of that culture with them, regardless of how far back it goes. Those that don't have knowledge either endeavor to learn (hence the popularity of Ancestry, 23 and Me, etc...) or just make it up ...

@johnprytz Well the first mention of crop circles was in the 17th century. You have challenged me now, so I will have a go. I only have my back garden and its only grass but I'll give it a go. Anyway lets talk about something interesting. Oh and by the way if we are just part of some massive SIMs game, please can you have a word with the controller and ask him or her (see not sexist!) To sort it out. When I played SIMS all I wanted was my little people to fall in love and have babies. If you are right, the gamer is a nasty spoilt 13 year old who enjoys watching his SIM people suffer!

@PalacinkyPDX Something else you need to remember is that most English people aren't really into flag waving. You may see a few in NI or the saltire in Scotland. The union jack has been hijacked by the far right and the george cross only comes out at the football. Patriotism seems a bit ick and out of place in 2018, especially considering all the shitty things we did.

Amisja replies on Oct 24, 2018:
@PalacinkyPDX I absolutely have no experience of having to leave a country due to the forced starvation by destructive dictators. I have absolutely no experience of what it is like to be stolen from my home. I have the experience of being a working class girl from a country whose powers that be, were guilty of such atrocities. I understand people wishing to retain something of their heritage (like the muslim brothers and sisters near me). What I don't understand is the yearning for one thing and claiming an affiliation to something that by 3rd or 4th generation is utterly and completely alien to them. For example when I lived in USA, most people thought I was Irish because of my hair. Then tried to tell me I would 'hate' them because they 'are Irish', when they discovered, I am English. The thing is, way back, my family were Scandavian, my grandfather was a 'Stephenson', which is a derivative of a scandanvian name. I am tall, big boned, fair and definitely of Viking ancestory. I have never once described myself as Norwegian, or Danish, because I am English. I think after 3 or 4 generations you should stick with the country of yer birth. What was weird for me was people claiming to be 'Irish' or 'Italian' or whatever but waved the stars and stripes with tears in their eyes when the national anthem came on. I do not attribute any right or wrong, its just weird to me.
