Should starting every second sentence with the word "So" automatically attract a death sentence?
Amisja comments on Oct 13, 2018:
I really despise this. My professor friend does it and although he is a lovely man, it goes right through me. I am only just over the misuse of the word 'impact'. I was quoting a consultant psychiatrist in a paper I was writing and had to resist the urge to correct his English.

I've never had a flu shot (but I am British). The NHS (National Health Service) website says... "Flu can be unpleasant, but if you are otherwise healthy it will usually clear up on its own within a week." I didn't have any vaccinations until I was in my 30s, mostly because I had a needle ...
Amisja replies on Oct 13, 2018:
Nurses are generally ambivilent about giving injections. Its a job like any other, I generally do not like it. Influenza still kills, it puts a lot of added pressure on the NHS and yes for you it will be pretty awful but you'll probably live. Others won't. The elderly, people who are immunocompromised, the very young. I give flu shots to my colleagues in both my jobs. The last thing we need is a ton of nurses getting ill. It is important to have the vaccination as you live in a community and others may not fare as well as you. Saying that, I wish you well and hope you don't get it.

Amisja replies on Oct 12, 2018:
@sfvpool If we lived in a world that considered reports of rape and sexual assault in the same way we think of the theft of a bike then I would agree. Sexual...well any trauma...often produces pinpoint memories that never leave us. I had to resusitate my ex husband following an MI, I don't know what day it was, I don't really remember the events leading up to it, but from the moment I knew he was deteriorating until the ambulance arriving, I remember every single detail. I remember my daughter arriving, apologising to the ambulance paramedics because the room was a mess, I remember the red sheets which I had to throw away. I remember he was wearing the jumper I'd bought him from GAP. I know I gave him an initial blow which we are no longer advised to do then feeling guilty, I remember him vomitting and me trying to protect his dignity. I do not remember driving to the cardiac centre. Memory is a strange thing. We remember important life events in intricate detail. Physical evidence can be there or it may be easily discounted. Shame, guilt and even fear prevent people from speaking out. I suggest Susan Brownmiller's Against our will (1975) its rather old but a seminal piece, either that or Rape and its effects on womens Mental Health (2012) by me.

Amisja replies on Oct 12, 2018:
Actually this made up a huge part of my dissertation. Rape within marriage and long term partnership is so common that it virtually never gets reported. In fact this wasn't even a crime in UK until 1991. A difficult to prove crime comes even more difficult within the confines of an intimate relationship. However it does happen very often. Read this article for more information. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1889186115000244 In fact what often happens is that a seperation occurs and it is then that the victim reports the crime.women particularly often report this as a reason the relationship broke down without realising it is an offence.

@Green_eyes Yes on second thoughts, I worked with a nurse who would balantly lie about her own achievements and do absolutely anything she could to 'drop others in it'. We used to call her 'datix' Helen (datix being the name of the incident form we had to complete) She was a complete sycophant when it came to senior staff (choosing her break to coincide with theirs) and very slowly managed to slide up the slippery pole to management. She was definitely a narcissist and actually when she came under scrutiny she immediately fell apart. She is no longer a nurse and only just managed to avoid being struck off. You might be correct (do you work in MH btw? )

Amisja replies on Oct 7, 2018:
@273kelvin I am not sure I understand your point. I am conscious we are hogging the convo about another matter entirely. I am sad that we are leaving the EU. I think it is a mistake. I think from the point of view of a nurse, I am dreading even less staff around. From the point of view of a university lecturer, I just think our world will become more isolated and we lose the one commodity that we still have to sell in buckets...the knowledge economy. Anyway. I appreciate that my opinion lost the argument but every single brexiteer I have spoken to has said, hands down then did so to reduce the number of immigrants. Oh and weirdly, I know a lad in Manchester called Ian, who makes bespoke children's beds. He made beds for the Beckhams...small world.

@273kelvin erm I'm hardly a snob and the people who voted leave voted en masse mostly for a single issue. They were sold a lie. Those of us who read around everyone of the predictions understood it. They voted for a Britain that has never existed

Amisja replies on Oct 7, 2018:
@Captain747ex Really?? You need to google self sufficency. I can grow plants, farm animals, slaughter em too. I can fish, SW Scotland is very clement because of the gulf stream. We have grown advocados and kiwi up there. I can weave and I sew all the time. I also knit tat and crochet. In Scotland you are slap bang next to one of the windiest places on earth and in summer you can get up to 15 hours of light. We can brew our own beer and wine, we can make our own entertainment. We already do this at the workers coop I am part of. Internet is available, at the Doon we barter eggs, cheese and fishing time on the loch for other things. We have compost loos and you can easily set up solar showers. I can't think of one other thing I'd need.

@273kelvin Kelvin has as oft been stated not all Brexiteers are racist but all racists voted leave. People in the poorest parts of the UK...erm like mine...voted leave. They voted against continued workers' rights, security of being a member of a very valuable trading community and a future for their children. They were sold a lie because they believed Brexit would mean the end of immigration. It won't.

@Green_eyes exactly. People voted for Brexit because erm...brown people...they literally believed that Brexit would remove all the foreigners from this land and create more jobs (we currently have record employment figures) for Brits. Jobs like fruit picking, cleaning, abatoir work that no Brit will ever do.

racocn8 comments on Oct 5, 2018:
The number of false allegations is significant so an allegation of sexual assault should rightly subject the claimant to legal responsibility and defamation of character counter-charge. Women do get and should get jailed for false allegations. However, sexual offenders are frequently serial in ...
Amisja replies on Oct 6, 2018:
This is incorrect. In fact less than 4% of all reported rapes (Gov.uk, 2016) are found to be false. The usual suspects are persons who are trying to hide pregnancies, or other consequencies of sexual contact or revenge. They are virtually all young women or adolescents. Your other point about serial sexual offenders gives the impression that this is the reality of most rapes. In fact again this is untrue. The vast majority of rapists are in known to the victim and untold number are actually marital or partner rapes. They are unlikely to be serial, more opportunist. (Drunken girl at a party). Serial sexual offenders are thankfully rare, more likely is the forceful coercion within an otherwise amorous encounter. Rape and sexual assault are complicated matters and often men rely on implied rather than explicit consent. (Happy to share my dissertation on this subject)

@CrazyQuilter I'm not sure. I just know that some pornsites and tons of gambling sites fund lots of internet content. You could try 'Ecosia' as a search engine and sites like 'Ello' which is a social media site. Linked in is usually a good way for professionals. My university expects all academic staff have Linked in accounts.
