That's great news, Sue! I'm not surprised James likes the subject; I did a tiny bit of philosophy in my first degree, and made it the main part of my higher degree. Loved the subject. I wish the internet had been available back then; I'd have used http://sqapo.com/ and other sources.
Only last week I had to use this problem in a science class where we had to introduce ethics for the first time. The students thought it was a lot of fun, and it made them think about ethics.There is no honour to be had in not knowing a thing that can be known - Danny Baker0 -
Been away for the weekend and didn't get on here on friday.
belated Happy Birthday, silvercar.
Good luck to James, Sue. I hope your Dad is still doing well.0 -

I had a go at that problem you linked to........ it was really interesting!
I got 100% consistency, but not sure if that's a good thing or not!
Does that make me a liberal or a tyrant? :rotfl: :rotfl: (I just lurve spiders!)

James was lucky in that he had an amazing philosophy teacher that really engaged the students...and that he kept the same teacher all through GCSE and A level. He even allowed James to lead the class on several occasions and also help out on occasion with the younger years and their lessons to impart that same enthusiasm.
The other two were not so lucky.We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.

Semantics of language get in the way, torture can be both always morally wrong and what needs to happen in some highly unusual circumstances.I think....0 -
I am not feeling helped yet, dd2, 12 has printed invitation to batmitzvah on a Saturday and party on the following Sunday. She says I should just reply accepting only the party but is the correct?I think....0

What do you mean by correct? Does DD explain why she does not want to go?No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0

If that's the understanding ...
Confirm that with the batmitzvah girl's parents, perhaps?No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0 -
She seems to think that although the invite is for both bits, it is understood that non-j school friends of the girl will only be going to the party on the Sunday.
Or why doesn't she just ask the girl, as presumably the girl is her friend?
If she has had an invite to the ceremony, then presumably she is wanted there, J or non-J, so why not just go? It would be interesting.
Why aren't other non-J friends going to the ceremony? Have they not been invited, or is it because they don't want to attend a religious function? If the former, then your daughter is an honoured guest. If the latter, then that's a shame, as it would be an interesting experience, plus, as I understand it, a happy one and quite good fun!(I just lurve spiders!)
