There is always another choice

You may not like any of the other options/choices but that doesn't mean they do not exist

Your 'non-choices' may be so far outside your experience you cannot deal with them - but that doesn't make them any less a valid choice

Why should I CAT you? Why would I want you to explain who you are? If you're going to tout ridiculous nonsense (IMO) and anyone thinks you're me then the name is too close.

But I have no choice in what you call yourself.

Aw 2shoes - you have always been so nice to me before (isn't it odd when you are seen differently with a different name)

SoupDragon maybe she wants to tell yo taht you have a choice about her name

SoupDragon · 05/02/2010 23:09

"isn't it odd when you are seen differently with a different name"

I would feel the same about the original post whatever name it was posted under.

not understanding the issue with names?? .com

ImSoNotTelling · 05/02/2010 23:11

I don't really understand the OP.

For example my life is intolerable. I have the option of suicide.

So people always have a choice, they can choose to opt out of everything if it isn't working out for them.

And...?

I really don't really understand the OP.

Mind you, some people can't make that decision - like terry pratchett is trying to get things changed or something...

Um so if people can't act on their choices for whatever reason, then they don't have a choice, maybe?

SnapDragons you might be the lovliest person in the world, but.......... this thread is wking the demons(I am sur ethat is a song title)

ImSoNotTelling · 05/02/2010 23:13

That was a for example, my life isn't actually intolerable.

Still though.

ImSoNotTelling · 05/02/2010 23:14

My DD doesn't have a choice about having her teeth brushed in the evening.

Ha gotcha.

kinnies · 05/02/2010 23:14

If I stab Dh in the eye, he would have no choice but to bleed a bit.

See. No choice.

2shoes · 05/02/2010 23:14

has to be the best emotion ever

2shoes · 05/02/2010 23:15

(2shoes lowers the tone)

Mumcentreplus · 05/02/2010 23:15

facts are some choices suck azz..then what?..lol

SoupDragon · 05/02/2010 23:16

you could choose to hold the poo in until you explode.

Mumcentreplus · 05/02/2010 23:16

is that winnie or straight smelly poo?..lol

SnapDragons · 05/02/2010 23:18

OK

I was not intending on 'waking the demons' - honest

Just being frustrated (again) when told by friends that the choices they have made are the only ones they have

These choices are generally money/lifestyle related & HeQet understood perfectly they way I meant them

I apologise unreservedly for offending or upsetting anyone with my frustration at my friends

And I promise never to allow myself to be visibly (on MN) flummoxed or frustrated by their lack of 'pedantic' accuracy

You could just hold it in and get constapated.

You would look like this >>

kinnies · 05/02/2010 23:20

You could work as a 'lady of the night'!

2shoes · 05/02/2010 23:20

I knew it was a song

2shoes · 05/02/2010 23:22

gaelicsheep I was wondering what the emotion reminded me of, the word crap jogged my memory

SoupDragon · 05/02/2010 23:27

Can I just say that I made the choice to see "wanking demons" when 2shoes typed "wking demons".
