The ugliest word

General


That one word that's overused today is offensive.


Kraftfahrzeug-Haftpflichtversicherung is kind of ugly, you can feel your head wince before you try to say it and you know you'll not be able to say it in one go without lots of practice.
I've always thought smiles was a pretty looking word in comparison. two 's's with a mile between them.

Kewpie was my first friend here. She told me that if I wanted to win games, I needed to improve my 'killer instinct' ... 🙂

Kewpie was correct! You have to be more aggressive with higher rated opponents, I have that same problem in making passive moves against higher rated players.

True, I followed her advice, learned more and developed for a few years - and then I lost it. I don't play chess now, I socialize.

Taking offense on behalf of other people who don't care about whatever issue is the greatest virtue of all.

I'm sure it's just because NZ, same as AU and some other countries, doesn't want to assume the cost of allowing in aging retirees who might on balance never contribute more than their eventual drain on the national medical system.

Maybe brush up on your Spanish and move somewhere nice where they'd be happy to have a retiree with a pension splashing money about?

So, instead of respectfully debating or disagreeing with Wolfgang59, you heckled, harangued and bullied him, until he permanently left the site.

Your "virtue" appears to be... poor "signaling".

Not good for business.

I wonder how many posters and readers have taken their presence elsewhere because of your "virtue"?
