Please American citizens, those of us without a vote are keeping our fingers crossed.

wh48e.bsky.social (@wh48e.bsky.social) reply parent

Ah....

wh48e.bsky.social (@wh48e.bsky.social) reply parent

A handsome creature

wh48e.bsky.social (@wh48e.bsky.social) reply parent

Then more American citizens need to vote for someone else.....

I feel deprived without a book

wh48e.bsky.social (@wh48e.bsky.social) reply parent

Thank you

wh48e.bsky.social (@wh48e.bsky.social) reply parent

Uplifting

wh48e.bsky.social (@wh48e.bsky.social) reply parent

Yes, let`s read and hear more from those who cherish our earth

wh48e.bsky.social (@wh48e.bsky.social) reply parent

Our beautiful earth

wh48e.bsky.social (@wh48e.bsky.social) reply parent

Alarming

wh48e.bsky.social (@wh48e.bsky.social) reply parent

Not what John Lennon meant

wh48e.bsky.social (@wh48e.bsky.social) reply parent

How much has the gun lobby paid for this?

wh48e.bsky.social (@wh48e.bsky.social) reply parent

Yes, if only we could never build a wall around our vulnerabilities

wh48e.bsky.social (@wh48e.bsky.social) reply parent

Gay? So what?

wh48e.bsky.social (@wh48e.bsky.social) reply parent

Long may it be cherished

Long may libraries continue

wh48e.bsky.social (@wh48e.bsky.social) reply parent

Libraries are lovely

wh48e.bsky.social (@wh48e.bsky.social) reply parent

Scary

wh48e.bsky.social (@wh48e.bsky.social) reply parent

Yes, I hope we all become wiser

wh48e.bsky.social (@wh48e.bsky.social) reply parent

Oh, I fear them. What is a `witch`? Someone who disagrres with you?

wh48e.bsky.social (@wh48e.bsky.social) reply parent

Yes, taken to logical conclusion we all should be deported

wh48e.bsky.social (@wh48e.bsky.social) reply parent

Sounds so simple - where does it go wrong?

wh48e.bsky.social (@wh48e.bsky.social) reply parent

We do

wh48e.bsky.social (@wh48e.bsky.social) reply parent

Far more are `coerced ` into begging to an end to their suffering than are pressured into having assisted suicide

wh48e.bsky.social (@wh48e.bsky.social) reply parent

Thank you for this from a Yorkshire woman....

wh48e.bsky.social (@wh48e.bsky.social) reply parent

Wow

wh48e.bsky.social (@wh48e.bsky.social) reply parent

But why do people vote for him?

wh48e.bsky.social (@wh48e.bsky.social) reply parent

Thank you

wh48e.bsky.social (@wh48e.bsky.social) reply parent

Yes, we learn by example from parents, teachers and so on....

wh48e.bsky.social (@wh48e.bsky.social) reply parent

Thanks

wh48e.bsky.social (@wh48e.bsky.social) reply parent

What is Putin`s hold over Trump?

wh48e.bsky.social (@wh48e.bsky.social) reply parent

And they`re lovely to look at

wh48e.bsky.social (@wh48e.bsky.social) reply parent

Beautiful beasts which our world would be poorer without

wh48e.bsky.social (@wh48e.bsky.social) reply parent

Yes, certainly shameful

wh48e.bsky.social (@wh48e.bsky.social) reply parent

At least put a deposit on plastic containers - bottles etc.

wh48e.bsky.social (@wh48e.bsky.social) reply parent

Unbearable to even look at.....

wh48e.bsky.social (@wh48e.bsky.social) reply parent

Ha, ha - as a retired teacher of English I often have to restrain myself....

wh48e.bsky.social (@wh48e.bsky.social) reply parent

Yes, why are we forced to suffer? I wouldn`t force others to choose assisted suicide.

wh48e.bsky.social (@wh48e.bsky.social) reply parent

Yes, actions speak louder

wh48e.bsky.social (@wh48e.bsky.social) reply parent

Yes, if Corbyn had clearly been pro-E.U. I believe he could have swung the vote to a `Remain`majority

wh48e.bsky.social (@wh48e.bsky.social) reply parent

Frightening

wh48e.bsky.social (@wh48e.bsky.social) reply parent

Denying the choice of assisted suicide means we are coerced into suffering

wh48e.bsky.social (@wh48e.bsky.social) reply parent

We project onto others the hate we feel for ourselves.

wh48e.bsky.social (@wh48e.bsky.social) reply parent

We can get along when not taught to distrust

wh48e.bsky.social (@wh48e.bsky.social) reply parent

Yes

wh48e.bsky.social (@wh48e.bsky.social) reply parent

The wise man loves to learn

wh48e.bsky.social (@wh48e.bsky.social) reply parent

The courage to change what we can

wh48e.bsky.social (@wh48e.bsky.social) reply parent

Yes, a government, like individuals, needs to be able to take a joke

wh48e.bsky.social (@wh48e.bsky.social) reply parent

I know many wonderful men and women.

wh48e.bsky.social (@wh48e.bsky.social) reply parent

Why are we coerced into suffering?

wh48e.bsky.social (@wh48e.bsky.social) reply parent

Yes, I follow good examples not those who lecture me.

wh48e.bsky.social (@wh48e.bsky.social) reply parent

Pressure groups of the oil and gas industries handing out freebies?

wh48e.bsky.social (@wh48e.bsky.social) reply parent

Yes, I encourage others to cry when they are happy or sad

wh48e.bsky.social (@wh48e.bsky.social) reply parent

I was talking about this novel yesterday - how, in the courtroom the alcoholic, abusive father accusing Tom feels superior to him because he, the father, is white.

wh48e.bsky.social (@wh48e.bsky.social) reply parent

Read the label - I have sometimes regretted being hasty...

wh48e.bsky.social (@wh48e.bsky.social) reply parent

Also those who are suffering without hope of an end to their distress.

wh48e.bsky.social (@wh48e.bsky.social) reply parent

I`m more afraid of unbearable suffering than of death, much more afraid

wh48e.bsky.social (@wh48e.bsky.social) reply parent

And those for whom life is endless suffering

wh48e.bsky.social (@wh48e.bsky.social) reply parent

If I had a dog it would be constantly in my thoughts.

wh48e.bsky.social (@wh48e.bsky.social) reply parent

Yes, look to the stars

wh48e.bsky.social (@wh48e.bsky.social) reply parent

Yes, discrimination in our attitude to other creatures e.g. pampered cats, mistreated calves

wh48e.bsky.social (@wh48e.bsky.social) reply parent

And learn from Dutch experience...

wh48e.bsky.social (@wh48e.bsky.social) reply parent

Yes, tragically power ( often) corrupts

wh48e.bsky.social (@wh48e.bsky.social) reply parent

Love yourself

wh48e.bsky.social (@wh48e.bsky.social) reply parent

Yes - classics have a dialogue with us in many cultures and times

wh48e.bsky.social (@wh48e.bsky.social) reply parent

Thank you for the reminder

wh48e.bsky.social (@wh48e.bsky.social) reply parent

wh48e.bsky.social (@wh48e.bsky.social) reply parent

Why are people forced to suffer when they want to be released ?

wh48e.bsky.social (@wh48e.bsky.social) reply parent

Why are our M.P.s scared ? Is it because they fear that the health service is so run down that people will be encouraged to kill themselves?

wh48e.bsky.social (@wh48e.bsky.social) reply parent

Why is Britain so frightened when assisted suicide has been legal in countries such as The Netherlands without older people ( such as myself and friends) feeling any pressure to end our life?

wh48e.bsky.social (@wh48e.bsky.social) reply parent

Illegally sweet :D

wh48e.bsky.social (@wh48e.bsky.social) reply parent

And listen to a neighbour....

wh48e.bsky.social (@wh48e.bsky.social) reply parent

Disgusting

wh48e.bsky.social (@wh48e.bsky.social) reply parent
