Correct.
That's what I wrote.
But what did I MEAN?

Correct.
But again ....... you're taking me too literally.Matthew wrote:I fail to see how I have misconstrued your post.
You see a vouching for ego where none exists. I am championing N8 for bringing SUBSTANCE into the thread ........ not himself.Matthew wrote:You can throw any number of long and learned words into the fray as you deem necessary (I lack neither perspicacity or comprehension, Elvis didn’t commit suicide, this is common knowledge) but this topic hardly deserves the attention it received and now, continues to receive when the ludicrousness of the subject matter doesn’t warrant it.
1) The words I "can throw" into "the fray" (hmmm, I wonder why you think it's a fray) are NOTHING compared to what N8 can do, believe me. That you would choose to attack me in such a superficial manner says a lot.
2) You do lack perspicacity and comprehension ........ which your very assertion re-attests -- on multiple levels.
3) (As bolded) Because you stated things as fact, when, on such a broad topic as this, they are anything but, I have only one thing to say: you are wrong.Matthew wrote:PS. When I write "One questions" I am referring to me, not you.
Your patronising "post-script" aside, let me correct you .......
When one writes "one questions", and one is being grammatically / syntactically correct, one is talking about a de-individualised person / group (i.e. not themselves). But you were clearly talking about yourself (i.e. you gave your own myopic view on the matter). You communicated an ego-centric opinion under the guise of speaking for others. Gramatically, you were wrong ...... though, in a warped kind of way, I guess you're correct here, for you really WERE speaking about yourself, as you've just said.
My own use of "one" was correct: "IMO: One can take a half empty / half full approach to this." See the difference? I wasn't talking about myself or any particular individual at that point (I subsequently went on and did that).
Bottom line: you don't get to decide on an important topic like this as to whether it's right or wrong, and it certainly doesn't warrant attacking / deriding another person and their well-written posts over. I thought you said in another thread that you're a Christian and DON'T judge...? Well, you sure contradicted yourself in record time, that's all I can say.

Off the top of my head, I believe the above pic. was taken on Einstein's birthday sometime in the 50's.
Why is he doing it? He was pretty much summing up how he felt about celebrity worship. The press had been hounding him all day, asking him to smile for the cameras ........... The Big "E" (yeah, just like E) was weary of it and gave them his tongue instead (Incidently, Einstein had a fantastic sense of humour, ..... and this - for the remainder of his life - was one of his favorites photos of himself.)
There are lots of stories that I could tell you about this Big "E", too.

2027 is the date that the 50 year closure clause ends.
Anything can happen at that time and this of course also depends on how the laws are / changed between now ..... & then.
The report is sealed because its contents reveal polypharmacy as the cause of death.
If the true cause were heart attack / cancer, etc., ..... there would be no reason to seal it and hide the truth. (This, incidently, was also what was told privately to Vernon & others when the autopsy results were completed.) Hence, the sealing.
That "truth" was also white-washed by Francisco (cardiac arrhythmia, which is technically true, but also technically meaningless. It's a play on the fallacy of gobbly gook - word semantics) in order to dupe an ignorant public. It has, in large measure, succeeded.

Yes. Definitely. I've read that.
I've also read that he was extremely aloof and had to be coaxed into releasing his papers. He also provided no financial aid / backing for the publication of "Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica" at all -- which was actually critically needed back then.

I will listen for hours on end to anyone who can tell me anything about Elvis..............especially someone who has a better understanding and knowledge about him than myself.
I publically apologise to you If I have offended you BUT.......I do believe what I wrote has got us back on Topic and that was my aim, if this gets me banned then so be it. I wish it to be known I am not causing trouble.....just telling it how it is.
As you know Education is my field of work but even I could not understand where this thread was going...............it went from ''Did he or didn't he commit suicide'' to Einstein...............which is relevant in which way.....please point it out to me.

I was not around when you posted here before so I don't know who you are etc.........what I do know is I am interested in what you have to say and if I ask You a question...........you give me a reasonable answer and I respect what you have to say, nothing more..........nothing less.

Has it really succeeded? I think if most people were asked why Elvis died, they would say drugs were the cause. I agree there was an intention to conceal the truth, but I don't think it was successful.

I think that's what Elvis did. He didn't intentionally drive the car off the road or into a tree, but he really didn't seem to care anymore.
