do you think that blood is ultimately thicker than water for everyone?
I'm not askin everyone personally, Im on about the population generally
And what do you think influences the dynamic?
 
Is blood thicker than water, you do raise some questions susie. From my point of view I think I'm British first and foremost and that's all that will ever matters to me, on the personal level, I'm very strongly protective of my own, as in family, as I would think most people are, but we are now having or own values totally overran by the PC brigade, unfortunately

I don't see where the PC issue comes in Jaysay? :confused:

That's a very broad question Susie, would depend to some point on what the situation was I suppose. But if you say blood is thicker than water, and it means disregarding your own principles about something major, I would say no..
 
Why on earth there should be a dynamic is beyond me. It's just a simple yes or no, depending on circumstances. What's your opinion susie?

Why do I feel like we are part of research for a thesis? Is it just me?
 
Its not personal from me. It's an attempt to open up a discussion with people who may be able to offer some great points of view
Thats all. Its about reaching out
Why are you so pointedly hostile and defensive?
 
mine?
Oh I witness people who do turn their back on their own family.
They have many reasons, all viable to them. That's how they feel.
Then I suppose there is discussion points around culture, sex and age that may affect the closeness and loyalty.
I haven't any set response and am interested to hear, listen and learn stuff.

I always thought that to teach them to spell was more important.As for blood much better in the ethnic puddings:D:D
 
I did say 'the dynamic' that would suggest it's use as a noun.
Think I would have just looked it up by now if it was worrying me

dynamic isn't jargon. It's just a word.
What's the problem with me using it?

"Dynamic" wasn't jargon, but now it is, mainly due to people like politicians, who want to sound important (like saying "at this point in time" instead of "now" ... I personally eschew obfuscation.;)

I am assuming, from the general nature of the question, and from a couple of responses, that you are not referring to "family" in the limited sense, but in the more general sense of "community" or "nation" .... just in case I'm wrong, I'll stop here. Don't want to seem silly by answering a question that might not have been asked:D

By the way, it is "my using it" not "me using it" .... forgive me; I'm having a pedantic day;):D

If that is the case the question should have been clearer. (or reprphrased)

Blood being thicker than water usually means family over principles to me? :confused:
 
oh its clear enough if you open your mind then rather than boxing it into a set definition you own
Anyways now we all sort of understand the question and the language patterns
what do you think?
 
I personally could not envisage myself falling out with family but, like yourself susie, I have seen families who have, shall we say, disintegrated for one reason or another.
It takes a lot of hard work to ensure the family dynamic stays strong from all those involved. Sometimes it will take just one loose word or action for things to begin to unravel and if the bonds are not close then blood will certainly not be thicker.

So where are the perimeters of your box then? Blood and water doesn't mean country to me...and many others. As I said it's a broad question. Tell us exactly what you want?
