Do you think

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

I just looked it up in the Cambridge Dictionary Online:

dynamic Show phonetics
adjective
having a lot of ideas and enthusiasm; energetic and forceful:
She's young and dynamic and will be a great addition to the team.
We need a dynamic expansion of trade with other countries.

By the way you don't need an apostrophe in its. I'll leave you to look that up.
 
I know, the apostrophe is by choice and being chipped away at
soon we will be able to lose all punctuation n talk in text

It was a simple question susie. I too have responded using the family as the medium due to that being the usual thing. I have never heard the term 'blood thicker than water' used in the wider community sense - unless it's a very small yorkshire village!

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?

But the first response you recieved talked of "blood" in terms of nation, and in terms of "blood relatives". I don't think that a dynamic (if you wish to use a term which seems to be trying, with no little success, to escape from precise meaning) applies in terms of immediate family ... "nature" or "instinct" would seem to act here. But one could respond to the implied question: Do you believe in "my country right or wrong". That might not be what you are asking, hon; but the implication is definitely there.

Unless someone tries to stick the lid back on the can of worms, this could be fun:mosher: eh.
 
because its pedantic and becoming typical of your responses to me caz
Thats all
You are obviously highly intelligent yet choose to ask the most superfluous questions

If you had made your question clearer from the beginning there would have been no need for her to ask.
Your seeming irritation stems from your failure to do so

However, in certain countries, at certain times in history "blood" has been used as a synonym for "nation". Nazi Germany comes immediately to mind ... "blut" was the dynamic (oops ;)) that drove government policy.

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?

Usually yes,But in my case I'm not so sure.:rolleyes:
 
Trying a bit of oneupmanship it seems like to me, coming across as very pompous.
