Cozen

    1. To mislead by means of a petty trick or fraud; deceive.
    2. To persuade or induce to do something by cajoling or wheedling. 3. To obtain by deceit or persuasion.


Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the Word for the Day in a sentence.

The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day.

someone thinking their’s is the only way never bothers me. it is only troubling when people attack others who believe differently. that’s the difference I see on the RF. I don’t see Catholics who feel their’s is the only way [and I am not among them btw] attacking Protestants for their beliefs. But I do see a small segment of haters who either post a thread critical of catholics or hop on a thread where Catholics are discussing some catholic issue and start reaming the Catholic church.

There are some of both here - and both are horrible. There was some kind of write up once about why there are so many different trees and linked that to different ways of worship - it was really nice. Some here would hate it! lol

it is truly unreal how often murder is committed by a spouse.

No one knows you like your spouse.

Not you personally, the general, plural you; ya'll perhaps.

There was a horrible quadruple murder here in NW DC that's been in the news this week. Not sure what the perp's connection to the family is, but he tortured and killed and burned this family and their housekeeper while he ate a PIZZA and was ID'ed by the DNA on the crust.

True - it is so hard to imagine how anyone can kill the mother or father of their children - of course they have to be psychopaths or insane to begin with ....but one parent is dead, the other goes to prison...the children are completely left to be raised by other family members.

I saw something about that...fortunately we know it can’t have been racism since there is no such thing as racism committed by blacks

A large part of Texas has been experiencing a major drought for several years, and the past few weeks have received so much rain there is now flooding going on. I keep waiting for the global warming crowd to explain why drought was due to global warming and flooding is too.

I remember a TV character on e saying that he couldn’t understand a man hitting a woman.

Pause.

That he didn’t know.

Compressors, not generators. We make gas compressors and steam turbines. We package generators with our turbines sometimes. But don’t make generators.

Well, not any more. We did some time before I was born.

This case was on one of those shows. Also, a local FReeper is related. This is a local case with the family connected to my church. I probably am prejudiced.
