How resistant to change are you....
May 8^th, 2017 at 9:23pm

How would you respond if....

1) the national language became French...

2)We adopted a presidential system of government...

3) We adopted the 13-month calendar....

4) We drove on the right-hand side of the road....

5) We adopted the American dollar as our currency....

Would you go crazy to the point of where you would need to be hospitalized, or would you be able to adapt?

My answer is that I would be able to adapt.... Salut!

Reply #1 - May 8^th, 2017 at 9:29pm My answer would be to question the necessity. I am not into change just for change's sake. Prove to me its necessary and I'll be on board.

We would be smarter if we all spoke French.

So.....if I spoke French, my IQ would increase?

Not just IQ but also reasoning and poetry. Oui, oui, Monsieur.

Conceptual reasoning is related to conjugation of verbs, particularly the use of the subjunctive tense.

IQ includes conceptual reasoning.

If you would not be smarter than a comparable French person, that shows that you weren't smart to begin with.

Well, all I can say is what I know from personal experience. One of my Drivers was/is French and he is as dumb as dogshit.

Reply #14 - May 8^th, 2017 at 10:28pm Not resistant to positive change - been around long enough to know the difference - problem with Australia at this time is a lot of the changes need to be backwards first before we can go forward again.
