4 years and 2 years? Short term relationships. I guess they both had enough "street smarts" and "resourcefulness" to get bored of you, get rid of you, and move on with their lives. You need to quit 'downing others' and look at yourself. The women in the DR are usually pretty glad to latch on to a westerner who has a pension income. And a pension income is worth more in a developing country so more affordable for you to live there. Much better than staying in a western country and claiming from the state for your rent to be paid ( Right wing capitalists who use the system). And as for the word 'boredom' that you used in your posts, count your posts on here. What else do you do with your life apart from post on here? Don't think you have time for much else!

If you don't understand the purpose and means of biblical stories, there's no hope for ya

I mean we overcame the 'ice age ' didn't we? Check the world of Art out for the historical heatwaves in London and such..........Why do people only talk about 'today'?????? 'whose'. You need to give scientific evidence please. And define natural or as you put it, 'unnaturally'

The world has undergone climate changes for hundreds of years. It's nothing new but the history of climate change is being ignored

Bright students always suffer in the name of equality. I am in favour of equality and social justice. Special Needs kids are a part of the system. However, so are the bright kids and they aren't really recognised. They don't get any funding, or any help for being 'bright'. So we don't 'help' and 'support' the top 15% or 25% of kids in the education system. All exam results are political. The goal posts of pass rates are decided outside of school in order to fit and suit international and national league tables. I would say that in the UK, a GCSE pass at grade A now, is equivalent to a 1970/1980 grade C. Schools have been academised in the main, and they are run as businesses. Great salaries for the CEO and his/her tribe. In theory, schools are supposed to promote and acknowledge social mobility, social reproduction, cultural capital, habitus and so on and so forth. In reality, the social ladder is a hard climb. A majority of kids that leave Uni with a degree actually have gained nothing more than a £27,000 (and more) student loan debt. Whilst kids with special needs are given more than that in funding just to be able to attend primary through secondary school. Me thinks Pierre Bourdieu would have had something to say! But who listens to theorists anymore??!!
