Word Association

I am not an experienced forum user but have noticed how difficult it is to discuss when people get stuck on words.

To each of us words have different meanings. This may be cultural, geographical, emotional or experiential.

Here are some words that I have observed to cause much confusion, discussion and arguments:
Love, Forgiveness, Jesus, God, Reality, Rape, Terrorist, Religion, Male, Female, Sex, Indifferent, Bible, Hate, Compassion, Opposite, Duality, Guilt, Regret

Are there any more words that people have noticed that cause confusion or the blood to boil?

I would like to make a list so that I can know in advance which words confuse.
I am not sure what I will do with the list (I am sure there are plenty of good suggestions).

possible worlds

Thanks smears… Is this irony.

I read your reply and sat far an hour to try to figure what you were trying to say by writing “possible words”.

I was prepared to write up a reply which detailed my confusion of your reply. I thought you were trying to be smart.

I looked again and read “possible worlds”

I think that defines irony… The letter “L” makes a huge difference…

So yes “possible worlds” does cause confusion… :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

No this…
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Possible_world

That causes confusion.

Yep… Got what you were referring to… I need to use my glasses more often.

Good link, interesting reading and confusing too… :-k

Welcome aboard XIONG YAN, nice to have you here… enjoy ~ :smiley:

Just found another two…

The Mind, Afterlife

The mind is that which isn’t describable in current physical terms. The afterlife is a myth, which is an offshoot of the ad hocs that people use in theories which contradict physicalism, when they’re trying to assert that the mind is it’s own thing, and reject the notion that eventually physics will explain it down to matter.
