I think that Alameda is talking about a very idealistic situation. She assumes that a man who loves his girlfriend/wife, will not abuse the wife´s kindness and love. I think this is very much removed from reality.

Of course, I agree that love has to be natural and felt, but we live in a physical world and some things just don´t depend on spirituality. When a person (man or a woman) knows he/she can get away with something, he/she most probably will eventually use this opportunity in one way or another.

Also the problem is that we do not live in an equal world. We do not start from the same spot. Men and women are raised very differently and I think that women are raised thinking that they need to please men, while men are taught to be more egocentric. Therefore, there has to be an active process to reverse this damage and get women on an equal footing with men. Only then, idealistic, true love that not only takes but also gives, can be possible.

So we are posting links now instead of our own opinions?

 Ah....love, a very long complicated topic....you didn´t like that song? Something to think about, don´t you think? Too busy to do much typing...sorry. Where is the add link button?

Well... I think your own thoughts would be more valuable then a song, but the song was nice, thank you. The add link button is the "link" icon on the bar on top, right next to "go forward", second to the left from the smileys icon. To add a link, highlight a word in your post and click on the link icon, a small box will pop up and insert the URL in the "Link URL" line.

 There is no such thing as you mentioned here....There is only an add quote... box.

Also, have classes started? I got over 6 messages last week saying they were starting, this week nothing, but it looks like they started???

Above the ´add quote box´ there is a grey-coloured bar which has B I U ABC etc..ending in .

I am not a member of the classes but I believe they started on Monday 11th

 Not on my screen. Directly above the box for adding the message is  B I U ABC etc..ending in , above that is a blue box with add quote text in it.

As for the classes, I did not get any notification on it´s starting on the 11th. I did get at least half a dozen false start messages, so this time I didn´t know it actually started. I did take Erdinc´s class on Saturday. His class was fabulous and I can hardly wait for another one.

Above your text box, there should be these: B I U ABC four allign icons, two enumeration icons, go back arrow, go forward arrow, link icon, break link icon and emoticons. 

The link icon will be unavailable unless you select a word that you want to make into a link.

 hyperlink  Ok, I see now.....but the preview option is not available.....I miss it.

Thank you!

Your welcome There is no preview option because right now we are typing in rich text right away, the message is already formatted, so we thought there is no use for a preview option.

Thanks for the link to the vowel harmony lesson though.
