Exactly.
Do you understand what I mean when I say it's a dialectic?
Does anyone?
Why the fuck do I bother?
Fuck all ya'.
Explain what you mean in plain English and I think you'll find a lot more understanding from people on here. It's not a word commonly used in general conversation, is it, so go easy on people mate!!
I'm following you as I looked up the meaning on www.dictionary.com.
a synthesis from theses
perhaps.
try a marxist forum
You have, it's still bollocks though, and it's still a case of excuse making.
I know, but people tend to get by by doing as little as possible - it's human nature (and I am not having a go at MoK here).
I just think that sometimes you may forget that a lot of the people on this board are quite young (the P&D forum could be the odd one out though) and so a lot could go right over people's heads without it being spelled out a little simpler.
Though I'm in my thirties and still scratching my head over abstract individualism...
Aye - so imagine a 17 year old (for example) trying to get their nut around it! :no:
Well actually the best we've got is body fat percentage, which is far more accurate, but takes longer to determine. Presumably doctors are intelligent enough to judge when BMI is an appropriate measure, and when it isn't. If a clearly obese man walks into your office and you give him the target of getting his BMI down, then I don't see it as a poor measurement in that situation.
In clinic, so far I've seen BMI being used as a guide is for anaesthetists before they see the patient.
