A common slogan is never true in its intended sense but is true of many people in another, more literal, sense. I bet it has been true of many people on this forum. What is it? | ||

Is it an advertising slogan? Are the ads on the LTPF pages relevant? | ||

does the slogan relate in any way to : health? money? love? intellect? education? food? alcohol? freedom? hobbies? clothes? tv? films? art? books? politics? children? parents? family? history? animals? sport? writing? the body? proverbs? voting? decisions? work? relaxation? communication? reading? competition? puzzles? status? age? physical appearance? (Please answer each for first meaning, then literal sense) is the slogan of the typs.. 'people are....'? or 'someone who is X is Y'? this could be quite a guessing game! | ||

so the intended sense of the slogan: yes for - freedom, politics, yesish for - health, money, love, intellect, education, food, alcohol, hobbies, clothes, tv, films, art, books, children, parents, family, sport, writing, the body, decisions, work, relaxation, communication, reading, competition, status, physical appearance, no for - proverbs, voting, puzzles, age, literal meaning: yes for - family, age yope for - children, no for the rest Correct? Does the slogan include the word freedom? or free? is it a slogan that promotes a particular political viewpoint? or intends to justify one? are any of these relevant? - race? prison? the legal system? laws? unwritten laws? human behaviour generally? all the things that got 'yesishes' for intended meaning - is it relevant that they are all things that might be affected by a lack of freedom? freedom to act as you please? is freedom form worry about what other people might think of you relevant? does the slogan use the word 'family'? age? a particular age? is it a complete sentence? one word? two? three? is it a question? a statement? of 'fact'? an opinion? a demand? a command? a suggection about what action people should take? a suggestion about what people should think? a comparison? a complaint? sad? happy? | ||

you didn't answer this question: Does the slogan include the word freedom? or free? is the slogan nationalistic in some way? does it relate to America? 'american values'? is it essentially right wing? left wing? is religion relevant? God? you say it's intended meaning is never true - is this because what it states is actually impossible? does it stae that something 'always' happens? or 'never' happens? does it exagerate? it's literal maening - relating to family relationships? to the amount of family a person has? to where the family lives? to what the family does? to whether a person has a family or not? could it be true for someone who has no children? someone who has no siblings? could it be truw for someone who is adopted? someone who has no living family members? someone who is not married? does it relate to marriage at all? (either the intended or the literal meaning) | ||

does the slogan mention the word 'brother'? 'sister'? does the intended meaning relate to the use of the term 'brother' to mean someone unrelated with whom one has a strong bond? someone one might care for? look after? does the literal meaning relate to the relationship between siblings? brothers? sisters? brother-sister? would it be enough to have one sibling? so the intended meaning relates to prison? unwritten laws? freedom from those laws? or freedom from caring about those laws? it's a five word statement? does it relate to caring for each other? being equitable? | ||

On second thought, it wasn't one of my initial three, but it was an early one. |
