It's like arguing with my mother. She'll say things such as Quote: "It's not my opinion, it's fact!"
Quote: "I so miss my mother. It was so nice to have someone to talk to who didn't base everything on logic". ..and then she gets upset when I tell her that she's dogmatic and illogical.

If she isn't that old, you could take her on a holiday to some european country and have her see some windmills in the inside for herself. |

Does she realize winmills where around long, LONG before even steam engines (of any useful capacity)...? YOU CAN NOT LET THIS TRAVESTY CONTINUE. Tell her that this is an obvious sign of dementia and that if she continues this behaviour, you will have no other option than to lock her up in a home.

You guys realize that I was talking about those things that generate electricity, right?

waldchr said: You guys realize that I was talking about those things that generate electricity, right? No, because you said a windmill. Most people associate the word Windmill with the older type of devices that were used to mill grain (hence the name) or pump water. The modern varieties that generate electricity are generally referred to as Wind Turbines. So does she believe that the old pre-electric types were pwered by the wind, and not the modern ones?

sorry about the mix up. That's just what we call them around here (mainly because we don't have any "real" windmills). LennyLen said: So does she believe that the old pre-electric types were pwered by the wind, and not the modern ones? Yes

You could show her the wikipedia page on windmills? If she knows what wikipedia is. |

Yes So her theory is that these things are completely capable of being driven by the wind, but now we have electricity we don't allow that to happen? I think these ones from Manchester are powered electrically: [My site] [Tetrominoes] |
