Experience speaking...

Perhaps you should check out the use of the subjunctive tense in
English (German has the same tense). It's called "contrary to fact",
which means that it's simply a hypothetical situation.

This is exactly my point.
You are imagining that you are in my "situation" and you're telling me
what you would do in such situation.

So what does that have to do with "experience"?


People reactions are mostly directed by experience.
2 people react differently to the same stimulis or to the same situation
because they have had different experience. Because their life before the
stimulis or the situation has been different.

I'm not really surprised to be obliged to explain such *basic* concept to
a moron like you.

Considering the absurdity of the rocking chair explanation, I'm not
surprised that you are reduced to name-calling.

LOL, I see that you was waiting anxiously for my answer in front of your
computer.

Ahhh, I see that you were (note correct verb form) waiting anxiously
for my answer in front of your computer.

It looks like you're the fish saying, "Boy, I've got a big one on the
line".
