CHAD back in my days during WW2 would be a nose and a half face peering over a wall with a statement saying something like "What no eggs" or something like that.

The description of "Chad" sounds like that of a #narcissist. Now, if you'd added "charming" to Chad's list of amazing characteristics, he'd DEFINITELY be a narcissist.

I don't have a Chad in my life but I have a lot of amazing men.

First one has to be my Pa, he raised me from birth with my grandmother. He was a very hard worker who would wake at 3.30 am to drive a garbage truck for canterbury council. Then come home and attend the garden unless either cricket or tennis was on.
After dinner he would tell me a new story and teach me a song. His favourite was Goodnight Irene and Daisey Daisey.

Next is my hubby who copped alot of slack from Pa because of his long hair. My Pa's favourite thing to say to him was ' Are you a Sheila or something, when are you going to cut that hair'
But that man worked hard and helped me raise our 13 beautiful children.

Last one is my eldest son ( all my sons are amazing but) this son has also worked very hard and raised his two kids pretty much by himself . A very hard task as his 15 year old son has severe Autism .

I'm lucky to have known or know these three very amazing men and to have had or have them in my life

Thank goodness Baird invented television or the world would have soon been overrun with children.

By the way the true inventor of TV was actually Farnsworth not Baird. He came up with the idea before Baird as well as a Russian guy

Aye, but the answers are of unequal value or worth!

Did it not depend on the inventory of the cathode ray tube? As a middle school physics teacher observed, "inventions" depend on the work of prior discoveries and breakthroughs. It's unlikely "pure" invention ever exists.

Too late third world countries are already over run with too many unwanted starving kiddies dying of malnutrition. Maybe put contraceptives in the water to stop them breeding it’s so sad

I've often wondered why they didn't do something like that. I said that to someone who was involved in raising funds for Ethiopia years ago and they said, because it would be inhumane, apparently there was a discussion on it and that's what was said. Forget it being inhumane for all those children.

World vision that who they worked for.
I use to donate to them until I found out less than 20% actually goes to help
