Question: Impossible!? Should we cut this word out of our dictionaries!?
In order to become more positive!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

good shout, I like your way of thinking!Www@QuestionHome@Com

I assume you believe everything is possible, including pigs flying on their own!? Within specific fields the word impossible is not used, which is their choice, but to remove it from the language would not have the end results you are looking for, as there are many things that are truly impossible!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

no we should just cut it out of our day to day vocabulary, i mean if it wasn't in the dictionary how would we describe the fact that we cannot fly, impossible!.

and don't give me all of that "everything is possible if you just believe", we simply cannot fly!. unless it is on a plane!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Maybe we should also remove the words hate, evil, murder, hunger, thirst, poverty, and cancer too!. Removing a word from a dictionary doesn't get rid of it in a material sense nor does it remove the idea!.!.!.there will always be pessimists!.

Hope this helps
Keep thinking :)Www@QuestionHome@Com

i agree , we shouldnt but we cant always be happy and positive

imagine:
you got lost somewhere in the dessert, a guy comes and tells you 1 million dollars or you die, wtf youre lost with no money what do you say!? impossibile !

be logicWww@QuestionHome@Com

No way!. Impossibility's do exist!. If you want to be positive you have to look beyond these things and try!. You cannot have happy without sad, things are relative and if you want one end of the spectrum, you need something to contrast it with!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Think about what you are saying, if the word impossible didn't exist, then we would not look for something to achieve, and that is a ludicrous question anyway!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

ok who's the hippy that put this idea in your head!? is is POSSIBLE to pick up an 18 wheeler truck!? no!. it's IMPOSSIBLE!. and if that word didn't exist, it would be "CAN'T"!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

No, because no matter how far we progress or how positive we are, there are always going to be things that are just impossible!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

no!. its a word in the english language, and it has a meaning!. regardless of it is negative or not!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think that's ridiculous there are things that are impossible so if u remove it from the dictionary it wont make any difference whatsoeverWww@QuestionHome@Com

that would mean we would have to remove the words

war
violence
unfortunate
enemy
tragedy
failure
limitation
fear
pain
suffer

as well!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

When it becomes possible to literally stick your head up you ***!. Until then, no everything is not possible!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I don't think that we should cut it completely out of our vocabulary, but for the most part, I think we could do without it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

No!.

Worst idea I've heard in days (and this is after hearing a drunk guy suggest I make out with him on Saturday!.!.!.!.I'm straight!.)Www@QuestionHome@Com

It's impossible to be happy if you don't help others!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Why are we so uncivilized and resort to destruction!?
Just leave it alone to rest in peace - not pieces!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

That would be an impossible task!Www@QuestionHome@Com

well some things ARE really impossible!.!. like can you cut off your feet and eat it!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

no!.!.!.that is ridiculous!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

uh no!. I think that taking the impossiblities out of life would just be wrong!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Cutting something out of life does not fix thingsWww@QuestionHome@Com
