[QUOTE="Jimi77, post: 8885249, member: 673702"] So lets look at the word force. No it doesn't require physical force. Ie my kids are forced to follow my rules in my home, but it's not under the the threat of physical harm. I'm forced to comply with my company's DEI policies, but I'm pretty sure my boss isn't going to kick my @$$. Looking at this dictionary definition/example: "The last minute goal forced overtime" Nobody thinks the ref is going to kick somebody's @$$ because of the overtime. And Sleepy Joe tried to mandate the vax (and did get some mandates through). Why did "they" have to mandate the vax? Because some people didn't want to get the vax. What do you call it when you make somebody do something against their will? Would that be forcing somebody to do something? Why is somebody "Forced to admit their error?" Not because somebody is going to kick their arse, but because they'd look like a stubborn idiot if they don't admit the error. A good example would be Rob trying to force THX to admit bones have nerves in them.
