What does the saying "Mind the gap" mean?
347987
On Bank underground station in London, the station is on a sharp bend, this makes it impossible for the train carriages to keep all of the door steps close to the platform, this means that there is a gap over which the traveller has to step.To warn of this there is a recorded message that plays over the Tannoy all the time that the train is in the station, it repeats "Mind the Gap" continuously.

As far as I know, I'm pretty sure it means "to discuss"; hence the word "debate".

It means "live in the present"....forget the past and don't sweat the future. Concentrate on the here and now.

I THINK it means go to the middle.  In other words, be a moderate and not a leftist or rightest.  Extremes are never good in politics.\n\nI would have this verified by other posts.\n\nIt can also mean get to the center of an issue.  It depends upon the content of your question.

This is the concept of "the god of the gaps".  People had "gaps" in their knowledge and felt compelled to fill that gap with an answer.  God eased that compulsion, made them feel that they weren't so confused and lost.  Now that science, technology, advancement in general is closing those gaps, God is no longer needed.  The god of the gaps is shrinking rapidly.\n\nFrom Wikipedia:\n\nThe term God-of-the-gaps argument usually refers to an argument that assumes an act of God as the explanation for an unknown phenomenon, and is a variant of an argument from ignorance. Commonly such an argument can be reduced to the following form:\n\n--There is a gap in scientific knowledge. \n--The gap is filled with acts of a god (and therefore also proves, or helps to prove, the existence of said god). \n\nOne example of such an argument might be as follows: "Because science can't figure out exactly how species change, it must be God who causes it to happen."

I believe what he's saying is......Lord I don't want to be a coward.\nAnd the 'peace' of cowardice could mean " a false peace".\nThank you and God Bless.

I agree with The Professor (real or not) but regarding the last example he used (See below)\n>>>Thus, the rule requires you to say We can come to an agreement only if everyone is willing to compromise. But you can say more naturally, with slightly different emphasis and with no risk of misunderstanding, We can only come to an agreement if everyone is willing to compromise.<<<\nI tend to disagree.  These two arrangements do convey different meanings.  The first one means "No compromise, no agreement (i.e. a compromise is the requirement for an agreement)."  The second sentence means "An agreement is the only thing and nothing else we arrive at upon a compromise. (i.e. when a compromise is reached, we have no choice but agree)."

Why do you need it?\n\nDo you mean divide?

the mood is one of satisfaction. the writer is saying that when you have a fence dividing you, it does not "divide" but it prevents.the tone, i guess would be the same. Why exactly are you reading this poem? i had to for a school project.

It's a quote from "Hamlet" by Shakespeare.\n\nWhat seems crazy at first glance (madness) may have a logical pattern or reason (method).

I believe that it refers to either the absence of power (meaning, no one is in control) or it means that there are no politics going on.\n\nMy guess is that it refers to the absence of a controlling force or entity.  Right now, there is almost a political vacuum in Iraq.  No one is completely in control, which is why there is a civil war brewing.

Do you mean "peace of mind" or a "piece of someones mind"?\nEither way, we are kind of stuck in this human dance of disagreeing and agreeing, testing and contesting.  But we usually move forward anyway.  Nice, that way.

It is a manner of thinking for  example: If I do this, this will result, and people with think it is wrong. But if I do this, this will result and other people with think it is right. That  is kinda where the term sitting on the fence came from. One hand your right the other hand you are wrong.
