When a person tries to back up or withdraw from an opinion or idea they previously were connected with, or supported, is that an example of backpedalling or backpaddling?

I always thought that to do this was to "backpaddle", as that's how I learned the term. However, I've also heard many folks use "backpedal".

Personally, I think both of them are good and accurate -- one simply uses a bicycle for the metaphor, while the other uses a boat. However, I suppose only one of them is the "preferred" word usage. Which one do YOU prefer? (And yes, I do have a reason for asking).

Thanks! :)

I haven't. I was always a heartbreaker, I know I feel bad about it. i think I always broke up with the guys before they could break my heart.

"Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God"

I've heard this many times and never gave it a second thought. What does it mean?

Jesus christ came to these world because he loved you and he wanted you to have eternal life with him. He came here to save you from the lake of fire and the hands of the Enemy, These is real, this is not a fairy tale, there is more to these life than what your eyes see. These life comes and goes in a instant but your soul lives forever. You decide if you live with jesus christ or if you live with the other. In jesus name I hope you make the correct decesion. God Bless You all beautiful children of God

I've been to Niagara Falls before. We're not going to go to the casinos because we have two small children. We're going to Marineland on Saturday and then driving to Toronto. Do we stay on the US side Friday night and cross at the Rainbow Bridge Sat. morning? Or cross at the Peace Bridge Friday afternoon/evening and stay on the Canadian side. My two concerns are 1) Don't want to wait in a long line at the border 2) Inexpensive hotel. I already have a reservation at a hotel on the NY side but I can change it.

Is there a special person from the past that you never forgot, that comes to your mind from time to time, and even if you have a partner or maybe are married? Will you ever forget this person?
