Any chance someone can get a bottle to me by tomorrow evening's party?
273kelvin comments on Nov 22, 2019:
I once infused vodka with green by just putting in the bottle and leaving it. The odd thing was it was like Pastis or Pernod. in that it discoloured and went cloudy when you added any mixer.

Who do you think of when you vote?
273kelvin comments on Nov 16, 2019:
We have an election on the 12th December. I have not voted Labour in the recent past because I did not like my incumbent MP but she is not standing now and I am not only voting Labour but urging others to do so on FB. We have had too many years of Tory austerity. Our once proud NHS, welfare and public sector have been so striped that they are almost unrecognisable. Add to that the prospect of Brexit with Boris in charge would mean the NHS sold off to US pharma and US crap foods allowed in. Sorry but chlorinated chicken, rat hairs in pasta, and pus in milk are not wanted in the UK.

Quite appropriate for today as it is a GUY Fawkes mask that he wears. NB. November 5th is our fireworks night (I can hear them outside atm). The night Guy Fawkes was caught trying to blow up parliament with gunpowder 1605. (Many think that he was the last man to enter there with honest intentions.) He was hung drawn and quartered and his effigy is burnt on bonfires. (Hence the masks.) So next time you feel a bit bad about 4th July remember that we blow fireworks to celebrate torturing and executing a terrorist

If it really is on doctrine and practice then no. However, I have seen a lot of FB campaigns to ban halal meat. They`re ostensibly arguing against the methods of slaughter but you notice no other animal welfare issues that they are concerned with and they never say halal/kosher. Even though the slaughter method is the same. Add to that, although it looks awful the halal/kosher method is quite humane. It cuts off the carotid arteries and starves the brain of blood till you blackout. If I were to be executed? It is a method I might choose.

273kelvin comments on Nov 4, 2019:
Okay, this guy is an arseshole and if a woman posted that I would swipe left too. However, there are some small grains of truth there. I have pretty much stopped online dating atm because you see the same faces month in and month out. Some of them have been there for years. Now I would say this to either gender. "Why are you single?" This is not a blame game but a genuine self-examination. You look at your break-ups and point fingers often quite rightly at the other party but how many of us ever say "Yeah it was my fault? (mostly/maybe/perhaps)" So we all go back into the pond with the same baggage we had before and maybe some more. Then we look online. You would think that of all of the stories in this naked city there would be plenty of fish for us but it does not work like that. Then it is a percentage game. Like a cop show where at first all they know about the suspect is that he is a white male 6 foot between 30-40 years of age. Then he drives a black Ford SUV, is left-handed, and travels a lot. The numbers grow smaller. The same thing happens with online dating. Age, smoker-non. politics/religion, interests, location, attractiveness and most importantly on the same dating site as you, all whittle down our choices. Some are just not worth it. People that talk all the time or never learned to chew with their mouth closed, you`ve met them. Then you have the others that are so fucked up that they need to date a psychiatric nurse. Then you have the ones that really are not able to date through no fault of their own. One lady, I had a date with last year and all went well but she kept canceling the second date due to family stuff. Okay, family comes first but if it is always going to be that way then be honest with yourself and others. You just don't have time for another person in your life. (I see she is back online now). The point is, whatever sex you are. There may seem like thousands of potential mates out there but once you get down to it. You are lucky if you find 2-3

273kelvin comments on Nov 4, 2019:
You can look at it this way. It is rather like an election with no incumbents. You watch all the primaries and see them all slagging each other off as incompetent, misguided, corrupt or a combination of all three. As it happens you pick one candidate to vote for but find out later that they are a lying scumbag too. Now here is the difference, unlike the vote you cast, you can un-support that choice and say "None of the above". Keep your skepticism about all the others and just include one more.

273kelvin comments on Nov 1, 2019:
"Left hand down a bit...Right hand up a bit." We used to listen to this but it was also a product of religious lawmaking. If you remember there was no TV till early Sunday evening (Starting with religious programs) so everyone listened to the radio. Some were great like this and "Round the horn" but others less so. Do you recall "Sing something simple?" I hated having to listen to that. It was only many years later that I found out the Mike Sams singers did the backing vocals for "I am the walrus"

273kelvin comments on Nov 1, 2019:
Lots here have commented on it being a pre-christian holiday, here is why/how. Yes, it celebrates the solstice but just after. If you live an agricultural life? Then there comes a time when you have to decide what animal stock you keep through the winter and what you slaughter. This was done at the solstice and there is only so much meat you can preserve, so what do you do with the rest? Have a feast and invite everyone to join in.

The 10 US cities with the worst crime rates.
273kelvin comments on Oct 31, 2019:
A classic case of false logic. The main cause of crime is poverty (Wall st and the white house notwithstanding). So even if your meme is correct (and it is disputable). It is quite understandable that poor cities with higher amounts of ethnic communities will be left-wing and vote for ethnic candidates. Did you really think that they would vote for the white billionaires of the GOP? Okay, lets put it another way. Suppose I point out "ATTRACTIVE WOMEN WITH BIG TITS MARRY SUCCESSFUL RICH GUYS" It sounds plausible. The head cheerleader and the quarterback are American dating cliches. Does that mean that going with poor guys makes women ugly and their tits shrink?
What is the purpose of this site?
273kelvin comments on Oct 30, 2019:
This is a broad-church (if you pardon the phrase). It can be a dating site but be prepared to travel, as distances between members can be large. It can be a place to vent your thoughts and feelings about religion. Many in the bible belt find this therapeutic It can also be a place to just hang-out. Without someone bringing up "Have you found Jesus?" and you saying "No, have tried looking down the back of the sofa?" Explore some of the many groups we have here. Singles/mingles/chat is a good one to start with.

I keep in touch with most of my exes. With 2 exceptions. my ex-wife who so poisoned my eldest daughter that she will have nothing to do with me. (I hear that she is not talking to her mom now too). I have absolutely no desire to see or hear from her again. The other is my last great love affair which left me so fucked up that she is like radioactive material to me. Any more contact would be liable to send me spiraling down. All the rest are great. I see J quite often and we get drunk and just sleep together without sex. R is my other daughter's mom and even though we tried to unsuccessfully rekindle it a few years back. We still can stay reasonably civil. I help out with the odd man chore. Some others are on my FB list but I won't out give clues.

I did not know that I had a restrictive frenulum. For those not used to uncircumcised men, this is a small strip of skin that connects the foreskin to the head at the apex of the vee. It can stop a guy pulling the skin all the way back. I had masturbated of course and could pull it back enough to clean, so I did not know it was supposed to go further back. My first time was with a lady 12 years older who loved a good romp. I made her cum 3 times but she found blood in her vagina afterward. It was only then that I confessed that she was my 1st and I showed her the rip. It must have been about 1cm of tear. It may have hurt at the time but I did not notice and looking at it now I cannot even see a trace of it left

I don't know why anyone would just put pics of their kids up. But kids on dating sites, in general, are wrong. It is worse in my mind when a woman puts any pics of her kids up. If a guy does it? Well, he is showing he is caring (but still wrong). If a woman does it? Then let's face it most preditors are male and they will be the only ones seeing them.

They came in and I could not resist saying "Dont look in the kitchen" "Why what's in there?" "Nothing" "What do you mean nothing?" "Nothing.

I love Dylans songs, well most of them. As for his religious conversion? A man/artist can go where he likes as long as he remains true to himself and his art. The fact is, his gospel album was bad. His autobiography said nothing about his Jewish upbringing even though all his kids were mitzvahed. What does rile me is when people call him a poet. Sorry, but he is not. He is a great songwriter. One of the best 20th-century ones but a poet? no. The scene in "Annie Hall" where Woody Allen's new gf starts quoting "Just like a woman" like it was Keats. Brings it into hilarious perspective

Yes I have heard the same argument put much better from Jordan Peterson. The thing is if they were correct then we would see a correlation between counties with high or low beliefs and crime rates in those countries. A brief look will show that its not the case. In fact many high crime rates come from very religious places. Ethiopia and Rwanda are both nearly top of both tables. Okay that might be due to poverty but the USA has an atheist % of just 4.6% but has one of the highest prison populations in the western world.

Genetically, females are the blueprint model and males the specialist ones. So Eve would have come 1st.

Here is what Jack Horner is quoted in Wikipedia saying about it "It's not a science museum at all...it's not a pseudo-science museum…There's nothing scientific about it." Healy, Donna (October 18, 2009). "Dinosaur museum presents biblical view of origins". The Billings Gazette. Retrieved 28 May 2017.

Size. If a film is a massive blockbuster then it is no longer a cult film. Similarly, if a small religion takes young people and secludes them away, denying them access to their families until they are totally emersed, devoted and focused on only the ideology. Then it is called a cult. When the catholic church does it, it is called an established religion. I remember my dad (an atheist too) showing me round the places he grew up. He pointed out the corner where once a month young girls would wait for the bus to take them off to a convent. Describing the heartfelt tears from their families that often would never see them again. If that ain't a cult I don't know what is?

Not my type of thing but I noticed in the trailer a joke stolen from the late great UK comic Bob Monkhouse. "They all laughed when I said that I was going to be a comedian Well they`re not laughing now"

Dad was an NCO and the rules of the mess were, no talk about sport, politics or other NCOs wives. So what does that leave? the weather? A camping trip and 3 of us were there, alcohol and pot imbibed. After what was in my gfs opinion a much too lengthy discussion about the campfire itself. My gf exclaimed, "WILL YOU ALL STOP GOING ON ABOUT THE BLOODY FIRE!". A stunned silence ensued and my mate said with an innocent face that would not melt butter "There are a million things that you can talk about around a campfire and one of them is...... the fire"
Sometimes I'm confused on what to call myself.

A few years ago a guy put a £5 bet on with the bookmakers William Hill that Elvis would come back riding Shergar through London and win Wimbledon. They gave him odds of 10.000.000/1 but later had to call him up and get him to reduce his stake to 5p as they did not have sufficient funds to cover the bet if he won. My agnosticism is slightly higher than that as.... Elvis did exist. Shergar`s body has never been found and someone does win Wimbledon every year.
America’s Founders Wanted Church And State To Be Separate And So Should You
273kelvin comments on Oct 3, 2019:
To view the constitution on this matter, you have to look at it in context. Most of the founding fathers were of British descent so I will concentrate on the problems that England had with an established religion up to that point. Europe was Catholic until Martin Luther and religious divisions began. Henry viii latched onto the idea to facilitate his divorce and appropriate church funds. That made him de facto pope of England. Monasteries are dissolved, priests, nuns, and monks marry. England is protestant and Catholics are persecuted. After Henry viii and Edward vi, Mary comes along and its all change. Priests, nuns, and monks come out of retirement, leave their spouses and Protestants have to hide now. A reign of terror gives her the name of "Bloody Mary" Then Elizabeth i and all change again. After that James i of Scotland who although Catholic keeps the county stable by outwardly converting and doing what he is told so he can secretly carry on being gay. (the king James bible is commissioned) Not so his son Charles i who wants to push towards Catholicism again. A civil war ensues. Charles is executed and the UK becomes a protestant republic. Life is drear, sport, theatre, and Christmas along with many other things are banned. The monarchy is invited back under Charles ii. All religions are tolerated but Charles has no legitimate heir. His brother James ii is very Catholic but as he has no heir too, so no worries. Then James' wife gets pregnant and the nursery rhyme "Rock-a-by baby" speaks to people's fears. Parliament fires James ii and invites William of orange and Mary over to take the throne. Mary has a dubious claim and William is a fat German with no English but they are not Catholic and that will do. James lands in Ireland from France and he and Billy duke it out in the Battle of the Boyne. James loses and apart from a failed coup by his son in Scotland, the UK is under the protestant Hanoverian rule. Not that life all sweetness and light and many choose a life in the new world to get away from all this madness. By the time we get to George iii (who was actually mad), it is no wonder that the establishment of a state religion would be the very last can of worms that the new USA would want to open. Btw the UK monarch is still de facto pope. His/her prime minister was still in charge of choosing bishops right up until Tony Blair who abdicated the role due to him being a closet Catholic. Converting after he left the office.
Rogue State: Sanctions on the US?

What if the more likely scenario of individuals boycotting US goods were to occur. Such many do with Israel?
I just got into a debate with someone about Jesus' crucifixion being God's Will, hypothetically.

I often find it extremely mind-boggling just how many "Christians" have never read the Bible.

Firstly, you did exactly the right thing by calling him out. I don`t know precisely what happened to turn him. Either he expected some kind of divine light to fall on you after his statement about god bringing you two together or his church cronies went to work on him. Possibly a combination of both. The thing about these hypocrites is that they talk the talk but don`t walk the walk. "Thou shalt not bear false witness". "Do not attempt to remove the straw from your neighbors eye.." "Let he who is without sin". Seem to hold no meaning to the bigotry of tribal religions.

It does depend on the woman and sometimes the state of the relationship. Making baby sex was mind-blowing the amount of initiative she showed and we have a lovely daughter to show for it. She who dares wins. Later on I find that older women are less afraid to make the first move. Either that or I am finding ladies more in tune with my sexuality.
What have you done to lower your sex drive?

Wow! you need a lover like that like you want a hole in the head.
Well.

I kinda figured that would happen after your previous post. Sorry that you have to go through this but it will be best in the long run. The guy seems like a jerk, sorry but he does. You had an agreement to keep religion out of the relationship and he tried to impose his views onto you. You will be much better off without him. It may seem hard at first. It might be difficult to find a nice secular guy but at least you will be you and not someone elses version of you.

It is just a bunch of words. If it means nothing to you, then it is no biggie. Plus sides: It keeps Frankies parents sweet A damn good excuse for a party - Meet all the family. Extra presents for baby J off its godparents. (for life) Baby J might might want it later in life. You never know when something like that can come in handy. Ten years back my gfs grandkids needed to be baptized to attend the local Catholic school (it was the best one in the area). Not many relatives/friends had been baptized so I got the job of being godfather as I had been. In the end, it will be you and Frankie who decides on religious upbringing, not a bit of water.

The ancient Greeks who invented democracy, never had elections. They would round up the requisite number of citizens each year at random off the street and then force them to sit in the assembly (a bit like jury service). Often I think that it might be a better way of doing it.
