I was listening to a radio doc on shipyard workers of the Northeast of England. It seems that back in the day there was not enough time for workers to visit the bathroom. You could be down a hold or keel and it could take a good 20 mins to get to a toilet. As you were also paid on piece work that meant that you went near to job. Not just #1s but #2s as well. So they had a guy whose job it was to clean up the turds. He was also paid "per item" @ 6d or half a shilling, but to increase his wage he would cut the big ones in half. Consequently, he was known as "Half a bob a jobby Bobby".

Ask for equal time. Be respectful of his beliefs and open to whatever teachings etc. that he tries but with the proviso that he does the same. So if he wants you to watch a video for 20 mins then he has to watch 20 mins of Richard Dawkins or similar. He will soon get tired of quid pro quo or see your side.

A Zen priest and friend of a family was asked to give the family a blessing. This is what he wrote: Grandfather dies Father dies Son dies The family was as you can imagine a little perplexed at this rather macabre blessing and so they asked him to explain. He said "Take a good look at it and its sequence. Grandfather dies. Father dies. Son dies. All in order, there is no tragedy there. Only the natural way things should go"

I am English so it does not apply. Not that we all say things like "Cricky" or "Oh dear how frightfully awful", mostly I would just say "Fuck" or in extremes, "Cunt hooks". My Jewish ex has a good one that is neither blasphemous to the religious or atheist "Shitty death"

It would have to be my namesake, Lord Kelvin. Although he was a bit of a religious nut and he never got the hang of nuclear physics. He was the last of the great 19th century scientists. Publishing over 200 papers before the age of 21, some under assumed names in order not to embarrass his tutors. His early work on superconductivity earned his name on the SI unit of temperature. His work on underwater communications (he helped design the 1st trans-Atlantic phone cable) led to my dad who was a radio guy in a submarine in WW2 naming me after him.

Where I live borders on Toxteth. People may remember the name from the riots in the 80s. After that, Granby Street and environs really did become a no-go area. The cops stayed away and the dealers moved in. With them came the prostitutes and muggers, it was not a nice place to live. Property prices fell through the floor and Muslims bought in cheap. Some from the Indian sub-continent but quite a few from Somalia. It was they that helped clean up the area. They got rid of the street dealers and hookers (not always by legit means). Okay, it is not the burbs and there is still crime. But it is no way as bad as before. Once a month in summer there is a street market and kids can play there without used needles everywhere. Plus we have one of the best vegetable stores you have ever seen. I was there a few months ago. One of my regular customers, an Asian family. large and hierarchical. Grandma at the top and grandad.. well he spends a lot of time at the local cricket club. Giving kids something else to do in the summer other than just hanging around on mountain bikes.

The kindest thing you can do for him is to tell him that he needs to be more selfish. Now that might seem an odd thing to say but it is not. When I went to a career/ training seminar the lecturer said something very profound. "You have to play to your weaknesses as much as your strengths. For example. if you are a thief and light-fingered? Ffs do not go for a job that puts you in strangers' homes. You will get caught and lose your job or more. If you cant get up in the morning don't become a mailman etc." Tell him that he is not only wasting other people's time but his own as well. As it is quite obvious that he will be crap at the job and make not only theirs but his life worse.

273kelvin comments on Sep 13, 2019:
NIXON WAS INNOCENT!! Well, maybe not but I remember the great writer Alister Cooke explaining that to the historian it is not what actually happened that is important but what is believed to have happened at the time. This was in the context of the Boston tea party. It matters little that it may well have been just a drunken mob and the British soldiers were merely defending themselves. It was the spin of the event that helped fire up the revolution. Hypothetically, if subsequent papers were to reveal that Nixon was the victim of an elitist plot, it would matter naught. The taint on the republican party that led to the election of Jimmy Carter would still be the historical significance of the event and the use of "gate" to describe political scandals.

We make heroes out of high achievers and gods out of heroes. Then we are suddenly surprised when they turn out to have feet of clay. The phrase "He was no saint" is oft-quoted. If you read about the lives of saints you will find that they were not too nice either. For all their faults they leave there mark on history. You have a constitution however much flawed because of Jefferson. Does it really matter if Martin Luther King's wife used to "fall down" a lot? Our own British hero Churchill has his statue in the houses of parliament. Only one of of 3 commoners ever to have received a full state funeral. Yet many on the left would vilify him. He was a racist political dinosaur. If he had had his way it would have been the British that would have 1st dropped chemical weapons on the Kurds in Iraq. Yet his oratory and strength of purpose were exactly what my country required at its moment of need. On balance, the world was much better off for having him around. That's about the best you can say of anyone

I have to say that I liked the ladykiller's remake. I don't normally like second-hand films but the Coen bros did a great job.

273kelvin comments on Sep 6, 2019:
Yes, that was a great movie. Here in the UK, we had our own icon of music. Much more understated but very influential, John Peel. Anyone involved with the British music scene speaks in reverential terms of this guy. A fellow Liverpudlian who came to the fore by chance as a DJ in the USA when the Beatles hit the town. He suddenly became thrust into the limelight. Quiet spoken but with an overwhelming passion for new music. If any artist sent him a tape or CD he would listen to it and if he thought it worthy would play it on his show. John Peel was at the forefront of every new music genre in his working life. From prog-rock, through punk to acid-house and hip-hop. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Peel Yes, he was awarded an OBE but more importantly, he has a stage named after him at Glastonbury. Here is his favorite single https://youtu.be/PinCg7IGqHg

To be charitable to the myth. I would say that Jesus would be rather like Gandhi. No personal wealth but lots of wealthy supporters. You can find evidence of these in the gospels. I don't know the exact quote but it goes something like "Go unto Jerusalem where you will find a man and take from him an ass". Also, it was a private tomb where he was interred, not the common burial ground. This suggests that he had the backing of at least one person with wealth/property.

NFL is a derivative of rugby football and holds a similar appeal. In that, it is a boys game played by men. It is relatively harmless to have a bunch of 14-year-old lads crashing into each other. Quite another if they are full-grown athletes. Then it becomes more like a war. Rugby is tougher in that whilst there is no tackling off the ball. Players do not wear helmets and the only protection is a box for your privates and an optional mouth guard. Far from exploitation, this was the last major sport to remain amateur.

273kelvin comments on Aug 31, 2019:
This reminds me of a question that was asked in a physics test. Q, How could you find the height of a tall building using a barometer? One student answered thus There are several ways to ascertain the height of a building using a barometer. 1, You could drop the barometer from the top of the building and time its decent. Then calculate the height using 10M per second squared. 2. You could tie a string to the barometer and lower it to the bottom. The length of the string + barometer would give you the height of the building. 3, (This is the answer I suspect you want) You could take a barometric reading at the bottom of the building and one at the top. Then deduct the latter from the former and use the difference to calculate the height of the building. 4, (This is how I would actually find out the height using a barometer.) Find the janitor of the building and say to him "If you tell me the height of this building. I will give you a barometer"
I wish this was for real....
273kelvin comments on Aug 30, 2019:
It's not that good as it does not give you the height of the impact point. The velocity would be directly proportional to the amount of drop squared. So it would be smaller on the shoulders than the shins

A barman starts to find a puddle of urine every Wednesday night by the bar when he locks up. This happens for a few weeks so he takes Wednesday night off and comes in as a customer to see who does it. Sure enough at 10 o'clock a guy quietly unzips his fly and pees on the bar. Furious, the barman grabs the guy and says "You dirty sick bastard! Get out! seek professional help and don't come back until you are better". A few months go by and the urine man returns. The barman tells him to leave but the guy says "No, I did as you asked and now I am better". "Okay, I suppose you can stay if you are better." That night at 10 o'clock the guy steps back, unzips his fly and spays the whole bar with his piss. The barman leaps over the bar and grabs him,.Shouting "I thought you said that you were better now?" "I am," said the guy "I don't feel guilty about it at all now"

Then renounce all your possessions, home, car, family, etc. and take to permanently sleeping outside. Taking in only what sustenance that you can beg, steal or forage. If after several weeks of this life you are still troubled? Then, my friend, that says you have been secretly sneaking back to your home to eat and sleep. https://youtu.be/DngSe0HwstM

They think that faith in fantasy is the default position and "One must believe in something" We atheists look at all the conflicting views and see that our position is the factory setting and all the rest is simply the imprint of culture. * I have told the elephant and the Polish problem joke so often before, that I will only type it out again if requested.

At the time there was a legitimize form (LA) that I could fill in, to de-bastardize him. (No longer required under UK law) But I looked into the history of the laws in this respect. At the end of WW2, a guy could not disown any child born in wedlock. Even if he had been a POW at the time of conception.

I grew up in a similar situation. Dad was an atheist, mom was not. My best friend's family was JWs. I went to Sunday school and all that but when I asked dad he told me straight. However, he did add that this was his view and it did not have to be mine. She is six and at that age, we are willing to believe all kinds of things. Wait until Santa is blown off and then use it to explain why you think the way you do. A talking snake is something that she can see as a fairy story and not a fact. Then talk about Abraham and Issac. How Abraham was willing to kill his son because he was told to and tell her that nothing or nobody could ever make you hurt her. Also, I think that avron`s idea of planning ahead for next year might be a good plan. You can add to the pressure by inviting her friend too.

The problem with no free will is that it takes away any thoughts of responsibility. Like the cheating partner that says "It just happened". No it fucking didn't! Unless you were raped you made lots of conscious decisions to end up having sex with someone else. Yes, there may have been umpteen amounts of emotional forces at work but you chose to get your kit off and to have sex. I used to have a big problem with gambling. I stopped betting but that does not mean that its not still a problem, just a smaller one. It would have been easy for me to stay the way I was but "chose" to change my lifestyle. Personally, I to look at it this way. There are lots of things we cannot do anything about,.nature/nurture they are the cards that we are dealt. How we chose to play them is in part, up to us.

It makes me despair for the future of the US. If anything highlights evolution, It is the fight against malaria. Throughout man's battle with this disease, it has been like trying to pick up quicksilver. Every time we think we have it, it slips through our fingers. At first, we tried quinine but the disease adapted. Then we tried DTD but the flies became immune and it goes on. The only way to guarantee that you won't get it is to be born with sickle cell anemia. Evolutions way of ensuring that not all of the population is wiped out. Not many people know that one of the biggest players in this field is the US military. They contribute about 10% of the worldwide research. What will happen if most of their intake is taught that species were created and are immutable?

A young Jewish boy asks his dad "What is business ethics?" "I'm glad you asked me that son. Let me try and explain. Say a lady comes into my shop and buys something for $20 but when I get to the till I find there are 2 x $20 notes stuck together. This leaves me with a business ethics problem" "You mean do you chase after the lady before she leaves the shop?" "No son, do I tell my partner"
Let’s group write Pepe’s and Lolita’s story.
273kelvin comments on Aug 6, 2019:
Tender love Pepe was a lonely boat. His owners hardly ever had use for him and so he would sit on his trailer all through the winter months. Hoping for a trip out to the seaside. Even if it meant being tied to the mother yacht and buffeted by the waves. Then one day he saw her and it was love at first sight. Lolita, as beautiful as her name suggests. Long slim lines and tanned. The two of them had rowed together when their owners went out to their moorings. It was a time that Pepe would never forget. Oh if only he could lay beside her, his joy would be complete. He was not looking forward to next week. A trip to the repair yard was not his favorite way to pass the time. The young man who worked on him was rough. The sander itched and scratched but at least he would be looking better just in case he did bump into Lolita again. Imagine his wondrous rapture to find her there also. Not only could he be beside her but if she got sanded first, then he might get to see her naked.

Idiots plagiarize, artists steal. Woody Allen spent almost all his career trying to steal from Igmar Bergman and make it funny. He came close with "Don't you wish life was like this" but "Family Guy" did it funnier. And then "Bill and Ted's bogus journey" did it so well.
Tell me, what's your best argument against a Christian?
273kelvin comments on Aug 4, 2019:
It depends on if I like them or not. If I like them I point out that their "truth" is based on faith and is geographical/tribal. Whereas mine is not. If I don't like them? Then I tell them that Christianity does not work and they know it. When they argue I give em a slap and wait for them to retaliate, rather than turning the other cheek
What are your honest thoughts on astrology?
273kelvin comments on Aug 4, 2019:
Astrology vs History In one corner we have Adolf Hitler, a man obsessed with astrology and convinced that he had a destiny to rule Europe. In the other corner, we have Winston Churchill. A historian with a particular interest in his ancestor the Duke of Marlborough who defeated Louis xiv. A man that also thought he had a destiny to rule Europe. WHO WON?

Along with some people's need to believe, we have subject validation. Subjective Validation and the Forer Effect “Subjective validation” occurs when two unrelated or random events are perceived to be related because a belief, expectancy, or hypothesis demands a relationship. Thus, people find a connection between the perception of their personality and the contents of their horoscope. The concept of subjective validation was put to the test in 1948 by psychologist Bertram R. Forer. Forer gave a personality test to each of his students. Afterward, he told his students they were each receiving a unique personality analysis that was based on the test’s results, and to rate their analysis on a scale of 0 (very poor) to 5 (excellent) on how well it applied to themselves. The analysis presented to the students was as follows: You have a great need for other people to like and admire you. You have a tendency to be critical of yourself. You have a great deal of unused capacity which you have not turned to your advantage. While you have some personality weaknesses, you are generally able to compensate for them. Disciplined and self-controlled outside, you tend to be worrisome and insecure inside. At times you have serious doubts as to whether you have made the right decision or done the right thing. You prefer a certain amount of change and variety and become dissatisfied when hemmed in by restrictions and limitations. You pride yourself as an independent thinker and do not accept others’ statements without satisfactory proof. You have found it unwise to be too frank in revealing yourself to others. At times you are extroverted, affable, sociable, while at other times you are introverted, wary, reserved. Some of your aspirations tend to be pretty unrealistic. Security is one of your major goals in life. The trick? In reality, each student received the exact same analysis: On average, the rating was 4.26/5 (that is, the students found their “personal” analysis to be 85% accurate). It was only after the ratings were turned in was it revealed that each student had received identical copies assembled by Forer from various horoscopes. As can be seen from the profile analysis, there are a number of statements that are vague and could apply equally to anyone. These statements later became known as Barnum statements, after P.T. Barnum, who used them in his performances, allegedly stating “there’s a sucker born every minute.” Guaquelin’s Horoscope Experiment In another experiment, the famous French Astrologer, Michael Gauquelin, offered free horoscopes to any reader of Ici Paris, if they would give feedback on the accuracy of his supposedly “individual” analysis. He wanted to scientifically test the profession of ...

Dutch ban on burqas and niqabs takes effect | News | Al Jazeera
273kelvin comments on Aug 2, 2019:
They say it is religious but here's the thing. I live in a multi-cultural area. There are lots of Muslims and we all get along. Nearly all of the small convenience stores are owned and run by Muslims. I have never once gone into a store where the lady at the counter is in a full burqa. Headscarf, yes but not a full face covering. I see burqas on the street but when it might reduce business they seem not so concerned.
Watching now (just because) Bull Durham. What are some of your favorite baseball movies?
273kelvin comments on Aug 2, 2019:
"The Natural" mostly because of the great Randy Newman soundtrack. That fanfare at the end is something else. Being English means that I don't really get baseball. I just watched a very old one on cricket. "The Final test". The plot is a young writers (Reggie Palmer) dad is playing in his last game. The lads' hero is a writer (Alexander Whithead played by Robert Morley) who loves cricket and persuades him to go watch his dad play. Here is the best quotes on our archetypal game. "Alexander Whitehead : Why don't you like cricket? Reggie Palmer : Well the fact of the matter is I find it so frightfully dull. Alexander Whitehead : Frightfully dull? Well of course it's frightfully dull - that's the whole point. Any game can be exciting - football, dirt-track racing, roulette. The measure of the vast superiority of cricket over any other game is that it steadfastly refuses to cater to this boorish craving for excitement. Alexander Whitehead : Chekhov and cricket - great similarity you know. Same sense of shape and pattern, form and design. Each done with that superbly satisfying art which conceals art. The same passion for the beautifully inconclusive."
Not movies, but ahead of its time.

One of my favorites was the old lady who shuts herself off to keep death out. Then is conned into letting a wounded policeman in. You got to see two great actors at both ends of their respective careers work together. A very young Robert Redford and Lilian Gish.
