In Israel, religious and secular Jews fight over Sabbath shopping on Saturdays - The Washington Post
SCal comments on Dec 6, 2019:
I fail to recognize how there can be such a thing as a secular jew. Claiming jewish is claiming a religious faith, not a race.
I also do not accept social conditioning that races are even real. They are not. Therefore, unless you believe in their religious views, I dont understand how one can ...

Okay, a tomato is a fruit but you don't put it in a fruit salad.
Whatever science says about the DNA of this. Centuries of persecution have labeled Jews as a race. But I am sure that if you presented your case to the nazis when they came to round up your neighbors. You would have altered the course of history and saved so many lives. Shame that you were not there at the time.

I would like all shops to be closed on Sundays, not on religious grounds just because we need a day off from all that pressure of shopping, and don't tell me you don't have to go.

273kelvin replies on Dec 2, 2019:
@Triphid I am not a bad cook myself and I am sure that I could get better. It is just that I cannot really be arsed that much when it is just for me. Then you have ingredients. Most of them come in family-sized bags. For example, I wanted a parsnip to go with my chicken but all the supermarket had was a large bag for £1. Luckily the organic shop had some loose wilting ones on offer but if I had bought the whole bag? 90% would go to waste. Any lesser percentage would increase my intake of parsnips close to annual levels.

@AnneWimsey We used to make a camping trip to the same place on the Welsh coast every year. One time I decided to take a more scenic route. Instead of skirting around the Snowdonian mountains, I chose the highest way I could. At one point it required turning off the main road (such as that was) and heading up a little single track road that was not even signposted. I had to ask a walker if I was going in the right direction. He was quite irate that I was using it and asked if my sat-nav had sent me here? I had to tell him no and that I had picked this route on purpose. Adding that he got to enjoy this countryside every day. Whereas I was usually stuck in city traffic all year.
The views were something else. Okay, Snowdonia is not the Rockies but they can still be quite breathtaking.

@bleurowz, Of course, we live in an exciting age of new discoveries and ideas. But these came about from cold hard reasoning, scientific research, and hard work. Yes, for every answer we get, we find an exponential amount of new questions. The chances of mankind ever getting to the end of these is very slim indeed.
However, this does not bode well for metaphysical spiritual. The wonders that you speak of were discovered by reason, for the most part in laboratories and universities, not on a ouija board. Why abandon reason when it has brought us thus far, for the superstition that put us in the dark ages?

@bleurowz Exactly! The operative word there is "feeling". noun; 1.an emotional state or reaction. 2.an idea or belief, especially a vague or irrational one. "he had the feeling that he was being watched" A word so close to "faith" that it is no wonder that rationalists like myself dismiss it.
I may "feel" lucky but unless I can back it up with hard cash won on games of chance or bedroom conquests. There is little point in talking about it.

@bleurowz For sure there is a vast amount that we do not know. However, can we not close the book on the whole god thing and oil some hinges that are actually squeaking? Quantum physics throws out far more interesting and weird ideas that deserve to be discussed rather than possible deities.

@bleurowz There once was thought to be a substance known as the ether. It was considered as the only way that the light spectrum could travel through the vacuum of space. Then we discovered that light had a very tiny amount of mass and the ether was discarded as a theory because it was not detectable in any way and no longer served any purpose. No one is now wasting any good drinking time arguing for the possibility of it still being there. That is not to say that there is no discussion of other possible substances that may or may not exist, like dark matter or energy. But they may or may not help explain certain phenomena.
An atheist looks at the subject the same way as the ether. It cannot be detected and serves no purpose - why are we talking about its possibility of existence? If agnostics could produce some reasoning that would shorten the odds of any kind of supernatural being or (for want of a better word) spookiness, then we would listen. In the meantime, then sure there may well be a planet out there that has seas of perfect martinis but let's just concentrate on making a good one here and talk about something else.

@bleurowz One one side you have - no god / what you see is what you get vs I don't know there may be more things in heaven and earth etc.. It is not fundamentalist for the former to ask the latter for sources and proofs. If none are forthcoming and the latter condemned, that is not doctrinaire. It is reasonable.

Pere Atkin & Clive James - No Dice
Today we learnt of the death of a great writer Clive James.
Garbonza comments on Nov 27, 2019:
Never had much time for James as a writer even during his vogue (compared to say, Henry James) -- always seemed much more of a talker than a writer, and more of a clever-dick than a wit.
273kelvin replies on Nov 27, 2019:
He was never Nobel prize material but his autobiographies were very good. I came to him muchly via his songwriting. For a non-musician he had a great eye for musical archetypes. Like guitarists "Hands that spend their lives creating tension. Wrists that have a lean and hungry, eyes that have a mean and acrid look"

We do not have a separation of church and state in the UK. The queen is secular head of the church of England and bishops, chief rabi and some Muslim leaders are cross-bench members of the house of lords. (the upper house similar to your senate).

Firstly, it is bad form to answer your own post with a 1stcomment.
Secondly, the comment makes an assumption that in my experience is false. I cannot speak for all of Europe, only where I live, Yes we have a large Muslim community. Can they be rather exclusive? somewhat. But they do mingle just not in the usual way like bars etc. I have quite a few Muslim customers and many of them volunteer for things like the local cricket club and such. Then we have food shops. There have been posts about food poverty here. Places where you cannot buy fresh veg for miles around. Not so in my yard, I will post a video of one of the local shops that would not exist if not for the Muslims
Next (and again I can only speak for Liverpool) we had huge riots in the 80s. After that, the police stayed away from certain areas. Drug dealers moved in and they became "No-go areas" for the cops. Then the Muslims did something about it. Mostly Samarlli but also from Pakistan and Afganistan. They cleared the place of street dealers and prostitutes. (Not always by legal means) I am not saying that its crime-free but you can bring your kids up there now and people are buying new houses.
Last night I fancied a drink so I went across the street to the convenience store. Allan is in charge and although a Kurd and Muslim he is not strict in his worship. We shoot the breeze and swop jokes and then I barter for the best deal he can give me on some booze. Eventually settling for brandy at £14 a bottle. No big news, just local people getting on with the business of life.

Smoke comments on Nov 15, 2019:
During the time of the judges the census was done by the jews themselves, it had nothing to do with Rome. King David actually "displeased" god by doing one which was weird to me since it was common practice before they had a king. If you read the bible cover to cover there are so many contradictions...
273kelvin replies on Nov 15, 2019:
I recommend "God knows" by Joseph Heller. The story of David told in the first person. "How comes I don`t get a book, after all I did for him? God gives that idiot shmuck of a stepson of mine Soloman a book but I get zilch!"

@glennlab I doubt not that the Romans conducted continuing censuses. It is returning to your birthplace this does not ring true. Auxiliaries fought throughout the empire. Many would have settled in different regions. Traders also would also have traveled.
An accurate census would be very valuable for tax collecting but you would need to count people where they live not where they were born

A long while ago I visited Israel and stayed on a kibbutz near Galilee. On there was a staging "inn" on what was the old spice road is known locally as "Jacobs Well". It was cut into the hillside and I got told that animals and livestock would be housed on the ground floor. Whereas the more money you paid the higher your room would be, away from the smells.
Also (and I cannot vouch for the authenticity of this but one would assume he made some researches) when I read "Ben Hur" Mee talks about the inn being owned by the house of David. This kinda makes sense as many of the country pubs/inns in England were owned by the local gentry. Hense they have names like "The Earl of Derby" etc.

Interesting that the Roman Empire fell after the ascendancy of christianity within it!

It was not instantaneous. It was decriminalized in by Rome 313 and became the state religion in 380. Although Romans pull back from Britain in 410 they still had a considerable empire.
Christians believe that their religion took over the Roman empire but the point can be made that it was the other way around. As Rome's military might decreases, then its political influence via the church takes over. The catholic church has a hierarchy that closely resembles that of the Roman army. In that, each leader has 5 immediate subordinates below him. (A system copied by the military and industry the ever since).

My point was that theists use the bible as an unimpeachable witness. If we can show that it is not so. ie. "Where were you on the night of the 14th?" and the answer is "Watching the ball game" but the witness gets the teams and score wrong. Then our side of the argument holds up the greater.

@JustAskMe Who cares? Okay firstly let me put my position down. I live in a reasonably secular society and encounter no problems with my non-belief systems. In fact, the only time that I ever talk about them is on here.
Unfortunately, that is not the case for so many of our members. It seems that they have to battle and debate with theists all the time. From what I glean off their posts there is an ongoing struggle to keep the legislature and educational systems of the USA as secular as it should be.
To back up their claims, theists point to the bible as the immutable word of god. "Not one jot or tittle". Therefore such a glaring falsification and inaccuracy as the census provides much-needed ammunition to the debate.
As my post pointed out, it is hard to argue against miracles as they are faith-based but history and common sense government can provide tangible evidence that the gospels are not accurate. That was my motivation for posting
As to "Who cares?" Well, I do not recall ever having as many comments on one of my posts as this one. It has generated so much interest that the comments have gone to 2 pages so far and more keep coming. If I were a points whore, I would be overjoyed.

It is not the census itself I have a problem with. It is the requirement of going back to where you were born. It would be massively uprooting and would achieve no purpose. A census is to collect data about the current population, not where they were when born.

@Triphid "The Duckworth Lewis method" is a concept band devoted to songs about cricket. Well worth listening to but I think the 2nd album is not as good. The 1st album was credited by the Irish team as their inspiration for their victory against England in the world cup.

@Gareth As humane a slaughter can be. Unless you are a vegan, we will accept that animals will be killed for us. A humane society will look for the least painful way to do this. Having your throat slit quickly and with one cut is how I might choose to go (should I have to choose). The loss of blood to the brain will make you pass out. As I myself can testify, as I have had a similar thing happen in judo.
We really have no idea what kind of pain being stunned with an electric prod to the head causes but if it is anything like a taser? Give me the knife any day.

What's funny about singing a song about a dead girl..
273kelvin replies on Nov 4, 2019:
Alright, here is a joke;
When I die, I want to go peacefully in my sleep like my uncle Bert and not screaming in terror like his passengers.
That joke comes from a brit comic called Bob Monkhouse. An often troubled mind that gets referenced a lot the "The Joker" (they even used one of his gags). He explained the joke thus. "I was watching the news and a whole bus had careened down a hillside in S. A. The thoughts of all those poor people trapped as they went to their deaths haunted me. And so I made up that joke to exorcise their ghosts."
Gallows humour is an essential part of our culture. No sooner than some great tragedy may befall us then you can bet your bottom dollar that there will be a string if sic jokes about it. It is part of how we get on with life.

273kelvin replies on Nov 4, 2019:
Humour is often very subjective and rather like a clockwork mouse. If you take it apart and show how it works, then it will lose a lot of its magic. However, I will try.
This clip comes from a show called "Insatiable", set in the world of beauty pageants. A satirical farce exposing the veneer of smiles and "I dream of world peace" with the underlying tooth and claw ambition of winning ai all costs. The dead girl in question had just won the pageant, before dying in suspicious circumstances. (not the 1st murder in the show). If you don't find the line "I still remember your very last words "See you next Thursday"" funny? Well okay, you don't get it sorry.

Loach is not Hollywood. Not just in that most of his films a UK centric but he often dispells the need overly dramatic.

@St-Sinner A few things here to take issue with. 1, "No country other than an extreme socialist and communist country" Every country in Europe has universal healthcare and by universal, I mean just that. Unlike one of the points in one of your other comments, it is across the board. In the UK it is funded by a national insurance scheme to which everyone (over £5,000 pa) pays according to their means. From the Walmart cashier to Richard Branson and as such are all entitled to use it. The vast majority do so. You can go private and buy your own ins but that is in addition to your nat ins. So it is not free. Unlike US agriculture, banks and big corporation govt handouts which are financed by debt.
2, As to taxing the rich? At least someone is paying. Germany and all the Eurozone operate on a zero deficit budget. Yes ZERO, no adding another 0 to the national debt and pretending that no one will ever call the bailiffs in.
3. The only bills passed by your govt are those which someone has paid for. This side of the pond says that the only thing easier to buy in the states than a gun is a politician. (I might have trouble buying a gun there). We watch with disgusted incredulity the amounts of campaign funds. Things look fucked up under Trump but that presupposes that there we ok before, they were not. He has raised $175,000,000 this year (maybe more). That's a fucking hospital! So don't tell me the rich cannot afford to pay more. Limit your election funding and take the money off them in tax.
4, You are right in that the US is very different from other counties but bad systems fail. We all saw that with the USSR. If you carry on with your present way of doing things? You WILL be overtaken by other more efficient nations. Already Chrysler has been taken over by Mercedes, Columbia by Sony and more will follow. The less meritorious any society is, the less it will progress. As it will hampering itself by only using a smaller percentage of its human resources. Social democracy is not an ideal. It is an efficient govt engine. Take for eg. the "Breaking bad" character. (yes I know it's fiction but I am sure it applies to many) If he were in the UK then he would have found another challenging job, more suited to his skills. Perhaps developing a new product that would add to the economy. Instead of teaching high school and ..well you know what. Without the need to pay for his and his family's healthcare. Add to that the institutional racism that stifles large sections of your population from social mobility and you are running on 3 cylinders or less.
