What has happened to hitchhiking?
azzow2 comments on Apr 19, 2018:
I live out on old route 66 which is now 285 on the map I see hitchhikers all the time.

Route 66 is a very cool road to live by. The grapes of wrath has the best hitchhiking story.

Have you seen how much insurance is for a new driver these days? Sure you can get a car for £200 but times that by 10 to be legal and with cameras everywhere you need to be.

True John Newton was a slave ship captain but he already was a christian. (christianity had no problem with slavery. In fact it was viewed as the white mans burden to bring it to negroes). Later he became a staunch abolitionist but amazing grace was not initially written about this. He was shipwrecked off the coast of Africa and rescued, hence the " saved. "

Hallelujah has a firm basis in the bible with the two love stories at the start.
Cohen was far from secular. He may not have been a practicing jew but he spent a long time in other religions, even scientology at one point. Then 9 years as a zen buddhist monk. I noticed on the sleeve notes of " Dear Heather " he spelt god as g-d as any good jew would. Also his last album is deeply religious, with a chorus taken from the kaddish and " I`m ready my lord. "

@Hazydays , It is not a question of gold diggers per sa but genetics. It is no secret that guys are naturally attracted to women with large breasts, wide hips and clear skin. This is because these are signs of fertility and the ability to raise their children. Money is male equivalent. It is all selfish gene. Of course money cannot buy you love but it does widen a guys chances of finding it.

Just a quick look at the responses here will show most of the love answers come from women and rich from the guys. This is because money is part of guys attractiveness. Or does Jerry Hall think that Murdock has a really GSOH? The women will assume that the guy she falls for is at least as financially comfortable as she is attractive.

273kelvin replies on Apr 18, 2018:
There were jokes in the camps. A Chech comic who was imprisoned by the nazis and soviets told one to his soviet captors.
Himler is doing a tour of the camp and says " Where is my pipe? Its been stolen " Immediately a search begins and the camp is turned over. When he gets back to his car he finds it on the back seat. " Call off the search, I have found my pipe " says Himler. " You can`t of " says one of the guards " Two jews have already confessed to stealing it. "
One of the soviet guards laughed at this, one didn`t. So the comic asks why? " I heard it before about Stalin but you would tell it about Brezhnev. That`s why your in here "

@Nickbeee The use of " Amen " predates christianity. I seem to remember it being used at my daughters bat mitzvah. As for the divine right of kings? That goes back a long long way. The reason I think that the king is never actually taken in chess but only mated. I have posted a very detailed explanation of our church/state relationship in the UK called antidisestablishmentarianism. You might care to read it.

Odd one that. I listened to a radio doc about this and one of guys anti was formally pro death penalty. He lost his daughter to the Oklahoma bombing but she was anti all her life. So he changed his stance to honor her wishes. The victims families were split into two camps. Whilst the pros thought that execution would bring about some form of closure, it did not. Plus (from what I gleen) there may well have been others involved in this atrocity but one avenue of inquiry is now closed.

The 1st 20 mins of " saving " is like a lot of Spielberg's work. Just as in " Who framed Roger rabbit " where the cartoon sequence top loads a whole bunch of laughs at the beginning. " Saving " has about the most harrowing action shots you will see in cinema. After watching " five came back " and subsequently John Houston's " San Pietro. " I can see where Spielberg got a lot of his ideas from. For me this does not detract from how good the film is but rather adds to it.
In " five came back " we learn that both John Ford and John Houston were there at d-day and filmed it. Most of what they shot could not be shown as (even for todays jaded audiences) it was much too graphic. However it does throw light on their post war works.

Ah the Uk version of that song is different. After they recorded it the BBC ask them to re-do it as they were censorship problems with the lyrics. So Ray had to go back and change the words from coca-cola to cherry-cola (the bbc has no advertising allowed)

Predestination is not just the prerogative of religion. There are sound secular arguments that support it too. In the romantic, You end up with your high school sweetheart or a co-worker in much the same bracket of attractiveness as yourself. Political and science, Marx took the view that society forms a breeding ground for ideas rather than ideas shape society. For example the telephone, if Bell had not patented it then another guy was 20 mins behind him.

It's BS based on a religious idea of predestination. That said it feels like people who are a good fit with my world view are "the one". This, of course, changes as my world view (or theirs, or both) changes.

Shooty is quite the little twat, isn't he?
I don't remember that joke. It dawned on me while rereading HHG this time that my edition was "Americanised." For instance, Dent doesn't search for the demolition plans with a torch (which made for a very entertaining mental image when I heard the BBC...

-We used to get Punch and Judy puppets at the seaside. This is an unbelievably non PC show dating back though the ages which has wife beating and infanticide as part of it`s plot. The characters themselves would give you nightmares

I heard a story a couple years back about a young woman who was in a minor panic because the battery had apparently died in her car fob and she couldn't open the doors to get in. She had evidently completely forgotten that the key still worked to open the doors.
Then, there are the idiots who ...

She could have gotten into it but it might not have started because there might not be enough power in her fob to switch off the immobilizer.

How is it that some people can be so unthinkingly cruel?
BarbR comments on Mar 17, 2018:
Maybe she wanted you to be in a threesome?
273kelvin replies on Mar 17, 2018:

My very name. I am the only Kelvin Matchett in the world
273kelvin replies on Mar 16, 2018:
@Darthpug Its funny I thought it was my name that made me different from other kids growing up. I always seemed to be set apart from other kids so I put it down to my name. Then one day I told my older brother of 6 years about it and he put me straight.
" Kelvin you were always different even before you knew your name "
. I suppose that kind of settled me down into thinking okay Im not like other people so what, enjoy it and go with it..
