LenHazell53 comments on Feb 2, 2019:

You are right, one cannot look at this as a remake of the classic, it is an adaptation of the stage show and as such is damn near perfect. Such a great script by Brooks for both films all the Lane Broderick version lacks is Dick Shawn's character from the original, but since Brooks did not write the "Love Power" song I suppose it was easier to simply remove the whole section and expand Roger De Bris to a larger character.

Definitely yes, there were some fascinating experiments done with a McCaw parrot a number of years ago. The Bird had a very high vocabulary and was devoted to his owner with whom he had lived for many years. When she was placed in a seperate room and shown various pictures, the parrots reactions and comments were recorded. The Bird had a high sucess rate rate in making relevent comments regarding the pictures his mistress was looking at. Such as when the owner was shown a picture of a man on the telephone, the parrot asked "what are you doing on the phone?" here is some footage from the experiment, the actual interesting stuff starts at 4.30 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTk_gVensVk

We do not need to develop past it, we simply need to understand it and control our thinking. The reason our species has been so successful is our ability to imagine, to ponder possibilities and to tell stories. Should we ever develop to a point where we lose that, our society will stagnate and eventually collapse. All that is require to achieve your desired effect is education and training of the young, allowing critical thought to separate out at all times the real from the imaginary.

The fundamental difference between some one wanting to share an opinion on their favourite flavour of ice cream and a Christian wanting to tell me about Jesus is that the Ice cream salesman does not feel I, my children and grandchildren all deserve to be thrown in to a pit of burning sulphur for all eternity to suffer in eternal agony for NOT acknowledging that Tutti-frutti is better than mint chocolate chip. The Christian bastard does think, I, my children and grandchildren DO deserve exactly that for not accepting what he says and what is more WORSHIPS the foul cunt who he thinks made that law in the first place. Sorry but that sort of warped hateful mentality I kind of have a problem with, and chose not to simply say “no thank you” and walk away, I want to ask him just what the fucking fuck makes him or his imaginary friend believe they have the right to consider my family in that way. THAT is why I object to religious people foisting their filth on me in public places, down the throats of my family in state schools and being given endless platforms to preach hate, bigotry and idiocy to morons who will spread this pestilent infection to more fools down the generations all to willing to take up the cudgels of hate in the name of their loving god.

LenHazell53 comments on Jan 29, 2019:

First of all you have to be certain if you are being faced with "faith" or "Faith" To be clear Faith is a theological concept and is a proper noun, faith is an abstract concept and is a noun. Godbotherers love to equivocate and confuse the two to the point that many dictionaries actually list them as the same word, even though they have different etymological root faith from *fides* Latin for trust and Faith from the Indo-European *bheidh* meaning belief. Theological Faith is the acceptance as true of proposed statements of fact with no evidential proof or support other than the admonition that they are true. Belief is the acceptance of facts based a posteriori knowledge, that is knowledge gathered from experience rather than experimentation of hard evidence. "The sun with come up in the morning" is a belief based on experience, even though it is not factually true. The sun does not raise in the sky it stays stationary but appears to rise owing to the rotation of the earth, but people believe it does and that belief serves for day to day reliability and the expectation that the incident will recur at given intervals of time. So in short Belief is an acceptance of a proposed fact based on experience and likelihood perhaps backed up by a posteriori knowledge. Faith is knowledge based on no evidence, experience or proof, but accepted as knowledge simply because it is declared to be so, sometimes under threat of consequence if it is not.

Churchill was indeed a war cabinet member in one war and a war leader in another, he like many of his contemporaries made mistakes and dodgy alliances, famously saying he would even make a deal with Satan if Satan would agree to fight Hitler. He was a chain smoking drunk and never denied it, he was a bully and a fighter. However at a moment when the world tottered on the brink of a fall in to racial cleansing, Nazism and a new dark age, he, De-Gaul and Roosevelt among others stood as unlikely symbols of democracy roused of patriotism and the power of the common man enraged, above all the folly of totalitarianism. In an age of appeasement of monsters they stood tall, faced ridicule and hate, in the cross hairs of the snipers rifle sights and LEAD when few others could or would. Yes, Churchill was a mass murderer, but not in the name of dictatorship, not in the name of an elite, not even for an ideology but **out of necessity** when some one had to for a free and potentially great future, which subsequent generations have failed to prove themselves worthy of. Or perhaps Mr. Greer would rather today be speaking German with a Caledonian accent. No one is obliged to hold Mr Churchill in esteem, but we should all be grateful someone was willing to do what he did: Came the hour came the man

LenHazell53 comments on Jan 26, 2019:

Texting and tweeting have raised a generation of sound bite addicts, with 15 second attention spans, and a demand for fast simple answers. I can demonstrate from experience the demand for speed required. I engaged in dispute with an an active Mormon about the origins and status of the Community of Christ formerly the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (RLDS), the actual successor to the church founded by Joseph smith and not the church of Brigham Young now as then often called the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He asked me to back this up and I referred him to the supreme court Judgement of 1924 when the RLDS claimed back the Kirtland Temple as their property and were recognised legally as the successor to the original church. The Utah church had to reincorporate, something they did not do for nearly thirty years, during which time their church did not exist as anything other than a charity (hence a period of the prophets simply being called presidents) Again he demanded a reference and I gave it to him as volume and page of Oxford world encyclopedia of religion. This was met with stunned silence for a while and then a demand for a "proper reference, like a URL" I told him I did not have one, as when I discovered this, it was still common to actually get off your arse and go to a library and read a book, I left the church a long time ago. A day or so later he came back to me calling me a liar because he could not find it on line and even a photocopy scanned in and put up would not convince him it was true. If it is not on the net it does not exist. When I received my degree in 2002 as a mature student I was told to go back and rewrite my bibliography since the assessor simply would not believe I could do it without incorporating any web references, I basically had to go and look for stuff that agreed with me and put it in, even though I had not used it.

And this'll help things turn out for the best And Always look on the bright side of life! Always look on the bright side of life If life seems jolly rotten, There's something you've forgotten! And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing, When you're feeling in the dumps, Don't be silly chumps, Just purse your lips and whistle -- that's the thing! And always look on the bright side of life Come on! Always look on the bright side of life For life is quite absurd, And death's the final word. You must always face the curtain with a bow! Forget about your sin -- give the audience a grin, Enjoy it, it's the last chance anyhow! So always look on the bright side of death! Just before you draw your terminal breath. Life's a piece of shit, When you look at it. Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true, You'll see it's all a show, Keep 'em laughing as you go. Just remember that the last laugh is on you! And always look on the bright side of life Always look on the bright side of life Come on guys, cheer up Always look on the bright side of life Always look on the bright side of life Worse things happen at sea you know Always look on the bright side of life I mean, what have you got to lose? you know, you come from nothing you're going back to nothing what have you lost?

Does 'character' mean anything one can define?

LenHazell53 comments on Jan 25, 2019:

Another attempt to redefine a word. Character simply means an identifiable set of personality traits recognisable as being unique or nearly unique to one particular person or type of person, that can be used to predict his/her/their likely action or reaction to a given circumstance. Character need not necessarily be positive. The above is more applicable to what would in times past have been known as traits of a sound, good or staunch character.

and some people never start their head, or at least their brain at all. What a load of patronising self righteous crap. If you have a father in the home mean nothing, if your parents are married means nothing, half of the so called examples mean nothing. "Some of these black dudes"? What a racist fuckwit, he may as well have just started with "Are you white, take ten steps forward. then feel guilty about it... but not too guilty."

The greatest truth is the knowledge .

Utter twaddle. There is no greatest truth, there is that which is actual and is supported by evidence and contentions and that which is not, variously known as mistakes, lies and faith.

Ethics, a prescription for human conduct is not the sole property of any religion.

Right and wrong are never fixed by "an innate sense of what is right and wrong" they are interchangeable dependent on circumstance.

Makes life so much easier !

Define an "insignificant action"

Sometimes the answer to "What should I do?", is so simple yet oh so difficult.

Bollocks! There are two things in this world that influence and motivate 98% of all decisions Passion and personal gain.

congratulations

Being atheist, I do not believe in "heaven" or "hell" .

The problem with arseholes such as you mention is not so much what they say as that there are hoards of other idiots out there willing to listen to them unthinkingly and follow them unquestioningly. As birds of a feather flock together, jerks junket joyously with fellow juvenile Jackasses.

I could give you the answer, as approved by most churches, but if I did I would sound like a raving lunatic with the attention span of a gnat and the brains of a turnip, you see I'm not a theologian and only they are allowed to spout this tripe and not get picked up by the men in white coats driving the Loony detector van.

Just got this in the mail.

Send it back saying "Fellowship" is an inherently sexist misogynist term and that you are reporting them to SJW central until they amend it to person-ship or some other equally good gender neutral term. It isn't Jesus...it's just a fella. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JB7po-jCsGI=3=PLUQDigfJZjNMdW9cBxYuc2XA2kpCvvdRb

FOOD for thought, anyone?

If there is a bag of Bassetts Liquorice Allsorts in the house, I can't sleep till it is all eaten and no one else in my home likes liquorice, so it's a rotten job but some one has to do it..

I am afraid it has always been the case that if you want a strong following quickly, it is much easier to rally people to hate as one, than to care as one. Kill the "problem" was always easier than solve the "problem" Hide the different and pretend it does not exist, less frightening than accept and understand the unfamiliar. ## "The Lord Jesus Christ hates a great many people but non more so than the homosexual" Seth MacFarlane

Forbidden Planet [imdb.

LenHazell53 comments on Jan 20, 2019:

Forbidden Planet is basically a retelling of the Tempest by Shakespeare, with Morbius filling in for Prospero and Robbie as Ariel while Caliban is reborn as the monster from the Id. The idea of Technology/Magic setting everyone free to destroy themselves by removing all limits on want and desire could be read as a prophesy for the internet and the digital age is true enough. When everyone thinks they are a god, minor disputes can wipe out the word as major disputes are ignored as other peoples problems.

SIMPER.

IN my part of the world to simper is to do these things insincerely, for the purpose of crawling, creeping in an Obsequious or Toadyish manner.

when are we as a species going to get our s together?

Trouble is we do get our shit together and then we throw it in to the sea.

I used to watch The Big Valley television series, which ran from September 15, 1965 to May 19, 1969.

From the late 50's to the late sixties all of the highest rated US TV shows were westerns. Even Star Trek was marketed as Wagon train in space.
