I am sad to say that the actions of President Zelensky in the last few days have lead me to reconsider my opinion of him. The Greek parliament had no excuse to claim that the inclusion of an Azov fighter in his address to them came as a total surprise, because he had done the same thing in his address to the Cypriot Parliament only days before to say nothing of his address being cut short owing to (oddly convenient) "technical problems" when the speaker of the Cypriot government drew attention to the fact that no such opportunities were offered to Cyprus in 1974 when they were invaded by Turkey. Zelensky further drew unwanted attention to himself when he addressed the Israeli Knesset a few days ago and compared the "struggle" of Israel against the "Palestinian occupiers" of their own country to his war with Russia. An oddly mistaken and inverted description of the actual situation in the middle east. His constant trope of declaring that he cannot be a Nazi because he is a Jew, is somewhat under mined when he so readily identifies himself a rampant Zionist with obviously far right nationalist views, at least as far as Israel is concerned. Only last December Zelensky himself presented the title of Hero of Ukraine and Order of the Golden Star to the then commander of the Azov battalion Dmytro Kotsyubaylo friend and compatriot of Ukrainian billionaire and oligarch Igor Kolomoyskyi one of the main financiers to the founders of the Azov Battalion who coincidentally is also Jewish. As I say the more I read of the current Ukrainian President, the more worried I become about his serious lack of good judgment and choice of friends. **"The fact that I am Jewish barely makes 20 in my long list of faults," *Volodymyr Zelensky 2019***

It has been assumed initially that this was the result of a Russian attack and in all likelihood this is the most logical conclusion, however in even in war, if we as non combatant nations are not to descend in to the same level of barbarism as that wherein Putin himself resides we must continue to believe in "the golden thread" as it is termed in legal circles ***"Innocent until proven guilty."***

Trump Tells Member Of Gays For Trump At Mar-a-Lago: 'You Don't Look Gay'

LenHazell53 comments on Apr 4, 2022:

There are gay people in this world who are ardent right wing Christian extremists who claim that when the bible insists that gay people be stoned to death, it does not mean that gay people should be stoned to death, it means something completely different. (but don't ask what) During World War 2 there were German Jews who signed up to the Nazi party and served throughout the war loyal to Hitler, because when Der Fuhrer said all Jews must die to end the Jewish problem he did not mean all Jews must die to end the Jewish problem, he meant something completely different. (but don't ask what) The level of cognitive dissonance among deluded humans defies explanation, logic and reason, such behaviour stems from stubbornness, foolishness but mostly from fear, abject fear of the future and of other people.

Nothing as a word and this context; is akin to "Cold", 'Silence' or "Dark" it does not indicate an object or a state of being, it is the word used to describe an absence of something else. Cold is the absence of heat, dark is the absence of light, silence is the absence of sound and Nothing is the absence of all things. To say the matter of the universe came from nothing is as nonsensical as saying there is such a thing as this glass of dehydrated water. 'Being' therefore is a necessary state of affairs that simply changes forms and locomotive states within a measurable set of process' we call entropy, time and space

The at is a T & G fixes two pieces of wood side by side, a dado fixes them end to end, if you use the same technique to fix two pieces of wood at right angles it is called a mortise and tenon joint. Today unfortunately all three are rarely used at all and have been replaced by the inferior dowel and hole fixings for economy and speed.

BRICOLAGE.

LenHazell53 comments on Mar 28, 2022:

In Postmodernist theory "Bricolage" has a specific meaning which is the mixing of the classic and the modern, the old with the new (or less old) Gerry Halliwell's iconic Union Flag Mini Dress for example was described by Mavis Bayton in her book Frock Rock as a Bricolage of 1760's and 1960's fashions making Halliwell a Modern Brittania. Steam Punk as a genre is a postmodern Bricolage of the speculative anachronistic works of Jules Verne and his ilk and the mores of the historical novelists and satirists of society such as Jane Austin and later authors such as Julian Fellows. A great example is Goliath by David Abramowitz a film that speculates on a world recovering from the Martian invasion of HG Well's novel, now armed with Martian technology and yet still struggling with the social propriety and morality of Victorian England

This reminds me of a particularly inept ASM attached to one of the theater companies I worked with as a young man, I can't recall his actual name but we all called him Wolfie (because he was howling mad). During one show the dry ice machine began leaking warm water from a cracked basin and so the actual SM unplugged it from the mains and removed the power lead from the heater, to avoid the obvious consequence of mixing electrical wiring and pooling water. Noticing that the on stage effect of rising mist had stopped Wolfie dashed to the rescue and with a cry of "what fucktard did this" stepped in to the puddled water and switched back on the mains, before plugging back in the mains adapter to the heater. He, of course naturally blew himself backward across the stage for an unexpected and expletive filled cameo in the middle of a performance of Arsenic and Old Lace.

LenHazell53 comments on Mar 23, 2022:

I realise I may be wrong but for a number of reasons drawing a comparison between the (in my opinion) totally illegal though effective bombing of Yugoslavia during the Kosovo War in 1999 without UN approval, and what the Russians are doing in Ukraine today is a false equivalence. Most prominently because the air strikes on Kosavo were NOT an invasion, an atrocity yes, but their was there was no intent to conquer, simply to take sides (albeit cack handedly) and end a slaughter. It was, again in my opinion, neither a justification, nor an excuse for Russian aggression, though it might in a best case scenario, be seen as a possible mitigation for Russia's objection to the Ukraine joining NATO. However even if that is the case Russia did nothing to help Kosovo their former oblast, during this time of crisis because even they could not in good conscience reasonably justify Slobodan Milošević's ethnic cleansing of Albanian, which is why when Russia did become involved it was as a mediator. These illegal actions by NATO could not happen today however as the result of the interference in the war was to severely curb NATO's powers to do such things again.

LenHazell53 comments on Mar 22, 2022:

The US is without doubt the easiest country in the world to rabble rouse, since it is the worst example, since the fall of the British empire, of a significant proportion of the population being successfully indoctrinated from birth to believe in the inherent superiority of their culture, their "way of life" and their "god given" right to police the rest of the world without the need for evidence or even comparison, without actually declaring themselves a legitimate dictatorship. Most other post imperial nations who held this same attitude did in fact have failed empires behind them, the US would claim this make them the exception as there never was an American empire. Of course this is incorrect since the UNITED states are their own empire, taken with guns and germ warfare from a conquered populous armed mostly with stone age weaponry and a misplaced faith in magic. The USA would do well to draw comparison between its own federal five hundred year history and the 500 year period that marked the change from a colonial power to an imperial one in Ancient Rome. The rise of decadence, the switch from idealism to capitalism and the move from philosophy to economics. It is especially visible in the change from eclectic religious freedom to an emperor sanctioned religion contractually in cahoots with the government for their mutual benefit.

LenHazell53 comments on Mar 14, 2022:

It is a joke word created by Scottish Polymath John Ruskin in the 1860. When it was pointed out to him that there was no direct antonym to wealth as poverty was more of a binary opposite rather than an antonym, Ruskin joked that if prosperity kept people well, and poverty made people ill, the antonym of of wealth, must be illth. It became a popular anecdote among economics students and by the 1920s was adopted as a real word and placed in the OED.

And the Lord Spake thus "Know this foolish one Verily what God forbids, man will pay to do and will pay to be forgiven of in cold hard cash. For behold where there is sin, there are Profits for the Prophets!" 9. And the Prophet did see that the Lord was indeed wise and did cry out, let this be the one commandment "God loves cash" 10.

MEALY-MOUTHED.

LenHazell53 comments on Mar 14, 2022:

It is my understanding that "mehl im maule beholten" is the origin of the term Flowery language (flower being mistaken for its Homonym Flour when translated to English) derived from the habit of the aristocracy of powdering their faces and wigs with flour, to give them a more pale and hence more desirable complexion (it cover up the pox marks) Mealy-Mouthed may stem from the same root, but also could come from the Welsh medd (pronounced Meedy) meaning Honey/sweet/ sweetened/honeyed, hence honey tongued and sweet talk. There are similar words for Honey in Nordic tongues, Greek, Sanskrit, proto Germanic, slavic and even east Asian. (usually translating literally as Bee dense liquid) It is one of those words like Lactose (milk) that transcends and remains in almost all languages and is cited as evidence for a single original mother language.

LenHazell53 comments on Mar 13, 2022:

Religion does not represent freedom of thought, religion runs on indoctrination, the indoctrinated are not representative of the freedom of belief, to believe something you must understand it and have proof of it, or else you are subject to brainwashed FAITH not belief. This is the exact opposite of freedom of thought and belief and when it is done on a one to one basis it is a criminal offense called coercive abuse. The answer is 8 simple laws 1) Religions may not register as charities and like any other business should be required to register as a business, 2) Religion should pay taxes at the same rates as business and be subject to tax investigation and independent auditing every year. 3) Churches must have a legally compliant enforcible constitution which they must abide by. 4) Religions must also be subject to corporate laws regarding political donations 5) All Religious institution employees (and volunteer workers) must be subject to CAB (criminal records) checks and may not employ those failing them. 6) Propagating dangerous, unscientific and prejudicial untruths as doctrines among the underage membership be made a criminal offense 7) All holy books of all religions be forced to carry a disclaimer that they are fiction and contain pornography and incitement to hatred, meaning they may not be sold or read or read to any persons under 21 years age, under penalty of prosecution for child abuse 8) All churches be under legal obligation to report criminal behaviour by members or staff they become aware of under pain of prosecution as an accessory before and after the fact. Most churches would be shut down or confined to theocracies within a week.

There were a number of these anti drug propaganda films made in the 1930s and 40s often financed by William R. Hurst, such as Marihuana 1936, Reefer Madness 1936, Assassin of Youth (1937) Hurst's altruism in trying to ban hemp actually masked his interests in the timber business when cannabis was poised to become the major source of raw material for paper, when wood pulp paper he produced was sold to his own newspapers to enhance his fortune. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5zlHbL_m7Vc

"Unfit" in this case, presumably bing used as a synonym for the fundamentalist biblical definition of "sinful"?

Ontology on·tol·o·gy /änˈtäləjē/ noun noun: ontology; plural noun: ontologies 1.

LenHazell53 comments on Mar 12, 2022:

Ontological arguments are a philosophical con, relying in most cases on equivocation (the confusing of multiple meanings of words) and making presupposition, to make arguments and propositions sound self affirming. Take for example, René Descartes' ontological assertion that To exist is a more perfect state of being than not existing God by definition is perfect Therefore God exists In the above example confusing two meanings of perfect, (that which is being made better and that which is without fault) and presupposing that existence is superior to none existence, an unprovable and unfalsifiable proposition Another famous ontological fallacy is One cannot prove God does not exist Everything must either be or not be Therefore God exists The law of excluded middle is grossly misused in such cases by presupposing that "God" is a thing rather than a concept or a belief, and equivocating over the meaning of the word God. God as a word, an idea and a concept does exist (I just wrote it so) but god as an existential thing cannot be proven to do the same. The simple answer lies in universality, can the same argument be used successfully for all conceptual or labeled beings? Unicorns, Vampires, Leprechauns, Sherlock Holmes, a ballet dancing purple bandicoot in a pink tutu? If so, when all other uses for the argument are almost unanimously accepted as fallacious the acceptance for it as an acceptable proof of deity is likely as not simple special pleading.

KETTLING.

Barbaric, during the great strike of 1926,a combination of police, militia and the armed forces used a similar technique only on horse back to "control" protesting strikers with sticks, batons and polo mallets Could not happen today of course

From the middle English Jack-aseat ...Jack'sea' > Jacksy **Jack**: A stereotypical person (usually male but sometimes women too), such as in Jack the lad, Jack of all trades, Steeple Jack, Lumber Jack **Aseat**: to be in a seated position or to be sat upon something. "Thither aseat in his chair" So Jacksy is something we all have and can sit upon,

MY mother, ever the Christian prude, used to often complain what a scandal it was that Miss Grable had insured her lovely legs for $1,000,000. A gift from god apparently should not be given monetary worth. Personally I would have argued she was worth every penny.

And there are still people, including people on this site, who will seriously argue that the USA is the "best" country in the world and is fucking faultless and perfect and that if you don't like it piss of to Russia. I would rather live in a self aware dictatorship where they are honest enough to admit its a shit hole, but is their shit hole, than live in a shit hole where every time someone shits on your head you sing "thank you sir may I have another", and then take part in an insurrection to demand as a human right even filthier shit from the arse of a ginger faced incestuous buffoon!
