LenHazell53 comments on Oct 20, 2022:

I am not offended by people believing in the Christian god, I am insulted and disgusted by it. This is because as such they are living in either wilful ignorance or in a self-serving deception in order to virtue signal. Either way the Christian god demands of its followers missionary work and the spreading of its cult to the "unenlightened" a very rude and insulting principle. As such they believe that people who disagree with them are worthy of eternal punishment for the sin of disrespecting their imaginary friend. As such, though some may deny it, they tacitly support and condone sexism, homophobia, racism, the persecution of the differently able and demand exceptions from the law in order to comply with such beliefs. As such they present as a loving gift to their own children and family a book as a gift that condones slavery and even provides rules for the punishing of, conning of, beating of and eugenic breeding of other human beings. A book that openly orders the murdering of "the profane", dictates diet, encourages shunning, countenances rape and child rape, bodily mutilation of infants and promises in the "great" times to come a never ending theocracy and wholesale slaughter of all who object. No I am not offended when such people are the final word in all matters of law and order in a nation state… I am fucking terrified!

My favourite nun joke Tree nuns die in a plane crash and find themselves standing in front of the Lord "I shall ask each of one question," he says."Answer all three correctly and you can all come in to heaven, if one of you fails, you all fail." The Youngest Nun steps forward and is asked "What was the name of the first human being?" "Oh that would be Adam she answers" "Correct" says the Lord. "Now sister here is your question, what was the name of the first woman?" "Eve" says the second nun. The third nun is a very old and slightly dotty mother superior, she steps forward and says "Hello John Lennon" "Oh no" thinks the second nun, "We've all had it now" "Here is your question mother," says the Lord. "When eve first met Adam what did she say" THe youngest Nun gasps and whispers "Oh thats a hard one" "Now, now sister, no giving her the answers," Snaps the Lord

YARBOROUGH.

LenHazell53 comments on Oct 15, 2022:

Yarborough the town, has a name that comes from two medieval words Borough which originally meant a fortified area, such as an area within a city wall, the Mott of a mott and bailey town or a battlement of surrounding a Keep in a castle. (it later came to mean a town of the area surrounding a town, often shortened Brough, Boro or Burgh in Scotland.) The other word is Yarr (yar or eor), meaning organised, well prepared or more commonly today in the navy terminology as Shipshape and battle ready. So Yarborough literally means a Well Fortified castle town

The TV series Up Pompeii! was directly influenced by this film and Zero Mostel was sought to play the lead, however he was to busy to work in the UK, so the part went to Frankie Howerd instead. He also turned down the lead in the film version Fiddler on the Roof, after winning many accolades for his stage performance in the part, this time being replaced by Topol. His other most famous role as the crooked producer Max Bialistock in Mel Brook's the Producers lead to the remake being dedicated to him in 2005 Sadly Zero died in 1977 at the age of 62 years young shortly after starring with his friend Woody Allen in "The Front" playing a blacklisted Hollywood actor in the House Un-American Activities Committee era, a fate that had actually befallen Zero in 1952 crippling his career for 7 years.

LenHazell53 comments on Oct 13, 2022:

Cockney rhyming slang, Scarper/ Scapa flow = Go Scapa Flow was a military Harbour in Scotland, where after WW1 the entire German fleet was ordered to be interned. The German navy however, fearing their ships would be used by the British to take revenge on Germany, on the orders of Admiral Ludwig von Reuter, skuttled their entire fleet of warships and U Boats, destroying all but twenty two of the smaller ships and boats, which were saved by the British by beaching them. Hence the cockney rhyme to scarper, to run away from one's responsibilities and liabilities Scappare is also the Italian word for escape and may have some baring on the etymology.

LenHazell53 comments on Oct 8, 2022:

I used to think so too, until I was introduced to the Hammer film "The Witches" 1966 based on the 1960 novel "The Devil's Own" by Norah Lofts, AKA Peter Curtis. This older film had a huge influence on Shaffer's screen play for The Wickerman (which he claimed was based on the 1967 Novel by David Pinner "Ritual" it is not and Pinner has disassociated himself from the film), When I say influenced I am being kind, Shaffer lifted the plot, many elements such as the poppet doll in the graveyard and whole sections of dialog verbatim from "The Witches" SPOILERS The Witches was the last film of Joan Fontaine, who as Gwen Mayfield is an ex nun, recruited to become a teacher in a remote Scottish school, after she returns from Africa and is questioning her faith because of experiences with ritual shamanic magic. Miss Mayfield comes to realise that a child who was supposed to be in her class has disappeared and the whole village is conspiring to pretend she never existed. However the spirit of missing child begins appearing to the teacher, appealing for help, which eventually leads Gwen to uncover the fact that the whole village is part of a witch cult that sacrifices virgins to their Satanic master and the girl is to be the next victim at the next full moon. The Teacher finds her way in to the underground crypt to rescue the child be finds she has been tricked in to coming voluntarily to the place of sacrifice, still a pure virgin priestess willing to give her life to save the girl. This is the point were the stories diverge Police Sergeant Neil Howie in the Wickerman is sacrificed, but Gwen realizing her purity is necessary cuts herself and smears blood on the satanic alter revealing she is not a virgin but succumbed to lust, which is why she left the convent. The impure blood smears on the chief witch and marks her as responsible for the failure of the ritual, allowing the devil to seize her soul. Gwen saves the girl in the confusion and escapes as the witch queen crumbles to dust.

When said detective can find no such organizations he decides to start one himself and entrap the terrorists. Unfortunately the only people he can recruit all turn out to be other undercover detectives from the round about other towns and a a secret service agent . A mistake not discovered until an insane plot to stuff wild ostriches with TNT and set them loose in a local shopping center goes disastrously wrong and the entire terrorist cadre tries to arrest itself.

LenHazell53 comments on Oct 7, 2022:

@castlepalomas point though well made is A self fulfilling prophesy, tell a person they cannot control what they do and they will immediately assume that they do not HAVE try and control it. Tell them that they can control themselves and they will, except in cases of mental imbalance or pure evil. I was a victim of spousal abuse for five and a half years, not only was my 1st wife larger and stronger than me (and I found out later had a prior conviction for assault having been hired to beat up another woman), but when informed the police laughed in my face, and then warned me not to fight back or I would be liable for prosecution because of the assumption that a man need not practice self defense against a female and any attempt to do so would be seen as aggression on his part. As a child I was taught ( and still believe) that for a man to raise a hand against a woman in anger is the lowest of the low. So many men will not fight back against a bullying spouse, because they believe to do so will make them a monster, and many women rely on this to provoke men in to a rage and so that, as they see it, they can portray themselves in the position of martyr and victim. This too is the behaviour of lowest of the low. Men do rape men it is true all to often and in such cases again the police tend to take the stance that it is impossible to prove, because "No *real man*" would allow himself to get in that situation. There are practically no counseling or support services for heterosexual male victims of abuse, physical sexual or emotional, because again "Real Men" don't need that sort of thing and "The poofs look after one another". Partner abuse is just as real no matter the sex or gender of the perpetrator or the victim and it is time it was treated as such.

Since this is the case in most ancient languages that there is no word for blue, some anthropologist believe, the ability to see blue is a fairly recently evolved trait in most humans and also explains colour blindness. Purple has for millennia been seen as the holy colour of priests, so one can assume that the Phoenix bird is the holy bird and symbol of resurrection.

GINGERLY.

LenHazell53 comments on Sep 27, 2022:

There is an alternate etymology. "To ginger" as a verb was for years used in the horse trading and racing fraternity as a method of making Horses stand up taller when being measured for sale or for handicapping and for making animals appear more frisky and full of vitality. It was totally illegal and very cruel. Gingering was done by pushing a piece of peeled and raw ginger (or in some cases a thistle) up the anus of the animal and using a bung to keep it in place. The spicy ginger would make the horse stand up straighter to try and stop he pain and prance rather than simply walk for the same reason. People who had been trained to move in a similar way for the sake of elegance where said to move "ginergerly" they were behaving as a gingered horse, moving and sitting carefully so as not to cause the ginger to sting. The Cockney rhyming slang "Ginger Beer" meaning a homosexual "Ginger Beer, queer" also came from the idea that a mincing walk looked like having been Gingered. The Cockney rhyming slang "Ginger Ale" meaning pale on the other hand comes from the idea that read headed people of Celtic ancestry are also usually pale skinned.
