LenHazell53 comments on Sep 25, 2019:

as has been pointed out the word seems to have no origin and appeared in the late 19th century. However it does seem to be a contraction of the Latin Copa (meaning Landlord, host or cup) and Acetum (meaning Soured or Vinegar) from which can be inferred "seasoned to taste" or "professionally made to taste better" which does fit with given meaning.

If it is so what is to stop me from demanding non discrimination laws on the basis of political affiliation, allegiance to foot ball clubs, tattoos, and preference in food stuffs? You want to make new laws about discrimination then do it for recognized actual prejudices, such as height, red hair, facial disfigurement etc.

These men and it is mostly men have been riding the gravy train for centuries and the world is finally getting wise to them.

Throughout history the only times that there are "Great Spiritual Awakenings" are in period of time when people are terrified, feel helpless and are so desperate they turn to god and start begging for forgiveness for they know not what. Unfortunately therefore the first sign of a Great Spiritual Awakening is the religitard morons start blaming the sinners, the heretics, the misbelievers and the disbelievers for angering their sky daddy and start culling them in the most horrific ways imaginable to turn away the wrath of their loving god. These fuckwits are so evil, exploitative, manipulative and amoral they make me want to throw up in shame at the barbarism of it all.

LenHazell53 comments on Sep 20, 2019:

There was the reverse problem last year in Hyde Park in London. Since it's opening about 200 years ago Hyde Park has had a public area known as Speakers corner where anyone can talk or preach about anything. However over time the corner has spread out and three years back there was a bi-law passed limiting Speaking, preaching, public prayer and proselyting back to the original area, for the comfort and convenience of all. However a local mosque took to publicly praying toward Mecca in the park. A 60 year old local woman (I can't recall her name right now Amy something I think) called the police and demanded they enforce the law. The Police refused and told her she would be arrested for inciting hatred if she did not leave at once, (when pushed the sergeant admitted to her moving them on would possibly have cause a riot or revenge attacks on the park). The Woman did and posted a video of the encounter on You Tube, the next day she was arrested for inciting race hatred, held in custody for a day and then released with a warning. The Mosque were told they could no longer pray in the park UNLESS they asked permission for an exception in future which London Mayor Sadiq Khan was happy to grant. This being an available option why did they not simply do this anyway. Apparently the Salvation army do this twice a year to play brass band music, which in my opinion is even worse being a LOT louder. EDIT I have tried to find the name of the woman but all You Tube Video's have been blocked her account has been suspended etc. So Sorry

Reminds me of the story of Moses coming upon the Lord sitting weeping. Moses asks god what is wrong and he tells him. "Moses I have spent years writing my commandment, and now they are finished no one wants them, the Philistines refused thou shalt not kill, the sodomites refused Thou shalt not commit adultly, the Sumerians would not take Thou shalt not steal, I don't know what I'm going to do with them." Moses ponders for a moment and then asks "Lord, how much are you charging for these things?" God shrugs and tells him "Moses they are free" "I'll take Ten" says Moses.

Probably not that uncommon, but apt.

LenHazell53 comments on Sep 15, 2019:

This word has a fascinating etymology. From the middle ages up the early years of the twentieth century quack medicine peddlers often toured town to town selling nostrums and remedies claiming them to be cure alls. Often they had traveling with them an assistant who would claim to be a beneficiary of the "Physician's" elixir who would claim that not only had the medicine cured them of pox or plague or whatever, but that it had now rendered them invulnerable to harm. To this end and by way of demonstration the man or woman would allow themselves to be bitten by a snake (a none venomous one or one with the venom sack removed) or more often than not would eat a poisonous toad (usually a frog or other none poisonous substitute that they would simply hold in there throat, hence the expression "frog in your throat" for a lost voice). These assistants would bang on relentlessly about how wonderful the medicine was and how great the "doctor" was. IN time and during prosecutions these charlatans accomplices were often referred to as "Toad eaters" or "Toad e's" for short. Soon a Toady became a slang word for a purveyor of false praise and insincere flattery. Toad itself is a corruption of the German Kröte an onomatopoeic word that mimics the croak of a toad

LenHazell53 comments on Sep 13, 2019:

Religion is tempting, it allows for an abnegation of thought and responsibility, it provides rules and standards without the requirement of moral consideration needing only obedience. Religion provides easy answers for everything you ever worried about without the need for education. It gives you a support network, a book of guidance, a convenient enemy to blame when things go wrong and the promise of an eternities worth of chocolate and niceness after you don't "really" die. It turns life in to a cross between reality TV and Sesame street and will kiss better every booboo (or at least tells you it will) and makes you forever a grateful child with the big sky daddy to watch over you for ever and ever. All sounds pretty tempting until they turn on you like a rabid dog for daring to to ask questions or announcing you might just be a bit different and need acceptance.

I was once bleeped in the IMDB message boards (may they rest in peace) for saying I was going on a canal boating holiday C-anal apparently contains a forbidden word 😃 Faggot is a very useful word, a bundle of sticks for starting a fire is a faggot, an offal and bread crumb patty is a faggott, a disagreeable old woman is a faggot and a contraction of the first meaning a fag is a cigarette. The origin of the American idiom is a charming play on the bundle of sticks meaning, as homosexuals were seen as something to be burned..how charming.😒😡😣

There are two accept explanations for the Friday the 13th thing One as mentioned else where in this thread is the extirpation of the Knights Templar on Friday 13th October 1307 the other is that the last super took place on a Friday the thirteenth day of the month of Tishrei and there were thirteen people present. However others say that with Friday being named in honour of Frea, wife of Odin the only day to be named for a woman makes it an unlucky day and 13 being the first unnatural number (12 constellations of the Zodiac, twelve months in a year etc 13 breaks the rule) and for being the first two digit prime number made up of the first two prime numbers 1 &3) and for being the day half way between a new and a full moon make Friday 13th a doubly unlucky day. another possibility is that δέκατος τρίτος (13th) phonetically contains the names of Katos/Kratos the god of war and Trito/Triton the god of the sea, combining this with a day named after the goddess of of the domestic home Frea may have had early translators of the bible and theologians clutching their Rosaries and thinking the day Friday the 13th invited bad luck and warfare in the home and at sea?

Humans are primates, there is no real doubt about it. It is obvious to anyone with eyes or perceptions, it is not an insult to thinks so to people or apes. The major sticking point on this for centuries is he stupid insistence of the churches that Man is made in the image of god. But then Genesis was not written by a chimpanzee.

It is utterly childish behaviour. Comparable with a child his face covered in icecream and chocolate sauce insisting "I didn't take it, it wasn't me, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't,!"

Matthew 21:2-3 2 saying to them, “Go to the village ahead of you, and at once you will find a donkey tied there, with her colt by her. Untie them and bring them to me. 3 If anyone says anything to you, say that the Lord needs them, and he will send them right away.” So he does give them a secret code phrase to say if they are challenged, Jesus was the James Bond of ancient Israel and the donkey's name was Aston Martin.

Still perhaps the greatest thriller ever made. One of the best directors ever A script based on a book by one of the greatest horror writers of all time Robert Bloch and adapted by the creator of "the Outer Limits" And of course a career defining performance by the great Anthony Perkins. What's not to love?

Is Atheism a Belief System?

LenHazell53 comments on Sep 8, 2019:

Atheism is simply the absences of belief in god(s) it is not a measure of belief in the lack of gods any more than dark is a measure of luminescence or silence is a count of decibels.
