The so called "Zip fastener" originally known as a “Separable Fastener" patented 1917 used the term "Zipper up, Zipper down" as an advertising slogan for easy fasten "Zippy boots" using the revolutionary new invention in place of laces, in time the word became more associated with the fastener than the boots and the brand name was officially changed.

ACATALEPSY.

LenHazell53 comments on May 10, 2019:

That definition is correct but the etymology is open to dispute Akata (ακατα ) means Clutches and Lepsy or lipsi (λήψη ) means to take the more likely Greek root is katalepsis Greek meaning "to seize upon, to take possession, or more relevantly in this sense to understand" and a- Greek prefix meaning (without or not) Hence acatalepsy to not understand or to be beyond understanding.

Random thought: People often say "god speed" as a way of wishing you a fast passage of something.

LenHazell53 comments on May 8, 2019:

I believe you may be right for this reason: speed equals distance divided by time, so god speed is the distance to god divided by the time taken to reach god According to Christian tenets God is omnipresent and so is zero distance from anything and everything taking zero time to reach it 0/0= 0 god speed According to Einstein matter dilates the closer it gets to light speed ( C ) at which point it becomes energy If ( c ) is the maximum speed and (0) is the total absence of speed then it is likely that (0) is the point where energy coalesces back in to matter that is absolutely stationary. Something a god speed would not move at all, and the rotating universe would fly past it and leave it behind.

Sex is for the expression of love and/or for mutual pleasure, depending on the relationship, what is described here is just utter dehumanization.

The Church of Scientology can believe whatever they like, no matter how stupid, but what they believe deserves no respect, because it is a lie and is dangerous when it denies people the medical help they may need in favor of pseudoscientific bullshit. The confusion comes from a religious person asking someone to a) respect their right to believe bullshit which is legitimate and B) have their bullshit respected which is not

LenHazell53 comments on May 5, 2019:

The BYU project Evergreen (AKA Evergreen International, Inc) sponsored by the Mormon church was literally torture, and is a known contributory factor to Utah having the highest (known) LGBT youth suicide rate in the world. Project evergreen was founded and run by then BYU administrator and Later prophet of the church, Thomas S. Monson who described it as valuable work in combating the "sickness" of "same sex attraction" SSA for short (Mormons don't believe there is any such thing as homosexuality because "god would not do that to someone") . Personally I am of the opinion that if you think it is right to strap kids to chairs and inject them with powerful emetics to make them throw up and wretch uncontrollably while watching gay porn for three hours a day three times a week and think it is a good idea, you are sick one! Evergreen International, Inc was disbanded in 2014 and was bought lock stock and barrel by North Star another Utah base "reparative therapy" organisation owned and run by the LDS, but off BYU campus.

I disagree, my son (now 25) came to atheism at a very young age, simply because he thought the ideas of religion were stupid. I simply did not indoctrinate him, and given that mental freedom when he encountered religion he dismissed it in the same way I dismissed fairies and goblins. When he sees me on here he finds it laughable that I spend so much time and effort NOT believing something and defending that disbelief, when he quiet rightly says the whole idea of god is idiotic. I have explained how my generation unlike his, was indoctrinated from birth but how he exists in a world were the majority were not, and those who were are simply ignored or are subject to the same ridicule we gave to anyone over the age of 5 who still believed in santa (don't get him on santa, he believes teaching kids that is tantamount to child abuse) It gives me hope for a better world ahead.

Terry Pratchett postulates a terrible mental state known as Knurd brought about by excess consumption of caffeine *"Being drunk is to be intoxicated by alcohol to such an extent as to be unable to perceive the world clearly through the senses. *Being sober is to be able to perceive the world clearly through the senses, yet humans are quite capable of giving themselves illusions and little stories to make life more bearable. *Being knurd is to be (un)intoxicated with Coffee to such an extent that all such comfort stories are stripped away from the mind. *This makes you see the world in a way 'nobody ever should', in all its harsh reality. *People generally find being knurd excruciating, as their comfortable illusions are stripped away and all of life's terrors are exposed. When accidentally knurd, people hurry to get alcohol into them to restore the balance. In fact, they generally go too far, getting very drunk in order to a) make certain they aren't knurd, and b) get so comfortably illusory that the mind can't recall those terrible realities."*

LenHazell53 comments on Apr 28, 2019:

I look after my Mother in law too, and my father in law until he passed last Christmas. Mum is now in a care home, but almost every one else there is is mentally incapable so she has very little company so we visit at least three times a week and take her out at least once a week, to keep her active mentally. She is wheel chair bound as is my wife, but is otherwise just troubled with arthritic arms and hands, between us we give mutual support to the care of my wife and each other, I feel very lucky in that respect. My father in law was very ill for a very long time and she was unable to care for him without help, which I did my best with, he too had dementia, so I sympathize, it is hard to see a strong person you admire degenerate, but I took a lot of comfort in the fact he never lost his sense of humour, and was a cheeky old devil till the day he passed. It was Pneumonia got him in the end so I'm feel pleased he fought the Alzheimer's to the last and it never got him.

With massive changes to her diet she is a last showing some improvement from the chronic fatigue and mental impairment. We finally got together enough money to get her an electric wheel chair, so I don't have to push her about manually anymore, this means I can take out her and her mother (for whom I am also the primary carer) together without having to have a second wheelchair pusher accompany us.

Because despite of how distasteful it may be National Socialism (nazism) is a Nationalist movement, and nationalism is the easiest thing in the world to pass off as patriotism (even though it isn't). However taking a knee to protest against faults in the existing system is seen as unpatriotic BECAUSE it points out that all is not rosey in the garden of eden that is America when the *official line* is that IT IS.
