My Mother had already been leading pray circles for my soul when I joined the LDS, I think after that coming out as an atheist was a relief to her. However since she was of the ilk who don't believe there is any such thing as an atheist and that it is all just "showing off" she died convinced I would grow up and stop all the nonsense one day. My Father just sighed and told me I was too clever for my own good.

LenHazell53 comments on Oct 29, 2018:

I'm a big Sherlock Holmes fan, I make a point of reading The Hound of the Baskervilles at least once a year, as it is probably **the** definitive Gothic thriller and archetype detective novel. Elementary was a good series and would probably have fared better had it not been released along side Sherlock, the comparison was inevitable and against Benedict Cucumberpatch he was not going to win out. The stories are great and using Gregson as the main foil especially as played by Aidan Quinn is a good choice. Lucy Liu is remarkable as Watson, her take on the character is spot on (Watson was suffering PTSD in the original books, though of course that was not the term for it at the time), her guilt ridden stress captures this perfectly. Though James Mason is still my favourite Watson Liu's version certainly ranks in my top five. It is ironic that the beloved flaws (drug addiction, antisocial behaviour, arrogance) of Holmes were written in to the stories by Doyle in order to kill the popularity of the character, as Doyle saw him and the demand for stories about as a distraction from his serious works. It backfired and the trope of the flawed superman was born, had he left Holmes as the near perfect mental and physical specimen of A Study in Scarlett the readership would soon of grown bored of him. This is what has made him a major influence on society, media and individuals for over a century now.

This one of those odd circumstances where a word actually reversed it's original meaning Both Passel and Parcel come from the Latin root particella meaning a small part of a larger whole. Parcel in time came to mean a small gift, where as Passel came to mean a large number making up a greater whole, especially in the military a Passel of soldiers can be anything from a platoon to a legion bound together in a common cause.

Mr Sardonicus is still one of the creepiest original Gothic horrors not to be based on a classic, The house on Haunted Hill is fantastic held back only by budget, Homicidal is WAY ahead of its time to name but a few. I love 13 Ghost if only for Margaret Hamilton out classing everyone else on screen.

Keep it out of school totally Keep it out of government utterly Keep it off the streets Recognise it as a business and make it pay taxes and be subject to the same legal requirements of all other business (Conformity to sex discrimination, age and race discrimination legislation for example and physical assault of infants ) Make proselyting to anyone under the age of majority illegal. that would be acceptable to begin with.

He shrugged, said it made sense and never asked again. I grant you my son may be the exception, this is the same kid who was asking me if the amount the water went up in bath when he got in was the same as the space he took up when he was four, and told me he was an atheist at eight, because god was another made up thing like santa and the tooth fairy to bribe people in to behaving in a certain way.

Upholding the principle of innocent until proven guilty is a slap in the face to no one, it is the very foundation of a just and fair legal system. Trial by media is an affront to civilisation which ever direction it leans and is basically mob rule. A false accuser is a guilt of injustice as a perpetrator, this why we have laws in the west that apply regardless of gender, age, religion or race (granted more so in one country than another) If anyone demands justice and is told they are just whining, that accuser is the one in the wrong not the law and not the person demanding fair treatment by it.

LenHazell53 comments on Oct 24, 2018:

There are lots of these, I have even come up with a few myself. eg Glinda is actually the wicked witch and Dorothy is her unwitting assassine, ridding the world of the othe witches and the Wizard so she can rule unopposed. There is no Pennywise in Derry, he is the imaginary figure the losers club blame their bully and vengeful child murdering on, the story of them returning to Derry 27 years later is because Mike Halloran is threatening to expose them all in a book. IT is actually who dun it? George Weasley in Harry Potter is actually young Willy Wonka mad after the death of his brother he is torturing unworthy muggle children with magical candy. The whole of the Cornetto trilogy is in Gary King's head, except for the first 20 minutes of The worlds End, after he breaks out of the asylum, but after being beaten up in the toilets and deserted by his friends he goes back in to the fantasy world of the two previous films were he is a heroic zombie killer and a super cop and finally the saviour of the world. James Bond is a Time Lord, who every few years regenerates in to a new unstoppable Super Spy, the real Bond died in the late 1950s.

Is Voodoo real or a bunch of crap???

LenHazell53 comments on Oct 24, 2018:

The correct term is a Ouija Board or spirit board, it is nothing to do with Voodoo, which is a religion like any other and like all other religion relies on trickery, psychology, fear and superstition but this case with a dash of pharmacy made from naturally occurring hallucinogenic plants thrown for good measure. Ouija was invented by Hasbro Gaming in 1890 as a game (it even came with rules and you could win a game of ouija) by their founder Elijah Bond, though so called talking boards and prophesy board had existed since the 12th century. The idea of using them to contact the dead was a later addition and only became popular during world war 1. It was when a Ouija board was used in the film the exorcist in 1973 that this use became popular as the sole use for the boards. They basically induce fear and expectation and get "messages" from the sub conscious minds of the players. Which is why they some times seem true. Most countries have their own variation on this meant to frighten children in Japan for instance it is called a Kokkuri san cloth, meant to summon a fox spirit to pass messages from the other side.

LenHazell53 comments on Oct 23, 2018:

Oh yes My father was a baptist, but had better things to do with his Sundays My Mother was a former salvation army officer who got caught up with the whole Toronto blessing and Charismatic cult shit and was always a bit of a religious maniac. I was brought up in an atmosphere of being told I was going to Hell if I did not read the bible every night, go to church on a Sunday and pray continually. Consequently I spent nearly the entirety of my first ten years terrified of God and to a lesser extent the Devil, I spent the next ten years trying to find religious "truth" and my third decade slowly but surely finding my way out of religion thanks to falling in with the bloody Mormons, much to mothers horror. All my late mother bequeathed to me was a determination not to waste my life as she did, pursuing an insane fantasy at the cost of family friends and sanity.

LenHazell53 comments on Oct 23, 2018:

Marriage is a choice, it is not necessary but for some fills a need for a formal or public declaration of commitment, but can be an almost unlimited choice of forms to fit any taste. Traditional ideas of marriage partnership rites perhaps are outdated with the inherent sexism and control issued believed necessary for social stability in less enlightened times but is evolving and will continue to evolve to remain contemporary.

LenHazell53 comments on Oct 23, 2018:

I watched this earlier this evening, Hovind is such an intellectually dishonest arsehole he needs putting in a sack and shaking. The typical religious attitude presuppose, accept only the authority of scripture and deny all else, when asked for proof redefine proof as faith and persecute decenters. I love that again he makes the same mistake with Broccoli as he did with Bananas, claiming they exist naturally rather than as a result of cultivation. What a fuckwit.

What do you think would have happened if feudalism would have been left in tact to evolve...

LenHazell53 comments on Oct 23, 2018:

Feudalism in Europe only collapsed because the plague devastated the work force and shifted power from the nobility to labour. Therefore it can be assumed that for it to have continued the cull of the population must not have happened, so a population explosion would have lead to starvation, revolution, and the institution of an even more totalitarian set of war based regimes, a culture of fighting for space and resources with an agrarian slave underclass to supply them, this would in time of lead to further spreading of empires the earlier discovery of Australasia and the Americas probably for purely conquest and extermination of the indigenous inhabitants. Possibly need and war would lead to earlier introduction of industry and technology probably by the church since they had a stranglehold on knowledge, so a theocratic empire is not outside the bounds of possibility with the concomitant extermination of misbelievers and heretics. By the the time we reach the 21st century it would be a miracle if civilisation survived at all, imagine an 16th and seventeenth century mentality armed with atomic weapons and driven by religious fanaticism with no opposing secular authority. The probability is a world made up of small settlements and city states scratching out a living in a wasteland.

To burn a book even one you disagree with is to attempt to burn thought, when you attempt to suppress a thought you give it power and desirability, mystery and allure. Better that bad ideas are dragged in to the light, confronted, discredited and relegated to the library of historical idiocy.

This version gets very much derided, unfairly in my opinion, though it is a far more loose adaptation of Shirley Jackson's novel it does have some wonderful moments and as a simple ghost story works very well. Though the original film has a deeper more claustrophobic feel, and delves more in to the weird paranoia of Nell's damaged psyche by symbolism and Freudian puzzles, the remake externalises her desperate needs and personal demons through the literal anthropomorphism of Hill house itself with her madness eventually manifesting as Crain a literal black cloud of depression and oppression imprisoning her inner child a situation that can only be overcome at the cost of her own life.
