Any chance someone can get a bottle to me by tomorrow evening's party?
273kelvin comments on Nov 22, 2019:
I once infused vodka with green by just putting in the bottle and leaving it. The odd thing was it was like Pastis or Pernod. in that it discoloured and went cloudy when you added any mixer.

The children thing is much more of a no-no when women do it. As the people viewing will be guys. Whereas when men do it (and I'm not saying its right) it will be only women who see it and they are far less likely to be preditors

During the time of the judges the census was done by the jews themselves, it had nothing to do with Rome.

@glennlab I doubt not that the Romans conducted continuing censuses. It is returning to your birthplace this does not ring true. Auxiliaries fought throughout the empire. Many would have settled in different regions. Traders also would also have traveled.
An accurate census would be very valuable for tax collecting but you would need to count people where they live not where they were born

A long while ago I visited Israel and stayed on a kibbutz near Galilee. On there was a staging "inn" on what was the old spice road is known locally as "Jacobs Well". It was cut into the hillside and I got told that animals and livestock would be housed on the ground floor. Whereas the more money you paid the higher your room would be, away from the smells.
Also (and I cannot vouch for the authenticity of this but one would assume he made some researches) when I read "Ben Hur" Mee talks about the inn being owned by the house of David. This kinda makes sense as many of the country pubs/inns in England were owned by the local gentry. Hense they have names like "The Earl of Derby" etc.

It was not instantaneous. It was decriminalized in by Rome 313 and became the state religion in 380. Although Romans pull back from Britain in 410 they still had a considerable empire.
Christians believe that their religion took over the Roman empire but the point can be made that it was the other way around. As Rome's military might decreases, then its political influence via the church takes over. The catholic church has a hierarchy that closely resembles that of the Roman army. In that, each leader has 5 immediate subordinates below him. (A system copied by the military and industry the ever since).

@JustAskMe Who cares? Okay firstly let me put my position down. I live in a reasonably secular society and encounter no problems with my non-belief systems. In fact, the only time that I ever talk about them is on here.
Unfortunately, that is not the case for so many of our members. It seems that they have to battle and debate with theists all the time. From what I glean off their posts there is an ongoing struggle to keep the legislature and educational systems of the USA as secular as it should be.
To back up their claims, theists point to the bible as the immutable word of god. "Not one jot or tittle". Therefore such a glaring falsification and inaccuracy as the census provides much-needed ammunition to the debate.
As my post pointed out, it is hard to argue against miracles as they are faith-based but history and common sense government can provide tangible evidence that the gospels are not accurate. That was my motivation for posting
As to "Who cares?" Well, I do not recall ever having as many comments on one of my posts as this one. It has generated so much interest that the comments have gone to 2 pages so far and more keep coming. If I were a points whore, I would be overjoyed.

As to "Who cares?" Well, I do not recall ever having as many comments on one of my posts as this one. It has generated so much interest that the comments have gone to 2 pages so far and more keep coming. If I were a points whore, I would be overjoyed.

It is not the census itself I have a problem with. It is the requirement of going back to where you were born. It would be massively uprooting and would achieve no purpose. A census is to collect data about the current population, not where they were when born.

What's funny about singing a song about a dead girl..
273kelvin replies on Nov 4, 2019:
Alright, here is a joke;
When I die, I want to go peacefully in my sleep like my uncle Bert and not screaming in terror like his passengers.
That joke comes from a brit comic called Bob Monkhouse. An often troubled mind that gets referenced a lot the "The Joker" (they even used one of his gags). He explained the joke thus. "I was watching the news and a whole bus had careened down a hillside in S. A. The thoughts of all those poor people trapped as they went to their deaths haunted me. And so I made up that joke to exorcise their ghosts."
Gallows humour is an essential part of our culture. No sooner than some great tragedy may befall us then you can bet your bottom dollar that there will be a string if sic jokes about it. It is part of how we get on with life.

Humour is often very subjective and rather like a clockwork mouse. If you take it apart and show how it works, then it will lose a lot of its magic. However, I will try.
This clip comes from a show called "Insatiable", set in the world of beauty pageants. A satirical farce exposing the veneer of smiles and "I dream of world peace" with the underlying tooth and claw ambition of winning ai all costs. The dead girl in question had just won the pageant, before dying in suspicious circumstances. (not the 1st murder in the show). If you don't find the line "I still remember your very last words "See you next Thursday"" funny? Well okay, you don't get it sorry.

I liked Harry, but he was a notoriously bad driver.
His driver's license had been revoked at the time of his death.
Although, it is believed that the car he was driving was having a
serious mechanical malfunction when it was hit from behind by a truck.

Haven't seen it. Maybe. What do you think if in a stadium in Moscow people would chant the same about Putin? Would they get shot immediately or in a few days?
273kelvin replies on Oct 28, 2019:
It would not happen there. Putin controls all the TV outlets and the population believes it. (Find an anti-Putin item on RT). If any protest did happen? Then the ringleaders would be found guilty of some kind of fraud. They are a lot more subtle than the old USSR

After a month of brainstorming and floating ideas, they talk to him and say this. "Well, you have a good concept and a great product. I mean eternal life, who wouldn't want that? Just a couple of things we think you should do. Firstly, maybe you could maintain a more high profile social media presence and em well we all agree on this, so I will just put it out there. We think that you should change your name to Irving"

@St-Sinner A few things here to take issue with. 1, "No country other than an extreme socialist and communist country" Every country in Europe has universal healthcare and by universal, I mean just that. Unlike one of the points in one of your other comments, it is across the board. In the UK it is funded by a national insurance scheme to which everyone (over £5,000 pa) pays according to their means. From the Walmart cashier to Richard Branson and as such are all entitled to use it. The vast majority do so. You can go private and buy your own ins but that is in addition to your nat ins. So it is not free. Unlike US agriculture, banks and big corporation govt handouts which are financed by debt.
2, As to taxing the rich? At least someone is paying. Germany and all the Eurozone operate on a zero deficit budget. Yes ZERO, no adding another 0 to the national debt and pretending that no one will ever call the bailiffs in.
3. The only bills passed by your govt are those which someone has paid for. This side of the pond says that the only thing easier to buy in the states than a gun is a politician. (I might have trouble buying a gun there). We watch with disgusted incredulity the amounts of campaign funds. Things look fucked up under Trump but that presupposes that there we ok before, they were not. He has raised $175,000,000 this year (maybe more). That's a fucking hospital! So don't tell me the rich cannot afford to pay more. Limit your election funding and take the money off them in tax.
4, You are right in that the US is very different from other counties but bad systems fail. We all saw that with the USSR. If you carry on with your present way of doing things? You WILL be overtaken by other more efficient nations. Already Chrysler has been taken over by Mercedes, Columbia by Sony and more will follow. The less meritorious any society is, the less it will progress. As it will hampering itself by only using a smaller percentage of its human resources. Social democracy is not an ideal. It is an efficient govt engine. Take for eg. the "Breaking bad" character. (yes I know it's fiction but I am sure it applies to many) If he were in the UK then he would have found another challenging job, more suited to his skills. Perhaps developing a new product that would add to the economy. Instead of teaching high school and ..well you know what. Without the need to pay for his and his family's healthcare. Add to that the institutional racism that stifles large sections of your population from social mobility and you are running on 3 cylinders or less.
5, Yes ideas need to take hold before they gain ground but seeds need to be planted 1st and someone has to plant them. Bernie will not win, I grant you but that does not mean he should not set out his stall. Who ...

@St-Sinner The UK implemented the national health service in 1945 along with welfare. Were we ready for it? Churchill said "no" but kept it in place after regaining office. Was he a socialist? But we did it and also reduced our deficit by 250% in a year.
The truth is that whenever reform is proposed. Be that, freeing slaves, universal suffrage, civil rights or legalizing pot. Someone will say that it is not time. I day say if you look back in history you will find some on both sides of the pond that said in 1776 "America can become a nation but it is not ready for it yet"

The man is such a hypocrite. His blog was full of hearsay and vague "proofs" ie "a museum in Montana" not siting which one but it only took a few clicks to find it. He went on about the truth and idiots who disregard it. Then when I msgd him pointing out a falsehood he said that he would post a correction but did not. The blocked me and deleted my findings regarding all the bs he is spouting, backed up with real facts.
We know that those guys would not last 5 mins in the UK without someone calling them out. It is a shame that such a great nation that the USA is, will give them credence

CuriosityExtant comments on Oct 13, 2019:
Power and control are the reasons religion was invented. All things in religion and spirituality are imaginary - they are the powerful devices to control everything else to ultimately get the money, which is to power and control as a battery is to electricity and generators.
273kelvin replies on Oct 15, 2019:
@Geoffrey51 Good point, I think that what we refer to as organized religion. Only comes about after agriculture. Before then you could not afford to have members of the society doing nothing, ie. priests and politicians. Toolmakers, healers, and specialized workers could opt out of the hunter-gatherer collective in return for trade but there was no room for parasites

As for blanket terms, I have never come across anyone on here object to "The bible belt" in usage. Although this is not particularly regional and I have heard that can mean anywhere outside of a major city.
If is okay to say that? Then why not "African backwater"? If the only real differences are that of race?

@creative51 Firstly I did not refer to Africa as a whole. My term was "African backwater" Just as one might use the terms Arkansas backwater or South American shantytown. To do so is not to say or imply that all of Arkansas is dumb. Nor that all of S. America is poor. There many intelligent and highly educated people in/from Africa, I should know as I have dated two of them. (Malawi and Nigeria). There is also some very stupid superstitious people there too and they are not confined to specific states or regions. Just like the USA but at least Africans can blame poverty and a poor educational system.
I noticed that you had no problem with me referring to Europe as a whole. Is this because Europe is predominately Caucasian or that I was not disparaging? After all a generalization is a generalization irrespective of positive/negative or race.
To my mind, if one makes any decision based on race? Then that is racist, be it pro/con or neutral.

@creative51 I have to say that I did think very carefully before posting that comment. This is how my thought processes went. I know that there are many backward ideas still prevalent in the African continent and that it was the perfect simile for what I wanted to express. Not to do so would have been patronizing and in of itself racist. If we refrain from criticism simply so as not to appear racist? We do no favors to anybody. Would you not have a go at Israel, China or Pakistan over their human rights issues because of their ethnic population? To do so would give their govts a free ride.
