GOP lawmaker attended gay son's wedding 3 days after voting against same-sex marriage

@Betty He voted against the Respect for Marriage Act, he did not vote to end gay marriage. Respect for Marriage Act was rushed through after the over turning of Roe V Wade when it became clear that the precedent set by the SCOTUS could be used to overturn the previous supreme court decision declaring the legality of gay and interracial marriage and return such decisions to the state legislature instead of federal law.
The only way to prevent this was by amending the Defence of Marriage Act and making recognition of gay and interracial a federal law.
No one was trying to end gay or interracial marriage, nor could they.
Glenn Thompson choice to vote against the passing of the Respect for marriage act, no mater how ill thought out, in no way was an act of hypocrisy, when he obviously approved of his own son's wedding, just typical republican stubbornness against federalism, centralisation and big government.

Alan Price on keyboards isn’t too shabby either!
LenHazell53 replies on Jul 13, 2022:
Former Tax inspector Alan Price was a selfish cheating bastard who robbed the rest of the Animals out of their royalties for house of the rising son, and ultimately caused the Break Up of the group.
HOTRS is a public domain song, but price without consultation with the rest of the group copyrighted the arrangement for their version and had himself credited as composer.
When Eric Burdon pointed out that Price had never even heard of the traditional folk song until he played it for him, Price basically said like it or lump it, I'm keeping the money.
Later Price teamed up with Georgie Fame for a while, but this too ended up with a falling out in 1973 when Price told his wife that she must stop being friend with Fames wife as (quote) "I don't encourage fraternisation between spies" when she refused, Price dissolved the partnership.
This was after Price placed a version Fame's Song "Yeh Yeh" on his solo greatest hits album under his own name, having had Fame sign a contract that gave joint ownership to their intellectual property, it was presumed, for the duration of the partnership, however Price sued successfully claiming the contract gave him ownership jointly with Fame even over songs Fame wrote before they met.
In 1983 Price tried to re-join the Animals on their reunion tour and met with Eric Burdon and the others to discuss it.
The other members said Price would be welcome to re-join if he would sign a contract relinquishing his claim on HOTRS from that point on with no past penalties, but simply as a show of good faith and an admission of wrong doing. Price refused the offer ( but in not so many words.)
Mick Gallagher did the show in Price's place though Price did make a guest appearance billed separately.

@AtheistInNC I'm sorry but you are quoting from a 1911 interview about Pearce's invention of the "MONOPLANE" not the 1903 flight which Pearce himself considered a failure because, though he did take off and fly a substantial distance it ended when he clipped a wall and had to make a forced landing. This mishap in his own mind made his claim to the first heavier than air power flight invalid since he did not make his planned landing.

@AtheistInNC The Interconnected computer system (**intra**net for short) was a joint project by the US, the French and the British.
The idea an international net of computer servers exchanging and sharing all information was first posited in the 1966 science fiction novel by British author Dennis Feltham Jones "Colossus" (released in the USA as "The Forbin Project) a story that did not end well for the Human race. (In short over a series of three books, the Net decided that people could not be trusted to keep themselves and the world safe and began treating people as infants that had to protect them from themselves. UK screenwriter and novelist David Ambrose wrote an updated version of the premise in his speculative work 1995 "Mother of God" where the Net becomes a sentient AI and declares itself "the daughter" of the mother creator race humanity, which now needs to be cared for by itself the new goddess.)
However the actual **inter**net as we know it, was created in the UK by Tim Berners-Lee in 1989 in a system he named **the world wide web**
Tim Berners-Lee could have made a fortune from the invention of *hypertext information system* HTMI, but instead placed the invention in the Public domain, enabling the whole internet to grow at an exponential pace and literally change the way the world works within 30 years.

We learned this in the 1930s, which is why despite our own 50,000+ fascists and their would be dictator Mosley, fascism was never allowed to get a grip in the UK. Mosely was banished and the party was made illegal in 1940. Many of the BUF were allowed to leave the country and many fought for the Nazis in the so called Britisches Freikorps of the waffen SS.
Men like Zakir Naik are a danger and need to be dealt with as potential insurrectionist and the hate mongers they are.

He is a known radicaliser of the young and a fundamentalist jihadist
As for terrorist attacks in the UK have you not heard of the 7/7 attacks, the despicable Abu Hamza who was the imam of Finsbury Park Mosque, that had to be raid and shut down as a public danger and terrorist hub. Not to mention Caucasus Emirate, Al-Shabaab, the jihadist Boko Haram UK, Ansar Dine, Ansar al-Sharia, all of which have UK cells and have been involved in terrorist attacks in the UK, and or in supporting and supplying terrorist cells.
And before you start calling me Islamophobic, I grew up with Muslim neighbours, I had my first job given to me by my best friends father (Mr. Al-Bharhani) when I was 14 in his corner shop and I could pull a list of Christian organisations with similar horrific agendas.

There is a great line in the comedy show Father Ted where the eponymous Ted tries to excuse paedophilia in the RC by saying, "Look only a very small percentage of Catholic Priests are paedophiles, 10% at most," to which his curate father Dougal says "Ted are there not about 40 million Catholic Priests world wide?"
"Anyway" says Ted. "were getting off topic!"

Not really, the first revolution of 1789 was lead by a cartel of statesmen and lawyers who caused a flourishing of poverty and mal treatment which they blamed on the monarchy in order to manipulate the people in to rebelling. After six years of the so called Reign of Terror came to an end with the second revolution, after Robespierre himself was executed by his own confederates. The monarchy was restored and ruled as a puppet figurehead until the third revolution of 1848 ousted them again and an oligarchy mascaraing as a republic seized power, that in one form or another lasted until 1958 and the establishment of the 5th republic.

**Me: ** Yes but it is a very conditional love

@Ray13 Yes, there is an unofficial remake called "The House of the Long Shadows" featuring Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing, Vincent Price and John Carradine, that follows more or less the original plot (most of the official remakes follow the plot of "The Ghoul" instead) it's worth a look

@Ray13 Ernest Thesiger was something of a genius, he rarely made films, (averaging one per year through his career to finance his theatre company) but when he did, he always stole them out from under everyone else.

You respond to a comment to @OldMetalHead that Pravda, your source, is pro Russian and anti Putin. I just did a quick search, suggest people do that all the time, and found Vadim Goshenin a "professed Putin supportor" runs Pravda.
LenHazell53 replies on May 15, 2022:
@Beowulfsfriend There is no such Person as Vadim Goshenin, Vadim Gorshenin founded but does not run the pro Putin Pravda.ru it is run by Konstantin Kostin and his wife Olga Kostina Deputy head of the internal politics of the presidential administration of Russia, Putin's right hand man.
However, since 1999 there have been two publications legally named Pravda, one owned and by former members of the communist Party of Russia and one by the Kostins.
If I have confused the two I apologise.

Garban comments on May 12, 2022:
This isn’t news. This has been acknowledged for generations. Where did you get “ tens of thousands” from? Made that up did you?
LenHazell53 replies on May 15, 2022:
@Garban I do not know when you were labelled a racist, I have no knowledge of your stance on racial issues but, for what it is worth, you have never struck me as such, I suspect very few people here are and those I have blocked.
Regardless of all that, your writings and opinions on most subjects here have struck me as those of an educated and sensible person, which is why such bile and a willingness to ignore facts in order to participate in the knee-jerk reaction silencing of an individual, surprises me.
By the way I don't believe in lecturing on morality, or objective morality as a whole, simply in, hopefully, productive personal ethics.
