RMweb Gold chris p bacon Posted July 8, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 8, 2017 Probably made him some money that tune, so why the long face? Must admit that I only remembered the tune when the Indian name was mentioned above, at aged 14 I obviously missed the Drugs and homosexual references.

cheesysmith Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 This was just on facebook, and need sharing to a wider audiance. On her radio show, Dr. Laura said that, as an observant Orthodox Jew, homosexuality is an abomination according to Leviticus 18:22, and cannot be condoned under any circumstance. The following response is an open letter to Dr. Schlesinger, written by a US man, and posted on the Internet. It's funny, as well as quite informative: Dear Dr. Laura: Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. I have learned a great deal from your show, and try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind them that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination. End of debate. I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some other elements of God's Laws and how to follow them. 1. Leviticus 25:44 states that I may possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can't I own Canadians? 2. I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her? 3. I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period of menstrual uncleanliness - Lev.15: 19-24. The problem is, how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offense. 4. When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odor for the Lord - Lev.1:9. The problem is my neighbors. They claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them? 5. I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2 clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself, or should I ask the police to do it? 6. A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an abomination, Lev. 11:10, it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don't agree. Can you settle this? Are there 'degrees' of abomination? 7. Lev. 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle-room here? 8. Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev. 19:27. How should they die? 9. I know from Lev. 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves? 10. My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev.19:19 by planting two different crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town together to stone them? Lev.24:10-16. Couldn't we just burn them to death at a private family affair, like we do with people who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev. 20:14) I know you have studied these things extensively and thus enjoy considerable expertise in such matters, so I'm confident you can help. Thank you again for reminding us that God's word is eternal and unchanging. Your adoring fan, James M. Kauffman, Ed.D. Professor Emeritus, Dept. Of Curriculum, Instruction, and Special Education University of Virginia P.S. (It would be a damn shame if we couldn't own a Canadian.) 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BG John Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 I'm English, but live in Wales. Does that mean I can only own English slaves, or should I buy Welsh slaves who live in England? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember it at all (I was only 6) but in the early to mid 90s there was a happy hardcore tune that used a sample of the start of the tune, (may have been by slipmatt or Carl cox) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Blue Streak Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 A real Pub in Cunderdin built to replicate a famous Aussie cartoon Pub. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidB-AU Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 There were four (now three) Ettamogah pubs based on the cartoon. The original at Ettamogah in NSW and copies at Palmview (Qld), Cunderin (WA) and Kellyville Ridge (a suburb of Sydney). Following a dispute over intellectual property rights, the one in Queensland dropped the name in 2014. Cheers David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

N15class Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Not sure if this makes me laugh or cry. I know there are differences between English and American English. Letters missed out or changed. But this is way off, not the best way of teaching kids the alphabet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozexpatriate Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 But this is way off, not the best way of teaching kids the alphabet. X is tricky. "Box" is a much easier word for children than Xylophone. X-ray isn't really a word and X-ing is just plain confusing since it is properly "Crossing", not "exing". There are plenty of "Ex" words, but few of them work well for pictograms - such as example, exciting, extreme, etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
N15class Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 That might be the case but then why have all the others starting in the letter not just having it in the word. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Coryton Posted July 10, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 10, 2017 That might be the case but then why have all the others starting in the letter not just having it in the word. Because unlike "x" there are lots of common words starting with those letters? Having said that, "x-ray" may not be a word but it does start with an "x" pronounced as an "x" (unlike xylophone). I could make a comment about them thinking out of the box... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozexpatriate Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Having said that, "x-ray" may not be a word but it does start with an "x" pronounced as an "x" (unlike xylophone). Surely Xylophone would be better spelled as "Zylophone" but there are no 'rules' in the English language after all - just guidelines. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
