12:27 am

itsonme

In this case, however, it's not a volcano but a laboratory vessel -- with a lower case E

12:35 am

Angb

Hi colhad

12:35 am

herinfernallady

12:35 am

Colhad

hi Angb

12:35 am

itsonme

to 7/32?

12:36 am

jillibus

why are these dogs trained for security?

12:36 am

Colhad

loyal dogs, but I have heard they can turn against the owner, German Shephards

12:37 am

Angb

What - shepherds - doubt it - you might get that from other breeds - but not shepherds!

12:37 am

herinfernallady

um jilli the belguim shepard is from police bloodlines and needs its brain excersised otherwise its not fair on the dog and the other dog needs disciplin

12:38 am

Angb

Ditto with german shepherds - they are working dogs

12:38 am

jillibus

there are so many myths about so many breeds of dogs, when it's usually the owners who cause them

12:38 am

Erda

such creative spellings for shepherd -- and Belgium...

12:38 am

herinfernallady

true jill

12:38 am

Angb

I would agree there jilli.

12:39 am

herinfernallady

sorry i have a new keyboard and not enough coffee in my system

12:39 am

herinfernallady

sorry i have a new keyboard and not enough coffee in my system

12:39 am

stonefox

breeding dogs is wrong. adopt from yr local pound.

12:39 am

Colhad

yeh, gotta think sheep herder

12:40 am

Angb

Or get rid of people who breed the dogs that are not wanted stonefox

12:40 am

itsonme

anyone have the 5th to4/4?

12:40 am

jillibus

infernal, the breed is the Belgian Shepherd and there are three varieties, Tervuren, Malinois and Laeken. I know whereof I speak.

12:40 am

herinfernallady

stone both dogs are rescue dogs, one is from a lady that couldn't take him overseas an the other is from a litter of puppys that would have been destroyed

12:40 am

Colhad

don't buy pitbulls, too dangerous

12:40 am

herinfernallady

thanks jilli

12:41 am

stonefox

ah

12:41 am

TeaNCrackers

ps 4/5? oy, the words in here!

12:41 am

stonefox

i have a pitbull beagle mix and shes the sweetest thing ever

12:41 am

herinfernallady

colhad that is not true about pitbulls, its the toss owners that cause the problems that and poor breding

12:42 am

herinfernallady

pitbulls are meant to be banned here but there are loop oles

12:42 am

jillibus

Stone fox, breeding dogs carefully, with attention to temperament, health and pedigree is RIGHT and responsible breeders and responsible owners are wonderful. It's also fine to adopt dogs from shelters, but they should never end up there.

12:42 am

herinfernallady

errr sodding keyboard, holes

12:42 am

Colhad

people breed em for fighting

12:43 am

jillibus

Oh please!

12:43 am

itsonme

ps 4/5? Clue?

12:43 am

TeaNCrackers

no vowels

12:43 am

Erda

try shooshing someone up, itsonme...

12:43 am

itsonme

ooh ohkay thanks

12:44 am

helenkeller

okay - i'm back from the slide show - great dogs! is that a pom?

12:44 am

Atalante

hi all :) it tends not to be pure bred pit bulls that are used for fighting, anyway, its cross-bred pit bulls

12:44 am

melonheadjujube

don't tell anybody!

12:45 am

herinfernallady

colhad true, but my parents have a staffy and thats the next bred to be banned, stupid parents should also be on that list that fail to not tell their offspring 'not to touch the nice doggy"

12:45 am

helenkeller

jili - ITA with you !!!! careful breeding is crucial to maintaining the quality of the breed - notice i said CAREFUL breeding

12:45 am

melonheadjujube

the troubl with the typeface in chat is that pom looks like porn - am i wrong?

12:46 am

herinfernallady

melon your naughty

12:46 am

melonheadjujube

i nearly got a very different impression of hk....;)

12:46 am

itsonme

The third to 5/10

12:46 am

helenkeller

herinfern - lol - i agree about the parents

12:46 am

melonheadjujube

me not naughty - me have bad eyesight! and - it's the font's fault.

12:46 am

helenkeller

lol mel!

12:48 am

herinfernallady

my friends dog has to have a muzzle on when we walk her as little kids have tormented her so she will bite if scared. I find it funny when i hold her and then pat her through the muzzle as she wont bite me and laugh at the peoples faces

12:48 am

jillibus

staffs and "similar breeds" have already been banned in Ontario because of public ignorance. "Similar breeds" include a wide variety because many peope don't even know what a pitbull or a staff or an amstaff really look like and think Boxers and who knows what else are the same thing. They are ALL gentle dogs if CAREFULLY bred and sold to the right owners

12:49 am

helenkeller

so was that a pomeranian - cause i have a pom also - i have 2 shepherds 120 & 100lbs (that we kept from 2 litters we bred) a medium sized rescue mutt & the 6 lb. pom - hubby has a guard dogs security business - he is always rescuing overly agressive dogs & training the them, but he takes mostly shepherds -

12:49 am

helenkeller

and i also have never, ever heard of a german shepherd turning on it's owner, they are one of the most loyal & protective breeds there are

12:50 am

Angb

Yes ... in fact ... they are one owner dogs usually, and would never turn on the owner.

12:50 am

Atalante

I have, hk. I know 2 people that has happened to and they were loving dog owners

12:50 am

itsonme

wow... lotsa long posts!

12:50 am

itsonme

lol

12:50 am

spangles

In Australia the pitbull is a restricted breed. In Victoria if you already own a pitbull terrier it has to be desexed. These are considered to be feral animals.

12:50 am

helenkeller

exactly jili - most of the problem lies with ignorant owners & knee-jerk lawmakers

12:51 am

jillibus

Considered by whom????

12:51 am

Angb

It is interesting after having german shepherds for two decades I have a golden retriever ... that is a major cahnge.

12:51 am

Angb

Ata - that is interesting ... it would be great to find out why the dog did it ... they do not bite their owners for no reason.

12:52 am

Angb

Anyway before this gets too carried away should go and finish cooking dinner. Hungry family... and I am half way thru the grid. This is an easy one.

12:52 am

Tiny

Hi to Everyone

12:52 am

Atalante

I don't know in one case, it was when I was a kid, I will ask about the other and get back to you!

12:52 am

jillibus

Occasionally a dog has a screw loose, just like people but far more rarely if you think about it.

12:52 am

helenkeller

i agree ang - it is not in their nature - shepherds tend to be very serious dogs

12:53 am

jillibus

Hi Tiny!

12:53 am

itsonme

the 5th to 4/4?

12:53 am

MVA

morning all!

12:53 am

Tiny

Is this grid hard or easy

12:54 am

jillibus

attagirl, itsonme, stick to the game! LOL!

12:54 am

itsonme

lol

12:54 am

herinfernallady

spangles i say its feral people not the dogs that are a problem, my parents staffy would eiter lick you to death or crush you with 40pounds of dog

12:55 am

itsonme

I would like to get all the T's before I go to bed..

12:55 am

itsonme

I have only 6 Ts left.

12:56 am

helenkeller

we raised a litter of pit bulls a couple of years ago - there was a car towing lot a few doors from where lenny kept his guard dogs & these guys had this poor pregnant pit bull, chained, laying the the 100 degree plus heat with no food & only watered her once per day, after 2 days of him noticing this - he took his bolt cutters, cut through their fence & brought the dog home- then he went & told them he was a dog lover & told them what he did & asked if they had any problem with it - lenny is 6'3", 275 lbs & can be extrememly intimidating - those jerks had nothing to say & didn't even threaten to call the cops

12:56 am

spangles

my sister has a saffy he is very friendly. The pitbull is not the same breed

12:56 am

Atalante

good for him!

12:57 am

herinfernallady

good for him

12:57 am

jillibus

people like that jerk make me sick, helen

12:57 am

MVA

good for him

12:58 am

itsonme

I need te7/28, the 3rd to5/10, to6/18, the 5th to4/4, the 4th to5/10, and to7/32

12:58 am

helenkeller

so, i raised these pit bull pups same as we had raised our shepherd litters, had neighborhood kids come over on their 11am & 7pm playing schedule & those pups turned out to be the sweetest little pit bulls, we still hear from a few of the owners- how every pleased they are with their pits - it's all in how you raise them

12:58 am

Angelakk

itsoneme, the 5th to 4/4 is the sound a child's horn makes

12:58 am

helenkeller

i will tell him you all said that - it will make him smile, thanks

12:58 am

Angelakk

and the to 5/10 immediately after is pl of the 4/4

12:58 am

itsonme

thankyou angelakk

12:58 am

Atalante

it is! the problem lies with people who either don't care for their dogs, or train them to be aggressive

12:58 am

herinfernallady

my cousin had a pitty and he used to used as a 'horsey; by the kids

12:59 am

jillibus

sorry, itsonme - too busy bemoaning the ignorance of some people about dogs to have even tried to get all the t words!

12:59 am

itsonme

lol, jilli!

12:59 am

itsonme

Ok, 4 left then.

1:00 am

itsonme

I need te7/28, the 3rd to5/10, to6/18, and to7/32

1:01 am

herinfernallady

on a final note, my parents dog is known as a bulldozer or epidermis as she follows my dad evey where. sorry right back to puzzle

1:01 am

helenkeller

yes, me too, have been tied up with the dog chat - just like many people feel sorry for dogs who are kept outside year round - dogs are not people, have diff. body temps & different type of skin & of course fur - our guard dogs are all outside dogs, in winter they all have large igloos with straw, we've only had to shelter them once in the last 10 years, when temps got really frigid

1:02 am

herinfernallady

dogs are people with fur

1:03 am

helenkeller

hubs always says dogs are better than people

1:03 am

Atalante

I'd hate to see a person equivalent of a spaniel! Someone with ADD maybe?

1:03 am

Norad

itsonme... 3rd to 5/10...when something is heavy, you say it weighs a to*, then make it french

1:03 am

jillibus

we were breeders and exhibitors of champion Great Danes who were also pets and obedience trained. One day a guy drove up on a motor bike and asked if we trained dogs. Because of his attitude I asked "Trained for what?" "For attack", he said. "Never," I replied. " a Dane could kill someone." "That's what I want." said this jerk, "If someone ties to steal my motorbike, he deserves to die." End of story.

1:03 am

helenkeller

LOL ata !!!!

1:03 am

Norad

then to 6/18 is plural

1:03 am

Angelakk

thanks, Norad

1:04 am

helenkeller

1:12 am

melonheadjujube

1:13 am

herinfernallady

umm did i give a word away?

1:13 am

helenkeller

i love the german shepherd one, how the dog first must excort everyone to safety, return & make sure he didn't miss anyone, ...

1:14 am

herinfernallady

i think there was another one that referred to 'go ask the great dane"

1:14 am

dingleberry

te + plural letter + to4/4 melon

1:15 am

melonheadjujube

tx ding, it's sort of like bunting for an exam.

1:16 am

dingleberry

oh, i was just looking at the definition - sez it is an old french/british coin

1:16 am

melonheadjujube

OK, me hearties, ot8 and another an7 - not the yellow one - & i can go to bed.

1:17 am

helenkeller

finally

1:17 am

melonheadjujube

it was a classic case "i shoulda turned left..."

1:18 am

helenkeller

golden retriever: the sun is shining, the day is young, we've got out whole lives ahead of us, and you're inside worrying about a stupid burned out light bulb?

1:18 am

herinfernallady

yep

1:18 am

helenkeller

border collie: just one. and then i'll replace any wiring that's not up to code.

1:18 am

helenkeller

dachshund: you know i can't reach that stupid lamp!

1:18 am

helenkeller

rottweiler: make me.

1:19 am

helenkeller

boxer: who care? i can still play with my squeaky toys in the dark.

1:20 am

1:20 am

1:20 am

helenkeller

1:20 am

itsonme

1:21 am

tazpink

an7 was a yellow spice?

1:21 am

melonheadjujube

oh, thankyouthankyouthankyou - i had the prefix - to do with the ear - then had a failure of imagination.

1:21 am

helenkeller

german shepherd: i'll change it as soon as i've lead these people from the darm, check to make sure i haven't missed any, and make just one more perimeter patrol to see that no one has tried to take advantage of the situation.

1:21 am

melonheadjujube

just the an7 that's not yellow

1:21 am

helenkeller

jack russell terrier: i'll just pop it in while i'm bouncing off the walls & the furniture.

1:22 am

1:22 am

helenkeller

old english sheep dog: light bulb? i'm sorry, but i don't see a light bulb!

1:22 am

helenkeller

cocker spaniel: why change it? i can still pee on the carpet in the dark.

1:23 am

helenkeller

chihuahua: yo quiero taco bulb. or 'we don't need no stinking light bulb.'

1:23 am

1:25 am

tazpink

yes i have seen those befroe very cute

1:25 am

helenkeller

also - cats do not change light bulbs, people change light bulbs, so the real question is: how long will it be before i can expect some light, some dinner & a massage?

Haz1558

It doesn't mean that pit bulls aren't viscious though.

3:08 am

Ornith

3:09 am

Angb

I think that small dogs have like short man syndrome

3:09 am

herinfernallady

i have never liked those yappy little things, i was just refering to an earlier conversation

3:09 am

tazpink

pit bulls ar enot visous but are certainly owned by enough thugs you are not good. Any dog can be agressive. Pits have strenght and a high prey drive and pack instiinct

3:17 am

SueMagee

3:17 am

Ornith

3:26 am

jellytots

hey mrs way!

3:26 am

FranMag

rolin, the glove clue is is7 and is8

3:26 am

Haz1558

Yes - just a play on the radiation measure clue and Mr Blair's name.

3:26 am

SueMagee

The abbreviation for Tony is to 4/4, Ornith.

FranMag

3:32 am

Haz1558

rolin

3:35 am

FranMag

does everyone have ta7/28? i guess since we have most pale we should have most brown

3:36 am

Ornith

jelly, there's a few clues in the log for long ones only a little way back

3:36 am

Haz1558

The best advice is to look for four letter words initially. There are some just looking at you on the grid.

3:36 am

rolin

fran...thats the ta7...

3:36 am

jellytots

thanks 4 d help!

3:36 am

FMitch

3:36 am

Angb

Me too FMitch

3:37 am

Ornith

I'm at 92 myself... and slowed down too. 100 is definitely one of the good numbers, though at least I'm more than halfway

Haz1558

I'm missing the same 7 as you FranMag!

3:52 am

FranMag

at least i'm in good company!

3:53 am

FMitch

Im missing one of the a's and the mystery 7.

3:54 am

FranMag

fmitch, the an's are the same up to the last two letters.

3:54 am

Haz1558

Do you have the an7/28 - variation of the spelling of the an6/18 - the tree (is it the lipstick one)

3:54 am

FranMag

one is the natural dye, lipstick plant that has lots and lots of different names.

3:54 am

FranMag

i grew up calling it achiote

3:56 am

FMitch

Gosh the lipstick tree hasn't bee in the grid for months, many thanks.

3:57 am

FranMag

the other an7 is an** from the king and i + ***s of the d'ubervilles (sp?)

3:57 am

Haz1558

But that means we are all missing the same 7. Do we torture ourselves further or will someone sneak a peek at the list?

3:57 am

FranMag

which i guess you have already! :-)

3:57 am

FMitch

Final 7 is te7/28 strange looking word look like "to try out a song" sort of :)

3:58 am

Haz1558

No need to sneak that peek, then!

3:58 am

Haz1558

Thanks FMitch - it's an Italian coin, apparently.

3:59 am

FranMag

great clue fmitch!

3:59 am

FMitch

great! wasn't sure if that clue would work.

3:59 am

FranMag

thanks!

3:59 am

Haz1558

Oh, you know the way our minds work - try out a song was perfect!

4:02 am

Haz1558

Okay - time for a break, the remaining words will have my attention once I've got the house into some sort of shape. Back later!

4:02 am

FranMag

angb - please clue the 2 w7 - am going round and round and will probably kick myself

5:30 am

Angb

The last letter of the word for pale though is repeated - makes them a bit wierd

5:32 am

pida 1

thanks Angb

5:34 am

Angb

You're welcome. But I learnt a lesson today - there are too many double up letters in the grid. A word starts one place, and then you can build on the same word from another place. If you think the word is there "have a go".

5:35 am

faeriekae

Thanks Angb finally got them myself

5:35 am

pida 1

This is why we spend so much babbling. We are learning. : )

8:31 am

kthdsn

to7/32, throw + pan

8:31 am

Haz1558

Derision especially with reference to drinking habits.

8:32 am

GoBraves

ty eva :-)

8:32 am

kthdsn

haz I didn't know it was to do with drinking, I thought it was a general insult

8:32 am

ylleria

lol - thanks kthdsn & wolvie - I'm suprised that one's in there at all :)

8:33 am

Wolvie

it's an old term for a mean drunk, IIRC

8:33 am

Haz1558

It means a drunkard, specifically but is probably generally used as an insult now.

8:33 am

EvaNadine

never heard that term -- any idea if its more traditionally british?

8:33 am

Haz1558

Possibly - I wonder if Shakespeare used it?

8:34 am

ypsigirl

like my Grampa used to call people... potlickers! HA HO

8:34 am

Haz1558

Yes, it appears in Twelth Night.

8:35 am

Wolvie

Largest I've bought was a hockey jersey. Sorry, no help.

1:00 pm

msree

Whatcha waiting for?

1:00 pm

hurshy

pinball machines

1:01 pm

msree

cool, how are they being shipped?

1:01 pm

vedaman

machines plural? are they arcade stands?

1:01 pm

hurshy

i dunno, that is why i don't know how long they would take. i assume just whatever is cheapest. does that mean it could be 6-8 weeks?

1:01 pm

jean1953

oh hurshy pinball is as addictive as babble you know lol

1:01 pm

hurshy

it's only been 2.

1:02 pm

msree

didn't the seller mention in the info what/how the shipping would be?

1:02 pm

hurshy

i'm making a game room in my basement :) my pool/ping pong/air hockey table is arriving tomorrow, and i already have my darts and foosball

1:02 pm

girlfriday

OT 6/18 please

1:03 pm

msree

hurshy, when may I move in?

1:03 pm

hurshy

the seller did not mention what the shipping would be, only the shipping cost (which was not a lot for a large item, hence my assumption that it is cheapest shipping possible).

1:03 pm

hurshy

lol msree

1:04 pm

msree

I could sleep under the foosball table. : )

1:04 pm

hurshy

ot + proboscis change n to i

Atalante

hi all :) why don't you email her and ask how long she expects it to be?

1:05 pm

greengeeny

hey hurshy...we have a pinball machine...Seawitch...and beware!! Only the original person who worked on it will do any repairs for you. There are only a couple of places nationally who actually do repairs. I know that three that we have gone through only repair the ones that they have bought themselves and restored. Make sure you get that information from the seller.

1:05 pm

girlfriday

thanks hursy, down to the last 13 and Im struggling!

1:05 pm

hurshy

i don't want to be pushy...

1:05 pm

Atalante

thats not pushy, its asking a question that she hasn't provided the info for

1:06 pm

hurshy

green... i've ordered 3, one of which has never been used... so i'm figuring i should get at least one that works. :)

1:07 pm

vedaman

how much were they?

1:07 pm

msree

girlfriday, ta7/28 person who's spent the most time in the sun

1:07 pm

hurshy

well i did buy it now on one of them to make sure i got one, and got it for 102 including shipping. then i bid on 2 others and together i spent 121 on them including shipping (nobody bid on one of them so i got it really cheap)

1:08 pm

msree

good prices hurshy

1:08 pm

girlfriday

thanks, Msree.

1:08 pm

msree

yw

1:08 pm

vedaman

wow, I'd think they'd be a lot more expensive than that.

1:09 pm

vedaman

pe5 is household animal + ** be or not ** be

1:09 pm

hurshy

they are not the kind that have a whole big box, if you know what i mean... they are as big as those but they stand on four legs instead of a whole big base, so they are cheaper than the other sort.

1:10 pm

greengeeny

wow...we paid 800 for ours...and 1200 for the one before it...Ours worked too, but they are very sensitive machines. We ended up getting a book on pinball repair so we could fix little things

1:10 pm

vedaman

that's more what I'd expect them to cost.

1:10 pm

majmom

need the one after that vedaman

1:10 pm

hurshy

yours were probably the real box kind though green

1:11 pm

hurshy

i didn't want to spend that much so i went with the ones with legs instead.

1:11 pm

vedaman

that is the last 5/12. there's a 4 after it, seating in a church

1:12 pm

greengeeny

both of ours had four legs, but are really big. No big bos base though. The first one was a classic from the 60's...an old baseball one that had no electronic gizmos whatsoever...and Seawitch is one from the early 80's which has electronic sound, but no multiball

1:13 pm

majmom

sorry guess its the one before it then

1:13 pm

EspritdJean

hurshey - I just saw your clue about a tool an eye doctor uses . . . ot8/50 is what an EAR doctor uses

1:13 pm

hurshy

1:13 pm

vedaman

the one before it is an annoyance or pe**, plural

JaxH

Just got it ta v much

2:28 pm

TheFiz

interesting question rolin. i would have to say yes - if you can't offend a religious group, then wouldn't that in effect be the group imposing its belief system - if only in terms of speech - on everyone else?

2:28 pm

lshult

Hi everyone. About to call it a night. Just 20 words to go, but first, I have the is8, but does anyone have a clue to the other 8?

2:29 pm

Do you mean offending a religion's tenets or portraying practioners of that religion in an offensive manner?

2:29 pm

rolin

ishult..it ensds with sc5/14

2:30 pm

TheFiz

in either case, tor, i would think free speech would trump. unless direct violence is threatened....

2:30 pm

rolin

tor...they are talking about things like the cartoons of the prophet...and a film that had the koran being shown on a womans naked body

2:30 pm

JFB

torgone it seems you can only offend Christians without fear of comeback

2:30 pm

majmom

the 3rd to 4/4 and the 2nd to 5/12?

2:30 pm

rolin

as well as critising the practices of religions etc

2:31 pm

ok the fact the ps4/5 is a word is just wrong.

2:31 pm

thats not true jfb...what about the woman who was sent home for the wearing of the cross?

2:31 pm

maj..3rd to4/4...what you do on a trunmpet

2:32 pm

smaller

oops, sorry for the levity, wasn't reading the dialogue. pardon my intrusion.

2:32 pm

JFB

There was a mockup of the Last Supper shown in newspapers here with the England football teams heads superimposed on it. And the cross was deemed to be jewellery.

2:32 pm

TheFiz

i agree smaller. not really a word in the traditional sense...

2:32 pm

rolin

aahh...but be honest jfb...football...IS a religion here

2:33 pm

TheFiz

lol rolin!

2:33 pm

That is true - but can you imagine the uproar if a tuban was called a fashion statement?

2:34 pm

jean1953

welcome back stidmama

2:35 pm

majmom

otoes

2:35 pm

rolin

but a turban has never been an option...a cross IS an option....millions of christians practice their religion without outward display...sikhs have no choice

2:35 pm

TheFiz

i think the argument of cross vs. turban was that wearing the turban is core to practicing the religion, whereas wearing a cross on the outside of your clothes is certainly a choice. no one said she had to take it off, just tuck it in.

2:36 pm

rolin

exactly..fiz... the equivalent would be expecting sikhs to wear hoodies...

2:36 pm

stidmama

but for many christians, wearing a cross is not optional... depends on the sect, as with so many religions not all variants believe or practice identical things.

2:37 pm

rolin

but is the croos reuired to be worn on display?

2:37 pm

TheFiz

*giggling at mental picture while trying not to be offensive*

2:37 pm

stidmama

For some, yes Rolin -- esp. members of religious orders.

2:37 pm

rolin

and this woman stid...was just an ordinary christian..not a membner of a sect...she was simply taking a stand...

2:38 pm

torgone

I think some religions need to work on not being offended so much . .

2:38 pm

TheFiz

i suppose if one was flying on Nun Airlines one might expect the flight attendants to wear a cross on the outside of their uniform, but I doubt that was the case for this woman...

2:38 pm

rolin

well for a nun...or an employee of the church...thats different from a airline desk operative

2:38 pm

Jinxie

Hey Jinxie, you just might see fireworks this week. Lion is driving me crazy.

2:39 pm

well tor... one of the speakers said this debate is about the traditionalists and the modernists

2:39 pm

TheFiz

*disclaimer: TheFiz grew up in a completely secular household and means no offense to anyone. Please blame any missteps on her ignorance rather than bad intentions. Thank you.

2:39 pm

mab

true, stid, a line is difficult to draw. what about orthodox jews wearing tzittzit, the fringed garment under the shirt, or muslim school girls wearing scarves to school...

2:39 pm

Jinxie

Hey Jinxie! What's up??

2:40 pm

stidmama

It would, for me, depend on what most people in that person's sect wore. Just as not all muslim women wear hijab, so not all Christians wear crosses and not all Jewish men wear the hat...

2:40 pm

stidmama

but many do! and their religious rights need to be respected.

2:40 pm

rolin

mab...the jews are just as victimised about wearing the tzittzit...as the girls for wearing hijab

2:41 pm

rolin

but an orthodox jew is like a sikh...the man must wear his head covered..

2:41 pm

tndaisy1960

{{{{Stid}}}}

2:41 pm

So I think a "one size fits all" rule doesn't work. Actually, things like that rarely work...

2:41 pm

Minski

thanks for the wa clue rolin. had to get baby up from nap so I didn't get it until just now. forgot about the double consonent letter.

2:41 pm

mab

right. and both are following religious dictates.

2:41 pm

rolin

ii dont think that the koran specifies that women wear their head covered...it speaks of modesty...and this has been interpretted to wear the head/body covered

2:41 pm

TheFiz

it seems like the challenge is when one tries to practice a traditional religion in a modern world. It

2:41 pm

stidmama

but dictates that are peculiar to their variety of their religion, not a basic item to all adherents of the religion/

2:42 pm

stidmama

good point, Fiz!

2:42 pm

bichon

could someone give "actual" clues for the an 7's. I'm confused

2:42 pm

it's so difficult to balance what seem like perfectly reasonable "dress codes" on first blush while still allowing others whose religious requirements are infringed upon by such codes.

there are two an 7/28... both start w/four letter woman's name + cross letter. one ends in "spanish" for "is" and the other ends in opposite of "from"

2:43 pm

JFB

Thats the crux of the matter Fiz. If a Christian lives in a predominantly Muslim country they adjust to suit but it doesn't seem to work the other way round

2:43 pm

musicmom

Hi all. I'm sorry to interrupt this very interesting discussion. I need help with the to 7 that is after a gentle throw

2:43 pm

TheFiz

and the lines are difficult to draw. it's clear to me that a sikh man who wants to work at disneyland should be able to have a full beard. but what about an orthodox jewish woman who wants to be a waitress at hooters? besides the questionable career choice....

2:43 pm

PurloinedLetter

The question you pose, rolin, is very complex. Freedom of speech is not to my knowledge subject to any international law; rather; the confines of free speech are set by each country. Free speech then bumps up against freedom of religion-- again governed by the law of each country. In my mind, the issue is whether exercizing a freedom that causes a vehement reaction is prudent. If a country is going to retaliate to the point of a war.... the risks are high.

2:44 pm

stidmama

But aren't the laws in most muslim nations very clear as to what people may and may not wear (I know that in Saudi Arabia people may not even own a Christian Bible even when just traveling through...); most Christian nations don't have such repressive laws.

2:45 pm

Jinxie

I saw that you added some words at a weird hour. Is that because you are up with the boy, or are you partying with Liz E bear and JJ ?

2:45 pm

What you describe as repressive, is from your point of view..... the muslims, of course, may not agree.

what a great word! thanks judy

2:47 pm

According to N.T. Scripture Paul points out that we should not offend just to offend Romans 14 and 15 cover this. I need to look up the actual reference but he talks about becoming all things to all people so as not to offend.

Some religions will be flexible when one has other pressing requirements - i'm sure that muslim surgeons don't drop to their knees and pray in the middle of a surgery, nor do orthodox jewish ones walk out of the operating room at sunset on friday. the challenge is deciding what the deciding factor is when freedom of speech and freedom of religion are in direct conflict.

I think a good way of looking at it was set by a court judgement in the US (not a lawyer, can't cite case law): if a person is capable of performing a job while wearing or practicing their religion, then they need to be allowed to do the job. If their religious garb presents a hazard to themselves or others (as long things dangling off a body can when working around machinery) then they need to find another job.

Many in extreme Christian Fundamentalism have done the same with the Law of Christ today.

stid, a similar rule exists for people with disabilities. if you can make reasonable accomodations to do a job, you need to - but that doesn't mean that paraplegeics are being discriminated against when they are turned down for jobs as bike messengers.

Many in the world have never known free speech. The freedoms we speak of are now global. Voltaire said, "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." In today's world, we may have to, whether we want to or not, if attacked.

UGH this is what I'm talking about Libarebel. I'm sure the Bible says God is the one who will decide who goes to heaven.

3:03 pm

musicmom

I bet not Lib. I would have too.

3:03 pm

TheFiz

well - to give you a little insight into my upbringing - my parents decided against christopher, and i was a girl anyway, and whenever anyone asks what they would have named me if I was a boy they answer, "Morris Boris".

3:04 pm

stidmama

sure -- he could be "doctor" "lawyer" engineer...

3:04 pm

PurloinedLetter

this discussion started with a question about the right to offend religion.... and has gone full circle ..... from outrage over attacks to attacking ..... very interesting.

3:05 pm

kalea

my husband was a camp clergyman last summer......one girl came to him in tears, cuz her pentecostal preacher told her that her parents were going to hell for not going to church.......he was so angry over that

3:05 pm

heehee, stid!

3:05 pm

TheFiz

3:05 pm

stidmama

who is attacking, purloined?

3:05 pm

evanonut

my mom was told she was going to hell by a priest when she was a little girl

3:06 pm

TheFiz

i don't think we're attacking religion, purloined - just sharing stories of how it has and hasn't worked for us!

3:06 pm

libarebel

I don't see any attacks here..

3:06 pm

evanonut

however, one of my best friends was a priest...i'm not against them

3:06 pm

finished

3:06 pm

TheFiz

3:06 pm

attack of the killer tomatoes???

3:06 pm

stidmama

Too many people, of any religion, feel they "know" what their god/s want and that they have the right to impose it on others. ergo, I affiliate with no religion.

3:06 pm

stidmama

YAY scatty!

3:07 pm

3:09 pm

PurloinedLetter

When someone says how upset he/she is over a religious teaching, in my mind it is an attack on the treaching; you don't have to agree.

in any event 90-y-o bones don't heal that quickly, and she's got a compression fracture in another vertebra, so she's in a lot of pain and can't go to the rehab center yet - plus she's diabetic and whenever she gets stressed her sugar goes all out of whack. i'm thinking that a trip over Veteran's day weekend might be in order...

3:28 pm

thanks so much greeny! see you tomorrow!

3:34 pm

i feel bad for her though - she had a pacemaker put in a month ago, and while she recovered they wanted her to use a bed pan. she told me that she wasn't listening to them - there were very few things she could still do on her own and when she couldn't go pee by herself it was time to put her out to pasture (this is a much milder version of what she actually said)

3:35 pm

scatty

even at 40% of the house it was £86-000 plus we also have to pay £280 every month ent as well as pay the mortgage

3:35 pm

TheFiz

my mom told me that she can't get out of bed on her own and they've got her cathederized. poor thing.

3:35 pm

scatty, I quit smoking 12 years ago with the patches. I used to have to take the patch off at night, cause I couldnt sleep with all that nicotine. After six weeks --by now I was on the lower dose patch--I forgot to ut a new one on in the morning. When I realized it in the aftermoon, I decided I had conquered my vice. No backsliding, since the patches then cost $200 for a months supply.
