Yes, it's "Justice." I think one obvious question is "how thorough is your briefing of the laws of the society, if you didn't know there was ONE penalty for law-breaking, and it could be dispensed for littering or jaywalking if it was done in a randomly-determined place?"

One the one hand, she didn't seem to mind enjoying the royal treatment she got, that vpw demanded they both get. She's been heard being rather bossy at times with jobs that had to be redone that were technically fine, but didn't look the way she pictured, so Way Builders had to pull out good work and start over. Her appearance at his side lent slick vic a legitimacy beyond his con. On the other hand, would any of us want to have traded places with her? Despite the creature comforts, she lived under vpw's thumb and at his sufferance. The man had a violent temper, chose to rage at will, was frequently drunk, and saw all other humans in relation to what they did for him, and not people in their own rights, due their own dignity. I have little doubt she lived in fear of him for much of her life. (Or "negative believing" for those of you who haven't freed yourself of compulsive wayspeak.)

Time for the next movie. "Springtime for Hitler and Germany. Winter for Poland and France."

It varies between languages, presumably to a common, pithy saying easily recognized by the audience. According to the IMDb page, http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0081505/trivia "The book that Jack was writing contained the one sentence ("All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy") repeated over and over. Stanley Kubrick had each page individually typed. For the Italian version of the film, Kubrick used the phrase "Il mattino ha l' oro in bocca" ("He who wakes up early meets a golden day"). For the German version, it was "Was Du heute kannst besorgen, das verschiebe nicht auf Morgen" ("Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today"). For the Spanish version, it was "No por mucho madrugar amanece más temprano" ("Rising early will not make dawn sooner."). For the French version, it was "Un 'Tiens' vaut mieux que deux 'Tu l'auras'" ("A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush"). "

Ok, in the interest of moving things along, I'll suppose there was some sort of confirmation for the correct episode in there somewhere, and post the next clue. =============================== "I've listed my report on their customs and laws, sir. Fairly simple, common sense things." "But even the happiest report has its negatives. Let's start with them." "There are none, sir. Not that any of us can find."

That's "the Shining." BTW, in other languages, that's not the sentence that gets repeated all over the book.

Nobody pulled that when I was in, either, but they did slowly work their way there after I left. Children, remember, were an inconvenience in twi- they did not contribute, and they used up time and money the parents could instead hand over to twi. So, there were things eventually like how, if civilization broke down (the conspiracy theories), the kids were expendable because the parents, if alive, could have more children. There were also leaders who told parents how to "take care" of their children. If the child didn't listen the first few times, then you were to whallop him with a 2 x 4. At least they were consistent- some of them whalloped their OWN SMALL CHILDREN for failing to do EXACTLY as they were told. Some parents were told to leave a disobedient child out in the woods and abandon them for life. Here's a pair of threads where we discussed the disposability of children. It started with vpw, of course, who recommended the same techniques for training hunting dogs as for CHILDREN- and reputable sources said these techniques are wrong for training DOGS! Hunt Close! close__fromsearch__1entry59312 Child abuse in twi abuse__fromsearch__1entry146773 Child abuse in the way abuse__fromsearch__1entry295965

HCW claimed he was always treated well by vpw himself. I think that vpw was a lazy stereotyper. It's always easy to make disparaging comments about, say, a n1gger or a spear-chucker, but not QUITE so easy to make disparaging comments about HCW, a fellow working on periodicals. It was a LOT easier just to regurgitate (plagiarize) what he was getting from the Liberty Lobby and other conspiracy sources (just as he did much the same with Christian sources) than to make any kind of real correction for any accuracy. Big surprise lcm pulled much the same stuff with conspiracies. Everyone else out there remember hearing from lcm that the Pope bought an aircraft carrier and was getting ready to force conversions to Roman Catholicism at bayonet-point?

"NO WIRE HANGERS, EVER!!!!!"

Luke 10: 25-37 25And a lawyer stood up and put Him to the test, saying, "Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?" 26And He said to him, "What is written in the Law? How does it read to you?" 27And he answered, "YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND; AND YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF." 28And He said to him, "You have answered correctly; DO THIS AND YOU WILL LIVE." 29But wishing to justify himself, he said to Jesus, "And who is my neighbor?" 30Jesus replied and said, "A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among robbers, and they stripped him and beat him, and went away leaving him half dead. 31"And by chance a priest was going down on that road, and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. 32"Likewise a Levite also, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. 33"But a Samaritan, who was on a journey, came upon him; and when he saw him, he felt compassion, 34and came to him and bandaged up his wounds, pouring oil and wine on them; and he put him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn and took care of him. 35"On the next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper and said, 'Take care of him; and whatever more you spend, when I return I will repay you.' 36"Which of these three do you think proved to be a neighbor to the man who fell into the robbers' hands?" 37And he said, "The one who showed mercy toward him." Then Jesus said to him, "Go and do the same." =============================== Is Billy living Christian values? Whether or not Billy is a Christian, it seems the values he espouses are Christian. (Presuming he accurately depicts himself and Tom accurately conveys Billy's heart.) His values are values Christ put forth. (Whether or not he upholds ALL Christ put forth remains to be seen, but that which IS seen matches Christ's words.) One may also say that Billy is living proper Jewish values, inasmuch as the values were also matching what a student of the Mosaic Law stated. I suppose there are Christians AND Jews who might give another answer- meaning that Billy would have to live ALL their values before they could approve. I am not among them. I'm also aware that to call something "Christian" and have it NOT be an insult can be rare in some circles. I don't hold to that either. I've seen non-Christians who've used the term "Christian" to refer to actions or ideas in a complimentary fashion. I believe the ability of them TO do so- mostly by actions and ideas matching those of Christ- is the entire idea behind being able to say so. (In case that was unclear, I mean that I think Christ had in mind that we would do good works and hold pure ideas, and that one result would be that the term "Christian" should be a compliment.) Matthew 5:14-16 " 14"You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden; 15nor does anyone light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. 16"Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven. "

Seems the only way to win is not to play, Flow7. That's "Wargames."

More LEAD threads. "LEAD" " Lead, Total Fitness Institute and John Summerville" " The dangers of Lead" But the first one Waysider linked, IMHO, was more relevant. Although I had my say more in the thread I linked called "LEAD" than in the others, I think. Not directly on LEAD, but related to things we were stupid enough to agree to, is this thread: "Foolhardy behavior"

In the episode, yes. But lcm can't carry a tune in a bucket.

Nice contrast, wasn't it? The little ugly statues in people's homes were scale models of the BIG ugly statue of vpw they had made. No, I never saw it, but the advertisements mentioned it.

Christian Family and Sex class. vpw is explaining that the man's testes were not completely in precise alignment with each other. One was slightly lower than the other. He said that they HAD to be that way. If they were together, they'd bang together, and "the man would be in such pain...he would just go nuts." His facial expression suggested he didn't catch the secondary meaning of the phrasing he used. =============================== pfal. When discussing "Giver and the Gift." "If I gave you this book on "Receiving the Holy Spirit Today", would you get the gift, or would you get me, the giver? Of course you wouldn't get the giver- how lucky could you get?"

Right- check up behind him. BUT, if you FIND anything, then you'd better keep your mouth shut, because they'll come down on you like a ton of bricks. I said something, but didn't take people step-by-step through exactly why it was true. (I said it too briefly- one verse referred to another, but I didn't take us word-by-word through both to demonstrate it. I figured people knew how to read, and the Bibles were open to both on the same page.) Someone said I couldn't just "say" it. Instead of taking them through it, I then asked if they'd accept it as true if vpw made the exact same claim and didn't support it. They said they would, without hesitation. I applaud their honesty, but not their brains at the time. That person was the spouse of a country coordinator at the time. After leaving twi, someone said once that vpw claimed he wasn't ready to BEGIN researching a verse until he'd read it FORTY TIMES. (Mind you, I consider that a GROSS exaggeration. Plus, just rereading something over and over in no way guarantees any greater UNDERSTANDING- certainly not after the first few- if you cared when you read it THE FIRST TIME.) That person then said he considered himself unqualified to reteach pfal because he hadn't read the entire Bible, Genesis to Revelation, FORTY TIMES. (Suggesting that A) that would be necessary to teach the Bible, and B) that vpw had actually done that

It was bound to happen eventually... Hope you enjoyed yours, homeslice.

This was the groovy hippie episode of TOS, easily the most dated episode, but it was quirky enough that I found it entertaining. I was never a hippie, so they seemed like an alien culture. :) Here's a piece of trivia... The lead singer there may look familiar if you watch it sometime. He's Charles Napier. If you saw the "Blues Brothers" movie, he played the lead singer/driver for the Country/Western band, "the Good Old Boys". Other than the singing, he doesn't quite look the hippie type to me in the episode.

Yes indeed. Your turn again.

http://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/115736/Sin-bins-for-worst-families Thursday July 23,2009 THOUSANDS of the worst families in England are to be put in “sin bins” in a bid to change their bad behaviour, Ed Balls announced yesterday. The Children’s Secretary set out £400million plans to put 20,000 problem families under 24-hour CCTV super-vision in their own homes. They will be monitored to ensure that children attend school, go to bed on time and eat proper meals. Private security guards will also be sent round to carry out home checks, while parents will be given help to combat drug and alcohol addiction. Around 2,000 families have gone through these Family Intervention Projects so far. But ministers want to target 20,000 more in the next two years, with each costing between £5,000 and £20,000 – a potential total bill of £400million. Ministers hope the move will reduce the number of youngsters who get drawn into crime because of their chaotic family lives, as portrayed in Channel 4 comedy drama Shameless. Sin bin projects operate in half of council areas already but Mr Balls wants every local authority to fund them. He said: “This is pretty tough and non-negotiable support for families to get to the root of the problem. There should be Family Intervention Projects in every local authority area because every area has families that need support.” But Shadow Home Secretary Chris Grayling said: “This is all much too little, much too late. “This Government has been in power for more than a decade during which time anti-social behaviour, family breakdown and problems like alcohol abuse and truancy have just got worse and worse.” Mr Balls also said responsible parents who make sure their children behave in school will get new rights to complain about those who allow their children to disrupt lessons. Pupils and their families will have to sign behaviour contracts known as Home School Agreements before the start of every year, which will set out parents’ duties to ensure children behave and do their homework. The updated Youth Crime Action Plan also called for a crackdown on violent girl gangs as well as drug and alcohol abuse among young women. But a decision to give ministers new powers to intervene with failing local authority Youth Offending Teams was criticised by council leaders. Les Lawrence, of the Local Government Association, said they did “crucial” work and such intervention was “completely unnecessary”. =============================================== http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1201462/Thousands-Englands-worst-families-placed-sin-bins-improve-behaviour.html Thousands of England's worst families to be placed in 'sin bins' to improve behaviour By Daily Mail Reporter Last updated at 5:15 PM on 22nd July 2009 Families will be given intensive 24-hour supervision to make sure children attend school, go to bed on time and eat proper meals More than 20,000 of the worst families in England are to be placed in Government 'sin bin' care to improve their behaviour. Yobbish families who refuse State help in raising their children face being made to give up their home - though they are still likely to be re-housed elsewhere. The Government has decided that focussing on the country's most disruptive families - many of them beset by domestic violence - is the key to tackling youth crime. Under the so-called Family Intervention Projects, they will be given intensive 24-hour supervision to make sure children attend school, go to bed on time and eat proper meals. Parents are also given help to stop them leading dysfunctional lives and to combat drug or alcohol addiction. Around 2,000 families have gone through the projects already, but ministers intend to increase its scope to 20,000 more in the next two years - each costing between £5,000 and £20,000. The projects are operating in around half of all council areas, but Children's Secretary Ed Balls said he wanted every local authority to fund them. Councils were today sent letters by Mr Balls and Home Secretary Alan Johnson demanding they all take part. Mr Balls said: 'This is pretty tough and non-negotiable support for families to get to the root of the problem.' He added: 'The families know that if they don't use this support they could risk losing their home, go to court, prison or youth custody.' In most cases, families will be placed under round-the-clock supervision in their own home. But in extreme cases, they are moved into residential blocks, dubbed 'sin bins'. Some families will be made to move home, in order to make a 'fresh start'. Others are threatened that - if they do not take part - they will lose the tenancy on their social housing. ====================================== http://www.techradar.com/news/world-of-tech/government-wants-more-cctv-cameras-in-homes-622368 The UK Government's Children's Secretary Ed Balls has announced a controversial new CCTV monitoring scheme, in which thousands of problem families are to be monitored 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Balls claims that the £400 million "sin bin" scheme will put up to 20,000 problem families under 24-hour surveillance in their own homes, to ensure children go to bed and school on time and eat proper meals. "Private security guards will also be sent round to carry out home checks, while parents will be given help to combat drug and alcohol addiction," reads a report in the Sunday Express. Family Intervention Projects Mr Balls wants every local authority to fund such 'Family Intervention Projects', noting that: "This is pretty tough and non-negotiable support for families to get to the root of the problem. "There should be Family Intervention Projects in every local authority area because every area has families that need support." Pupils and their families will have to sign 'Home School Agreements' which set out parents' duties to make sure their kids attend school. However, privacy campaigners are already up in arms over the latest government plans to install surveillance tech within people's homes.
