Silly, that is what loose lips do.

I think its a wartime slogan like 'loose talk costs lives'.

Its supposed to mean you shouldnt tell anyone information about military movements you know about in case the enemy hears about it.

 

[Thorvald of Lym]

I once saw a poster that was the best example of this. It went something like this:

The soldier told his sweetheart (all about the troop train)
The sweetheart told her father
The father talked at his club (where a spy overheard)
The spy instructed the saboteur
The saboteur wrecked the train

Just because no one actually came out and say it, the slogan was: Loose lips sink ships...

First set of quotes

So are you really going for Baron, or did you settle for Lord or simply Sir?

Who knows, id make the choice once i was happy i was buying a legally binding title that would pass down the generations.

Anything else is pointless to me.


I don't trust the websites.. the prices vary soo much.. from £100 to several thousand.

Eh, I was Kaiser of a nation. Can't get higher nobility than that.

I'm from noble stock. Bow down, mortals.

I have a particle in my last name. So YOU bow, noncon.

Me and Perfection divorced.

Wow. Who gets the kid?

fifty? CivGeneral does.

He can't handle the brat without a wife!

Man, I don't want to ride a freaking train everyday. I love to drive and won't abandon it.

Americas response to the last polar bear, clinging to the last bit of ice in the Arctic:

A note: a human is not actually sacrificed. I used that title just to gain attention.

The PurushaMedha is a ritual whereby the process of creation described in the RigVeda, in the Purusha Sukta, is re-enacted. The creation story is that in the beginning there was only consciousness, it split into various parts, and one part of it was "sacrificed" by another in order to form the universe. The sacrifice is described in some detail in the Purusha Sukta.

The ritual is a fire ritual - it involves priests chanting mantras while sitting around a fire-altar, offering oblations to the fire. All the details of how the altar is constructed and what the ritual procedure is are described minutely in the YajurVeda and the correspondent Brahmana. The "victim" is, for a brief while, tied to the sacrificial post, and is released at the end, after the ritual is over.

My question is - would you be uncomfortable if such a ritual were to be performed in your city or your neighbourhood?

Yes, I hate fake human sacrifices. I'm all about authenticity.

I do not mind the ritual. I resent your fake title.

It's not fake! This is the way the Purusha Medha has been conducted since Vedic times.

If you're going to do it a second time, you better have room for me to bring my lawn-chair so I can watch. And don't look at me funny if I bring beer.

I'll bring the marshmallows.

Bah! Alcohol is for the weak! Bring Soma, if you really want to enjoy the full flavour of the ritual.

Be sure to give some to the priests.

Hey, I'm all in favor of tying people to posts, as long as it is safe, sane and consensual...

Fire rituals can only be done during the day, in the open, away from disturbances, and away from temples and dense human habitation. So all those conditions are met by the orthodox rules, anyway.

@ IglooDude

Yes, the "victim" is obviously one who has agreed to act that role.

Ancient fakery is still fakery.

You don't expect them to actually sacrifice a human, do you?

Heh, at least our disturbing rituals are done indoors . . .

If they're gonna call it a "human sacrifice" it damn well better be one. If not they should just call it "playing with fire" or "dancing around in crazy costumes"

Because the neighbors might not like your ritual feasts of roast puppies and virgins' blood.

Yeah, this way they can't object right?

I object to this.

THis should not be allowed unless it is done for real. A human must be sacrificed for this to be legitamate. What a letdown....how can you go part way and not finish it? burn the human!

Where is the line between commitment and cheating?

If your partner would be signifigantly upset if (s)he knew it happened, it's cheating. It's different with every couple.

If you have to ask...

...it's probably cheating.

It's not about what specific action, it's about betrayal of trust and breaching what is expected. There are no rules that work for all relationships.

Here on earth, we have this thing called time zones, which means that the time it is for some people is not always the same as the time it is for other people who are in other parts of the world. I, for example, am on the west coast of the United States, where it is currently 8:43 AM.

Wow, a thread on an internet forum discussing the weather. The perfect marriage of the geeky and the banal.

What a stereotype! It doesn't rain all day in England. Sometimes it snows.

And it doesn"t rain that often either. Onlye 3 times a year. Once during 6 months, and twice during 3 months.

I went into Denny's the other day, and a cockroach ran across my table. I was about to smack it with my newspaper, but it stopped and said, "No, no! I am the manager!"

Are PS3's preloaded with Folding or something?

It's probably their best game right now.

Questions mostly for teenage girls:

On average, how many seconds a day do girls shut up when awake?

In fractions or decimals?

She was on CSPAN just now. She's very attractive. How could anyone vote for Sarkozy, he looks like a strategically shaved fruitbat.

If trees could scream, we'd chop a lot more of them down ... just to shut them up.

Jesus: Hey, gimme a fig
Tree: It's not the season you dolt.
Jesus: Die!
Tree: Fascist!

In Russia, nature reserves you.

Russia weathers you?

Kinda interesting. Did it work?

Imagine that, it would be raining catdogs!

Anybody got some helpful hints? I haven't really figured it out yet.

I really raised an eyebrow before I used my translator.

I don't mean to derail this, but I have to address about the "perfection" <-> "she" comments. I always thought Perf was a guy . If I have been wrong about this all this time, my sincerest apologies to Perfection for the incorrect assumption.

The is so much government pork in our highways that you would think they are trying to discourage Muslims from driving on them.

Will you go out with me?

Spoiler :

<snip>

As i am a Lord,and you a mere peasant i will choose a pistol, you will use a spoon.

Nothing is going to keep me from scooping that beauty from you.

Why is it that you physicists always require so much expensive equipment? Now the Department of Mathematics requires nothing but money for paper, pencils, and erasers...and the Department of Philosophy is better still. It doesn't even ask for erasers.

The difference between religion, politics etc. and science is that outside of science, you never hear someone saying "Hmm, you're right. You've put forward a strong argument and proven me wrong."

In Russia we only had two TV channels. Channel One was propaganda. Channel Two consisted of a KGB officer telling you: Turn back at once to Channel One.
