If idle hands are the devil's something, then busy hands must be something godly I presume... where does god stand on people busying their hands with murdering people?

^complete question^


'Idle hands are the devils tools' or 'the devil finds work for idle hands to do' are different versions of the same proverb that's been around since the time of Chaucer in the 12th century. There doesn't seem to be a 'busy hands are Godly' and 'though shalt not kill' is one of the 10 commandments & Christianity tends to take them more literally than some other religions. The Qur'an takes a slightly different line on it:

"Fight in the cause of God those who fight you, but do not transgress limits; for God loves not transgressors. And slay them wherever you catch them, and turn them out from where they have turned you out; for tumult and oppression are worse than slaughter... But if they cease, God is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful... If they cease, let there be no hostility except to those who practice oppression" (2:190-193).

There is no almighty God in Buddhism. Buddhism does not call for an unquestionable blind faith by all Buddhist followers. It places heavy emphasis on self-reliance, self discipline and individual striving. The ultimate objective of followers is enlightenment and liberation from Samsara; rather than to go to a Heaven.
There is no holy war concept. Killing is breaking a key moral precept in Buddhism. One is strictly forbidden to kill another person. Maitri or Metta in Pali (Loving Kindness) and Karuna (Compassion) to all living beings including animals are most important. Buddhism strictly forbids animal sacrifice for whatever reason. Vegetarianism is recommended but not compulsory.

In the case of murder, the Torah carefully chose a word different from “kill.” Only murder is prohibited, not generic killing. Murder is a passionate act, while killing is a thing of necessity or justice. There are no restrictions on killing enemies and criminals. Like the rest of the Ten Commandments, the prohibition of (passionate) murder only applies in the Jewish environment.

So that's the opinions of four of the main religions as far as I can tell, they all differ slightly & I suppose it'd depend on which one you went for as to whether you'd get away with it or not. This is only in the eyes of the Gods though...the long arm of the law takes an entirely different stance on it of course.

How do they know how babies tongues work to breastfeed - positioning of nipple inside the mouth etc? Have they done fancy camera stuff or something?

I'm pretty crap at these questions really! Who would have thought I'd be stumped by these & not the space telescope ones!! (might just be out of practice though)I feel uncomfy at the thought that I'm more of a geek than a mum!!

Well, I presume babies kinda squeeze the nipple on the roof of their mouths & that's why it's better if it's pointing upwards & the tongue kinda curls round it? I did watch a program once that said the ability to suck properly gets lost after a certain age. When you feed babies & they pull off quick, you can see they have rolled tongues but I haven't really thought about this much beyond that. I couldn't find any evidence of them using cameras for research anywhere...think it's just one of those 'known' things lol.
Babies know their mums by smell as soon as they're born apparently as well....some things are just amazing. When babies are born the blood in the mums body coagulates as well, so the placenta can break away from the womb & the mum doesn't bleed to death (as long as she isn't anemic of course)....how does it know to do all this weird stuff?? Babies cry & it is tuned into the mums hearing & she's the one it effects most! I find the whole thing fascinating but have decided not to have any more babies. I go through phases & at the moment I don't think it'd be good idea ....I expect I'll change my mind again soon though! I see babies & my clock ticks VERY loudly & screams 'I WANT ONE' at me constantly for a couple of days lol. I have no idea why I get so broody! I really can't stand being pregnant...REALLY can't stand it & the thought of breastfeeding leaves me in a cold sweat...the blisters! OUCH!! So it must just be the body clock....

A naked blond walks into a bar, with a poodle under one arm and a two foot salami under the other. She lays the poodle on the table. Bar-tender says:

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^The whole question^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

'You're right, how do you think I got in this mess in the first place!'

or

'Of course I do, this salami's never gonna fit otherwise!'

or

'Funny, that's what the poodle thought too...'

or

'After the night I've had I need a double!'

or

'Forgot my pencil'

I have no idea how this joke actually finishes, apparently, it was an add lib by Judd Nelsons character 'Bender'& has an ending only he knows! The film came out in 1985 & everyone who's seen the film since then has been dying to know. The ones above are the only ones I could find but none of them are very good....maybe the joke is just better than the punchline & if it ever got out it'd be a bit of a letdown?



Couldn't find a clip of the joke :(
