Renton 17858 Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 I read a scientific paper on conicidences once. You have to factor in all the "incidences" together which makes a pretty enormous number. Coinicidences are inevitable, but as usual our pathetic human brains aren't wired to understand this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 30528 Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 (edited) There was a poster you could buy ( I think it also appeared on tea towels too, bizarrely ) sold as a touristy gift in Dallas that listed the coincidences between the JFK and Lincoln assassinations. Varying from the tenuous to the untrue. I’ll see if I can find it Edited November 30, 2023 by Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJS 3986 Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 I've never read his books but CS Lewis was a Christian propagandist so I wouldn't value him too highly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last battle is blatantly islamophobic too. Also, a lot of his stuff was nicked from Tolkein, just "kidified". So yeah, I's agree C.S. Lewis < Jimmy Corkhill, but JFK massively bumps up the '63 deaths and they win on aggegate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 30528 Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 Aslan is Jesus. The Narnians (North European Christians) are the goodies and the Calormen (Middle Eastern Muslims) are the baddies (in at least a couple of the books in the latter case). I did love the books as a kid but even I’d worked that out for myself as 11 or 12 year old on the second or third reading. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Carr's Gloves 3230 Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 46 minutes ago, Alex said: I used to be really fascinated, almost obsessed re: the assassination of JFK. The more I looked into it, the more I became convinced Oswald was almost certainly the lone gunman and wasn’t part of a wider conspiracy. Funny thing about that is all of the credible evidence points to that being the case and hardly anyone (or certainly a minority) believes it. The various conspiracy theories are based on bad science, misinterpretations and (often) downright lies. Yet more people than ever prefer the bullshit. Culminating in the Trump cultists thinking both JFK and his son are still alive and helping Trump fight to save America from something or other. Even if he was still alive he’d be 106 Except for the magic bullet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btw, I remember an edition of the Viz (around the 25th anniversary iirc) which devoted several pages to TRUTH which placed Elvis Presley on the grassy knoll as the second shooter 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get your fucking head out of that text book, learn how to climb, and get over to France and get that wick dipped in continental clunge. Don't fucking worry about the future you fanny 'cos all that bring is angst and anxiety anyway. As sickboy says, 'tomorrow will fucking look after itself'".

Renton 17858 Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 What it is is we're getting to the time period where the boomers are dying out. That's a large cohort but also coincides with the age of celebratory and mass media consumption. This thread is going to grow exponentially in coming years. Then it will just be you tubers and love island cunts dying and I won't care because I'll either not have a scooby who they are or more likely I'll be brown bread myself. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
