Wonderings, ramblings, and chatter of a sometimes pissed, sometimes cheery chick
Published on April 12, 2004 By lone maiden In Politics
As we all know, there has been a lot of controversy lately over whether American states should gives gays and lesbians the right to marry, adopt, etc. George Dubya Bush strongly accepts the idea of there being a new law in the Constitution, one that states that the only marriage acceptable is between man and woman. Not a good idea, Mr. President. Now the gays and lesbians of the community refuse to vote for you.

Anyways, Mr. President says that it violates the "sacred covenant with God" (Galatians). Maybe for you, but not for me. It would be a commitment between me and my partner. Isn't there a strict law not to combine church with government anyways? The atheists, anarchists, agnostics wouldn't like that...

"It's a threat to marriage" Who's? Not mine, or yours for that matter.

"Homosexuality is unnatural" I don't think so.. Many scientists have found homosexual behavior throughout the animal kingdom. Ever heard of lesbian seagulls?

Bottom line- To those religious people out there: why not hate the sin, not the sinner? I would have thought that a religious president such as Bush would have opened that moral up already. For didn't Jesus himself say it?

James VI was begged by the people of England to become the king when the English rulers had all died

Spelt is the past tense of spell. You obviously are very stupid because 'spelled' is the incorrect form. I suggest you consult a dictionary.

Thank goodness I am English, thank goodness England was the centre of the greatest Empire the world has ever known. FOR ENGLAND AND SAINT GEORGE!

Allow me to quote:

spelt:
A hardy wheat grown mostly in Europe.

Is that what you meant? That Stuart is a kind of hardy wheat?

or perhaps you meant:

Spell:

To name or write in order the letters constituting (a word or part of a word).
To constitute the letters of (a word): These letters spell animal.
To add up to; signify: Their unwise investment could spell financial ruin.

v. spelled spellĀ·ing, spells

Thank Goodness the English Empire crashed and burned under the ponderous weight of it's own incompetence.

By the way, that's from the Fourth Edition of the American Heritage Dictionary.

Perhaps you are consulting an American-English dictionary. British linguists know that Americans simplify everything bacause they are stupid. God Bless England!

The proper way to use Spelt in the sense that you wanted to use it, is if you were using the past participle, you weren't, so it's incorrect, I realize your stiff upper lip makes it difficult to admit you're wrong, but no one will think less of you.

Absolutely not, we have established that you are using American-English which is an insult to everything our language stands for.

The colour of the harbour is in favour.

Spell like an Englishman or be gone with you.

For England and Saint George!

The only defintion I could find in my dictionaries which equated spelt to the way you used it was:

1. To tell; to relate; to teach. [Obs.]

Might I that legend find, By fairies spelt in mystic rhymes. --T. Warton

Now, if you were relating the word, you are correct, however, I am not incorrect because if you were Spelling the word, it's spelled.

Besides, James VI is a scottish King.

Need I remind you what you British do to your own kings, say what was done by one Oliver Cromwell? Or what about the War of the Roses?

Cheers

The truely ironic thing is of course, when you kicked out Oliver's little family you went and put in another Scottish King, and then, during your Glorious Revolution, you went and kicked out one Scottish Monarch and put in another one.

Sure, you English definitely haven't been relying on the Scots to "stiffen the royal breed"

Let us also not forget that the Wars of the Roses brought us the great Tudor dynasty, a lineage nearly as great as my own. It could also be said that the Scots were still killing each other when England was a formed state.
on Apr 12, 2004
Nearly as great as your own? Assuming you are the real Sir Peter Maxwell, you did what, got bopped on the shoulders by the queen with a sword? That makes your lineage great? I can trace my family back 1500 years, I'm related to last Archduke of Finland, the Romanovs, three of the last Earls of the Realm of Scotland, which, though much more difficult to prove, means I'm related to the Stuarts, which makes me a very distant cousins of the current queen of England.

Which just goes to show that some History professor in Oregon can have just as prestigious a lineage through blind chance as a knight of the realm of England.

I have met many peasants online who claim to be "noble" and Royal. Isn't it funny how I keep meeting these people that are related to the various European Royal houses. Why not say you are a Hapsburg too, go on, just for fun.
