So is your understanding of genetics
I'm not sure this thread could take a tangent into genetic theory, but entertaining your response for a second, are you saying that all behaviour is learnt, rather than inherited?

POSTED 2 SECONDS AGO # REPORT-POST

Nope.

Two things here.

Firstly to think of genetic inheritance as 'memory' isn't ideal as it implies some kind of cognitive element, which it isn't. Genetics can predispose us to many things, mind.

Secondly (and if I'm being honest, more to the point) I fancied trying to get a bit of a bite.......

This may be more to do with learned behavior, though. 😉

to be fair, I think celebrating anyone being burned alive and celebrating people bombing other people is pretty horrific.

It could be argued that celebrating a man being hung up on a cross by having nails hammered through his wrists and ankles is pretty horrific as well...
Religion and politics do funny things to people.

HE WASN’T BURNT AT THE STAKE. He was hung, drawn and quartered. I want to know why we are burning an effigy of a Catholic when we should be ritually disembowelling it instead. That’s what really boils my pee!!!

From a factual perspective, I'd say there's a much greater likelihood of pee being boiled whilst you're burned at the stake. If you were simply disemboweled, presumably it would just run out all over the floor.

They always miss out the bit where your gentleman's package is sliced off and burnt before your eyes

If it happens to me I hope it's not done on a cold day.

Don't think I could stand the laughter. I'd die of shame. No bad thing, possibly.

Is that a spoonerism?

This is STW - surely it's a sporkerism

They don't celebrate that - they mourn that and celebrate the fact he came back to life afterwards.
