Werk Harder, Bitchiz

[The New Holliday]

A couple of posters have objected to my post stating that primitive man (hunter gatherers) had more leisure time than modern man.
.. I found their lack of knowledge and understanding shocking...only not really.
That statement was backed by the understanding of archeologists and anthropologists, not simply my own musings on the subject.
. Hunter gatherers are believed to have worked on average about 15-20 hours per week versus the modern standard of 40, which is a target while the reality is often a longer work week.

..Post the banishing from the Garden of Eden (when man was to sweat and toil for his keep - the Agricultural Revolution) the work week lengthened to 40-60 hours.
Then with the advent of the Industrial Revolution that week grew to 80 hrs and lessened mainly through legislation.
.Today there are many who still toil and sweat for those 80 at 2 or 3 jobs to make ends meet. So civilized are we.

I think this in a way ties in with another posters comments that there is a contradiction or enigma found in Genesis of the Bible, because how could Adam and Eve having been god's only created people encounter other peeples after being tossed out of the Garden?
. I must say I find it curious that people may mock literalists for their fervent interpretations of the Bible, but when they wish to zero in on what seems a contradiction they take the most literalist approach. Could be that those old writers weren't literalists.

I pray that the poster known derisively as Ragey, has the strength of will to work until his 80's before he drops dead and they carry him out feet first.

What does it mean to call one's God the creator of Heaven and Earth, flora and fauna and then somehow there's already evidence of those things out there? Does it mean that this is our own personal delusion and in it, we are the Chosen?

Lay down, my dear sister,
Won't you lay and take your rest?
Won't you lay your head upon your saviour's breast?
And I love you but Jesus loves you the best,
And I bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight,
And I bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight.
One of these mornings bright and early and fine,
Goodnight, goodnight.
Not a cricket, not a spirit going to shout me on,
Goodnight, goodnight.
I go walking in the valley of the shadow of death,
Goodnight, goodnight.
And his rod and his staff shall comfort me,
Goodnight, goodnight.
Oh John, the wine, he saw the sign,
Goodnight, goodnight.
Oh John, say, I seen a number of signs,
Goodnight, goodnight.
Tell A for the ark, that wonderful boat,
Goodnight, goodnight.
You know they built it on the land getting water to float,
Goodnight, goodnight.
Tell B for the beast at the ending of the wood,
Goodnight, goodnight.
You know it ate all the children when they wouldn't be good,
Goodnight, goodnight.
I remember quite well, I remember quite well,
Goodnight, goodnight.
I was walking in Jerusalem just like John,
Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight.
Goodnight, goodnight.
Goodnight, goodnight.
Goodnight, goodnight.

May the long time sun shine upon you,
All love surround you,
And the pure light within you
Guide you all the way on.
May the long time sun shine upon you,
All love surround you,
And the pure light within you
Guide you all the way on.
May the long time sun shine upon you,
All love surround you,
And the pure light within you
Guide you all the way on.
May the long time sun shine upon you,
All love surround you,
And the pure light within you
Guide you all the way on.
