Am I related to the first British inhabitants?
My friend who’s studying anthropology seems to think that me being very pale, dark haired and grey eyed (very pale blue with a bright orange ring around the iris) is an indication that I’m genetically related to the first recorded Britons (Black Irish). Is this true? Who were these people? Do you know people with these features?

Short of either tracing your family history back that far or DNA profiling there’s no way to know.

As far as I’m aware, the ‘original’ inhabitants of the British Isles were the picts, who were here before the Celts. The term ‘black Irish’ normally means those Irish who were descended from the Spanish Armada who were shipwrecked and ended up living in Ireland.

Not necessarily. I am very pale, dark haired, with the eyes you described and I have no knowledge of being related to the first Britons.

The first humans came to Britain 500,000 years ago, so it is unlikely you are related to them. The Black Irish get their name from (possibly) from their hair or eye coloring.
Actually, the only way to know your heritage is to do the research.

There are lots of people here in MN with your coloring and their ancestors came from several countries in Europe.

Your eyes sound unusual no matter where your ancestors came from!
The ancestors of a large amount modern native British and irish people do seem to have come from northern Spain in migrations beginning post ice age and carry on through the neolithic, with other groups coming in from central Europe. They had ‘Medietteranean’ type skulls (long) and probably were dark haired.
This type is particularly common in western ireland, where even black hair is frequently found (with not only pale skin but even olive skin,and dark eyes too) and this is also where dna testing has shown the most ‘aboriginal’ genes. The ‘Armada’ thing is just a myth to explain all the dark-haired people; in fact probably less than 100 men probably reached Irish shores. However, it may be a folk memory of people coming from that direction, and Spain is in fact mentioned as a place of ancestors in Irish mythology.

‘The first recorded Britons’ would be very hard to tie down. Stone-Age hunter gatherers, the mystical beings of Irish creation-myth, or the inhabitants of Rome’s new province of Britannia? Take your pick. Its probably easier to accept that people across Europe share your colouring, and without further investigation you could be related to any of these.

Wow! Read some books. The first recorded "Britons" were the Palaeolithic, the Mesolithic, then the Neolithic people, followed by the Beaker People. No where in any of the histories, anthropology, or archaeology, or DNA traces has there ever been a mention of "Black Irish". See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prehistoric _settlement_of_the_British_Isles or a good history book. The Beaker People are the first to be identified as a unique people with culture, etc.

For "Black Irish", see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Irish

Since the "Black Irish" refers to haircolor, there is no way to know if they were first on the island or not; that does not show up in DNA. However, it is known that peoples settled in England BEFORE they did in Ireland (or Scotland).

For more on early inhabitants, see: http://web.udl.es/usuaris/m0163949/prehi sto.htm

The concept of "Black Irish" is mainly fictional. There is DNA evidence (matched by early histories) that the Celts came from the Iberian Penninsula; but for the records, those peoples are the ones who brought redhair to the Irish, originanting in the Baltic/Italian penninsula area.

Middle name vs first name?
I was reading through the questions, and I became quite curious. I noticed I would ‘ugh’ at a few of the names suggested, but upon considering them further I realised I was actually ‘ugh’ing at the position it held.

Is there some unwritten code you follow within yourself which determines what names are placed where? For an example, off the top of my head, can you give your opinions on how you feel about the names position (in laemans terms, should it be first/middle or OK for either:

Amelia Rose vs Rose Amelia
Lilah Grace vs Grace Lilah
Georgia Paige vs Paige Georgia
Esme Ruby vs Ruby Esme
Eliza Kate vs Kate Eliza

I think I just pick the ones that flow better.

This song is about innoncent childrens who were borned just to become soldiers.

Many years of war, persecuted and scorned
Behind enemy lines, small child’s are born
What will they live for, fighting for the rest of their life
Gunshots to chemical bomb or sliced with a knife
Shrapnel visable within flesh, children’s poisoned to death
There will be nothing left, but don’t call this America’s mess, yet
Teams of fathers and sons, defend the campground with no ease
At least I am alive, able to breathe, no time to bow down to the decease
The contract has been cracked, you split up or attack
We are dying with out a track, we just want to fight back
For survival reasons, and praying to God to find the meaning
Don’t call this a treason, for the will to keep breathing
These jungles are our prison, scarred into our visions
Now I want you to listen, cause the people are on a survival mission
Starving for meal, it must be kept it conceal
Blood spills all over the abandon fields

Why does lunar eclipse often occur on full moon night?
i wanna know pls tell fast….i wud be glad too get many answers…and ur explanations!!..thnx..XD

---

A lunar eclipse can only occur on a full moon night.

You see, a Lunar eclipse happens when the earths shadow is cast on the moon.

The moon is constantly revolving around the earth. The different phases of the moon happen because of this revolution. If you would look down on the earth, sun, and moon. You would see easily why we have phases.

For example, if you orient the earth, so that it ALWAYS faces the sun, and rotate the moon around the earth. You would see that when the moon is on the left or right side of the earth, we would have half moons. When it is in front of the earth, we have a new moon, and when it is behind the earth we have a full moon. The dark side of the moon isn’t the earths shadow, it is basically where the suns light won’t hit, because it is blocked by the rest of the moon.

Since the only time the moon is behind the earth is a full moon, it is the only way to have a lunar eclipse.

IDEVILMANI | Dec 31, 2009

Because the Earth wouldn’t cast a shadow across the moon if it wasn’t directly between the moon and sun. And when it is, that’s when we see a full moon. Think about it.
Max Headroom | Dec 31, 2009

---

Because the moon is in the other side of the Earth O<– sun o<– Earth O<– Moon the sun its projecting a full light to the moon and its full moon at the same time lunar eclipse
Kevin | Dec 31, 2009

---

We see the eclipse of the moon at night because we are on the dark side of the earth at that time. We are looking at a full moon shining sunlight directly back at us until the moon enters the shadow of the earth and is eclipsed. A full shadow is an umbra and a partial shadow is a penumbra (similar to peninsular or almost an island!).
Kes | Dec 31, 2009

Sometimes the moon in it’s orbit around the Earth strays too close to Draco the Dragon and the dragon eats the moon. The red looking blob is the moon inside the dragon’s mouth shinning through the dragons lips and cheeks colored by the dragon’s mouth.

A good way to say how this happens is to stand in front of a mirror in a dark room and stick a flashlight into your mouth.

The moon that looks like a cantaloupe doesn’t really taste very good. So the dragon always spits it out.

Can someone provide an argument against voluntary euthanasia for the terminally ill without mentioning God?
The debate about assisted suicide has been in the news a lot recently and every time the opposition is some cardinal or rabbi (why they should get a say in the matter is beyond me) and i’ve yet to hear an argument against that does not possess an explicit or implicit religious slant. Can someone give a logically consistent, secular argument against ?

btw i am in favour of assisted suicide i think its up to that person, i’m just interested to see what the arguments against it are

---

I am for it too. I hear people say we should not make that decision for someone else, but I am talking, as I suppose you are, about people asking for themselves. The argument is generally, the health may improve. He may come out of the coma. At a certain age and with certain illnesses, this isn’t likely, but shouldn’t I be able to decide what I want to do with my life, or when and how I wish to die?
By the way, I am a Christian, so you are aware that I know all of the God-arguments.
We are very quick to put an animal "out of its misery", but we think it wrong to give that same gift to a human.

There was a time when people were creative with their suicides. Like skydiving without pulling the parachute. That one sounds fun, and death would be instantaneous. When fun, interesting suicides exist, why waste the time of a doctor?

Interesting. I’m in favor of voluntary euthanasia, but I’ll try.

Were voluntary euthanasia to become popular, it would reduce the number of health professionals and support staff necessary in society, thereby removing a sector of job growth and damaging the economy.

the passenger | Sep 01, 2009

---

A non-religious argument would be "where do you draw the line?" How do you decide in which cases euthanasia should be permitted? There is a danger that people might be killed if they don’t want to be if it is left up to doctors, and another danger that people could just choose to die if they want to if the boundaries become wider and wider. This then acts upon the definitions of murder and suicide. Unless the circumstances under which euthanasia is permitted are tight and strictly regulated, numerous logical and legal problems might arise. The easiest way out is to just ban it completely.

I don’t necessarily agree with this, but I put it forward as a possible non-religious argument.

The Robot Devil | Sep 01, 2009

---

Theoretically, it could be abused. The family of a terminally ill person might persuade their sick relative to end it all I suppose it’s possible some opponents of assisted suicide fear that the person deciding to commit suicide might not be terminal (yet), may not be in pain that cannot be alleviated, and may not have exhausted every option to alleviate suffering.

I still believe that it should be up to the patient and his/her doctor, but I could give an argument against it without bringing in the religious slant.

Things that are sold are supposed to be things of value. Death is the negation of the ability to obtain things of value. Therefore, those who sell death are not selling something of value. Thus, it is not a proper service, and must be prohibited.

"Assisted suicide" is a euphemism for murder. Would you favor a law on the books stating that it is acceptable to murder someone if they ask you to??
PaulCyp | Sep 01, 2009

No, It can not be done.

Nobody can make an absolute and logical argument, apart from God, for or against any type of behavior.

If there is not an absolute and transcendent moral law, then there is no basis for arguing the rightness or wrongness of any behavior.
Basically what you have is a free for all. Or the next best thing you could possibly argue is a level of morality that is based either on popular demand, will of the mighty, or whatever you can personally get away with.

This would include each and any behavior under the sun. For instance, could you "provide an argument against public masturbation without mentioning God?"
I don’t think it can be done on an absolute basis. Why is up to you, (and why you should get a say in the matter is beyond me) to say that I cannot do with my own body whatever I want. If you don’t like it, look away. You do not get upset if I rub a sore muscle. You do not get upset if I blow my nose. You do not get upset if someone looks at a child playing on a swing set and smiles because they well up with a feeling of love and affection for the innocents of youth.
So, apart from an absolute moral law that says it is a total abomination to do certain things with certain intentions in the heart and mind, how can you argue that public masturbation in parks by sexually stimulated people is wrong?

I will check back for your answer. I thank you in advance for your well thought out answer.

I am a Christian. I am not against voluntary euthanasia for the terminally ill. I do worry that like everything else in life that it will be misused to dispose of people society doesn’t like, the mentally ill, the elderly etc. I see visions of Huxley’s books.
PROBLEM JPAS A.R.T. | Sep 01, 2009

---

Well, since I am a Christian and a Christian worldview effects every part of my life, this will be difficult, but I’ll give it a shot.

I think it would boil down to this; does human life have an intrinsic value, or an imputed one.

If human life has an imputed value, meaning it is valuable only to the extent someone considers it valuable, then euthanasia would be a viable option. However, I would be opposed to this since it also would allow any kind of mass murder as well. If a person, or a group, or a political party were to determine that another person, group, or political party had no value, then it would be fine to kill them. This was a big part of eugencs, which said that certain people (blacks and the mentally retarded), did not deserve to reproduce and would be less of a burden on society if they ceased to exist. This was also part of Hitlers Final Solution, wherein he determined that Jews had no value and thus can and should be killed. This is the basis for most pro-choice positions that determine an unborn life has no value and the basis for those who consider the handicapped, comatose, and any child under the age of 28 days to not be human and instead a burden on society.

On the other hand, if human life has an intrinsic value, if it is valuable simply because it is human life, then this changes. Since the imputed position is so distainful and leads to so much death and unintended consequences, the only logical position that would allow us to keep a civil society is to assume that human life has intrinsic value. This would have to be an absolute truth, regardless of ones physical or mental condition because the instant you allow the death of any one classification of human beings, you are then in the imputed camp with you determining who has the right to live and who does not.
Tim | Sep 01, 2009

Sometimes the patient is not in their right mind. I don’t think we should let a person die because they are experiencing terrible pain that is only temporary. For example a child seriously hurts him/herself and screams "I wanna die" I don’t think that the child should be listened to as the condition is likely not life threatening. Same goes for older people. Some people have a real problem with pain and say things they think they mean and at the time they might but they wouldn’t if they knew what was ahead. Also there would be a lot of lawsuits by families because of wrongful death because there would be cases in which the patient would make a full recovery. Also the system could be abused way too easily. If a doctor had something against someone he could say that the person told him to do it. I know that there are arguments against this but there are counter arguments against that as well which I am too lazy right now to post. I think it is a bad idea. I really don’t want my life thrown away because sometime I might be in a lot of pain and feel like dying. This is a totally secular argument.
