Women and children first, OM. First law of chivalry. HTH.

That might make sense now, but I have often thought that in the past it
would have meant the husband/father dying and his dependents finding
themselves destitute.


Perhaps, but I think it has an explanation if you consider biology; the
genetic imperative demands that a person's (the man's) offspring are
protected and nurtured well enough by them to ensure the continuation of
the genetic line, so "women and children first" and a husband sacrificing
himself to save them makes sense in that regard.


Interesting choice of words.

Where does that leave those who aren't married?

where you leave people who aren't married or have sprogs....nowhere in your
often stated opinion

That line cant really fly given that if the wife and brats dont
survive, the male can just get another wife and produce more
brats and continue the line that way. The wife and brats without
the male arent likely to be able to survive without him.

What matters isnt married but producing brats.

BTW, nature makes a nonsense of your claim. The natural
world is peppered with examples of the female being the
protector or the offspring being simply left to get of with it.


The latter only with species that produce vast numbers of brats.

In other words, biology has nothing to do with it. The women and children
first concept comes from the kind of values you spend your time
rubbishing.

Is it really necessary to ask such a question ?

Children with cancer or any other serious illness always
attract the greatest sympathy as they stand to lose far
more years of life than do adults. They never get the chance
to fulfil their potential or conversley to chance to
show that they never really had any to start with.

If Corbyn wasn't completely gormless he would right now be
asking for categorical guarentees from both Johnson and Gove
that no child with cancer will die as a result of a
shortage of medication following a No Deal Brexit.

No if or buts but a straightforward guarentee.


Completely silly. No one can every guarantee
that no child with cancer will never die and
when one does, its never going to be possible
to know what killed them.


And do you honestly think such niceties and fine distinctions
i.e "the truth" will be the main concern of "Sun", "Star",
"Express" or "Daily Mail" readers when Corbyn's question and
the politicians "obvious" evasions of the question make
front page news ?

Kiddies, cancer, cover-ups, if you're a journalist or the Leader
of Her Majesties Opposition, what's not to like ?

You really are quite gormless. But in responding to your posts
occasionally I see myself as explaining things to the sort of
gormless person you seem to represent. And who might otherwise
be still in the dark.

You're not a distant relative of Jeremy Corbyn by any chance
are you ?

Not really.

Codes of chivalry originated as codes of conduct for knights from the
12 century onwards. And only ever applied to knights and nobles.
At that time most well born female offspring were married off
at the age of 12 or 13. These were all financial arrangements
so as to keep family lines going. Sometimes the groom and bride
first met at the alter. *Such marriages might not be consummated for
years (which has been the source of some confusion later on re
ages of consent etc).

So not too dissimilar to the arranged marriages still common
in some cultures.

A big component in chivalry was the idea of "Courtly Love" - knights
composing romantic songs and poems to beautiful maidens. The
only problem with this was that the beautiful maidens to whom
such songs were addressed were often of necessity already
the wives of other knights

Another component of chivalry was the conduct of knights on the
battlefield. This was a set of rules that when fighting other knights on
the battlefield all fights were conducted with honour with no cheating
and knights didn't kill each other needlessly but took each other
prisoner and held each other to ransom or for subsequent exchange.
It also meant that knights thus taken prisoner didn't try and escape
on their honour (unlike modern POW's) and so often lived in the
relative luxury to which they were accustomed until their rellies
picked up the tab.

Chivalry only ever applied to knights.It certainly didn't apply to
the peasantry who were simply sword fodder on the battlefield and a
source of rent at home. So that when capturing besieged towns which
had refused to surrender it was not unknown for all the inhabitants,
men women, children and the infirm to be put to the sword or at least
to the club. While all the knights stayed in their tents outside
toasting one another or writing love poems to each others wives.

And similar considerations obviously applied to heathens with no
conception of Christianity let alone chivalry.

Quite how this evolved to the modern conception of chivalry is
another matter.

But the logic is that to sire a new line with a replacement woman requires
a huge investment of energy and resources, not to mention time, whereas
doing what you can to ensure the survival of the existing wife and child
both saves that and also protects the energy and resources already invested
into them, if you see what I mean.

You don't work in Corbyn's Press Office by any chance ?


Try bringing it up with the person who thinks children deserve treatment
ahead of others.


I now strongly suspect that you're trolling but I'll give it one more
try.

It appears that there are many people who are quite content
with the idea of a No Deal Brexit.

In order to convince such people (leaving aside child haters
of whom there appear to be more than I may have imagined)
that a No Deal Brexit is a bad idea, and to create the biggest
impact is it better to claim that

a) Thousands of innocent children may well die as a result

b) Thousands of people of all ages may well die as a result

In other words who would want to be potentially responsible
for the deaths of thousands of innocent children ?

Thats bull**** too, just a bit of ****ing which many
do even when the first ones havent died. Boris has

whereas doing what you can to ensure the survival

But dying before them means they will die anyway, just later.

and also protects the energy and resources already
invested into them, if you see what I mean.


Not when they die anyway when the breadwinner is gone.

That line cant really fly given that if the wife and brats don't
survive, the male can just get another wife and produce more
brats and continue the line that way. The wife and brats without
the male arent likely to be able to survive without him.

but it would be best for them to cast off a headcase like cole .....

Thats very arguable. Its the head cases that change the world.


for the worse ....


Not necessarily. Tesla was a head case and changed the world for the
better.

Does that mean they'll be a shortage of salt in my local chippie ?


Nope, they dont make salt that way.

Trying to use children with cancer as political ammunition
is beneath
contempt Steve.

I'm in favour of children with cancer having an unbroken
supply of
medication. Why aren't you, Brian?

Just children, then? Other cancer patients don't matter?


Women and children first, OM. First law of chivalry. HTH.

That might make sense now, but I have often thought that in the
past it
would have meant the husband/father dying and his dependents
finding
themselves destitute.

Perhaps, but I think it has an explanation if you consider
biology; the
genetic imperative demands that a person's (the man's) offspring
are
protected and nurtured well enough by them to ensure the
continuation of
the genetic line, so "women and children first" and a husband
sacrificing
himself to save them makes sense in that regard.

That line cant really fly given that if the wife and brats don't
survive, the male can just get another wife and produce more
brats and continue the line that way. The wife and brats without
the male arent likely to be able to survive without him.

but it would be best for them to cast off a headcase like cole
.....

Thats very arguable. Its the head cases that change the world.

for the worse ....

Not necessarily. Tesla was a head case and changed the world for the
better.

he won't last long

Nikola Tesla did, 90 years in fact.


sorry I thought you meant that Musk bloke...


Yeah, that was obvious.

did tesla not die pennyless?......


Yes, but he did change the world for the better.


yes he was brilliant much better than Edison etc...shame he wasted all his
money and died penniless in a hotel I think....


"Yep
