The Sun Records Rockabilly Era
June 15, 1955
Elvis performed at the Belden High School Gym, Belden, Mississippi. In order to avoid being mobbed, Elvis had to crawl through a back window. He ripped the seat of his pants, which he had to held together during his performance with a safety pin.

except i played sports, but was never a bully, but they weren’t school sports.
some sports are, mainly the team ones like football, soccer, even baseball to a degree. its the culture most parts of society foist on those who play the sports. i was always taught that it wasnt about winning, but about doing your best, trying to do better when you make a mistake, etc. but i never did football even though my jhs coach wanted me to. only did a bit of basketball (i sucked) and baseball/tball/little league
i did when i was younger, for my mother, she thought my claims were because i had no father in the picture, and it would man me up, lol. later only when i had pe but i took things like ROTC so in HS i didnt have real PE at all. i did take weight training for a year.
Gym Teacher and Social Worker are the lesbian stereotypes for how many decades now?
being a Tomboy was easier than a Sissyboy
Phys Ed was required until grade 11 in British Columbia
and it always bothered me that the academic classes had for everyone and then for the education challenged, whereas, we all had to take the same level of gym class
which only served to make it harder to appreciate sports, when it was the Jocks n Mean Girls revenge for all the academic classes.
I never understood why the adults acted like childhood or teen years were the best years
How horrid to tell youth that life is reduced in value over decades
but I guess that’s why people think Romeo and Juliet is a romance, rather than pretty much every parents nightmare, eh?
I was called a lesbian in high school, because of all the celeb pictures that I put in my locker door there was one Olivia Newton John, so because I had 1 woman among all the Elvis, Duran Duran, Rick Springfield, Brat Packers, I was a dyke to the other students.
in 2018, there is a school board trustee in Chilliwack British Columbia
who is queer bashing, and that is the high school district
where I was first bullied by students, being called a lesbian
in the gym locker room back in the 1980s
and at that school, is where I really started to stand up to bullies
if you can imagine a trashy blonde in a leather jacket (the bully)
vs me in a tweed blazer with leather elbow patches, blue collar shirt and a pale blue tie – I was just before Duran Duran got big and girls started dressing new wave – and wearing a 1940s fedora that my grandfather gave me that had been his.
serious music video fodder/brat pack movie/abs school after school special too.
the leather jacket bully was picking on a girl in a younger grade
she was the youngest of 4 children, all of whom had been school bullies and a reform school family – and had shown up withh 30 12th graders from the only other high school
to beat up one 8th grader
the bully and I were in the 9th grade together
so they were on one side of the playground, just off school grounds
and me and my younger sister – with her friend, the victim on the other
we waited, they taunted verbally
so after 15 mintues, I told the other 2 we were leaving and going back to school grounds – by this time, some students had reported the group sighting and the rumour mill broke the school yard code
but I had no idea that the Vice Principal was on the way
so we left, and the group propelled the bully after the three of us
She pulling off her leather coat to fight, her crowd cheering the bully being the crown of the family’s bully offspring, busting her bully cherry I suppose.
I turned and handed my hat to my sister and my blazer to her friend.
the bully put back on her leather jacket, her crowd too far away
and now the Vice principal arrived, with other students to watch the show
He asked me if he missed the fight.
I said, no, it’s just started.
He dispersed that crowd that day, and there was harassment over the semester oddly, it was the 2 bullies and the victim who were suspended
by the end of the year, which included a fight on the shared schoolbus route and an inside the school fight over 2 floors.

I suggest you read “Did Jesus Exist?: The Historical Argument for Jesus of Nazareth” by the academic and author Bart Ehrman
It might help you to do a little Bible study with a progressive clergy person or academic so that you might learn that the Bible was not intended to be read as history.
The Bible can be read that way but my belief is that you miss the rich spirituality and humanity of the book because like the fundamentalist Christians you take it far too literal.
You say you are an atheist. Can you tell me what you mean by that?
Bart Ehrman concluded there may have been a historical man named Jesus, but the gospels have nothing to do with him. Written by men of high education in Greek rather than in the low-brow Aramaic the illiterate disciples spoke the gospels are unreliable as history, admits Ehrman, the former fundie. The first person to write about Jesus was Paul, and Paul never met Jesus in the flesh. Paul’s Jesus was a mere voice in his head. He never encountered a man named Jesus. And his anecdotes about meeting various apostles were added later to make him seem legit when there was a fight within the church.
In his book “Did Jesus Exist?….” Bart Ehrman makes a very strong case that historical Jesus did exist. While sacred scripture should not be read as history, to say that the Gospels have nothing to do with Jesus does not make sense to me. The Bible is our only source of anything to do with Jesus. Ehrman does not believe that the figure we call Jesus was a fictitious person made up by the writers or just folklore and in his book he does refute that theory.
I am aware that Paul never met Jesus but Paul was versed in the teachings of Jesus and knew Jesus’ brother James and probably other disciples as well. I don’t think it’s very accurate to say Jesus was a mere voice in his head.
There is neither spirituality (a vague and meaningless term which means whatever the person saying it wants it to mean), nor is there humanity. In fact, the bible is anti-human because it condemns all of humanity. It is mythology of the nastiest kind.
I disagree. I think it is unfortunate that you read the Bible in such a negative manner but that’s up to you. I choose to take a more positive approach
I don’t think conservatism as an ideology supports oppression (neither does liberalism). So i am uncertain where your information is coming from.
The simple fact that you state that “conservatives are the status quo to be overcome” puts you into the oppressor role (yes you believe you are being oppressed which gives you justification to oppress, isn’t that how you think?).
not that JC existed at all, but one of the particularly compelling quotes about cults:
Many people were traveling with Jesus. He said to them, 26 “If you come to me but will not leave your family, you cannot be my follower. You must love me more than your father, mother, wife, children, brothers, and sisters—even more than your own life! 27 Whoever will not carry the cross that is given to them when they follow me cannot be my follower.
separate people from the larger community
and why bigger religions, end up with smaller splinter groups
the idea that there’s a difference between a cult and a religion
is only the number of members over time
remember, religion is the original pyramid scheme
and you recruit one follower who brings others
and why religion is so focused on birthing babies for easy membership enrollment
America’s Jim Jones is an excellent case in point
he used the Rainbow symbol for ethnicity harmony
pandered to politicians as insta-crowds and form letter mailing crowds before going off to his own city, were over 1,000 killed themselves over three locations.
That’s another thing that bothers me, and why I’ve avoided religion in general, but particularly Christianity. They insist on *killing* those who don’t follow their way of thinking.
I still have nightmares from listening to audio of the Jonestown White Night Practice nights, for a late 1980s college anthropology of religion class. I did my term paper on a Charles Manson/Jim Jones comparison
and I don;t know how a Christian can call other people heathens, pagans and infidels and then demand respect for their ideas and their person
religion is why we are intolerant to the point of genocide
this putting whatever we think is moral above other’s very lives.
I know, right? It doesn’t make sense. Christians demand that non-believers, believe in Jesus Christ, lest God punish them severely by sending them to “Hell.”
The Bible can be read that way but my belief is that you miss the rich spirituality and humanity of the book because like the fundamentalist Christians you take it far too literal.
You say you are an atheist. Can you tell me what you mean by that?
The trouble with defining oneself as an atheist is that you need to define God and many theologians do not have the nice neat definition but only accept that there is a Divine mystery. Others have defined God as love and God is good, the noun not the adjective. By saying you are an atheist to them says that you do not believe that love exists and don’t believe in goodness.
I don’t believe the Bible is the inerrant and the literal words of God. So why would I focus on the bad parts?
Your inability to comprehend is because of your cognitive dissonance, and emotional preferences combined with a refusal to understand, or use words in any common meaning.
You know nothing about me. I have been a supporter of the LGBT community for longer than you have been alive. I have a different view of the Bible than you and of the Devine Mystery. Let’s just leave it at that and continue to support the LGBT community as best we can
you presume to know everything better than everyone you are trying to force your opinion on, and you predicate that on believing assumptions you make about others without any knowledge of them
your opinion of someone’s book edition opinion of the actual topic of religion is rejected,
Godbot is as Godbot does,
you are not willing to communicate to understand
so perhaps you should not ask questions you don’t want answered.
you support the community by being rude to members of it, eh.
Godbottery is predatory and you are spreading bronze age ideas; Post Information Age.
Once again you show that you know nothing about me. Once again you falsely accuse me of pushing my opinion on you and others. Once again you attack the person rather than the message. Once again you you seem to take it personally that someone has a different opinion than you.
“you falsely accuse me of pushing my opinion on you and others. ”
your inability to cope with being disagreed with just reinforces all the pale male stereotypes
LGBTQ is not about you, and your claim to being an ally is not supported when it’s religion you are promoting.
you don’t get to decide how others perceive you
and given that you don’t like the response you’ve earned
then consider that it’s you, and your approach
however old you are, you should have had enough experience by now to develop social skills;
so not starting your conversations by expecting people to adopt your religion on your say so, as if the other person has had no life experience; would be a good place to start.
I disagree. I think it is unfortunate that you read the Bible in such a negative manner but that’s up to you. I choose to take a more positive approach

What kind of society
Degrades the spirit of people
Allows unneeded suffering
Permits atrocities
Causes people to be divided
Produces weapons of murder
What kind of society?
It is a society you will know
And you call it free society
March 4, 1983
What kind of Society
Demands the perversion of its people
Ensures that atrocities will be committed
Allows it people to be decadent
Takes away all semblance of humanity
Has people prostitute mind and body
What kind of Society?
You call it free
