Hanging, drawing and quartering

2009-10-11T20:06:43Z

OswaldG: People were hung drawn and quartered in places other than Scotland...

'''Hanging, drawing and quartering''' was imposed by [[English]] law on men who were convicted of High [[Treason]]. The punishment consisted of being hanged by the neck and taken down alive. Then the victim's genitals were cut off and his [[bowel]]s cut out and burned while he was still alive. Finally he was beheaded and his body cut into four parts.

In 1305, [[William Wallace]] suffered the punishment. In the 1500s, a total of 105 [[Catholic]] [[martyr]]s were hanged, drawn and quartered in [[London]] for failing to conform to [[Protestant]]ism.[http://www.richard.clark32.btinternet.co.uk/hdq.html] After the 1745 rebellion in [[Scotland]] the punishment was inflicted on many of the rebels. Many [[Irish]] rebels also suffered the punishment.[http://www.travelblog.org/Photos/723053.html] The punishment remained on the [[British]] statute books until 1870.

Edinburgh

2009-10-11T19:51:25Z

OswaldG: Undo revision 657755 by JonathanG (Talk) (sp)

'''Edinburgh''' is the capital of [[Scotland]]. There is controversy over the origins of the name Edinburgh, which may derive from King Edwin of Northumbria (Edwins-burgh, burgh being the Northumbrian and later [[Scots]] word for fort or town) or from the earlier Gaelic 'Dún Eideann' (Fort of Edwin).

Edinburgh has a population of around half a million souls. It is the home of the [[Scottish Parliament]] at [[Holyrood]], the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland, and the world's largest annual arts festival, the [[Edinburgh International Festival]].

== The City and Its People ==

The city is also a centre of banking, commerce, education, and food processing. Its nickname is 'Auld Reekie' for its former smoky atmosphere.

The city centre of Edinburgh is divided into an 'Old Town' and a 'New Town'. The Old Town is, in effect, the medieval city, laid out either side of the 'Royal Mile' which runs west-east from the castle to the Palace of Holyroodhouse. The New Town contrasts starkly with the narrow alleys and 'wynds' of the Old; it was a planned settlement, laid out in the late 18th century, with broad, straight streets and tree-lines squares, and a calm neoclassical architecture contrasting with the higgledy-piggledy gothic of the medieval town. Princes Street, the main shopping artery of the city, forms the southern boundary of the New Town. Between the old and new Edinburghs lay a [[loch]] (lake) and marshy ground. This was drained to form ornamental gardens, which partly remain but were partly usurped in the mid 19th century to make room for Waverley Station and the city's main railway line.

== Education ==

There are three universities in Edinburgh - the University of Edinburgh (1583), Heriot Watt University (1965) and Napier University (1992). The city also has many notable private schools including Fettes College (the ''[[alma mater]]'' of [[Tony Blair]]), George Watson's College, George Heriot Academy, Castlebrae High School, Loreto College and the Marcia Blaine School for Girls. The school on which the [[St Trinian's]] films were based (St Trinnean's School) is also in Edinburgh.

== Sport ==

Edinburgh has two football clubs; Hibernian FC (nickname: the Hibees) and Heart of Midlothian FC (nickname: the Jambos). Both play in the Scottish Premier League. [[Rugby]] is also popular.

== Culture ==

The Beltane Fire Festival is a Pagan festival held on Calton Hill on April 30th of every year.<ref>http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/in_pictures/6610507.stm</ref>

==Suburbs of Edinburgh==
[[Image:Cramond_Island.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Cramond Island and causeway]]
*'''Corstorphine''' was an independant village, but is now part of western Edinburgh, retaining a rustic seclusion around its parish church. It is also the location of Edinburgh Zoo.
*'''Cramond''' is near the site of a [[Roman] fort.; it lies west of the city on the shore of the [[Firth of Forth]] and boasts some antique buildings on its narrow village streets. It is one of the city's most expensive residential districts. Cramond is connected by a pedestrian causeway to the uninhabited Cramond Island, about a kilometre offshore. Cramond islnd was inhabited during [[World War 2]] and was fortified with a pillbox, and several gun emplacements. The pillbox and gun emplacements can still be seen today.
*'''Joppa''' is a formerly independant fishing town east of Portobello.
*'''Leith''' was an independent municipality until 1920. It is the main port of Edinburgh, although its extensive docks are now being converted into affluent residential and leisure areas. ''HMY Britannia'', the former royal yacht of Queen [[Elizabeth II]], is berthed at Leith as a tourist attraction.
*'''Morningside''' is a wealthy middle class suburb of south Edinburgh.
*'''Murrayfield''', west of the city centre, is home to the Scottish national [[Rugby Union]] stadium.
*'''Newhaven''' is a former fishing village on the shore of the Firth of Forth just west of Leith. Newhaven is being heavily developed, and little of its original architecture remains.
*'''Portobello''', on the shore of the Firth east of the city centre, is a residential and resort settlement, although the decline of 'traditional' seaside holidays in Britain has seen its fortunes waver.

Debate:Better a Muslim or an Atheist President

2009-10-11T19:49:05Z

OswaldG:

Sensible know that [[Obama]] is most certainly a [[Muslim]], though he keeps it hidden (from himself too?). But at least he'd be [[religious]]. Most Muslims believe in the same values than us. Most of them are Young Earth Creationists and oppose the [[Atheist]], Liberal Science. Sure, better if he were an observant, [[Protestant]] [[Christian]]. But as the reality is different, better a Muslim or an Atheist President?

== Muslim ==
Muslims are religious and understand our values and needs. Together we must fight the ever-increasing Atheists. Together we shall oppose Abortion and Evolution.

== Atheist ==
A small, but nevertheless significant percentage of muslims are either terrorists, or endorse terrorism. Better an Atheist who listens to us than a Muslim who who may want to kill us.
