St George? The only reason he was popular enough to become our patron saint (whom we share with a number of other countries) is because he slew a dragon.....which is a very heathen idea of hero-ism. All that stuff about devout Christianity and getting himself knocked off by some Emperor is by the by. So tell me, as a proud Englishmen, does the names Hengist and Horse ring any bells for you? |
I take it that you are referring to the epic poem "Beowulf" and the dragon...? Or not? Isn't it all just symbolism? Does it matter? This is all getting very heavy and complicated, I'm off to bed. Nite nite. x

Okay, so saying you where a miserable w**ker was going too far and I apologise for that, but I did think that ruining LV's Happy St Patricks Day thread was a bit extreme on your part. As for being a hippy....*sighs* No, I aint a hippy, Im the devil in disguise 
.
It can be disheartening to see people from your own country celebrate other countries saints and not know of your own, I mean I live in Northern Ireland, there is alot goes on here in regards to political and religious debate so on one hand I should be used to it, but on the other Im sick of it.
No offence Moose, I didnt expect to see such a post as yours in a thread celebrating and sending well wishes to others.

Fair enough, but in all honesty I don't think I "ruined" the thread. I gave my opinion on the issue. Other peoples' reactions are their own responsibility, not mine.

Beowulf....No, Hengist and Horsa are the first Anglo-Saxons to found a Kingdom here in Britain. So they should be a rather essential piece of our heritage but since their heathen, nor Rome-loving chaps (and thus not loved by classicists) and history was written by a bunch of Frenchmen for hundreds of years, most English don't get to know their own orrigins or the characters that where involved.
The government moved one of the White Horse stones that are connected to the Brothers rebellion again Vortigern....for a motorway, such is the value placed on our own past when its inconvenient.

Everything and anything can be symbolic, thats just being human.

Does history matter? Does identity matter? The two are inseperable.
Night night!

"Beowulf....No, Hengist and Horsa are the first Anglo-Saxons to found a Kingdom here in Britain".
I meant, in the poem Beowulf it is suggested Hengest and Horsa were Danes, and that all characters are fictional/symbolic.
Also, there is the comparison between Beowulf fighting the dragon and St George fighting a dragon, that possibly neither existed, or were indeed one and the same.

Now that would be a good reason to celebrate

I'm going to abstain from voting, since the choice of answers doesn't fit with the question..
If the choice was simply Yes or No, I'd click on Yes. In many of your posts you come across not only as miserable but also as homophobic and misogynistic. I suspect (hope?) you do so to provoke a reaction, or as an attempt at humour, rather than that you genuinely hold these opinions. But the answers you've provided are more about freedom of speech than about you. So I can't click on "Yes - ban him" because you're entitled to your opinion. Just as other people are allowed to disagree with it. It doesn't make us all "hippies" if we do.
Can you add another choice of "Sometimes needs to engage brain before unleashing fingers"?

Err from memory Hengist was said to be half Danish and half Jutish, but its some time ago I read this stuff. Jutes really and certainly leaders of a mixed band of Jutes, Saxons, Angles, Frisians, Inguevoni generaly (friends of the god Ingu). Their all neighbours really in this periode, which is why you can't destinguish them apart from DNA, while you can destinguish Norwegians from them.
Beowulf is fiction, but the setting, the kings mentioned and tribes and a few others are also mentioned in other documents some histories. So they maybe real. But the lead character is a ficitional invention for certain as is the story. Though the references to a later war afterwards are supported elsewhere.
I thing we just like dragonslayers, monster slayers generaly.
