They dropped the h because Ephraimites had a very hard time pronouncing h's. Seems the British have that same problem...
As a Brit, I can assure you that is complete bullsit.

Why did you play that card so soon Steve?
I was hoping he would try and defend her again.

"bullsit"? There is a difference between pronouncing the letter H, and just not using the letter H.. :rotfl2::rotfl2::rotfl2:

I know that, Donna. I also know that the 'h' sound in 'Shibboleth' (or whatever) isn't pronounced as a 'h' anyway. In English (as in Hebrew) 'sh' is a single phoneme. We happen to use two letters to represent it, but there is no particular reason why we should - the 'h's that are often omitted in 'English' English are another phoneme entirely, and hence the original argument is utter ogwash... :03:

Do you think Väinämöinen is Finland and Louhi is Russia whereas Ilmarinen could be Sweden and the child born from the woman who ate the lingonberry is Jesus?

Proverbs 26:11: "As a dog returns to his vomit, so a fool returns to his folly."

So do you think America could be the dog and Iraq could be the vomit? We invaded in 1990 and went back and it turned out to be a huge mess.

No no no, clearly the passage in question should be discussed without removing it from the context, Proverbs 6:6: "Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise!" Implying that if you shall not change your ways, that is, keep going back to your proverbial vomits, so shall you never understand how the ants have made the society work in much better way and that will ultimately bring you liberal left civil war Obama muslim jewish conspiracy gun wingnut communism.

Duh, do I need to spell everything out for you?

I,m sorry. I just noticed this forum is "General Topics".
I guess I got way off track.

Well lets try this:
DEMOCRAT or REPUBLICAN? :k_rofl:

Ezekiel 23:20 - "There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses."

This is getting silly ... you very well know that one bird in the hand is worth more than two in the bush.

That makes it prefectly clear that Bush had to do what he had to do and when he failed to do the job right the first time his son came along and finished it.

I can't find the scripture right now, but I know I am right ...

Sorry Simmy, but at least no one has mentioned the "O" word in this thread yet and believe me that is a miracle.

Keep trying these people will go for any bait :woot:

It was silly from the start.

I see it as just the opposite. Bush Sr. had a clear picture of the job to be done, which was to save Kuwait. He went in and did that job and refused to get carried away with nonsense.

Bush Jr. had a bee in his bonnet and sidetracked the effort to catch the perpetrators into a big war over nothing. I'd say the son "finished" it, alright.

We have a seperate letter for the SH- Š (as in Shipman)

This is why it takes a negative and a positive terminal on your battery post to get the car started :yep:

what is more amazing is that even though jews are mentioned throughout the topic the two long time resident jew haters on the forum didn't make an appearance.
