That is one sick song.
"Ring around the roses" refers to a rash that people got from the Black Plague.
"Pocket full o Posies" were carried because they believed that this would protect you from the plague...it didn't.
"Ashes ashes" refers to the cremation of the dead to stop the spread.
"We all fall down" happened to everyone unlucky enough to catch the plague.
How sweet.

I wonder how many kindergartners are holding hands, skippimg in a circle and singing this song right now... LOL I got my Dio devil horns thrust up.

Nope, not what I was referring to. (maybe there is some connection there but I'm not really familiar with that movie).

This is actually not true as the plague didn't give you rashes....
Here is a summary of an article explaining the rhyme:


Ring a Ring o’ Roses first appeared in print in 1881 but it was being sung from at least the 1790s. Most people consider the nursery rhyme to be making reference to the Great Plague of London in 1665 but this view did not appear until after World War II. Furthermore, the symptoms don’t describe the plague particularly well, and the words upon which the plague interpretation is based don’t even exist in the earliest forms of the rhyme. The earliest form recorded is:
[INDENT]Ring around the rosy,
A pocket full of posies;
ashes, ashes
we all fall down!
[/INDENT] Despite the fact that it is extremely unlikely to refer to the plague, the concept is so deeply set in the modern English speaker’s psyche that it is unlikely to fade in the future.

The rhyme without the connection to the plague makes absolutely no sense at all.
I'm sticking with the plague explanation.

time is a measurement not a thing

No time is a thing, only humans see it and understand it as a measurement. We measure time in relation to the earth 1 day is 24 hours the amount of time required for the earth to rotate 1 time 360 degrees, 1 year = the time it takes earth to travel one rotation around the sun. Time excists with or without these measurements but if you believe in the big bang theory which you absolutly should then you need to understand that there was no time or space untill the big bang, in our universe anyway.

Once again I strongly recommend you check out this video and watch all the following chapters:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7FV9aaiwKQ

This is where Im torn from believing there is a higher being aka a god, or no god but just a big chance, because to me it makes way more sense that there would be nothing instead of something if there was nothing I could understand that, even though I wouldnt excist to understand it, but since I do excist I have to think that there is some sort of order to the chaos. Im not talking about some Pagan god that people worship and believe in here cause I think for the most part religion is a big pile of bullshit. However Im not an atheist there maybe a higher being out there that brought some sort of order to the chaos but Im certain its not any of the retarded kids stories that is religion on earth. Jesus Christ is the son of god makes as much sense as Santa Claus, I believe Jesus Christ did excist, was he the son of god? lol yah right.
