Livejournal throughout history, part 1
Oct. 18th, 2002 04:20 pmWhat many people don't realise is that livejournal has been used for many, many years, and has featured in some of the most famous instances of the world's history. So, this is part 1 of an occasional series looking at instances of how LJ users have reported - and been reported - down through the years. Our first instalment comes from the Bible...
PART 1 - THE JUDGEMENT OF SOLOMON
The Judgment of Solomon, First Book of Kings, 3:16-28
Now two women came to the king and stood before him. One of them said, "My lord, this woman and I live in the same house. I had a baby while she was there with me. The third day after my child was born, this woman also had a baby. We were alone; there was no one in the house but the two of us. During the night this woman's son died because she lay on him. So she got up in the middle of the night and took my son from my side while I your servant was asleep. She put him by her breast and put her dead son by my breast. the next morning, I got up to nurse my son - and he was dead!
But when I looked at him closely in the morning light, I saw that it wasn't the son I had borne." The other woman said, "No' The dead one is yours; the living one is mine." And so they argued before the king. The king said, "Bring me a sword." So they brought a sword for the king. He then gave an order: "Cut the living child in two and give half to one and half to the other."
The woman whose son was alive was filled with compassion for her son and said to the king, "Please, my lord, give her the living baby! Don't kill him!" But the other said, "Neither I nor you shall have him. Cut him in two." Then the king gave the ruling: "Give the living baby to the first woman. Do not kill him; she is the mother." When all Israel hear the verdict the king had given, they held the king in awe, because they saw that he had wisdom from God to administer justice. And the other woman did return to her house and enter Livejournal. And she did post "Solomon is such a fucken dick an hes' a jerk i would hav kicked his ass an i will if i ever see his bitch face agen".
And it came to pass that the woman was at a party when Solomon did enter, but she turned her head from him and fled. And she returned to the succor of LiveJournal where she did rant in safety.
