bmaitland:I hate Chavs/Neds. As the new saying goes:A Chav is a dead oneI think 'new' should be termed 'antique' and 'goes' as 'dragged along with blistered feet', but apart from that: it's a golden oldie.Any justicial progress, Sam? Or did they 'post-poned the investigation' after a couple of days? You really should retire to Belgium, so much ...

I'm glad you finally saw that I was only talking in a circle so we could get to the juicier stuff (I'm sorry, it is the process of elimination for all things internet, after all).Yes, Christianity made a dent in history. Yes, the Greeks and Romans had their apogee and then took a plunge. Yes Christianity filled a void and filled it well enough ...

TheKaiser: AMAUNATOR_THE_REVEALER:Yes, we have made remarkable progress over the last 400 years, even moreso the last 100, but - just to give a small example - remember that the Mesopotamians (That's right, 3500 years ago) already knew and used battery power (galvanic electricity, if I'm not mistaken). The Greeks, not a millenium later had ...

LethargicMotivator:The sad thing is, I know that's true, I'm lazy, and have a massive allergy to proper work. Plus, I'm catholic, everybody has it in for us!Gosh, imagine the muslims saying that, or the protestants, or the orthodox jews, or the buddhists, or the hindus, or the taoists, or the shintoists, or the rastafarians, or the new agers...? ...

Okay, lovely. The discussion is running hot, people! Keep it clean and clear .I'll be responding to both Sovvolf and Rileyman in this instance (who both made some points):You both give credence to the idea that science can save humanity before worst comes to worst. Let me say that I regret that you stare yourself blind on willing science to solve ...

Swordbane, you've read the entire Bible?I read sparse parts and rely, for information, mostly on the Lego Bible . Really, don't read the Bible if you don't know what to do with it. It's a boring read without all the historical background.

Sovvolf:I think throwing the legal system out of the window for about 10 years so its every wo/man for them selves, I think that would just about lower the population.Yes, to the brute, the savage, the vile, the unresponsible, the untrustworthy, the damnable and the corrupt amongst humanity.Actually, that wouldn't cull the population much. ...

LethargicMotivator:I don't see why I would lie about it. I don't read as much as I'd like to, I like stories, I just don't like having to go through 300 pages of prologue just to get into the damn thing. I'm sure I've read over 20 books, but nothing classic or famous, except perhaps Lord of the Flies and Thus Spake Zarathustra. :3I also have a ...

Daninsky:I don't recall any war ever having been fought over the possesion of women, those where either raids or the women were part of the parcel. However, that brings up a further point besides food (isn't water considered food too?) and habitat, in order to grow your population you need enough partners of the opposite sex. A land of women

Why wouldn't Delirious believe any of that? And if he doesn't, why should we care that he doesn't? A topic is no less worthy of discussion when one person is not earnest.And Saresa makes an excellent point: food and water are the concern here: land and control, possession and power are the main concerns for every war that's ever been fought ...
