If man disappeared from the planet I don't think any creature would be able to take his place, nor do I think intelligence of a particular species would evolve, because it would have begun to do so already. It is said that we evolved from the apes, but no one to date has been able to find the so...

That it is sabro and quite a catchy tune. The only problem (maybe it was good back then and that was its purpose) is that if you listen to it a few times in a row, the damn thing stays in your head all day! :bikkuri:

DO NOT CLICK ON THE LINK IF YOU ARE OFFENDED BY RACIST WORDS AND PHRASES. I apologize in advance if this offends some, but this is American history, and the propaganda of the times should not be lost to history or Political Correctness lest we forget and it is repeated. Mad Pierrot's recent...

I know it all doesn't make sense to some. I just still find it strange that I would even say something like that back then. I'm still searching for the answer as to why I knew in advance where my life would head even if I didn't know it at the time. What I ment by "predetermined" is that my...

In My Own Experience, Yes! Good question and something I have read alot about. A predetermined future also proved itself to me some 38 years ago which I'll explain later. I hope I can make this as short as possible. Please understand that this is what I have read and it may seem like alot of...

Here is an interesting link to a Department of Defense memo instructing US soldiers guarding muslim prisoners at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba on how to handle the Qu'ran. (Requires Adobe Acrobat Reader. If you don't have it "google it" for free.) A couple of questions here: 1. Why? Where is the...

Well at least we can agree on that! :beer:

Yes I do. Whatever you want to call it, it sure isn't conservatism. Study your history. In the past, before the income tax was illegally instituted, America derived all of her income from tarrifs on foreign made goods and services and taxes on business. Well I can see there is no arguing with...

I agree with Lexico. I wish I could also find some pictures of these findings!

Although I never experienced the manual pump thing, or having to wash outside, there was a basin in the kitchen sink that you were expected to wash your face and hands and brush your teeth while using. I'll explain that experience in a future post in the stories section when I was suddenly...

When I lived in Japan my apartment and most houses did not have a seperate room with a sink for brushing one's teeth so it, along with the washing of one's face, had to be done in the kitchen. Here in the US and when I visit the in-laws in Japan, there is a seperate room for that.

What Bush says and what he does are actually two different things. On the outside he is a conservative and says the things a conservative is supposed to say. But his actions do not show him to be a conservative. A Conservative is supposed to conserve the constitution and our constitutional...

Just thought some may be interested in this article. It seems like much of early European history and origins will now have to be re-written.

Nice to see you posting again Maciamo! I was wondering where you were. I have to agree on almost all your points as it is exactly the same here in the states and it was, and still is, quite a culture shock! Welcome to the club of "The Foreigners Who, Having Lived in Japan, Feel That There is...

You are quite correct in that they favor Bush and everything he is doing. The funny thing is that Bush is acting just like a liberal with all his domestic policies and such. I see nothing of the conservative he is supposed to be. Nothing.

Well since no one will take the bait, I'll be first. Whoops. I see Mycernius was first. Being a conspiratorilist I think the media reports whatever is required at the moment and prints or reports whatever they want the American public to focus on at the moment for the purposes of "their"...

Although smoke listed a few good theories that are out there, There are a couple of other areas of thinking on this and smoke just touched on it. It is said in some circles that when one moves on to the after-life one is allowed to relive, or go back to, certain areas of their previous life...

smoke gave a very good answer Doc. I have a little to add and will post it in a day or two when I have a little more time.

Interesting point. I agree with CC1. It is just a book! On the other hand, what about the FACT that Saudi Arabia burns thousands of bibles on a yearly basis? All bilbles and other religious paraphinalia, like crosses and medals, are confiscated from westerners entering the country and burned. If...

How very true. Just look at what happend in Australia after guns were outlawed. I think crimes (maybe utilizing a firearm) went up more than 46% in the first year! Maybe some of our Australian friends can elaborate more on this. When a criminal thinks one may be armed, he usually thinks twice...
