    My avatar can be interpreted quite a few ways, but I don't care about that, I just like the way it looks. The quote is Hunter Thompson.

    Personally, I like the current setup and think that it is the most practical. The people who contribute do so of their free will without requiring sanction, and are duly rewarded with opportunities to recieve new material or to potentially moderate. It's there for the taking, and the people who have done so already are my heros

    I've had trouble with suicide, and I can say that in addition to being an attempt to escape or avoid reality instead of directly dealing with it, I began to use it to manipulate others' sympathy. I think the view of reality that most children grow up with completely disarms them when they have to confront the fact that their life is in their own hands. My problems were always founded in the religious beliefs that my parents taught me, regardless of their good intention.

    Several articles that I had read indicated that he mentioned at it was at least 12,000 years old. I can't seem to Google a direct quote other than in this article: http://www.stonepages.com/news/archives/001571.html

    When you have a forum, they are inescapable. It seems to give some sort of incentive for participation, but it usually backfires.

    If another person starts applying terms like genocide (a word devised in 1944 before the Nuremberg trials) to describe Roman conquests, I'm going to have to start talking about man's discovery of fire and flint knapping in terms of his theorems and hypotheses.

    Its no problem.

    Ethanol isn't a secret. Car manufacturers are making vehicles that are capable of using E85 ethanol/gasoline blend. This fuel is most commonly found in the midwest US, but can be hard or impossible to find elsewhere. Ideally it would be nice to have it available everywhere and for all cars to be able to use it, but it still will cost much more than gasoline. Infrastructure changes are not free. Though I agree, ethanol and biodiesel are the most viable options for transportation. Uh oh. I'm probably the ugliest woman you've ever seen. Well, maybe not.

    What do you guys think are the best case scenarios? For instance... success in areas of energy, war, politics... My point being that yes the outlook can be pessimist, but there is no true collective and everything realistically happens at the individual level. You can make a difference even if its just a little. Start with your children, if you have them.

    If I may nitpick... megaliths like Stonehenge pre-date Druids. I think that as long as people have had sea-worthy vessels and a remote chance of reaching America, they've been discovering it. People are crazy enough to do anything.

    If you start to think in terms of 'we' then you're already taking a step toward the mob mentality that creates these scenarios. Theres nothing like some cultural and media hype to work certain people into some sort of mindless frenzy.

    I third the recommendation. You might also scan your PC with Rootkit Revealer. The download link is at the bottom of the page, but I'd also recommend reading the information.

    The earth WILL cycle through ice ages, that just how it goes. The pessimism is actually realism, considering how fast the human population is growing. When a climate shift does happen, earth simply will not be a place that can handle this many people... unless we have a very very clever solution... which humans are pretty good at... usually...

    Reminds me of something I read about a guy who worked for a fossil finding organization, who had a contract with a rancher to excavate and keep any fossils on his property. He found the most complete tyrannosaurus fossil ever found. As it so happens, th guy's ranch was held in trust by the feds. So they confiscated it and sent the excavator to jail. lol

    There have been Celtic swords found that date as early as the 1st century BC which have blades of about 90cm without the handle. That rivals many great swords from the medieval era. The quality of the iron nears that of steel in some cases.

    They're classic for a reason

    Mmmm Tony Roma's.... My experience sucked, but thats only because I did not know that codeine would make me vomit. I had all 4 pulled and I was prescribed Tylenol with codeine, the vomiting and dry-heaves ripped my stitches open and one of the lower sockets became infected. Silly me, it took 2 doses to realize that it was the pain-killers. Hope you feel a little less nervous now. But seriously, you experience discomfort for a short period of time, relatively speaking, and then you forget all about it until someone mentions wisdom teeth.

    This really explains a lot of things I've wondered about...

    Why believe either when everything is still inconclusive?

    Ahhh, but who slew Goliath...David or Elhanan?

    Happy Birthday Pertinax!! And a Happy Birthday to you as well, Lacertus.

    If you Google for it you can find all sorts of crazy evidence for the presence of Phoenicians/Hebrews in the Americas. How much is true... I don't know.

    Sounds delightful. I'm sure the womb sauce is much tastier 'if not completely cleaned'. I think I'll check with the guy in the deli and see if he has some uncleaned womb from an old pig.
