[he also wrote that women, if allowed to be educated could be every bit as equal as men]

No way! Plato didn't say that did he?

[ChicagoHebrew]

Plato also wrote about the pleasures of gay sex. Of course he couldn't have been wrong about that....

I doubt anyone would seriously consider him wrong on that. If you were gay, I'm sure you would find gay sex very pleasurable.

Even if you were straight, I'm sure you'd get physical pleasure from a man performing, say, fellatio on you. That's why straight prisoners do it.

Formerly straight prisoners....

This finding seems to represent yet more evidence that sea level was once substantially lower than it is today.

Sea levels derived from coral dieoff strata off the Pacific Coast near San Francisco.

Plato also wrote about the pleasures of gay sex.

He also thought it contrary to nature and outlawed it. See his Laws I, 636C, VIII, 836B-D, 837B-C, 838E, 840D-841E

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

How does this explain Dems voting for JohnKerry...?

See the "people are weird" portion of my statement.

"Blam, have you ever published anything?--I think you do some really good research, I'd like to see how you piece together all this information you've assembled."

Thanks, I do it as a hobby. Writing is way to much work, lol.

[2Jedismom]

Made me smile to have someone actually comment on it and not make fun of me! LOL!!

[mtbopfuyn]

Geez, the media even spins this. It's not a "world", it's a land mass. It didn't "disappear", it was merely submerged.

[Scenic Sounds]

Yeah, it's gonna be flooded with tourists now. ;-)

That it is, LOL!

[Fedora]

I'm in no position to make fun of anyone on that subject, LOL! I just want to know what happened to the old "New Zealander Builds Hobbit Hole" thread. I was surprised nobody bumped that when the new movie came out--I was tempted :)

He flip flopped on his position? John Kerry must have read lots of Plato....

the Hindu epic of Ma-Nuh, also known as Noah.<> They had a wild ride. The flooding was apparently sudden and a tidal wave swept pretty far inland. The Black Sea flooding might have been at the same time, but the flooding was probably due to one of the glacial lake collapses. Sea level would have risen 200-400 feet in a couple days, worldwide. The locals in Pakistan and Afghanistan know they are standing on ancient land, but they may not realize how ancient.

[in the Arena]

The farm that my father grew up on and which is still owned by our family falls in the Lake Agassiz lake bed and is part of the Red River flood plane. As you sit in the farm yard and looked South East you can see a ridge of low mountains, more like hills that we always referred to as the 'blue hills' and my Grand Mother in her 90's refers to as the 'shore of 'Lake Agassi'... Some of the most fertile farm land in the area resides in this flood plane.

So that's what happened to it--ROFL! Excellent :)

Careful - that will get you slammed with the "heretic" and "blasphemer" label in some threads.

{holding hands over ears} "The world's only 6,000 years old, nah nah nah, I can't hear you..."

[blam]

" Sea level would have risen 200-400 feet in a couple days, worldwide. "

I think that is to much rise just for the collapse of the dams holding Lake Agassiz. It was only a 300-500 ft rise for all the ice melting. There were probably a lot of ice bergs crashing into the sea that caused some tsunamis in that period too. (...and , earthquakes, undersea landslides and volcanos)

[muawiyah]

You have to go all the way back to 14,000 BCE to get really good glacial lake flooding. My favorite is the glacial lake that existed around the perimeter of Antarctica.

When that one cut loose it should have formed a massive bole (or standing wave) that would ride as high as any mountains at the shoreline, and sweep up from the South throughout most of the Northern hemisphere.

This could explain the why-fors of the Cheetah which lives only in the Southern hemisphere.
