A special message from the Department of Troll Control, come and get it!

Fellow Americans, there comes a time every mans life when we must give up ourselves before we are worthy to recieve. There comes a time in this war on terror when in order to protect liberty, we have to give it up in the mean time for safty. That's right folks. Today, Americans have forsaken the creator for the creation and have decided that they would value our "civil liberties" than protecting western civilization and rich white people from the tender mercies of radical Islamic terrorists. Selfish liberals insist and whine that Bush has no right to spy on Americans and ban certain undesirables from using our airlines. They demand the right to criticize and blaspheeme the name of our supreme commander and cheef George W Bush while forcing multiculturalism down our throats and praising Bill Clinton. We all know however that it's totally Clintons fult for everything bad in america. Now we are at war and we must make a decision. support the safty of America and defeat terrorists, or support civil liberties and give victory to the enemy. Its all because of Bill Clinton and civil liberties that we are in this war so it is only fair that we give it up. no one said life was supposed to be fair you liberal crybabys. Dont give me that rubbish about equality and diversity. WE ARE AT WAR! If your not for Bush and against civil liberties your a terrorist! Your probably even a Communist and should be detained. Therefore fellow Americans we must throw all of our trust and resources behind George W Bush and behind this war with no ifs ands or buts. Be sure to report any and all detractors and freedom supporters to your local military and never question. Bush knows what hes doing and we will win this war once and for all. Thank you and May God bless America.

I think that the Anglo-celtic world is the Byzantine Empire, and that Old Europe is the West Roman Empire, we will endure for several more centuries, while Old Europe will fall.

Not everyone is willing to accept things that make sense. That's how witchcraft became so widespread. And ignorance plays a part, as does just plain ol' stupidity.

What makes sense to you and I may not make sense to our neighbors, which doesn't make any of us wrong. It just means that things need to be explored and understood.

We can't stop with what we believe...we have to keep searching for "something more." More is known about outer space now, than is known about the oceans of the world.

During the ice age? I know sea level was a lot lower...

Apparently about 120 meters lower. ...450 ish feet. Currently, (no pun intended) under water.

10 Million acres world wide, 3 Million of them in Australia alone. Fascinating.

No, but I have heard of him, I believe he predicts the fall of Western Civilisation, and so far his predictions are accurate.

Uh, yes, somewhat. He wrote The Decline of the West during World War I. It's not so much that he predicted what is happening now as it is that he had a view of the way things were working, in a hypothetical sense--much like George Orwell or Francis Schaeffer. TDW was an admittedly non-scholarly work done in a non-scientific manner. The cyclical theory of Spengler was interpreted in a few ways--as it could be today.

And, no--the cyclical theory has *nothing* to do with Lance Armstrong!

OK...so I missed a few things. I couldn't remember the exact date, but I know I took the article to my podiatrist because it was so cool.

Yes, when the forum branched into differing sections, bloggers, chat, news, vetscorner, smoky backroom and such, some threads were moved from where they'd been to their respective category.

Nope.
There was a town where the appliances went berzerk.

When was this?

What makes sense to you and I may not make sense to our neighbors, which doesn't make any of us wrong. It just means that things need to be explored and understood.

If your neighbor says A and you say non-A, one of you is wrong.

That may be a difference in personal philosophy. If I base what I believe on what we currently know or suspect about the universe, I have a belief based on a limited set of propositions, right?

Would that be the Big Bang theory, Creationism, or Evolution?

*snort*

Hopefully your podiatrist didn't take the Egyptians' cue.

(Wink, wink, nudge, nudge, cajole, cajole, exaggerated laugh...)

When was witchcraft? Is that your question?

Why does someone have to be "wrong" if they differ in points of view? And who is to determine which one is wrong? We're not talking about proven fact, here...just ideas that have not been proved or disproved.

We are gifted with curiosity so we can learn things. Some of us have more curiosity than others, but that doesn't mean that those with less curiosity are wrong.

No, I didn't have a toe replacement! He was so excited about the article that he called all his (my brain is fading fast, tonight...) colleagues to see it.

Welp, my brain quit.

That's a good indication that I need to give it some time to rest. It worked harder today than it should have, thanks to the scanner...

All of you have a good night, and I'll see you tomorrow!
