Cedar bucket is full of Bertie
Sorry to leave the lively discussion last night, but I had to go take a
Bertie. Now my bucket must be emptied or there'll be Bertie all over the deck. You guys can feel free to argue with this clown and his sock puppets and pimple popping pals, but I really suggest filtering, deleting, and ignoring. I really wouldn't mind all the posts if they were either funny, witty, interesting, or sincere. I see no evidence of anything but a juvenile mentality screaming for attention. I recognize the M.O. Does anyone else get the feeling that they had their own NG but realized at some point that they have nothing interesting to talk about? Scout |

Tim,
As usual, you have lighted another side of a dark cave. Do I understand your last comment correctly, in that you are saying a lack of interesting conversation may be what drove mankind to explore other villages, other lands, other planets, and now, other newsgroups? Could it be that the spirit of adventure, even the roots of sailing, share a cause-effect relationship with less than fabulous confabulation? Are these outsiders just virtual explorers and exploiters? The new white man? Let us not make the same mistake as those who have been intruded upon before us! Let's get them drunk and finish them off as they sleep. -- Scout be back later - gotta take a Bertie "Flying Tadpole" wrote Scout wrote: Does anyone else get the feeling that they had their own NG but realized at some point that they have nothing interesting to talk about?

For "a lack of interesting conversation" read "they could no
longer stand their own company". Scratch an explorer, a developer, an alpha male or a bunyip and find someone desperately trying to validate their own existence in the eyes of their parents/teachers/peers/other adults in some sort of adult/child transaction, with them the child (transactional analysis appleid to the present rash is very rewarding. Again, the sociologists are going to love it). And when the validation fails, as fail it must in so many cases--as indeed it is failing for our new vikings--then they create wonderful support structures of empires, slavery in all its forms including moral and intellectual, and amazingly banal instruments of torture. BTW, glad to see someone including the entire indo-european gene pool as "white man", given the immaculate performance in the development of empire of all the egyptian/mid-east and middle asian civilisations! And yes, of course the best, in fact the only, time to kickeminthenadgers is when they're down. -- Flying Tadpole ------------------------- Learn what lies below the waves of cyberspace! http://www.internetopera.netfirms.com Scout wrote: Tim, As usual, you have lighted another side of a dark cave.

Truth be told, I am a fairly-firm believer in 'the Real Eve' theory (i.e.,
we are all 'out of Africa') as proposed by Oxford University's Stephen Oppenheimer. Interesting stuff. -- Scout be back later - gotta take a Bertie BTW, glad to see someone including the entire indo-european gene pool as "white man", given the immaculate performance in the development of empire of all the egyptian/mid-east and middle asian civilisations! |

Yes, I found that a bit confusing at first. But we are talking about what,
150K years of mutation since the proposed exudos? The existing gene pool, before the departure, had millions of years to produce the variations to that point. So by comparison, our 'new' family is much younger, with less time to evolve divergently (given that changes seen on the surface are really just that shallow). As a Euro-American, would I be out of line to say our native people, we would have gotten here before you if we didn't have that big puddle in the way? lol Good stuff. -- Scout be back later - gotta take a Bertie "Flying Tadpole" wrote I was thinking of the rip-roaring Arab slave trade of the last 1500 or so years. What I find intriguing with the "out of Africa" is that the genetic variability of those who departed is far less than that remaining in Africa; what's the estimate, about 100K "departed" to produce such a narrow gene pool? -- Flying Tadpole ------------------------- Learn what lies below the waves of cyberspace! http://www.internetopera.netfirms.com Scout wrote: Truth be told, I am a fairly-firm believer in 'the Real Eve' theory (i.e., we are all 'out of Africa') as proposed by Oxford University's Stephen Oppenheimer.
