Serious ? Exterminating the cretaceous fauna wouldn't change the present ? Great. So we can discuss hunting safaris and what expensive death toys we should bring along. Maybe attracting TReX by blasting a few rounds with our AR15. Since that would make them believe there are fresh kills...

The guy is also refusing to bake haloween cakes and adult cakes. Whats next : you guys claiming that there should be government regulations ordering bakers to make cakes for witches ? Or maybe somebody wants a cake representing Khadafi sodomizing Hillary and feels harmed by the refusal of...

I believe in Enlightenment values. So do I I think all humans have the same basic needs. So do I If we accept that, then we do have the right to decide what another country needs. Non sequitur. A worn out sophism that justified the invasion and destruction of many countries in order - to...

Well I am one of these ‘incidents’ In the 60’ I was altar boy at our local St Martins church in Paris. I was 16. After difficult selection tests, a small group of us was handpicked by our vicar to visit St Francis of Assisi in Manhattan. Being blonde blue eyed altar boy I was stalked there by...

That is IMO the safest solution provided China would agree to a Korean reunification and full autonomy after the coup. Not the installation of a kind of puppet regime under chinese control (like the actual Iraqi government for example) This would certainly be the cheapest solution for the US and...

The problem is that countries are seldom if never invaded in order to start democracy. Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya pop in my mind. Besides that, who are we to decide what another country needs ? That is th opposite of democracy

Hi Zoidbrg Historically China always reacted against any interference in what they considered their sphere of influence. Interfering in Korea would be a massive stupidity worse than the extension of the Nato Pact in Poland, bordering Russia, while the Warsaw pact was dissolved. Besides ...

Isnt that exactly what the Romans did as soon as they found out that he was mutating into a vampire ? Drive a wooden stake through him and nail him on a cross to be certain Why it took 33 years for the mutation is still unclear to me

OOPS forgot the fish Sorry Jerome

Throwing away all art produced during 10 centuries based on a few examples or glorifying the same period based on a few selected works is a bit over the top. Medieval art isnt my favourite but produced tremendous art. Jerome Bosh, Memling, Rogier van der Weyde and so many others. And yes...

How do you know Jezus doesnt look like that ?

Quote That is an example of one of the better medieval artists but still there is no detail and perspective is piss poor. Unquote I stand corrected. Indeed the perspective had yet to be "invented" so all mdieval art must be rubbish. And art without perspective is no art. A quote I believe...

You mean in an era where underwear was yet to be invented. Which reminds me of Scotland where I believe man have still to invent it ?

Try again :-) As far as I can see even the details are anatomically correct. (Les tres riches heures du duc de Berry)

I have always been puzzled by the hubris of powerful people. They could easily put in place a plan B when in power but seem to believe they are invincible. Recent examples are Saddam, Hitler, the tsar family, Mussolini and yes Louis XVI and Robespierre. Some seem to get kind of away with a...

https://www.bbc.com/news/av/stories-50630441/life-after-death-how-seven-kids-came-back-from-the-dead Interesting case in 2011 in Denmark where 7 kids hypothermic and allegedly 2 hours without pulse, recovered. So if no heartbeat, no fresh oxygen to the brain, I guess. Info however is very...

Once a bunch of monks played some ball game in Canterburry . One of them observed a direct hit of a foreign object on the moon. Thought it was the work of Lucifer himself. It didnt have any effect on earth besides influencing the score of the game. On the moon it dug a nice crater and...

This fire is a great opportunity for Paris. La sainte-chapelle is anyway better than Notre Dame. This church seems to be a hub due to its location and some mythical Hollywood background . Besides, one can visit better gothic in north of France or get zen meditation in Roman style churches...

First we had sedentary versus nomadic with the near complete extinction of all nomads. Next industrialized countries which destroy agricultural ones. In US terms : first the nomadic native americans were wiped out, next industrialized north attacked the pre industrial south. Nuclear age...

Dear Untermensch(e) I stand corrected Shakespeare couldnt have you in mind since he died somewhere in 1616 Besides that, and sincerely often appreciating your extreme comments which are refreshing confrontational on this board, in this case you should graciously, but very humbly, kow tow to...
