  1. See, in England, you have to use a two finger salute, not one, as evidence the Mr. Bean movie.... a single finger lacks meaning in British culture, and may actually be taken as a compliment. The welsh or french archers in the middle ages first used it, to piss off some knights, apparently showing them what had just recently been in the knight's wife or something of the likes. Or its because it took two fingers to pull a longbow. I dont know, competing theories, could be anything.

     

    In America, we give our salutes only with the middle, because during the Revolutionary war, our trigger fingers were too sore from constantly shooting the British, after a while, its just too hard to extend it after a long and bloody day, so we just gave the middle instead.

     

    Everything I said is true, that's history, and that's a fact.

  2. I only took pictures a inch from its nose, then stopped.

    Three pics, summer in alaska.

     

    Im going to be dropping out of the Roman history for a while again.... people dont seem that interested in digging deep, and dont want to waste any more time reading about how stylish the Roman Army Skirts are. Ill check back in here in a few more years.

     

    If things dont turn out for you in a job search, I would find a slab city. Every country has some. They are unlisted communities that fall off the government radar. Hopefully you wont get that far. Just dont grow angry if you find the years pass and the funding runs out, its the nature of socialism, but not yours, not who you are. The greeks and romans developed philosophies for these aspects of life, but for better or worst, you are always you, circumstances be damned.

     

    Best of luck, and stay away from dumpster diving.

  3. I cant recall off-hand a single saint martyred by a gladitorial fight. I used to think, as per my post on the forum, christians were executed by Nero in the colesseum, but all I found when checking was he tortured and crucified a bunch in the streets.

     

    The gladiator fights are over rated, reminds me of the gladiator fights in the show The Walking Dead..... its a broken piece of pagan religion, and as a former soldier I find it disgusting and demeaning to do to people. The Romans got what they deserved in Sparticus, wish he could of killed more of them.

  4. I think you just click on the administrators name and PM him. 

     

    I think 50 50 chance it's a money issue, they just opted not to keep the upgraded service going. But that doesn't explain the lack of interaction or warning, or why it's just the forum that's frozen. This site gets pretty good google search engine coverage, It would be a shame for it go sink.

  5. They are not in fact. I only bring that nugget up because a Oxford Graduate wrote a book called 'The Dicegame of Shiva' http://www.amazon.com/The-Dice-Game-Shiva-Consciousness/dp/1577316444

     

    He pretty much takes your stance, but with the attention to further detail on the objective-subjective divide and atomic structure, coming to the conclusion that each atom, when it becomes molecular, is evidence of atomic consciousness. 

     

    So.... back to my initial questions if you want to get off the non-Dualist slip and slide..... 

     

    Carefully reconsider..... is weight and mass inherently different? How would relativity work if they were different. Yes, I'm aware of the periodical separation and classifications..... but that evolved out of the ideology central to Alchemy, which is dualistic and not necessarily relativistic. How are the two really separate? Are we merely applying a archaic system of categorization that has long ceased to apply to our larger assumptions.

     

    I for one don't like the slippery slope of assuming atomic consciousness that a separation presupposes. I like Heraclius, but not that much.

  6. Can you prove all the atoms are still in existence, or are we just assuming? Do objects keep the same mass, or just a relative form? Can a concentration of form attract like particle formations, and can they quantitatively thin over time, similar to how frost expands and contracts?

     

    Secondly, how do we know photons move faster than us? Dont we have quite a few in us? In a relativistic universe, we gotta be going somewhere.

  7. Harmon King, from Holiday's Cove, Virginia(Weirton, West Virginia, my town back home), lead the attack on the Mingo village near modern Toronto, Ohio.

     

    I beleive Chief Logan was adventually killed by havinf his stomach cut with a piece of his intestine hanging out, then it was nailed to a tree and he was forced to run laps around it till he bled to death with his bowels ripped out. The town of Holiday Cove by all indications was built near a old mingo village (the Red Rider football stadium/steel mill now covers it) and possesed at most four forts, used during Indian sieges... one of wich was stone and used as a house or storehouse.... I can't remember which.

     

    The Franciscan University of Steubenville, Ohio has a room dedicated to Chief Logan at Fort Steuben, the fort lasted for 9 months as the first outpost of the US Government across the Ohio used in mapping out the seven ranges. I was priviledged enough to be allowed to dig there as a kid when the professor would have his summer classes.
