Hey, blowfish, how about seven days in may? Weren't Burt Lancaster and Kirk Douglas in that one? Great flick. Kim

Mike, Offerte vobis pacem. Kim:)

I hadn't read this thread at all from its inception, but did so from beginning to end this morning, and watched how people, and I include myself(!), can hold fast to deep and personal feelings and beliefs and how convincing another and defending oneself can hit you at places you hold dear within...

The kids, and they were a select bunch, DID find the book a tiny bit tedious, but they enjoyed it and our discussions. I attributed the tiny bit of slog they had to go through in parts of the book NOT to the writer's style or research, but to the simple fact that to US, OLDER, this sort of...

Now, trained, I am being dragged by myself kicking and screaming to this, but I will never say that I cannot CONCEIVE of what you hypothesize. After my last post above, I had a light go on, and I thought, wait, oh no, I DID read a book about.................... In fact, I "taught" it with a...

Trained, what am I going to do with you? Give me your hand so I can drag you out of that rabbit hole! Kidding, typing one fingered on iPad, and the smiley face icon is somewhere I can't see it. Ok, it is possible, I will grudgingly admit! And, goggs, yes my feelings exactly. I've often said...

Good posts, trained, tyder, goggs, blowfish, boomerang, burnt state, and yes, mike, too! I enjoyed reading them. My point about trained's loss of knowledge so quickly was regarding these engineers postulated as being way, way before recorded history, very high tech civilizations that somehow...

Many of the cartoon stories in The Brick Testament mentioned in a previous post, though the physical dexterity of the project is, at first and for a couple of minutes, rather admired, it quickly becomes apparent that the project is, indeed, the work of a child mentally. Further exploration of...

The first link in my previous post does indeed take you to the cartoon directly. kim

I see my link to the specific usury cartoons did not go through to take you directly to them. You have to click on the link above, as given, too, by the original poster, and click on the "money lending" cartoon. Kim

I make no comment or allege anything specific here. I just provide the following "funny" perspective on ONE specific thing mentioned by someone. We are given a link to some cartoons on The Brick Testament website. They illustrate rib tickling cartoons based on the Old Testament, books of...

"It's just speculation that can't be substantiated." Fair enough, trained. It just seemed in your initial posts that you were stating facts, statements you were backing up with "innumerable civilizations" before recorded history, high technological achievement that caused them to go...

Oh, if this is the reason Angelo thought I was pompous, though I think he just thinks that generally: I mean in a couple of posts back, I ended it with "I am the teacher administering the cure.". That wasn't me, that was quoting one of the bright lights in the firmament of this whole...

Jabbermocky is so "spot on" here in his post above. Carl Jung wrote a long essay he entitled woton, attributing the movement promulgated by the nazis as a horrifically misguided urge in the psyche that became horribly inflated. The word is another for the Norse god Odin, but to attribute that...

Angelo, you are one of the most coyly disingenuous guys I've ever encountered, and that link shows it. I'm just left with, huh?, wow, that was SO deep, and ,well, I guess THAT link pretty well settles it! My question to you is simply why didn't you rein in all the circle jerk, spitting, and...

I was waiting for this thread to re-emerge. Only a matter of time. I think Jabbermockey and Tyder are right on, as I've said before. "Circle jerk" describes it perfectly. And Jabbermocky above in his post just is superb also, as he was earlier in this thread where he paid dearly with an...

This is a bit off topic, and I don't have much to say about these two shows, except that there's an element of sadness, as someone else alluded. My question has to do with how guests are obtained for the show, the leg work, process, percentage of no, I don't want to go on if asked, wow, you...

Hi, goggs. Yes, do name those institutions. I love history, it was my bread and butter for decades, and I've studied it all my life, or, rather, gotten goose pimples over it all my life, it's such sheer enjoyment for me. In fact, I just ordered the one book I haven't read by Diarmaid...

What "great monolithic structures around the world"? Specifically. What, specifically, are the civilizations "that progressed to higher levels"? I don't get it. Past the coulda, woulda, and speculative you seem to stress, but on the other hand, in my opinion from reading what you have been...

Tyder, Tyder, I know you read my post to you about your disenchantment with the UFO stuff, and you were encouraged to delve deeper into the rabbit hole by others, but I pleaded with you to hang tight to your very accurate appraisal of your fatigue on the subject. :) I just want to encourage...
