Discoveries of advanced pre-flood civiliztions

I remember. You had posted her pics before. Great looking dog.

Not sure I'd even call it an "affliction". Almost more like a superpower in some ways.

There are a bunch of things that can cause heterochromia (two different eye colors), and I think it's more common than chimerism -- but I also think we don't know how common chimerism actually is.

 

Anastasius I Dicorus had one blue eye, one brown eye.

 

True. "Affliction" was perhaps the wrong word to use.

As to superpower... she was: Faster than a speeding bullet! More powerful than a locomotive! Able to leap tall buildings at a single bound!

 

Ah, that brings back entirely un-Superman-related memories.

 

Hey, George Reeves was THE Superman. There is nothing UN about that guy!

 

I noticed this thread went to the dogs some time back.

So here is a John Maynard Keynes dog joke

One of his merry japes at a weekend party (at Tilton, or maybe Garsington) was for all the guests to dress up for a marriage - of two of his pooches. An elaborate charade, all in aid it appears of this punchline - from Keynes - dressed as the vicar:

“Who man has put together – let no dog put asunder”

Bertrand Russell recounted that event - rather mischievously. He wanted to expose that Keynes was a dyed in the wool atheist, who at the same time was, never the less, hypocritically rounding up religious allies to support his world government financial objectives.

But to understand that last point it is helpful I think to consider exactly how profoundly Diamond maybe used “kleptocracy” when describing “all advanced societies”

Less philosophy, semantics, sophistry please more commonsense. And the "problem" disappears.
A bit like me ignoring the true meaning of kleptomania on which CT members kindly corrected me!

 

How about some psychology instead?

Perhaps imaging yourself a ‘King’ has something to do with this notion you can order folk about?

 

Are you telling this story because you, yourself, have something against atheists or the idea of "world government"? (The latter is something I haven't heard anyone express concern about in decades, except those who believe we already have one. Secretly, of course!) Really, I'm only trying to get behind all your rhetoric and understand what you actually believe about historical (and pre-historical) events (and/or their interpretation) as revealed by archaeological discoveries and as taught by academia. Because unless I missed it while my eyes were glazing over -- and I admit I haven't read every single word you've posted -- I don't believe you've ever indicated which specific aspects of conventional wisdom about those subjects you believe are untrue.

 

It was self evidently a joke about dogs, with a bit of historical background

This is an oxymoron Donna. It is an amusing joke to ask me to be “specific” about something as utterly vague as “conventional wisdom”. Just rhetoric.

If you really did want to understand the facts and arguments in my positions (note: facts and arguments - not rhetoric) it would be a good plan to read my post and ask specific questions about what I say in them. Since you clearly imply you do not understand them and find them boring – please explain - why do you reply to them at all? Puzzling.

@Stevearino - as I said, am puzzled by @DonnaML ’s post – apparently commanding me to provide simple answers to complicated matters. But your own positions seems even weirder – since you wrote to me privately to say “I find this whole discussion extremely interesting. “ and then publicly ‘like’ an offensive post from a reader talking about “eyes glazing over” concerning them. Beyond weird.

What are the facts?

 

They are very close to the "Moneypit" Love to see if its Templar treasure/ relics/ or from Captain Kidd. The Templars supposely hid the "Holy Grail" "Ark of the Convenant"

 

I heard the Ark of the Convenant is in Ethiopia.

 

Just a matter of going down there and digging it up. Kind of like Indiana Jones.

 

I saw that too, on the History Channel. However, I am sure if it would have been in Ethiopia/ the Italians would have uncovered it in 1935.

 

It's kind of funny this thread is currently hitting upon 'lost treasure' because I'm currently reading this Indiana Jonesesque pop archaeological book.



Surprisingly, it's a fun read!

 

This was my favorite and I swallowed it hook, line and sinker...

 

My goodness, Rob (@EWC3 ), you disappoint me. You are coming off as hyper-vigilant and/or hyper-sensitive. I have AVOIDED "liking" dozens of posts that have taken great exception with you and happened to "like" ONE that was just someone's honest questioning. I've appreciated the back and forth here by folks on many different sides of the topics. To call me (or at least my "like") weird just seems a bit much.
