lol

diplomacy is important too


set the function, not the mechanism.

You can have general principles and qualifications of them, like civilised legal systems.
Or you can have a tyranny of simplicity.

That sounds like one of those bald statements you so despise.

Does not, it has a second line, makes all the difference.

History has a way of catching up with you. History can be rewritten but not remade.

the cherokee, chickasaw, seminole, creek, choctaw, ogalala, dakota, wichita, pawnee, crow, nez perce, arapaho, comanche, apache, kiowa, mandan, seneca, iroquois, pottawattamie, huron, mohican, ute,cheyenne, and osage might disagree.

The Asmo. He might do so as well.

Time will always catch up with you. History..? If you are "lucky," most of yours will be written long after your death. If "not" - it will "never" even know you existed. Such is the view from the ehights of Mount Future. The vast majority of people are just ants, and obscured by the clouds besides.

So... I don't see an argument for history having a way of catching up with people, unless they were prominent participants in "great events," and perhaps not even then.

The link they supplied is for the Imgur gallery page, rather than for the image itself.

I moved a couple of your posts. My Bad I should have said, but you didn't answer my last PM so I don't know if you didn't see it or couldn't be bothered to answer.
If religions were TV channels atheism is turning the TV off.

You have not replied to any private messages addressed to you from admin that I am aware of. You are welcome to make yourself at home, but ignoring the publican will produce results you may not find pleasing.
