not quite true. ur was in between what is now known as baghdad and the head of the persian gulf. it's right on the edge of al-hajarah. take your map and look up tall-al-muqayyar in iraq. it was one of the first cities foudned by the early ubaidians (sumerians). when the elamites conquered ur, they comletely destroyed the city, but it was rebuilt again and became a part of the isin (larsa) kingdom. it was later captured by the kassites, and only then by the assyrians who ruled over all babylonia at that time. it was also the city where the infamous ziggurat dedicated to moon god nanna (also known as sin in babylonia) was located.

I've thought of this too. Someone give me an answer, humorous or serios, it does not matter.

I thought they had found neanderthal/hybrid species, buried under ice and such. Probably those species just died because they weren't well adapted; think about it, humans would have died off pretty quickly in the last ice age if it weren't for the invention of fire.

Apes survived naturally, humans survived with technology, and everything in between didn't really have what it took to survive. Try to remember that evolution is based solely on survival, it doesn't just happen out of the blue, it occurs for a reason!

We still have single-celled organisms, right? So what's so hard to believe, we don't necessarily have everything along the evolutionary path from an amoeba to a gorilla either... this whole thing is just a silly argument that creationists come up with to make people question known science.

1. why in USA vs EU "wars" americans sudently forget that theyr ancestors came from the Old Continent and try to throw as much garbage on the european life style as thy can and if they are on holiday in Europe they sudently become in love with this continent?

2. why yankees killed all native-americans (red skins)

3. why USA bombed Iraq?

4. why the country like USA has so much more-less smart ppl led by a total moron?

5. why some ppl know less than 3 languages (i know 7 but i have nothing to do with philology and have never studied it)

6. why can't i quit smoking

7. why my dog has such smart eyes and can't say even a simple word heheh...

8. why ppl believe in love when it's a simple biochemical process in ones brain to make comfort?

9. why fat ppl try to do anything to lose weight?

10. why ppl complain bout bad living conditions instead making them better

11. why there's no nutrient tablets that can satisfy your hunger needs for all day (like in SF books) when the science is so well developed

12. why do ppl get angry when someone throw jokes on them instead laughing at ones creativity?

etc etc etc

Uhm....simple answer. They didn't.

There are still several hundred thousand Native Americans living in this country today.

But the simple reason for killing off so many is that the European settlers and their descendents wanted the land and felt the "savages" did not deserve it.

Thank you Diginut.

(Insert 'the more you know' logo here)

1) The hate evident between so many people... therefore
2) the dificulty people have in acceptance/understanding....therefore
3) whether im lacking in acceptance because i cant understand people who cant accept or if im inderstanding because i can
4) a lack of self belief (or maybe i just find that sad)
5) party princess
6) point 3
7) what the hell the uk gonvernment is doing with the country (and the usa for that matter actually most of the western world)

It's only against the French more or less, and the people who do it are conservative morons. French girls own me.

quote:

2. why yankees killed all native-americans (red skins)

They didn't.

What about the Spanish, Portuguese etc etc? They killed just as many.

quote:

3. why USA bombed Iraq?

The Neocons have always wanted to remove Saddam for a long time, and with the terror attacks they had an excuse. Now Bush says Iraq had nothing to do with Sept. 11th. I did not feel that we should have gone to war in Iraq.

quote:

4. why the country like USA has so much more-less smart ppl led by a total moron?

Because of the Electoral College instead of direct elections. In short, some of the small states think it gives them power, so they never vote to amend the US constitution to abolish the electoral college and change to direct elections. It requires a 2/3rds majority in Congress.

quote:

5. why some ppl know less than 3 languages (i know 7 but i have nothing to do with philology and have never studied it)

You're gifted. Don't rub it in.

quote:

6. why can't i quit smoking

Because nicotine is among the most addictive substances known to man (more so than heroin).

quote:

7. why my dog has such smart eyes and can't say even a simple word heheh...

Don't you watch "Family Guy?"

quote:

8. why ppl believe in love when it's a simple biochemical process in ones brain to make comfort?

Haha. I know what you mean. It's powerful stuff though, so most people don't think of it that way.

quote:

9. why fat ppl try to do anything to lose weight?

Sorry but that's a very ignorant statement. Many of them do try very hard, but science is only beginning to learn of the genetic factors that make a person fat or thin. One theory states that everyone has a more or less "set point" for their body weight, and even if they practically starve themselves their bodies will resist losing weight.
It may have some evolutionary significance (think survival of the fattest).

quote:

10. why ppl complain bout bad living conditions instead making them better

It's easier to bitch and moan than to put in the effort to change your reality (or learn some of the answers to your questions).

quote:

11. why there's no nutrient tablets that can satisfy your hunger needs for all day (like in SF books) when the science is so well developed

LOL







What I wonder:

Why the hell did I attempt to answer all of those questions when this person could have followed the advice in question #10?
