Oh yes, a well-prepared defense indeed... :roll: which, unfortunately, will only hold up in a Rac Conan court. All others have their own laws and customs, and his defense might not hold up in them. Case in point... if the local Baron is the Law, Quentyn will have a bit of trouble trying to get out ...

How is that at odds with what I said? I don't see how an immigrant being "of value to us" is any different from what I said... I'll have to go find my sources on that statistic again. I don't usually save such links, but rather attempt to remember the gist of the numbers. Still, I'll have to get ba...

Actually, as posted elsewhere in this forum, bathing was much more common during the medieval period than is commonly portrayed. It was as much a form of social commerce and interaction as a matter of cleanliness, and the associated norms and rituals varied from region to region. It was only a peri...

We have an immigration system for a reason: to sort out people who would make good Americans, and to keep out people who would not make good Americans. Statistically, illegal immigrants (from whatever their country) are more likely to become involved in other crimes as well, from robbery and drugs ...

Familiar problem, here. If you can believe it, MFM had a protest this year. Some screwy animal rights group started picketing, apparently in the wrongheaded belief that furries wear fur. I wasn't in charge, I didn't handle it. The plice were called, the crowd was dispersed. It was a hard year at MFM...

Minor correction, RH: Galileo Galilei was in trouble less for the facts of his presentation and more for the timing. Just a few months prior, an anti-Catholic iconoclast had used the heliocentric model to propose the destruction of the Papocracy. His reasoning ran that the Papal authority had been f...

Even a duke is probably not stupid enough to take all the livestock. It's better to take a little at time, to be sure that the farmer who work hard can rebuild learn farm-prodce. Never underestimate the power of Stupidity. True enough. Remember, though, that this is a feudal era. In most feudal mod...

Lazerus: How can I know your sources? Unlike me, you never bothered citing the references from which you conjured forth your data. You seem, based entirely upon your attitude and posts, to believe that saying you're scientific makes you right and entitles you to respect; neither is the case. If you ...

And the committee got themselves a vote, and the bill was ratified, A dog's tail would be called a leg, so now the dog had five... Rubbish. You're so busy being mad, Ralph, that you're imagining at least half of what you're mad about. 1. You're the only person to use the word "rape" in this thread ...

I sometimes feel sorry for Coyote. If you go back to the oldest stories, it's his job to remember the things nobody wants to remember; to know the things nobody wants to think about; to understand what nobody understands. Soooo... does this mean he knows what Cthulu looks like... and what the elder...

Personally I find it extraordinary that people have gotten so Humor Impaired and Politically sphincter-clenched that <I>stealing a kiss</i> rates as high as <I>assault or rape.</i> You're the first person to mention rape, Ralph, and I presume YOU don't think it equivalent. Over-react much lately? "...

In case the gravity goes out, naturally. Otherwise, we're back to the "Daddy Daycare" scenario.

Lazerus: You've flubbed your statistics (in addition to flubbing the First Rule of Science: Question everything). To begin with, riots break out with far less frequency than your model predicts. In 2005-6 , to date, there have been 26 known riots in the world. Of these, one was in the United States....

Don't worry, Detrius; it's just that the "You're crazy, it couldn't have happened that way" attitude is wearing rather thin after ten years of telling people exactly what happened. After all, when you can repeat the event word-for-word without alteration, yet they still insist you must be misremembe...

Nice joke, J.A.M. Did you know it's actually from an old Coyote story? Story runs that the Great Spirit called in Coyote to help him make people. Baking the clay was hard to get right, though; some came out too dark, so he sent them to another land. Some came out too light, so he sent them a light-c...

<nod> About what I expected. "Just because the logical consequences failed to happen, in a situation directly or indirectly involving God and His Word, has nothing to do with proving miracles happen. It's all just random chance." This is particularly ironic when you consider that Lazerus will deny t...

Forgive me for pointing it out, but the argument is a case of choosing your target. I provided several cases of known miracles. Point the first: Could you please help me find this list? I've searched the last week's posts on all three forums and couldn't find it. Why, certainly. It's right here, in...

<sigh> Okay, Lazerus, I'll tell my miracle story. But please, forego the "You're lying", "You're making it up", "It's all an ego trip for you", and all the other insulting things people say to you when they refuse to believe you. If you simply can't accept reality outside your own "It cannot be", th...

Forgive me for pointing it out, but the argument is a case of choosing your target. I provided several cases of known miracles. Rather than attempt to argue against things that actually happened, you said, "Yes, but this thing doesn't happen, so therefore I'm right!" Or, more plainly, "Just because ...

Okay, but I wonder how paralyzing people or causing cancer fixes things... Sometimes, it doesn't. Sometimes, its only purpose is to make other people stop and think. My dreams at that time were rather disturbed. Before my condition had been diagnosed, I had been very bored with life. There had not ...
