Will there be only one aristocratic hirarchy, or will different civs have different noble positions?

Interesting. It lead contamination and its reduction is strongly correlated with violent crime rates worldwide.
Seems weird, could be true though. Heavy metals are funky like that.

It was a good thread while it lasted.
When the prosecution can't find the guy's file, guy tends to blame me... a lot.Truean, what kind of law do you specialize in?
Ok, a.) The prosecution basically is the police, good luck telling them what to do, b.) I have the stuff in my office very well organized, not my fault if others don't, c.) what would you like me to do about it?
It's gonna take some time for the prosecutor's office to find the file. Nobody can magic it up. I forsee myself getting yelled at on the phone tonight over this..... [sigh]

1) QED is only used in context where a conclusion is reached from a set of axioms, not when it is based on empirical data. Your implied claim to mathematical accuracy is bogus, to say the least.
2) As you are making a claim in the field of science, you need to provide data to claim to be right [1]. You provide none.
3) Even if data had been provided, a certain amount of rigor is needed to reach a conclusion. Yours is more of a qualitative argument [2].
[1] Or maybe not, looking at neo-liberals.
[2] A euphemism coined by my father, who originally used it to call the arguments usually used by libertarians complete bullshit.

« on: January 07, 2013, 02:08:15 pm »I figure we'd see the opposite, given how some of the banned substances are only as deadly as they are because the makers are garage chemists rather than pharmacists, and do things like use car battery acid to cut methamphetamine or spike marijuana with formaldehyde.Heroin, for example, hardly damages the organs at all.
(What it does to pianos though I belive you'd rather not know...)

« on: January 07, 2013, 07:52:00 am »So if there are multiple people vying for power, will each one have an influence with parts of their population? Will the religious sects or other groups eventually start trying to take power? It'd be cool to see a Theocracy or something sprout up.We already have vampire cultists, so it's probably not an unreasonable thing to expect.

Lesbian lizard clone sex for purpose of procreation in the middle of a desert.
