Interesting words from an exil-afhgan. It's well worth reading.

"We come now to the question of "bombing Afghanistan back to the Stone Age". Trouble is, that's been done."

We're an omnivorous species, not predatory, at a basic bilogical level... we've scavengers in effect.

Humans are just fiercely territorial and fearful of the unknown.... a consequence of emotions I think.

Well, we're not meat eaters - our stomachs are not designed to handle raw meat... we are omnivorous - for the simple reason that,as a species, we are weak and feeble compared to most animals both now and during our first years... the reason why we developed technology.

Pff, vestigial for you, perhaps.  But I like my pastas, and salads, and stirfrys, and....

I also eat sushi.

I like the classification given to us in the Matrix: "Humans.... are a disease."

Guys, I just thought of something.

WTC Towers...
Tower of Babel.

Built tall as a representation of the strength of humanity...

Crushed to show our weakness?

Oh dear

FYI . Petronas Twin Towers in Malasia are the tallest towers in the world to my knowledge so surely if some "god" wanted to destroy a symbol of man's power and kill thousans of his own those would be targeted. Plus They weren't destroyed by a natural phenomena ar something that can be interpreted as an act of "god", they were destroyed by our supposidly fellow humans.

Raw fish?!? Argh.

I've eaten raw fish before...
unfortunately, it wasn't Sushi, but a piece of uncooked haddock that I thought WAS cooked  

oh, and cut the 1-on-1 arguements before I dust off the hammer...

If it was me that he was speaking to about "Insulting an Admin" Apologies, that link was not intended as an Insult but rather as an amusing way to state the fact that comparing the Destruction of the Twin Towers to the Tower of Babel was a very Controversial  statement. Apologies for any offense Caused.
