Vnlr: All too unfortunate and all too true :(
Although I often detect a hint of cynical amusent in myself when reading books on the evolution of warfare. Takes quite a species to perfect genocide to such a degree that it nearly becomes an art of great strategists. When all kinds of mad destructive technologies get involved, it gets even funnier in a horrible way. But that might just be despicable me ...
I still think we'd be better of if we switched to a matriarchal system, but then I'm a total weirdo :D
Far eastern architecture and mythology are indeed very interesting. I've always loved Buddhist art and the great castles. As a communist of sorts, I'm not a big fan of class structures though :p
Edit: "the man with the hammer" just came past - I think I'm slowly creeping of bedwards :p
I think any system would fail to some extent, as I said, it is our nature. We do the same things really these days that we did in the dark ages. The only real difference is we discovered better technology to kill each other with.
I would not say I like class systems, Britain being well know in it's past for her class system, one that to some extent still exists, but I do find them interesting how different nations developed them.
Have a nice journey bedwards. Goodnight and pleasant dreams.
CarrionCrow: -laughs- It's okay. I honestly never intended to end up with as many as I have now. It just kept growing, and growing, and growing.
Thankfully, I have no intention of going
that far. If it's good to me, I'll grab it. But I'm not grabbing everything just for the sake of having it all.
I can see how people build big collections these days, especially on Steam and with all the bundles. At least you only pick up games you would like to play, I have seen some pick up games just for the sake of it, as though they were trying to collect them all.
Crewdroog: @DD: hahaha on the new pic. a reacher would be nice. and yeah, i was feeling bad about derailing the thread too. :)
It would be nice, but I am not sure how practical it would be after you get the toilet paper. :-)
