Jules Troy Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 In Canada they are actually bribing people to get jabbed. We have free healthcare and now on top of it we have to bribe Anti vaxers to try and get herd immunity. I say if those that are refusing actually get covid and need intensive care? Let em die in the waiting room.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, that is a description of the way they operate, which is super-effectively. What they are for, is to and kill or at least wound living beings, and they serve that purpose magnificently. The reasons for a civilian to own or use a gun are as various as the individuals who do so, which category seems to include most Americans. But the brilliant marketing of the armaments lobby has eradicated the process of correct identification in this case. And of course, the fear- mongering of the lobby's useful idiots, the politicians.

I mean from the smith’s perspective his goal is to produce a mechanism that delivers a projectile downrange, and the object he produces is the solution But I do see what you are saying in that the technology has its most utility in energy placement in soft things. So I guess they are not for pussies either , tell Yukon Vern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean if you really are hell bent on killing someone there is no “I didn’t meannnnnnn to kill that person!” (After you’ve taken out his renal artery or other sliceable)Whereas with a gun you can wuss out and say “it accidentally discharged!!” Unless of course you are using a sniper rifle.....

Peter Posted June 16, 2021 Author Share Posted June 16, 2021 3 hours ago, tmj said: Or that you think Neanderthals and hominids that populated the continent contemporaneously appeared similar ? Yup. Both evolved out of Africa. I don't know how "far back" a scientist would need to look to observe bones that were from a common ancestor of us and them. But I think there were several pre-human ancestors as time marched on. I remember one was an Asian human variant that was the smallest in size. They found evidence of human eradication of Neanderthals and their flight to the edge of the Mediterranean Sea to avoid slaughter. And they found evidence that some female Neanderthals were allowed to live and breed with homo sapiens. edit. From a science site: . . . What's more, genetic evidence has shown that modern humans mated with Neanderthals before these individuals disappeared about 40,000 years ago. Many of us today still have 1 to 2 percent Neanderthal DNA, findings that suggest that modern humans who encountered these individuals saw them as people, too. end quote I looked around the web and different experts suggest that Neanderthal’s average IQ’s were between 71 and 100. 100! Astonishing. But they may not have had the facial tools to speak well to humans. Much of their art and tool making may have been from copying humans. I suppose I should say homo sapiens, sapiens instead of “human” because most experts referred to Neanderthals as humans too. I wouldn’t mind going back and retaking anthropology again but there is always the net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter, sometimes your references or cites seem beyond a fog bank. 1 hour ago, Peter said: And they found evidence that some female Neanderthals were allowed to live and breed with homo sapiens. When we say "they found evidence of _____" readers often need additional clues to discover what that evidence comprises. For example, something like; this could be out there at some internet address somewhere: "The evidence found included commingled burials -- where only female Neanderthal remains were found with modern human bones. Subsequent DNA analysis showed only maternal genetic material in 'hybrid' remains at the Vindija Cave" -- That's your "Please use URLs" plaint for 2021, Peter.
