Yes, black. Gray dress-shirt, black slacks, black heels. Funeral appropriate for a girl? Or would you rather skirt/dress?

I go away and suddenly the spammers are the mods. Okay, I can adjust to that, but... Gorath?! And what's up with Mam's not being the top poster?

A skirt is more traditional, so I'd prefer to see that. But I would also be okay with the other option, minus the heels.

this question might come off ignorant to some people in this site..but i have been wondering about this for a long time...how come Europe and Asia was more advanced then North America South America and Africa around the 1600s??..

Lack of communication between the countries, I'd assume.

Technological advances didn't reach the indigenous people of those continents because of geographical barriers.

Question: How do groups figure out the Jap names from Korean/Chinese RAWs?

Question: How do groups figure out the Jap names from Korean/Chinese RAWs?

I'm sorry if this seems like a smartass comment...but

Here...

Translating on its own is changing a language form to a form you know, i guess...

Idk....it made sense in my head but i lost what i was meaning.

o.o Haha, it does seem quite smartassed. =.=
But like, the foreign (ie Chinese) names were translated into some random name, and then if you attempt to translate that into English, it doesn't give you any clue to the original Japanese name... so how on earth do they do it? 😕

what do you mean by advanced? if you mean stone work then the Incas were and still are miles ahead of anyone, if you mean exploration wise like ships and such, they didn't really need to be, same with warfare, who needs gunpowder when pushing them down the mountain works just as well and doesn't weigh half as much, nor blow up in your face. North America was so open there was no need, plus it was mostly desert and still is, so you could walk for months and not see anyone. simply put they didn't need the type of advancement that europe and asia had.

Quote from shaggievara

Isn't declawing considered inhumane? I mean, what if he accidentally got loose? His chance of survival just dropped by about 30%.

dude you really dont know my cat, he spends all day oustide and only comes in at night since it gets cold. my neighborhood is full of stray dogs but he kicked this one dog off my neighbors porch and lays in its spot while it lays in the flowerbed! not to mention he chases around other dogs _ so yeah were not so much worried about harry, more about those poor dogs! so yea he kicks a** even without claws 😎

and what do you mean by inhumane? my vet acutally recomended it! plus i agree it was inhumane maybe back in the 1900's 1989-99 because my 14yr old cat was declawed an the technique wasnt perfected back then. and they left some claw fragments in her paws which made them hurt but we got them removed by another vet later. so shes perfectly fine now! plus they no longer do it the old way, technogloy has come a looong way.(laser-like stuff) it dosent harm them at all now.(or we wouldnt be doing it) my cat even still try's to scratch me when hes mad. but he fails~ 😉 Victory!

"Man, because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then he dies having never really lived."- Dalai lama

The birthplace of civilization took place in Mesopotamia, which was located in the Iraq area. Right in between Asia and Europe. Its hard to explain the rest, and I stopped wanting to be a History teacher a long time ago.

But it should be known that there are aspects of the Inca and Mayan technology that still surpass ours today. Europeans erased several of the advancements they had made because they believed this culture's basis for existence was made from the devil and went against their holy monotheistic religion. Personally, I don't think a civilization who crusades the planet to rape and terrorize and basically erase a culture is all that advanced.

actually it was more the horses that won the war for the europeans, plus in south america the spainish were welcomed like gods and were established before they started attacking the natives, all out of greed. your american history isnt much better, nor in fact is my own australian history, actually its probably worse. and it was disease that killed most natives not war, so i dont think that "advancement" would have helped much there. especially if you consider the 1600's medical treatments.
If you for a couple hundred years have nobody to wage a serious war against why would you bother making advanced weapons? then suddenly someone with far superior weapons and transport comes along how long do you think you would survive. not near as long as the Incas and Mayans did. in fact the spainish couldnt even find some of the strongholds until about 100 years back, although by that stage disease had killed most of them.

mesopotamia is between the Euphrates and tigres rivers (spelling may be wrong) and this was because of the domesticatable plants like wheat and barley. it is quite likely that "civilization" formed independently on different continents like africa and the americas, though it would be difficult to prove it either way.
here here to that.

Its not a question that life existed in other places, communities and the such. I mean, the Nomads of N America through the Ice Age certainly come to mind. When I say civilization, I mean actual cities, writing systems, education and democracy (although we all know that the Grecians created democracy, its just an example blah blah ignore it.) There is undoubtedly one source for it, and the most common place is thought to be "Mesopotamia" or the middle east.
