    Proto-Indo-European

    To have heard some one speaking a PIE language in modern day is impossible. Linguists have not completed a lexicon of PIE, and as you've just read, it is simply unpronounceable.

    Bell Beakers were a multicultural phenomenon & trade network, not an ethnic culture

    Maciamo: Finally, some one with some common sense. I've been saying precisely this for quite some time. Pottery was the province of women. It could have ben spread by marriage, migration or trade. I agree that it's not an ethnic culture.

    Cuman & Kipchak influence on European genetics?

    The Cumans are said to have originated in China, east of the Yellow River. They are described as Caucasians with red/blonde hair and blue or green eyes. The Kipchaks were a loose Turkic Federation. The two combined and at various stages became mercenaries for some of the Russo/Baltic states...

    Protests and Bombings in Thailand

    What a beautiful country, what beautiful friendly people, what a shame! It is indeed a pity that a country such as Thailand is at present in political turmoil. Muslim violence in the southern provinces and now violence in the capital, all doing no good for the working people, many of whom rely...

    Hitler, Religion, and Morality

    No, Hitler was not an ally of the Vatican, but during WW2, the Vatican was an ally of Hitler. There are many examples of Nazi soldiers working in and with the full co-operation of the Vatican, including the infamous "Rat Line" which provided avenues of shelter and escape for Nazi War Criminals...

    The Gay Marriage Controversy

    Sile: The other relevant point is what the existing legislation in various countries is. For example, in some very socially liberal countries, there may be no problem at all with someone who has had a sex change operation marrying someone of the opposite gender. It would also be determined by...

    England's colonization strength

    The combined Anglo-Saxon and Norman ethos is what made England strong. The stolid determination of the Germanics along with the trade curiosity of the Normans resulted in a virtual race to see which country could gain the most land/wealth for itself. Among the colonising countries, Germany was a...

    Geo-Engineering-- what says you?

    Again, I agree with you. IF it was possible, scientifically, economically, it would be impossible. Does that make sense?

    The Gay Marriage Controversy

    Sile: That person may not have had any external sex organs, but could have had, for example, a womb and fallopian tubes, and would therefore be ruled as a woman. If a person had a sex change operation, and was ruled, for example, medically a female, I think they are permitted to marry. Do you...

    The Gay Marriage Controversy

    No, the Constitution doesn't define what a man or a women is. In Westminster legal systems, where a law does not define something, the common law and generally accepted view of the people is accepted. In this particular case, this would mean that a person born with male reproductive organs is a...

    Geo-Engineering-- what says you?

    I agree, but if engineering could change weather patterns over some areas of the earth, we could possibly address the issue of famine more directly, and at the same time change damaging weather patterns. IF ONLY!

    The basque language

    Basque is recognised on the one hand as belonging to the Celtic "family", but on the other hand it is a unique language. How or why it remained isolated in a small part of Spain, I don't know. Perhaps the answer may be in a book that I've just started reading, entitled The Horse, The Wheel and...

    Muslims voted for preferred dress code for women.

    I would like to see the actual male/female voting results. Were all Muslim women permitted to vote on this issue?

    A link between Cossacks and Scythians?

    I agree. Notably, the Cumans, a red haired green eyed Caucasian tribe from east of the Yellow River in China fought on the side of some Russian princes against the Mongols, as did the Kipchaks, before eventually joining the Mongols to form The Golden Horde.

    The Gay Marriage Controversy

    Sile: I can't see the Federal Government asking for a mandate to change the Marriage Act to permit same sex marriages, can you? As the ACT found out recently, only the Federal Government can make laws in relation to marriages, States cannot. For them to able to do so would mean a national...
