Thank you.

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.

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.

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...

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...

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...

Among the colonising countries, Germany was a...

Would you like to post some references for your opinion?

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

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...

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...

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!
