I can well understand that the problem is that equally shallow people actually believe this twaddle. H-She obviously has no experience of comics previous to that date or an imagination the size of gnat's piddle or both! The word I have come to use regarding such people is that they are a pissart with all the degree of knowledge of one. Take comfort, please, that true friends respect and love you likewise as a true friend. Now, put the kettle on and have a good ol' brew up.

Maybe the contents leaked into the surrounding environment and that could be why I can never find anything for certain. Haiku as a dimension. Hmm. Thymus may have something to say about that.

The vast middle chunk from the Neolithic period to when we all started to bump up against each other in the modern world is still akin to tectonic plates rubbing together the wrong way triggering instantaneous disaster, when unfamiliarity has grown to such an extent that one wrong look can trigger mutual annihilation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8266056566078305802.post-42287460197124096992015-09-01T19:53:33.162-07:002015-09-01T19:53:33.162-07:00Conflict.

It's true that daily work, simple interactions and simple trade can be carried out quite effectively between different peoples... but... the deeply held cultural underpinnings of how we truely view the world and understand our place in it - they really do not match culture to culture. Simply look at the religious divisions among people of the same race, sharing the same language and often same history ( though viewed from different perspectives in most cases ) that have happened in every country on Earth ( I don't think I'm being particularly hyperbolic here ) and I think we can see, sadly, that the Babel Fish would be a major cause for strife. Y'know, the first thing that humans would do - if a Bable Fish system were ever produced ( and there are translator systems out there that are getting very good) - is make a code language ( as we did with Cockney ) to beat the system ! Humans.... a unique bunch, and, I'm afraid to say, a very destructive and wilfully disparate bunch.

There is nothing so 'alien' as another human being? Some might say that it is a wonder that we communicate at all. We all have our commonalities, but, were such a thing as a truly universal translation system, for example, the poor old Babel Fish, would it result in peace through an understanding via all that we have in common, or eternal conflict, because we finally realized that we really can't tolerate the differences twixt each other?

Basically, it is building up their world. Hum-drum daily grind of employment or unemployment and maybe not mixing with others because they won't understand what you are talking about comic wise or cult TV/film. So a group of you and your video blogger pals link up and watch a movie live while commenting on it. Probably more satisfying to them than trying to find something new or interesting to say about new or old comics that hasn't been said already -several dozen times. I can go to a museum and look at a piece of Babylonian temple wall or ancient artefact or even an Egyptian mummy (that really ought to be sent back to Egypt) and it's interesting BUT does not do a great deal for me -BUT I do want to meet the persons who built that temple wall, the person who is now mummified or even the people who made those neolithic tools. Its the people and what they do/did and why and how they lived. Like music -I've got Bobby Darin singing Mack The Knife blaring out and....I'm babbly. So, no. I do not find you attractive (was that the question???)Terry Hooper-Scharfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09640253872553303307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8266056566078305802.post-24284448708753621972015-09-01T05:11:15.003-07:002015-09-01T05:11:15.003-07:00It's probably best, for sanity's sake, not...It's probably best, for sanity's sake, not to even attempt to rationalize these things.

Let them have their fun. It's the comments section of the blog world come to life. It's not serious. This uninformed mouthpiece' journalism' is just a fad. Ignore it. 'Everybody' wants their own group and to listen to and be 'respected' by the others in the group. It's part of how people/kids learn to live in a bigger world - to feel some safety at school - at work - in their community... it's something we should throw off as we get older - but many don't or can't.
