[FairfieldLife] Re: for teachers
P.S.: This may be unpleasant and embarrassing for you, Curtis, but in the interests of adjusting your perspective in the direction of reality, you might want to keep an eye on Barry's FFL2 posts yourself, noting how many of them have been about moi. (Count the lies in his current post about our conversation and about my purportedly stalking him from forum to forum.) Then have a look here on FFL for how many posts I've made about Barry's FFL2 posts. Doesn't sound appealing, I know, but it'll do you good. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, authfriend@... wrote : Well, Curtis, you've managed to nudge this discussion farther and farther away from the actual issue, which was your erroneous claims that Barry's mistake (lie?) about who started the Subud discussion was an insignificant detail, and that I had missed the point of his Is Doug Hamilton Possessed? post.

Awarding bullies with attention is as much a part of the problem as the bullying itself. OMG! HE JUST POSTED THE SAME RANT HE'S POSTED A THOUSAND TIMES BEFORE! I MUST LASH OUT AT HIM IN RETURN! Why not just ignore it? It's not like real life fists on a school playground. It's just words on a screen. Online bullies wield power because people give it to them. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, dhamiltony...@yahoo.com wrote : There is some lot of truth to this article.

Yes, warming would have been a direct benefit, not only for themselves but in
incubation and nurturing very young.

Hmm, maybe they were originally for keeping warm and became useful for catching
insects or mating displays. Or maybe they just helped it run faster?
Feathers are deformed scales so they must have had some sort of advantage early
on or they wouldn't have got very far. Don't suppose you'd accept enhanced
cuteness as an explanation?

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Jurassic Park: our feathered friends...
I think the feathers could have been functional. It looks as if they would have
been able to glide short distances, an advantage in a long pursuit of quarry
and a precursor to actual flight.

Those wings could have been aids in making that creature look bigger and
fiercer or, as we are told, birds are descendants of dinosaurs and this may
have evolved into some other bird species (albeit large). Very cool and very
colorful.

[FairfieldLife] When do you go?
OK, it turns out Stephen Hawking was wrong and time travel is actually possible. The first machines are commercially available very soon but where, or rather when, do you go? Myself I'd see The Stranglers play live in some grotty South London pub circa '76. That's just the starting point obviously, I'd also go see The Doors in '67 somewhere in LA. Might bump into the two Barry,s, I could freak them out by predicting their future. After a stop in Topanga valley to say hi to Spirit my fave 60's band who lived in a farmhouse there. After that, not much would interest me until we get back as far as Roman Britain. The contrast between their organisation with good roads and smart architecture in neat towns and the iron age hill forts and tribesfolk of the highlands would make for some great photo's I think. I'd have to meet Jesus I suppose, if only to see if he was real. Maybe he could cure my eczema? Wouldn't bother with any other religious people though, if you've met one Indian faker you've met them all. Greece and Rome are essential stop off points, in fact I'd stop and see all the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World they must have been superb in their prime. I've seen most of them as they are now but we have a funny thing in the West of leaving the original building to fall apart. In the Far East they do the opposite and rebuild them every now and again to keep them pristine. We say they aren't the same thing but they just as rightly say they are exactly the same as they always were and we should take more care of our stuff. Babylon must have been rather impressive in it's heyday, all that blue glazed marble with lions and dragons all round it. Mesopotamia as a whole was rather impressive, cradle of civilisation and all that. Just think, these people were the first to build cities, what a lot of things to overcome just to break our natural desire to live in small groups, must have been worth it for them. After that I'd sit on a hill in Sinai and watch the first humans cross the end of the great rift valley and start the trek out of Africa. The only bit of advice I'd give them is to leave the oil in the ground, it isn't worth the hassle. And then it would be off to the Mesozoic to check out some major prehistoric fauna, dinosaurs, pterosaurs, pelycosaurs. I'd be in heaven. Would I visit the future, nah. It'll just be the same old thing with faster cars and smellier air. At least until humanity dies out, might be worth a look at what evolves to fill the gap. What did I miss?
[FairfieldLife] Re: for teachers
Well, Curtis, you've managed to nudge this discussion farther and farther away from the actual issue, which was your erroneous claims that Barry's mistake (lie?) about who started the Subud discussion was an insignificant detail, and that I had missed the point of his Is Doug Hamilton Possessed? post. This is a standard bit of your flim-flammery when you realize you're losing an argument you should never have started in the first place. And then it degenerates into meaningless insults.

As I said, what Doug wrote seems to me more like a call for more information, given that Wikipedia didn't say anything about its involving spirit possession. Me3: It was on TTC. I forget if Buck was made a teacher. Buck and I also heard tapes of him talking about this on our rounding courses as MIU students. So you say. I'll leave that claim for Doug to deal with if he's so inclined. Me4: We took the same rounding courses with the same tapes. So yes, that is what I am saying. Judy: Barry is the primary source of all the upheaval relating to FFL; he's the main reason for the split-off to The Peak, and for Rick deciding moderation of FFL was necessary. That's a heavy set of consequences for which Barry is very largely responsible, and he knows it (though of course he'd never admit it). He's having a really tough time dealing with it. But one thing making it easier is that he can now lie freely about FFL, its moderator, and its TM supporters. It seems to me that's a fact of potential interest to FFLers. Me2: I have people whose posts I don't read so I don't get this power he holds on you. Judy: What on earth does your DNR list have to do with anything? ME3: Because it shows how an adult would handle a situation of not liking how someone posts instead of going to read him when he posts on another site. You are powerless to avoid him like a moth to the flame. Still makes no sense to me, sorry. Me4: Nor to me. Never understood your behavior amidst your faux protest routine. Me 2:All this drama about having to create a new group because of him seems bogus to me. If you don't like someone, don't read them. If you decide to read them, then enjoy the ride you are creating by doing so. Judy2: Oh, this is just prissy high-horse rubbish, Curtis. Go back to Feste's cocktail party analogy. FFL is like a very long-running cocktail party. When it's dominated by a person who gets his jollies from sadistically attacking people, it's not that easy to ignore. You yourself agreed with me that the whole button-pushing bit is basically a crock. For that matter, you've often become quite wroth when you've been attacked. Me3: When I am I either show where I disagree, mock their attack or just skip it as I ended up doing with our most famous R. You act as if there is only one choice. Well, no, I don't, actually. I've done all three with Barry as well, as you know. Me2:I enjoy our conversations even though we don't agree on much and I often feel misrepresented by you. I don't really get why you can't see that Barry provides you with your favorite writing prompts here no matter where he is posting. Judy2: Barry does not provide me with my favorite writing prompts (what a pretentious phrase, writing prompts). Me3: It comes from schools. Those third grade teachers are so pretentious aren't they?

Yes I used a term common in schools about things that prompt us to write.

J: I'd much rather write about other things (and did, when there was a pause in Barry's jihad against me). You don't provide them either, as it happens. It's a big bore to have to untangle your flim-flam. I vastly prefer discussions that are straightforward and conducted with integrity. Me3: This was worth the whole post. You do know that some of us are aware of your history of writing here right? If you tell me it has bored you or that you would rather write about other things, you are proving my point.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Jurassic Park: our feathered friends...
Yes, I've trained raptors( hawks and falcons) for years. If you've ever
noticed a road runner, they chase on foot and will glide over ruff terrain,
such as thorny brush or cactus, which would slow down their quarry, giving them
an advantage. I've also watched a family of Caracaras hunting on foot in the
field, chasing mice, using such a technique.

about as much use as a one-legged man in an arse-kicking contest.
Let's see those neo-Darwinians explain this one!
Those wings could have been aids in making that creature look bigger and

ME3: Because it shows how an adult would handle a situation of not liking how someone posts instead of going to read him when he posts on another site. You are powerless to avoid him like a moth to the flame. Still makes no sense to me, sorry. Me4: Nor to me. Never understood your behavior amidst your faux protest routine. Me 2:All this drama about having to create a new group because of him seems bogus to me. If you don't like someone, don't read them. If you decide to read them, then enjoy the ride you are creating by doing so. Judy2: Oh, this is just prissy high-horse rubbish, Curtis. Go back to Feste's cocktail party analogy. FFL is like a very long-running cocktail party. When it's dominated by a person who gets his jollies from sadistically attacking people, it's not that easy to ignore. You yourself agreed with me that the whole button-pushing bit is basically a crock. For that matter, you've often become quite wroth when you've been attacked. Me3: When I am I either show where I disagree, mock their attack or just skip it as I ended up doing with our most famous R. You act as if there is only one choice. Well, no, I don't, actually. I've done all three with Barry as well, as you know. Me2:I enjoy our conversations even though we don't agree on much and I often feel misrepresented by you. I don't really get why you can't see that Barry provides you with your favorite writing prompts here no matter where he is posting. Judy2:

[FairfieldLife] Re: Jurassic Park: our feathered friends...
Your linked article suggests that mothers of gays are themselves more attractive to heterosexual men (thanks to assorted genetic goodies - shapely figures/welcoming personalities/ . . . ) so they have more kids than the norm. I doubt there's much (if any) evidence to support that hypothesis. And wouldn't natural selection have favoured women who are more attractive to heterosexual men AND at the same time had heterosexual children? That way you get the biggest payload of offspring to carry forward your genes. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, j_alexander_stanley@... wrote : New Research Points To Genetic Basis Of Male Gayness http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/06/12/why-are-there-gay-men_n_1590501.html http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/06/12/why-are-there-gay-men_n_1590501.html New Research Points To Genetic Basis Of Male Ga... http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/06/12/why-are-there-gay-men_n_1590501.html By: Natalie Wolchover Published: 06/12/2012 12:59 PM EDT on Lifes Little Mysteries While female sexuality appears to be more fluid, research suggests tha...

[FairfieldLife] Re: Jurassic Park: our feathered friends...
Yes, I found that fascinating. But, what I've observed is that those who consider such things impossible, will simply play the it's a fraud card. And never is it worth saying, but the evidence looks pretty substantial, because they don't want to hear it. There are so many anomalies in life, but for a certain mindset, they come up with their own far fetched explanations for them. In many ways they mirror the theist's explanation of God works in mysterious ways, with 'there is so much we don't know about a,b, or c, and if we only knew more about a,b, or c, surely we'd have a suitable explanation. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, awoelflebater@... wrote : I agree.

This is what the original looked like of that fossil just found in China (the Zhenyuanlong suni - a cousin of the better known Velociraptor). But it couldn't fly so those wings are surely (as the tired old cliché has it) about as much use as a one-legged man in an arse-kicking contest. Let's see those neo-Darwinians explain this one! Those wings could have been aids in making that creature look bigger and fiercer or, as we are told, birds are descendants of dinosaurs and this may have evolved into some other bird species (albeit large).
