The Sumerian civilisation is one of the oldest in an area that has pretty much been continually settled. So that's one of the reasons there's relatively little left. A lot of buildings and other materials were recycled later, historical awareness wasn't always there. And I say relatively because we know more about that old civilisation than many other. Partly thanks to local preservation for over millennia. So yeah, when you put it like it was good to take such stuff from that area to save it from destructive idiots like that's a typical middle eastern phenomenom you're doing something dubious. Now you turn it into joke of course I'll take it the initial remark was out of ignorance, not a conscious attempt to slander those in the middle east and falsely pat germans on the back here
I don't know much about star trek...is the people where kirk almost sleeps with the entire colony of women? here is the whole story to that link...it says zero about a cigarette?...where does that come from?.....or do they just know Tony had a habit of throwing his butts down the chute? Saturday's fire occurred at the South Alex development, an under-construction mixed-use development. The Fairfax County Fire & Rescue Department said the massive fire started just after 9:30 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 8. A construction worker told department officials the fire started in a trash chute at the construction site. "As is common with buildings under construction, there was no sprinkler system in place. This combined with extremely windy weather conditions made fighting the fire difficult," the fire department reported in a press release. The fire engulfed five buildings and 14 townhouses that were under construction. The fire damaged and additional 14 townhouses, four single-family homes, five apartment buildings, a commercial building and 28 vehicles, Fairfax County fire officials reported. The ZIPS dry cleaner next door to the development closed while smoke and water damage are repaired. Two firefighters were transported to local hospitals with minor injuries and have been released. One civilian suffered minor injuries, as well. Fairfax County firefighters called for support from the City of Alexandria Fire Department, Arlington County Fire Department, Prince George’s County Fire and Emergency Services Department and Fort Belvoir Fire and Emergency Services. Residents reported seeing smoke as far away as Arlington, Lorton and Springfield. Covering the Corridor reported this week: "Speaking at Tuesday’s Board of Supervisors meeting, Chairman Jeff McKay said he has spoken with the property owners affected by Saturday’s four-alarm fire and said they 'are eager to get going again.' Combined Properties, who owns the South Alex property, issued a statement over the weekend saying they intend stick with the project, and Craftmark Homes — owners of the Towns at South Alex townhouse development behind South Alex — has already been in touch with the county about next steps, according to McKay."
Star trek is set about 300 years in the future, rollingalong. Sumerian civilisation 4000 years in the past. So unless captain Kirk is into necrophilia...
cigarettes dont usually cause fires on construction material .. usually more someone walked up to plastic sheet and set it on fire.
No not at all, I have said several times before, I believe aliens would find me charismatic and worthy of adoption. Not because of my ethnicity, but because I'm a down to earth awesome person. If aliens were coming back to earth, it would make sense that they would connect with the people in the area they know, but they'd most likely have a look around the rest of the world to see how everyone else turned out. I don't see why I wouldn't be a worthy adversary. Seems realistic enough to assume they would need a loyal companion or candidate, a believer, a thinker. That's limited in this species, so I know I'd shine like sparkling star.
The initial remark about historic stuff being more prone to be destroyed by extremists over the cause of history in the middle east than in our neck of the woods. Don't be faceteous, Jeffrey! (although this seems compulsive with you on these matters )
airplane repo is pissing me off.. motherfucker repo boats and shit. I dont want to watch the fat ass with tattoos sneaking around a dock.. its airplane repo for fucks sakes!! dragging out the skydivers plane damn!!
Why though? Why can't I say it like I feel it with having to be by your opinion facetious? I'm not a serious personality like you portray with yourself, that's not who I am, that's not who I'll show.
I was pointing out you were deflecting the essence of my reply by focussing jokingly on yourself instead of on my truthbomb If it would suit you to never be taken seriously when you share your thoughts on history you can be as faceteous as you want. But we both know you would nag about that then, blaming it on your convo partners. But its all you babe.
And that's fine, I have for a while now deemed you to be a non worthy adversary for my intellect in these topics and discussions. I have lost interest because of your facetious behavior and remarks on said topics, I simply will not waste too much of my time on them with you anymore, like I said earlier in another thread. You want to talk about blame games or something well, you reap what you sew, bub.
