There is of course another scenario that no-one would appear to have considered, but could equally explain some of the oddities about the case. The Parents left the children alone, whilst away little maddie had an accident and this is how the parents found here, dead in all liklehood. They...

I don't think so my friend. There is trace evidence for human production of alcoholic beverages dating back more than 10,000 years, possibly even longer. That is not to say that some groups may not have realised certain plants gave a euophoric or similar feeling when ingested, but the process...

Hahahahahaha :lol: :lol: Very Good Mike

I think the real problem with alcohol, and to a lesser extent Tabacco, they have been endemic in society in the West for a very long time, for Alcohol the story goes back many millenia, for tabacco about 500 years. Class A drugs are a modernish phenomena, and many are wholly made from chemicals...

To a large degree John has it nailed, although the error goes back to anthropologists of the early Victorian era who believed Modern Europeans had first appeared in the area encompassed by the Caucasus Mountains. Consequently they used the following categories to classify people...

Thank you for the reply Rupert, but actually I was discussing the "Problems with Society Thread" and would appreciate that in future you read what everyone is talking about to avoid confusion.

unfortunatly I am partly responsible for the locking of the main thread. I found some comments made by a certain member to be extremely offensive given the age we live in, previous posts by that member and the recent tragedy in Liverpool. I expected the posts in question to be edited or...

I am 78 years old, and to be honest I get really annoyed when I hear people of my generation banging this drum. It is a simple cop out as they refuse to embrace the changing world we live in, in fact I have concluded that the majority of people of my generation are waiting to die, nothing more...

Does anyone actually care, it's not quantity is quality that counts. :lol: :lol:

Caravans were invented by sad people with no frinds who could not afford to go to Butlins. Next to trucks overtaking each other going up hill, they are the scurge of the road user as no-one seems to know how to tow one properly. :?

On this I am of the opinion that the Post Office and Royal Mail should be state owned and controlled for the benefit of the nation. It is right and proper that businesses should have a range of possible delivery services for parcels etc, but I do honestly feel that the general postal service...

That is very true. Whilst I agree that in many cases it is the perception of crime that has increased per head of poulation rather than real crime, I cannot fault what Joe-90 has said here. The Government need to either introduce tax incentives to companies to train up those in this country, or...

Is this not a question for the Police and Politicians to answer. I have no more an answer to this question than anyone else on the forum. I could hazard guesses and suggestion solutions, but I could be simply talking out of my derry air as I only know what I read and hear.

Oh Yawn...could you not see the rolling eyes, do you not understand sarcasm or humour of any description? You poor man, I will dig out my very small violin and play a tune for you. :lol:

That was lame :lol:
