What Sort Of Fish Is It

[disorderly]

Aah! You've read him then? Who did build those buggers? They can't even slide a razor blade between the bricks of the Aztec ones And here's me, thousands of years later, with all the technology to hand, and I can't even get a rapala to swim straight

kev,it sounds like you have checked out Teotihuacan.Even some of the earlier Mayan stuff at Palenque,Tikal and Copan is fairly amazing considering the tools and resources available at the time.
As I look around from my perspective I see a damaged and perhaps dying world,largely caused by people with strong beliefs (be they religious ,capitalistic,moralistic or whatever) and realize that perhaps we as individuals need to be a little more open to change, sensitive to the needs of others and the planet and less moulded in our beliefs .

Did a lot of reading when I was younger Scott and yes, I agree with you that we need to be more open minded in our beliefs and also more accepting of others' beliefs and steer clear of dogma.

It's ironic, considering that this thread has gone right off topic (guilty m'lud), that we are now talking about Teotihuacan which collapsed due to drought and climate change and the civil unrest that followed...........have we really learned anything from the past?

What was this thread about again?

LOL...Its ok I know what type of fish they are now..

Coming from a farming family,kev, it was quite amazing to stand atop of the pyramids of the sun and moon at Teotihuacan after having seen drawings and mock ups of the lush surroundings of that era.(lush forests and fields of grain crops,vast fish-filled lakes and canal systems for irrigation.Virtually a land of plenty)and see the waste land that inevitably resulted.It's virtually became a desert,as you mentioned through climate change and civil unrest.Mismanagement also likely played a big part.Some think that the arrival of Cortez may have also hastened their demise.
Whatever happened it was not a good idea to join the local soccer team!

sorry Chezzy it would appear some of us non-religious types get a bit bored at these times of the year

Scott I agree with much of what you say. I can see that you strongly believe in it too.

Strong beliefs have caused both the best and worst things in this world.

I say believe what you want, and do what you want, as long as you dont screw up either people or planet along the way. Also - let others do the same too.

I like the mould I'm in.

Hi Mouldy Sea Dog,

I've never been against people and their ideals. I just find it difficult to fathom those hard core fanatics that cant accept that there may be a question mark over what they believe.Hell,everybody's religious belief's cant be right or wrong,can they!!
As you realise I have no real belief in God,my belief is in humanity that sooner or later we will realize we need a unified approach in order to enable the human race and the planet to survive.
Happy easter to you! (despite the fact I don't believe in it).

cheers Scott

So what do the dead people tell you about this date,shaman?

[Sea-Dog]

I think this thread is dying a slow and painful death - Let it go peacefully.

So what sort of fish was it in the end? I've forgotten.

This was originally a question about a fish wasn't it?

Mactuna..Was the fish ... Never tasted it, but seems people dont thinks its good eating, so I might Pass on it lol..
No more have turned up, yet..

[kingtin]

So what do the dead people tell you about this date,shaman?

That us live folk will swop places with 'em?

That we get a really close look at a bloody big asteroid?

That it's the end of the world as we know it............ie............it actually rains for longer than 3 minutes in Qld



The more likely scenario is that I get to catch something other than vermin............now that would be the end of the world as I know it!

[sambos]

Great waste of bait, cubes or burley!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i agree mate at least it would not be wasted

[szopen]

Thank's for the cooking link Kev.

With my first big ray caught on the weekend I have joined the ranks of verminators.

As per the fire use question a quick goole uncovered this:

So it looks like fire came with the first humans out of Africa.
