Well mammals have all the brain look how we talked the comet into hitting earth and taking out the dinosaurs. That was our best hit took out 90% of the species in one shot ;-) That is why you are a lefty you just like being controlled. Oh the horror of it all, humans control everything and are killing the world. As one our members once said "the earth will be fine it will shake us off like a bunch of fleas".

And we're the only one with "sentience." Nature prefers non-sentience; it's a real fluke that we ever evolved. And no, I am not a "lefty:" I vote libertarian, not democrat, and I do not support the progressive arm of the democrats. Please make a note of it. |

It's the 6th mass extinction.

| rxwine Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 189 Posts: 18762 | I keep hearing (mostly Republicans AFAICT) that we should start imposing penalties. As far as I know, Russians are free to move their troops to their border just like any country. Unless it's a violation of some treaty/agreement it would just give Putin a legitimate reason to point out being wronged and perhaps more justification to invade. I don't know if he's going to invade or leave but I guess he sees no point of giving his play away until the last minute. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

In exchange, China, I mean the IOC, is allowing the Russian figure skater to compete, because, you know, she accidentally took her grandfathers medications. |

Meanwhile a chess player of Boris Spassky's caliber moves the chess pieces for Russian, while being opposed by ... uncle Joe? Hey Joe, the game is chess, not checkers. |

Of course, he is free to, and neighboring countries are free to monitor and evaluate that action. Especially when he has a history of sudden annexations. Its like this game that I play, Civilization 5 (better than 6), when you are playing against AI, and you start accumulating military units along an adjoining border they will start to send messages (Paraphrasing) , "Hey I hope you are not planning to attack my territory before you declare war, that would be troubling", and if you invade before declaring you get a larger warmonger penalty than declaring war first and every civilization will hate you for the rest of the game. This is actually a pretty good representation of real life. People get alarmed when there are troops on the border (especially more than usual), and get more alarmed (and then outraged) if action is taken without a formal declaration. Plenty of examples in recent memory and history of such scenarios. |
