Ahhhh yes well this whole thing is turning into a joke & not looking good for Beijing.
Some very unhappy family members associated with the mens cycling.
Hands up those who saw a spectator besides the rent a crowds?

And its been revealed that some of the opening ceremony was faked for tv broadcasting.

Australia also getting is lack of coverage in events we want to see.



From what I read, they only CG'd parts that were deemed too dangerous to film with helicopter fly-bys, so they prepared it before-hand. *shrugs*

It's uploaded my finished units and downloaded some new ones, but it's got a lot of "download pendings" that aren't going anywhere. But it looks like things are getting close to green. =)

The thing that jumps out at me the most about this discussion is the assumption that life and intelligence will evolve and develop on other planets at the same rate it did here.

There are SO many things that can happen to a planet! Someone mentioned the dinosaurs.... If they hadn't been wiped out, who knows what they might have become? We never would have existed and Earth could be covered with super-intelligent lizards that could quite possibly be the kind of civilization we're looking for. But they DID die, and so everything started over.

And then there's things like the Dark Ages. We went through an awful period of almost no scientific advancement. If that hadn't happened, we could be several hundred years ahead of where we are now.

Also, on the flip side, life could develop much more slowly somewhere else. Just last night I read an old short story called "Glacial", basically about glaciers that were developing intelligence. It was developing so slowly that it was all but unrecognizable in a human lifetime.


It just doesn't make any sense to me to use our development as a "rule" to gauge what might be out there. I realize we don't have anything to go on, but there are too many variables. I doubt there is any standard rate of progress or any such thing.


And Sparrow, about "what version of history is he reading".... Unfortunately, the stuff poured into the brains of American students. :/ Everything concerning Native Americans in those textbooks is horribly one-sided.
