What Do We Think About Climate Change

Sorry Per, I don't think any more (or less), just let it happen....

 

if you own your boat (and live on it ) is it yours??? as far as i know we dont have to pay to live on the water?? only have to pay to use the facilities on the land?? ( i could be wrong?)

the powers may own the land but id like to think that the water if free...

 

As far as I can find out it mostly still is "free to sail over" in most places to a greater or lesser degree (buoys and lights fees in SI where there are none but the fees are still required)...

 

Mmmm a good one that,-- ille have to show that to the marina manager.

 

Frosty as the man said youmay own the boat! he owns the wall!!

 

in all nomadic cultures owning land (or shoreline, or what have you) was never an issue. They would strip an area of food and then pack up and to a new area to harvest. Owning things only slowed you down, risked your survival, property is a liability. The faster you can harvest and move out, the more likely you are to survive.

With agriculture owning land became important, the more good land you owned the more food (resources) you controlled. Property becomes an asset. So the idea of owning land is only important if it is a source of power and survival. So there had to be a way of defining who owned it (a title) and where it is located (and how big it is), with a boundary survey. George Washington was a land survey in a new land, where the local population (nomads) had no sense of ownership. The land was valuable to the Europeans, not to the natives.

Arabs were once all nomads (vast lands to wander around in with little resources available), until they discovered there was oil under all that sand, and there was a market for it. So who owned and controlled that otherwise useless land became important (and worth fighting over).

If you blow about with the wind in your sailboat, and get all your food from the open ocean, than the only possession worth owning is a good sailboat and a fishing pole. And let all of the Hummer owners fight over the oil rich lands.

 

Well said Petros, and may all the "hummer" owners suffer the fate they demand...?

 

ahhh the good ol'e hum vee a lol, great looking 4x4s, even drove one once , but would never want to own one, be to damm scared of hitting anything, (esp on nz roads as they arnt the widest ). give me a good vespa anyday lol

 

Large 4x4's SUV's and even the toyota etc landcruiser should be TAXED off the roads, when the mamas get hold of one they are a positive menace and arrogance, Just try to park your small sensible fuel efficient car near the school to pick up your kids or whatever - the agression, language and attitude would make a battle hardened soldier feel weak.... and they can't drive for **** either.....

 

They try and run me over all the time... they look across the top of my car.

 

we could always follow the sheep and go buy one ourselves and join in on the fun lol

 

Can you ride a sheep?-----, No I don't mean like that, I mean sit on it, or get a few of them and get them to pull a cart like Ben Hur did.

You dont need to have swords sticking out of the wheels or anything just sensible transport.

 

Hmm, sword sticking out of the wheel base, sounds sensible to me.....

 

i can try lol.. i know of a few sheep farmers who may let me play for awile lololo

 

Brian,

How about a really hard driving test before sheilas are allowed to drive 4x4 vehicles? That should reduce the numbers outside the schools. Also, put stickers on the SUVs that illustrate big vehicles are substitutes for large hairy testicles. BTW, it's the catholic schools mothers who are the most brain dead at the wheel. Too many kids to get ready, means they are always late and so they drive without due care and attention. What's worse is they are so FAT & UGLY.

In earlier times, kids had to walk 5 miles to school and back each day. The classes got smaller as wild animals took their toll, so only the quickest and smartest survived. This ensured very good pass marks for sport and science (evolution) exam results

I trust all who read this are openminded.:idea:
