.....not know the difference between carnivores and omnivores? It's always struck me as odd for a man so wrapped up in language.
 
i can't believe he'd do that.

I know, he's well known for his in-depth political thought. Personally, I've started basing my life choices on his words. For some reason I now like foreigners less than I used to but that must be just a coincidence.

yeah, but can you list his albums? and if i asked you to, would you? if not, i'm gonna suspect that you're not a proper fan, despite your admirable - though, perhaps superficial - xenophobia.

could you elucidate ?

hullo again. yes, i could.

Omnivore doesn't sound as good. He also uses quite a bit of bad grammar, so did John Lennon... because it sounds better.

Fascinating!

Makes me wonder whether people with celiac disease have evolved closer toward omnivorous diet, rather than a herbivorous one. Or whether our features would have evolved more toward omnivorous ones if we hadn't invented fire and killing tools.

Maybe this is the wrong place to mention the study that came out a week or two ago that showed that the capacity for religious belief seems to indicate an evolutionary development that has favored the building of civilizations...

Perfect place to throw that in. Deference leads to civilization, certainly.

I am pretty sure that if it weren't for the capacity of religious belief, the egyptians would be like: "whaaaaa? pyramids? building a temple for you just because you're claiming to be a god? whateva!!"

The same for all these megalomaniac catholic churches. Lots of towns start with some ridiculous temple in the middle and gullible people around them, so that makes sense.
