Look at domesticated animals — pets — and how their inability to fend for themselves has rendered them largely obese, lazy, dependent, and less curious. In this sense: are humans becoming domesticated by technology?

I am curious to know what a Persian ruler used to be called.
King? Emporer? Shah?

The month and the day come from nature, but the week is surely just a cultural construct? Why was it invented? Who invented it? Did old societies like Sumeria and Vedic India have a week? If so, was it a 7 day week?

No religious fundies, please, I HAVE read Genesis.

What were they called? What were their beliefs? How many were there? How were they treated?
Also, is it true that the Jews that stayed in that area, instead of being sold into slavery and whatever, and took up Arab or Christian beliefs are what make up the current "Palestine" population?

I love the gang initiation one, that if you see a car driving at night with their lights off and you flash your headlights at them in warning you will be shot.

The mayans propheised the end of the fifth sun era by December 2012. The Mayans are not apocalyptical about the end of this era, but they think will be a change in all human kind consences.

So the EUROPEANS brutally colonised and enforced slavery on the people because THEY (europeans) were the ones with the concept of things having ownership (i.e on land) and money and development. I have read things about the indigenous not legisising land and so the Europeans thought they could claim it as theirs because the indigenous had no papers.

I would just like someone basically to clarify if the indigenous who were taken into slavery had a concept of money and greed --- I mean especially for those who were born into slavery, they must have just thought that to live you need to work to have a home else you were killed... well you were killed anyway but wow this is horrible :(
