Interesting si++...but I would imagine the fact that the "farmers" were around tilling fields and planting seeds has a lot to do with it.  Rather than planting seeds, the "hunters" were out hunting.

Actually, I agree with Janissary here.  We have farmed salmon here, but it tastes horrible. We have almost made wild salmon extinct in CA with various wreckless policies, such as damning the rivers they need to spawn. For the last two years the commercial fishermen have not been allowed to fish salmon.  I really miss wild CA salmon.

We thought farming them would be good, but it is actually more harmful to the habitat.  We have to catch tons of other fish to feed them, then there is the problem of getting rid of their feces....all in all, it doesn´t work very well.  The same thing happened with abalone, They are almost extinct as well.  They are just hanging on.  We had amazing forrests of redwoods, but some people cut them all down in some places to sell the wood. Trees that took hundreds of years to grow....gone forever. What was planted in their place contaminated the ground making other species growth all but impossible....but those trees are fire hazards and not able to tolerate the weather changes here.

I hope the Environmental movement in Turkey grows before too much damage is done.

I love cougars, and wonder why, and how is it that beautiful animal´s name has been applied to older women looking for younger lovers???

It reminds me of a interview I heard with Dustin Hoffman some years ago.  He said; when he was a young man, all he could think about was sex.  In his mind were thoughts of how could he get the female into a sexual encounter with him. It didn´t even matter if he was really attracted to the female....now that he´s older it´s like having a monkey off his back, he could actually have a conversation and exchange ideas.

Males are also exploited in as much as they are expected to perform.....that can be a very daunting prospect.

Clever idea....

So, clicking on the FB link only posts a thumbnail on our own personal FB page....(if we have one)? 

What is the facebook icon under all the photos and columns?  I see it at the bottom of all the columns and all the photos.  Does that mean anyone can share anyone´s photo or column? Does this mean everyone has given free use copyright to their photos and other work so it can be posted other places by anyone?

Do you know the language in this section of forums is English? If you want a translation you should use the translation forum.

Of course any fraud perpetuated in a marriage contract invalidates the contract.  Paying for that deception with one´s life is too high a price IMHO. Then, one has to consider the fact that some of the ladies lives would be forfeit if lack of virginity were revealed....so it´s a conumdrum.

As for the virginity issue, it´s become a hideious tragedy of misunderstanding. While it is true all maidens do not bleed in the desired, or expected, manner, just what does medical science say is an appropriate amount of blood? The prospect of bleeding, and one´s blood amount being under scrutiny, is enough to put a real damper on any bride´s romantic bliss potential on their wedding night. 

Wouldn´t a trip to a doctor for verification be a better alternative? It seems there is a lot they can tell with an examination. Of course, that could open another can of worms also..(bribe potential?)

Some real education on the science of the issue seems very much in order. You know, a what´s what, where and how?

Nice to see you, where have you been lately?
