When did women start shaving underarms and legs? Do you know? People, not only women, smelled because they didn't wash themselves, not because they didn't have antiperspirant! Having said that and despite all the progress, there are still some smelly places around... https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-01-20/these-are-worlds-real-shitholes-literally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aussie troops used the word "cobber" rather than mate in The Great War.

I wrote no such thing. I wrote, " the university I graduated from is ranked 21 in the world as is the Australian National University I assume you graduated from there?" I didn't go to school in Australia I said there was one school in Australia that was ranked as high as the school I went to in the USA. You have pointed out no historical inaccuracies that I posted. All you have done lied about my posting twice. Once about the school I went to and another about historical inaccuracies. I'd appreciate it if you would stop lying about my posts. As I said before point out any historical inaccuracies I have written and I will profusely apologize. Edited January 21, 2018 by amvet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outright lie. I didn't write anything historically inaccurate. I don't know what "post 22,347" is. Posts change numbers as posts are deleted like yours for violating TV policy. If you want to quote something best use quotes. Why would you care about my nationality? Race or national stereotyping easier than confronting the truth? I don't know why but you think I am Thai and somehow that insults me. Better if you stuck to facts and stop trying to insult people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenny2017 Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 According to the 2016 annual report by the Entertainment Association, the average gamer spends just under 7 hours a week playing video games. Thais might spend some more hours, who knows? This isn’t limited to just gaming companies, most companies do this. For example, Facebook pays you up to $500 for any bugs you find on their platform. http://moneypantry.com/paid-to-test-video-games/ Yes, it's weird to see people sitting at a table without communicating, but now I'm old and I'm telling my son that he's too long online, but posting here isn't any different. When I was his age, my parents told me that my music would be crazy. Were they right? Times are changing and so do people and I guess that we all have to live with it. All these times have a positive aspect for the people who live in it. But none of us will live forever. George Orwell was right about the cameras.

Not because of the music in itself, but because the generation that produced it, the baby boomers, is more and more recognized as one of the worst that ever lived (the banksters, W, the very stable genius...)! Obviously, our parents, from the previous, silent, generation, share a large responsibility for this sad situation.

Obviously, our parents, from the previous, silent, generation, share a large responsibility for this sad situation. Whole books have been and are written on that subject I see it more as an aspect in our evolution. Generations change because of changes in communications, language, etc. This used to be slow, because communication was slow and the bounds of a person within society was relatively fixed. The generation gaps were stable, but they were there. With increasing personal liberty, the fast evolution of technology and the increasing speed of communication language and attitudes follow suit. The generation gaps increases at the same time that lifespans get longer. I could probably hang in there with @amvet, but I feel no desire to, having never been extrovert enough to want to be in the public eye. I want to go ride a motorbike through Asia, alone or with a pillion rider of my own choice. Not in a group, I have never been a herd animal...

They are not talking nonsense, I expect you are confused between lifespan, which is the maximum length of life, and life expectancy, which is the average length of life. Lifespan of a human is 125 years and remains largely unchanged for the past 2000 years, while life expectancy is about 80 and has doubled in the same period.

I always prefer to use Socrates as an example as most people are confident he actually existed. Died age 71 in 399 BC, not of old age but executed. I'm 62 now, would be happy to make 65.
