USA, it's dominance is dying a death of a thousand cuts.

@ Ron Larson

That's more like it, that's the American perspective I'm used to.

It's a bit like how the UK used to dominate the world, the US has had it's turn, now it's Asia's time to lead, by the end of this century I'm confident this will be the case. The 3 Trillion dollar war in Iraq will be a ball and chain for America for generations to come.

Is it art? It all depends on the categorisations system you use. I can see how some can legitimately claim lice in ones hair as art.

I reckon if you had a pair of Salvidor Dali's undies with a skid mark, you'd promote them as valuable art, I would.
PS: It's a nice idea BTW. LOL

I just hope someone invents teabag shaped cigarettes. Lighting up a teabag to have with your cigarette tea would make you look really cool.

There is no reason to believe it's spear fishing, it could be holding that pole for many reasons. Just because some dill states it was spear fishing doesn't make it so.
Only the gullible will believe this story.

There's a new cause for a mental illness hitting the news every week, none of which, (given time) are correct and they are withdrawn at a later date.

I've read those World Health Organisation studies demonstrating recovery rates for schizophrenia in third world countries where antipsychotic medication was not used (80% recovery). I've also read the work of Loren R. Mosher, M.D., former Chief of the Center for Studies of Schizophrenia, National Institutes of Mental Health. He was getting recovery rates of 85% without the use of drugs. http://www.moshersoteria.com/

It's pretty clear to me most people can be talked through to recovery from schizophrenia. This doesn't sound like a disease to me. I think the medical approach has failed, toxic brain disabling drugs should not be used and all research/funding should focus on L Mosher's approach.

The Magnificent Seven is a Western.

The Seven Samurai is a Eastern.

I prefer unspoilt coastlines without eyesore buildings and secluded beaches with no sign of other humans. They're usually free to camp at too.

I'm looking at the way the gables are finished and I cant see any allowance made in the design for a hoist beam.
Architects do make really basic mistakes all the time.
Where I live, hoisting your furniture up a rope would entail a nightmare of health and safety issues. They wouldn't allow it if you lived on a public road (danger of injury to the public).

A furniture deliveryman's nightmare!!! My queen size bed goes up stairs.

I've drunk heaps of Kopi Luwak, it WAS cheap from the Indonesian shops. Now it's trendy and expensive. If you pay $100 for a cup of it, you will be disappointed and wonder what the fuss was about and wish you'd just bought a regular cheap cup of coffee.

Kopi Luwak used to be the same price as regular coffee, then it got trendy. I used to drink it everyday. Now I cant afford to.

Have people heard of the Hearing Voices Network? HVN's are starting up all over the world. People hear voices for all sorts of reasons, plenty of people that hear voices have no psychiatric diagnosis. Moreover Loren Mosher, M.D., former Chief of the Center for Studies of Schizophrenia, National Institutes of Mental Health setup the Soteria project and was curing so-called schizophrenia without drugs. The American Psychiatric Assocition cut his funding. Just like the HVN, Mosher focused on getting people who'd recovered from SZ to help guide other people through the experience. It worked, 85% success rate.

If you apply archeology to this proposition, you can detect this study is flawed. The categorisations system these psychologists are advocating are culturally specific, conducting the same study in different cultures will give you different outcomes.
