IsisGreen In the UK there was football (soccer). Then during a game at Rugby school William Webb-Ellis picked up the ball and ran with it. People tackled him. Out of that a new game was formed: Rugby Football, which became the sport we play as rugby today.

IsisGreen The most corrupt country is actually Somalia (according to Transparency International), but you're right Indonesia does pretty badly too.

IsisGreen But the "too many people" part does spark some very difficult policy questions. There have been a few - such as Jonathan Poritt - who've come out and said that population growth is the underlying problem here. It stands to reason: more people use more stuff...

IsisGreen At a slight stretch you could consider the Bush doctrine of actively spreading "freedom and democracy" around the world (as opposed to the Bush doctrine of preemptive strike) to be a form of colonialism.

IsisGreen Gewcew23: "since most Muslims are Arabs". This statement is very wrong. About 80% of Muslims in the world live elsewhere than Arab countries. To give you an illustration, the three largest Muslim populations are in Indonesia (200 million), Pakistan...

IsisGreen Reading between the lines a bit here, your understanding is that "the single most efficient way to combat & reverse global warming" is to cease eating meat. (Is that right?) It's not a bad idea in principle. Meat production is certainly very carbon...

IsisGreen I see plenty of love in the parents-to-be who want so much to have a child that they seek out a donor to overcome their own unfortunate biological shortcomings.

Usually, i wonder a lot about who made humans? God? Or maybe we are the intelligent version of the monkeys? Who made us? what do you think? Do you ever think about it?

IsisGreen When do you think this happened? To clarify, do you think humans were put on the earth (by God) looking pretty much how we do today?
