Re: When not to give the ol' "thumbs up"
Despite all the good efforts of ten generations of Englishmen abroad attempting to convey the basics of civilised behaviour to the natives, bloody foriegners still persist in their own bizarre meanings for simple sign language.

Cum dilectione hominum et odio vitiorum
Love the Sinner but not the Sin.
(St. Augustine)
“ For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against Principalities, against Powers,
against the Rulers of the Darkness of this world, against Spiritual Wickedness in high places. “
(and within ourselves)
(Ephesians 6:12 (KJV)
A Feminist is a human being who has lost her way and turned vicious.
If you meet one on the road as you Go your Own Way,
offer kindness but keep your sword drawn.

Re: When not to give the ol' "thumbs up"
I can remember some intellectual dick smoke claiming that Greece was the birthplace of democracy. To this day, Greece is still a shit hole. If that isn't proof that democracy fails then I don't know what to tell you. Quote from Bmiricle
As for the stunted, toothless, wig wearing posers from England, they weren't as educated nor as civilized as the flattering historians would have you believe.
Greed is for amateurs.
Knowledge without wisdom is a load of books on the back of an ass.
Scorn and mockery towards men in need is one of the reasons feminism is dying as we speak!.

Re: When not to give the ol' "thumbs up"
I think it was more like the first recorded history. But no one really cares about Greece after it became more than just a group of city-states. Quote from Zuberi
Is this how you want to go down?
Right before my eyes you are the saddest sight I know
You're quiet, you never make a sound
But here inside my mind, you are the loudest one I know
-Quote, by Evans Blue
Turn and tremble, be judgemental
Ignorant to all the symbols
Blind the face with beauty paste
Eventually you'll one day know
-Wasteland, by 10 Years
I never knew I was able to ever feel this strong
Take me off your worry list, it'll be better that way
I'm really fine and there's nothing we haven't talked about
-The Worry List, by Blue October
