Quite frankly, I choose not to.
Bonmot,
choose not to answer, just an el-cheapo bailing out. Where's them costings I asked you about. Too embarrassed to tell those who pay for your dawdling in some research Lab ? Tell us what you've given us in return thus far. How long have you been doing research & for what & have you found anything yet ? You're pretty quick when it comes to belittling others. What have you done that you can feel reasonably pleased about.

>>Bonmot,

Damn straight. Are you really so uptight and conservative that you're going to bail on the argument because you're turned off by the idea of a bit of bum-fun? I'm shocked and dismayed. Apparently even the Left fascist Tory kunts these days.

>>choose not to answer, just an el-cheapo bailing out<<

Pot kettle black. Where's them raunchy history books I asked you about? Too embarrassed to admit how you have such an intimate knowledge of Olmec gay porn?

Cheers,

Tony

Excess is followed by collapse.
Indeed. Bonmot & Tony Lavis are living proof. Their inability to answer questions hence a degeneration of the thread into a senseless academic excuse come ridicule muddle.
Highly intelligent indeed.

On the subject of societal collapse and resilience, I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the seminal work of Karl Butzer, summarised in this article:

Butzer's findings are certainly worth pondering over.

Crikey, that article is almost as long as Jared Diamond’s book; ‘Collapse’!

Looks well worth reading though.

Thanks Loudmouth.
