POPSThe Code of Hammurabi Hammurabi (ruled ca. 1796 BC – 1750 BC) believed that he was chosen by the gods to deliver the law to his people. The Code of Hammurabi was one of several sets of laws in the Ancient Near East. Most of these codes come from similar cultures and racial groups in a relatively small geographical area, and they have passages which resemble each other. The earlier Code of Ur-Nammu (21st century BC), the Hittite laws (ca. 1300 BC), and Mosaic Law (traditionally ca. 1400 BC under Moses), all contain statutes that bear at least passing resemblance to those in the Code of Hammurabi and other codices from the same geographic area. The complete text of Hammurabi's Code of Laws. http://eawc.evansville.edu/anthology/hammurabi.htm. Quite shocking. The photographs were taken at the Louvre Museum in Paris. Invictus has a clip on Hammurabi: http://clipmarks.com/clipmark/92611450-2366-40A4-8825-C9287250A843/

POPSCan We See Into the Future? Fact or myth? I find this stuff fascinating. When I checked out the display at Princeton, it was beeping and gonging like crazy. I wonder if that's a bad sign? :eek: http://noosphere.princeton.edu/bsktobsrv/nishith/basketobserver.html

POPS% of population w/less than 9 years of Education I am surprise by the number in my state , it's sad. By no means does education is cut for everybody for reason unknown to us. IMO they must at least have a high school education . I have seen my people with a high school diploma and become a highly successful citizens of the communities. My guess is finish high school aim for the best at what you like to do, if you failed at least you are still good. As the saying goes you only need to be a step ahead to beat the crowd. I have a small business and I am going to judge you on what you can do and getting along with people then purely on Education alone.

POPSHypothetical Scenario: Love and Death My view is to take it and run. IMO it is better to have and love someone even for a short time then living without love. After the death of my partner, I will understand love and live a blissful life or a miserable SOB but I still retain the understanding of LOVE. So I will take IT>>>>>>>

POPSShould XXX sites have to use a .XXX domain name? Once again a report shows why we can not legislate proper behavior. I personally think that an XXX domain would be a great way for all pornographers to have their own home on the web place to gather. But like other legislation of this nature it would be worthless to attempt if they are going to allow the porn industry to continue to cloak itself in the .com world to appear legitimate. Those who wish to seek out this type of "entertainment" will find it no matter where it resides in the community. Therefore creating a virtual "Red Light District" would probably work as well as prohibition did. This one certainly belongs in the LOONY BIN.
