    Humanity is inherently good and becomes selfish

    So Hobbes was correct in his assesment of the state of nature. Bellum omnium contra omnes: As I understand, you have been quite vocal in your defence of individual liberties. But if man is such a vile creature as you describe, then would it not be unwise to extend more freedoms to him, lest...

    xTreme feminism!

    I imagine these things might be easily arranged in a barracks environment. Just have your combat MOS women use the same facilities as the non-combat MOS women. No insurmountable obstacles that I can see. But I am thinking more about ground forces under field conditions, where such things as...

    xTreme feminism!

    Opening up combat roles for women who can pass the physical requirements seems like an appropriate step. But my understanding is that combat soldiers tend to carry a lot of heavy gear with them, some MOS's even more than others. It will be interesting to see the percentage of women who qualify...

    Me neither. And having it float isn't helping, either.

    I couldn't read the sign clearly enough to tell it was in english, though the white picket fence around the church strongly hinted at US origin. I didn't have much luck trying to google with that. After your picture narrowed it down to Alaska, finding the right church was rather simple, per your...

    Sorry if I was unclear: I found it out after I looked at your clue, as the logical path seems clear after that. That was some good thinking on your part, assuming I am correct in how you figured the answer out for yourself.

    Certainly, and I get it now when you posted it. And the logic stands to reason.

    The sideburns and the general clothing style are something I've seen in relation to the 19th century. Other than that, I've got nothing; it's a roadside statue of some guy, possibly somewhere in the United States.

    Ravenpoe Umm, the Cadillac Ranch? Hmm... Big Dipper is a part of Ursa Major (Big Bear), the building is a greek russian orthodox church which is the branch of christianity they have in Russia, and a national symbol often seen depicting Russia is the Russian Bear. So, obviously, that is the Holy...

    A big statue of a goose of some kind. Again, looking at the trees and seeing as it is a holiday photo, it could be in Canada like that previous indian statue, though that's just a stab in the dark. Beyond that, beats me, I haven't seen it. Could you give a clue?

    Pingualuit crater. Though I wouldn't have known without googling. And about Petra. In my opinion, Raiders of the Lost Ark was the only one of the movies worth watching. (Can you tell I'm pissed off I didn't get Petra immediately?)

    That is what I understood from your previous post. Witch as in Hekla. Personally I try not to look at filenames.Now one from me. Hint: sometimes they walked, sometimes they swam. You can't explain that.
