i never knew him, but heard of him, and anyone with such a condition, or even a dwindling limit to their life who gives so much to a group of people without asking for anything in return has earnt more than mere words can describe. RIP alduron, and may your journey never end.

actually, if america had never been colonised, england would probably still be an empire, as the american civil war was what sparked the withdrawl/revolts in the other corners of the empire. since the majority of those inventions were invented by people who are descendants of colonists, and who probably would've either still been born in another part of english empire, or since most of these inventions are logical follow ons to someone elses work, or even just one induvidual finishing off someone else's project, human technology would still have advanced at the same pace. claiming that these inventions only exist because they were made in the usa is simply ridiculous verging on stupidity. however i agree with what a few people have said, about how the world would be politically and border wise if america didn't exist. the simple fact that europe, the uk and the africas could've become a much closer group of countries, if not one induvidual nation. out of pure neccesity of being so close together. and ok, if we entertain the thought that these people only invented what they did because of the fact they were in america. then lets consider what your responsible for negatively as well. NUCLEAR WEAPONS. i guess its easy for you to say oh look at all the amazing things that have happened on our soil. lets look over the fact that the american initiative to create nuclear weapons is the start of the single greatest world relations catastrophe ever. however, all of this aside, anybody trying to second guess how history would've played out if a certian continent, country, leader, or government had never existed is ridiculous and fruitless. you'll never find out, theres no way to test each theory, and all its going to do is start arguments about how important countries are to the development of the human race.

latest concerts where pendulum last year, at brixton, before i moved to canada, and i went to holland with a few friends in feb to see florence and the machine. i love gigs, i just wish i could get more time off work that coincides with good gigs. on a side note, to any aussie's out there, whatever happened to killing hiedi? i went to see them on their debut tour, loved em, grabbed all 3 of their discs last time i was in the upside down land, (ilu btw, so retiring there), but i can't find anything about them now, except a few vague mentions of ella having vocal chord problems. but i thought that was before their last album.

indeed, but as i said, it would an extremely sick joke of nature if were the only advanced biological lifeforms.

the chance of there not being thousands, if not millions of other populated planets among the countless billions upon billions of planets out there amongst our 100 bilion plus galaxies is so stupidly small, it'd be a cruel joke of nature if we're the only advanced biological lifeform out there. the chance of this life having evolved into a form resembling our own is however roughly the same, there are so many minute differences in the evolutionary chain from the single celled organism that life must start out as, its just imposible that many of these worlds have actually evolved a humanoid lifeform that has then survived. and as for people saying well why would aliens come along and throw us into oblivion for our small, crowded planet, well because the opposite would require morals, and morals are a very human thoght pattern.
