    Especially in north America and barbarian parts of the old world. It would be tough to get anyone to wait for the harvest, tho.

     

    I'd place a priority on domesticating rabbits and chickens or whatever fowl I could find. A handful of rabbits in a hutch would produce enough meat and free up my time to be a farmer. It would take months for vegetables and years for vineyards and orchards. But, it would be worth it.

    ummm how do you think we learned to grow Corn (A plant native to Mexico)?

    the ag revolution played out independently in North America and Asia aswell. 

    namely mid continent North America and the Asian steppe/Yangtze valley. 

    That was all low yield farming tho, they were vulnerable to droughts and famine/crop failure.

    what makes you valuable is high yield farming that could support a moderate population

    for 2 years off one crop season. that and better irrigation practices, the practices back than were on par with that of

    sub saharan africa today.

    Industry is another thing that makes you valuable,  

    I don't understand one thing.

    By this logic, fanny would have to be filtered.

     

    Which would be HILARIOUS.

    Somebody gets it! Thank you :)

    What I was saying is alot of communities filter Ass, but not Arse, Fanny, Backside, rear end etc. I guess this could be extended to other words aswell. I intended this also to be a discussion of filtered words in general. alot of what we have filtered aren't bad words at all. What I'm getting here is we're filtering words because they SOUND vulgar when in other contexts they're not vulgar at all. in your points of view what should constitute a vulgar word?

    I don't understand one thing.

    How come on forums like this, Ass is a bad word and is usually filtered but Arse is allowed when they mean exactly the same thing? I mean wouldn't it make sense to filter US cusswords and their UK english counterparts (ie filtering both Ass and Arse) since you could sidestep the word filter by simply using the UK spelling?

    what prompted this was Ozon3 getting busted for using the word Ass and confusing the word filer, but numerous posters have used Arse (Which isn't filtered at all). 

    I feel the word filter should be expanded to cover the UK spellings of swear words. 

    discuss.

    It says 2000BC, not 80000000BC

    my bad, anyway back than, things weren't fished to death, which meant they could grow to full size. that means you might find yourself in the middle of a school of 200 pound Northern Pikes or if you're an unlucky chap and end up in an amazon paleochannel, 60 pound piranhas. basically end up in any river you're likely to receive an ass kicking :P

    American made rivers are more reliable.

    If you're like 90% of us you live in a flood plain. you're going back before dikes and levees were build, so depending on the time of year you may land square in the middie of a flood. even though the land animals back than were quite harmless for the most part, the marine life on the other hand...lets just say you might meet Mr Xiphactinus and he's a rather nasty fellow :P

    It would be a bit tougher. You would need strong survival skills.

     

    You'd be ok if you can: make fire, make shelter, catch/gather food, find water, other stuff that's less critical.

     

    There's a creek a 5 minute walk. But, I'd go to the river 3 miles away on day 2.

     

    I have a lighter to make fire.

     

    I know how to snare animals.

     

    Shelter is easy.

     

    The natives will either accept me or kill me. There's risk in the modern world, too. We just expect the government to handle those risks for us.

    that river follows a different course in 2,000 BC what you'd need is a map of the paleo-channels in your area, that's where your river is.
