[QUOTE="APGM, post: 6377659, member: 6699580"] Not so! Adventurers are not made of finer clay than other mortal men. What one man can do another may emulate equally well. That was the entirety of my point. Consider the American frontier during the westward expansion. Separated from settled lands by more than mere time and distance, individuals by necessity had to be capable of performing feats of engineering (windmills, housing, wells), agricultural cultivation (planting, nurturing, harvesting within appropriate times and conditions) medical treatment (you would have to foal your own livestock and help bear your young), carpentry (if you didn't bring, you wouldn't have it otherwise) all in addition to the skills necessary for basic survival and sustainability coupled with the fortitude and ability to fend off the many threats to lives and livelihoods they would doubtlessly encounter. Most sought to increase their odds by traveling in numbers, but there was no guarantee of success either way and they each knew individually their ultimate success would rely upon the strength of their own minds and hands. In any cataclysm you will find survivors, and their stories will delight you with the sheer indomitable spirit of our species. Specialization is for insects. As to the few of you whom objected to the language of my very mild rebuke. . .Take offense if you wish. Challenges come in many form: some are to your ego, some to your ability some may even be mortal. If you are honest you will admit there is something odd about individuals whom crave the excitement of contending with dragons, gods and great adversity but whither before mere words. You should know before you say anything further, the etymology of the word comes from the Greek and denotes individuals of common origin, their prejudice like that shown here, suggested a certain inherent ineptitude -specifically an unrefined intellect for such individuals were believed to be bankrupt of cultural currency and general education. What you identify as slander is in fact irony. The feeble arguments and ideas offered here were very much lacking, I found the word very applicable and I am saddened for those whom could not appreciate it. I say it with love and understanding because being human, and subject to the same flaws, foibles and imperfections of my brothers, I too am often an idiot. If there is a difference, I suppose, it is in that I would rather know when I am being an idiot. There are worse things to be I think, like a humorless prat in a position of nominal authority seeking to censor expression for the sake of protecting people from unkind ideas. [/QUOTE]
