Absolutely, preferably a selection with the option of a Tunnock's tea cake - for a bit of class like.

civ·i·li·za·tion (n.) An advanced state of intellectual, cultural, and material development in human society, marked by progress in the arts and sciences, the extensive use of record-keeping, including writing, and the appearance of complex political and social institutions.

So basically, if people can read and write, they can murder and still be civilized.

Your interpretation skills appear somewhat basic.

Which kind of civilized are you thinking of, the eats-with-the-right-fork-pip-pip civilized, or the generally-good-for-society-good-bloke civilized? (Or maybe the reads-writes-speaks civilized?)

The ability to take other people's feelings into consideration.
To be able to deal with explosive/uncomfortable situations without losing respect for oneself and others.

The ability to use teh interweb.

Something I've yet to learn.

How do I get the Post Quick Reply shortcut, alt+S to work in FFox? When I press Alt+S, the history tab of Ffox pops open:dabs:

Indeed, any time someone posts anally retentive, quasi intellectual, pseudo religious, trite soundbites I feel compelled to start a poll about it.

Maybe it's just me.

FFS ..you never do it for me!

Anyway..two quotes here:

"I think it would be a good idea. "
Mahatma Gandhi, when asked what he thought of Western civilization


America is the only country that went from barbarism to decadence without civilization in between. Oscar Wilde

Definitely having the internets. Then the world-wide interweb can teach one about morals... maybe (or was it p0rn?). But we're a dying breed anyways so f*ck it! :P
