[QUOTE]Originally posted by Supercar: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: Non Sequitir. I NEVER said I know everything about all cultures in Africa. [b]YOU said that.[/b][/QUOTE]I don't have to. Buddy, when you make claims such as "[b]Most[/b] African cultures', you have implied that you know almost all about African cultures. A person doesn't just make a casual claim of "Most", without knowing "most" African cultures. Now, lets have the specifics on these, or are you going to continue with these lame trolling tactics of yours, that we are now getting use to? [QUOTE]Doug M: And I get the impression that YOU think you do and it makes your head hurt to see someone else post something, which threatens your position as [b]CHIEF KNOW IT ALL OF AFRICA[/b][/QUOTE]Well, Miss Cleo, I am afraid that your attempt at psychological analysis has been exposed as one big scam and your time for such petty little mind games has long expired. But indeed, if we were to assume that there was really something to what you are daydreaming about above, certainly YOU are quite far from being that individual. What have you thus far produced that has been requested of you, and what of value have you presented in this entire thread, other than stalling tactics via ambiguous claims, presumably because you feel that folks here are dumb enough to be taken by your bogus claims, and then turning around and asking others to prove you wrong. People like yourself hide behind ambiguity, precisely because it makes you feel that you can dodge the specifics needed to expose your scams, scams that fool none other but yourself. [QUOTE]Doug M: Trust me I am much more humble than that.[/QUOTE]You are the last person who should be asking for the trust of another, when you continue to troll, after repeated requests for you to specify your claims. Trolls hide behind ambiguity, and then ask others to prove what it is that [i]THEY[/i] are being asked to specify and hence, prove or corroborate. That is not being humble, it is being a troll; plain and simple! [QUOTE]Doug M: I DO know enough to know that MOST did not build in stone, especially before and during the time of the Dynastic period in Egypt.[/QUOTE]We get it: You don't know what those "MOST" themselves are; but you know enough to know that "MOST" didn't do what you claim they didn't, during an unspecified timeframe or place, presumably some time "during the time of Dynastic Egypt". Now, this is the kind of logic that makes sense to only TROLLS! [QUOTE]Doug M: MY point still stands, unless you can prove otherwise. [/QUOTE]What point? We are still waiting for you to make a point! [QUOTE]Doug M: If you need to figure out what MOST means, then you NEED to stop asking me and CONSULT a dictionary, o wise one of Africa.[/QUOTE]You need to figure out what "specify" means, what "corroboration" means, what "Most" means, what "Africa" means, what "culture" means, before you can put those words together, and make claims on things you have no clue about, o trolling one of America. [QUOTE]NONE of the images you posted show scenes of daily life CARVED in stone like the Egyptians.[/QUOTE]NONE of them were intended to, but of course, it is a figment of your imagination. The point that needed to be taken home, was one about permanent structures in the said cultures, particularly stone. [QUOTE]Doug M: If so, please point it out.[/QUOTE]We can start, by going through the "Most African cultures" that you keep referring to, but have no idea what they are. If you do have an idea of what those are, we might be in the business of moving this discussion forward. But I won't hold my breath. [QUOTE]Doug M: I ONLY was comparing the DURABILITY of images carved in stone versus the NON DURABILITY of the ITEMS depicted. But, OF COURSE, now I have to show you the CHEMICAL make up of ALL items used in ALL African societies to SAY this right?[/QUOTE]Not a bad request that you made up yourself, but we don't expect you to be capable of living up to it. [QUOTE]Doug M: YOu come off as a pompous, egotistical, SELF appointed GATEKEEPER, as if someone HAS to go through you in order to be ALLOWED to state their opinions.[/QUOTE]I don't make opinions, I corroborate my claims, which is something you should try doing at any point in this discussion. Looks like you expose yourself as a baseless egotistical, self-deluding, [and it goes without saying] insignificant vile little troll as we go further with these exchanges. [QUOTE]Doug M: What are YOUR CREDENTIALS that allows you to spout so much NONSENSE.[/QUOTE]Likewise, I would like to know what you 'think' your credentials are, since you are incapable of knowing what they are, that allows you to assume that we aren't aware that you are troll. [QUOTE]Doug M: How many books have YOU written? How many times have you BEEN to Africa? How many African cultures can YOU name? How many African Cultures do you know in INTIMATE detail concerning language, culture and history?[/QUOTE]Interesting, these are the same things I've been meaning to find out about you. It is YOU who made the claim about "Most African cultures", and yet cannot even specify what these are, much less corroborate the wild claims you make about them! [QUOTE]Doug M: Pont being everyone on this board may not have the same level of knowledge, but that is the POINT of this board. If I KNEW everything already, I SURE wouldn't come here expecting to LEARN anything. You are just being ASININE for NO OTHER PURPOSE than just out of spite. NOTHING you are saying is making the least amount of sense, but I WILL make YOU UNDERSTAND the silliness of YOUR WAYS my son.[/QUOTE]Well, my daughter, what point have you made in this entire thread, other than to expose to the rest of us, that you are one laughable fraud and a troll? [QUOTE]Doug M: I know enough to know that your LOGIC is faulty.[/QUOTE]What logic of mine? We are trying to get to the bottom of YOUR claim about "Most African cultures". [QUOTE]Doug M: Yes, there were cultures in Africa that built in stone. HOWEVER, they are NOT in the MAJORITY. [/QUOTE]We've been waiting for you to tell us about the "MAJORITY" you keep nattering about, but don't seem to know what they are. [QUOTE]Doug M: You keep trying to TWIST this into something ELSE.[/QUOTE]When you are trolling, what is there for me to twist? [QUOTE]Doug M: SHOW me, in any way you can, HOW THESE cultures are the MAJORITY of African cultures from ANY period and YOU will win the prize.[/QUOTE]What we need from you, is not a 'prize', but actually answers pertaining to your claims! [QUOTE]Doug M: My point is that they ARE NOT and it certainly stands to reason that it is NOT necessary to NAME all of the ancient cultures that existed in Africa to prove it.[/QUOTE]Crackpots feel no need to corroborate or specify their claims; we understand. ;) [QUOTE]Doug M: [QUOTE]Supercar posted: Which Aksumite monument(s) are you referring to, and how is/are Aksumite monument(s) related to Egypt "anyway"? [/QUOTE]You posted a aksumite obelisk didnt you?[/QUOTE]Yes, and this has do to with Egypt, how? [QUOTE]Doug M: This obelisk is a representation IN STONE of wooden structures from Aksum. Therefore, a representation in stone of things from the daily life in Askum. I hope you understand why this is valuable, seeing as how wood is less durable than stone.[/QUOTE]How about answering the questions, which again pertain to your very own claims…recalling, [i]Which Aksumite monument(s) are you referring to, and how is/are Aksumite monument(s) related to Egypt "anyway"?[/i] [QUOTE]Doug M: Look at it this way, I believe that MOST cultures in Africa were hunter gatherers and pastorial nomads, who RARELY settled down LONG ENOUGH to build such structures.[/QUOTE]Which timeframes, which hunter gatherers and nomads are being referred, and how have they “rarely settled down long enough to build such structures”. More words but no material! [QUOTE]Doug M: All kidding and nonsense aside,[/QUOTE]Which we've been getting on your end, right... [QUOTE]Doug M: it depends on HOW you define a "culture". If you define a culture along the lines of a language family or broad collection of various ethnicities, then fine, that NARROWS the count to a smaller group. However, if you count cultures as small groupings of peoples with independent chiefs and different cultural practices, then the NUMBER can reach the ceiling. How do YOU define a culture? In my mind, the cultures of Africa could be made up of groups as small as a few thousand on up to hundreds of thousands. Many would go "under the radar" since they are so small. In THAT sense there probably TOO many to name.[/QUOTE]Good question about defining 'culture', which brings time and again, to those [i]"MOST African cultures"[/i] at the [i]"time of dynastic Egypt"[/i] that you keep blabbering about, but never specify them, much less corroborate your charges on them.
