It is confirmed : 4.9 Richeter scale, and it was 19 Km near my House.Until now no damages, I hope it stays the same.I'm very nervous because I expected it, the last time was two years ago and since Algeria is a place very unstable I expected an earth quack this year, but not this moment and surely not in Ramadan, it was too much surprising at very very scary.

hopefully it's gone now.

Good thing you're alright and I hope other people are as well.

There is nothing weird or Lamarckian about my ideas. 1. Is incest wide spread? No. Check the HRAF database. The worlds biggest database on ethnographic, historical and anthropological material. 2. Is incest avoidance universal? Yes. Check Donald Brown's world renowned scietific list of human universals. Google is your friend. 3. Is the work of Debra Lieberman a - mere possibility? No, it is amongst the finest work in psychology the last decade and is also thus regarded among scientists. It is an empirical work that doesnt rely on a 'gene' for anything. That is a pure strawman attack. Instead, google Westermarck hypotheses if you want to know the mechanism in which pur brain deciphers our 'kin'. You don't need a gene. You have genes that build brains, brains that have computatinal algorithms. Algorithms that - yes - install an avoidance mechanism. Just because the mechanism is fast and frugal doesnt mean it cannot make errors. Some people actually live a sibling in a sexual way. This does not falsify the hypotheses. 4. You said avoidance of homosexuals ..... So i wanted to joke actually that the only reason to avoid them is to not get your butt hurt. Do we have a gene for homosexuality. No. It is an epigenetic thing. Somethingi expalined in here a long time ago. hutcho found it boring :-) so i will not repeat. 5. Is my reasoning Lamarckianist? No. That is quite the insult :-). It is a purely adaptationist way of thinking. One in which you use teleological language, but that is standard in the field. Enough of this. I get annoyed. Ps: ow ..... I just finished my last two days at work debatig evolution against fundamentalistic mulsims. So excuse me I dont feel all that happy about the subject. I am in the mood for some religion bashing though. Who takes it up? My tolerance level for dogmatic stupidity has reached a new low. Try me. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

Larrikin is a good thing, I guess. And hope.

Not really. It means a hoodlum, a hooligan.

What does the portugese mean btw?

Doravante, propala-te em vernáculo inteligível, por obséquio. Grato.

I thought it meant someone who's always joking and doesn't take anything seriously from the little research I did. Not that I would care being a hooligan.

Ontem = yesterday; Amanhã = tomorrow.

That reminds me of a brazilian band whose song titles always go by temporal adverbs like "yesterday", "the day before yesterday", "last week" or "one minute to the end of the world" and so on.
