Ela James Posted September 3, 2013 Author Share Posted September 3, 2013 From Wikipedia: “ There is a controversial tendency to use the term "civilized" in a less strict way, to mean approximately the same thing as "culture" and therefore, the term can more broadly refer to any important and clearly defined human society.[3] Still, even when used in this second sense, the word is often restricted to apply only to societies that have a certain set of characteristics, especially the founding of cities.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mecky Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 What makes a world civilised? I would say tolerance, which is sadly lacking in most people today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your tolerance of all things blue is a lesson to us all. ---------- Post added 04-09-2013 at 17:03 ---------- Just words. In reality everybody laughs at Flanders types. I would be most grateful if you could find time from your busy schedule to explain what a "Flanders Type" is.

Eccentric Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Having quondam lived in Flanders for about a 25-year-period, I do certainly laugh about it. It’s risible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
