You're a religious hipster.
    I wrote Laviria, a nickname for Laberia you would understand if you knew Albanian.

    Then we're in agreement.

    It depends on how the person with the belief defines a unicorn.

    My unicorn has magical abilities but loses its power if it has its horn cut off. My unicorn also flies.

    Anyway, I'm not interested in this conversation any longer. Lets agree to disagree.

    Same with Ebu Gogo: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ebu_gogo

    Myths about Ebu Gogo are distant memories of Homo Floresiensis:

    Depends on who is paying the Scientists. Or are they self funded.

    Oh, and then you have that very, very important question. Sure, science and the philosophy that undergirds it is ridiculous philosophically, but even from a sociological and psychological point of view it's ridiculous. You have to be really gullible to think that scientists aren't like ordinary people with ordinary vices and faults and to think that the moneyed wouldn't ever take advantage of any such flaws.

    I took quite a few, actually. I understand your method is to hide in the shadows and allow others to do your work because you can't go more than a couple of posts without faltering but have some dignity. No one is fooled.

    That's a very deep and insightful criticism of a very short post thrown out there. Where have you been the past few pages? We all missed out.

    You took quite a few, you say, but just like your Albanian language skills it just doesn't show.
