"Bronze Age Pompeii" Discovered

FortKnox writes "Italian archaeologists that were selling rights to build an underground parking lot, north of Pompeii, have discovered an ancient village within it. This discovery is a village that is basically a snapshot of the bronze age. The city, which is north of Vesuvius, was given the name "Nola". One odd thing, though, unlike Pompeii, they haven't found bodies in Nola. Good stuff to find, and a good place to compare theory with proof."

    If there was no previous reference to this village in all of Italian literature/history then one could guess that this may be the lost city of atlantis?
    For me, Atlantis has always been one of the most amazing tails ever told and i hope someday our "advanced" civilization solves the mystery!
    Heres to hopin!

    Consensual intergenerational experiences of younger people are often quite positive and beneficial for the participants, regardless of their ages. In contrast, non-consensual experiences, when the wishes of the youngster are disregarded, can be very damaging. These clearly are the lessons to be drawn from recent scientific studies of sexual experiences between men and boys. Studies conducted by victimologists and people who seek to regulate the sexual behavior of others have obscured and hidden these facts from the public.

    A major study of over 8,000 German youth who had been reported as "victims" in criminal cases was conducted by Michael Baurmann for the German state police agency (similar to the FBI in the US). Using the opinions of the youth, the opinions of experts, and standard psychological assessments, Baurmann found that none of the boys had been harmed. Boys under 14 years of age were between 10% and 15% of the total cases studied. However, other factors were at work in the experiences of girls. Click here for the English summary of Baurmann's findings.

    The outcomes of sexual experiences between adults and younger people primarily depend upon whether the sex was consensual. Also, sexual experiences are powerfully influenced by expectations and the attitudes toward sex which have been passed on to younger people by their parents and social environment. Rigidly anti-sexual attitudes and fears can predispose anyone to harm. Boys often approach sex with great interest and enthusiasm, so that their consensual sexual experiences are not harmful.

    Once sexual experiences have become known to others, secondary harm to youngsters can be induced by the reactions of parents, police, social workers, lawyers and other adults, where no apparent harm results from the sexual contact itself.

    If people are not taught to despise their bodies and fear sex, if their sexual choices are not forced on them by others, and if they are not subjected to harsh or stigmatizing reactions to their sexual choices and experiences, they will not be harmed by having sex, regardless of how old or young they are or with whom they have sex.

    Dear Anonymous Coward:

    I have recently read your post and have found that you are encouraging the usage and distrobution of a Bronze Age emmulator; a blatent infringement of MY copyright within my Divine Rule.

    Therefore, under my counsil of Superior Outright New Yearning US Association (SONY USA), we have placed a lawsuit on your company for copyright infringment. Since I am above all your mortal laws, I have already condemned you to the firey pits of hell for eternal damnnation since I don't have a need to get rich. Of course, your eternal damnnation can be reversed if you purchace a licence in any of my religions: Christianity (I go by "God/Jesus/Holy Spirit"), Judiasm (I go by "Yaweah"), Islam (I go by "Allah"). Usually this is a lifetime membership to the religions where doing such emmulation is unacceptable, anyway. So while I implore you to join to save your souls, I will ask you this one time to cease and desist distrobution of an emmulator of my Intelectual Property, because I have a monopoly on creation and the time-space continuum.

    Sincerely,
    God
