"(really who spends 135 quid on a beginner item, he must have been certain he would find something worth at least that value" so, you are saying that the only people who buy metal detectors are people who already found a treasure? Seems to be quite a limiting factor on sales. As some who has a metal detectors, I can assure you that I have no found hordes to cover up. In fact, the only horde I have ever found was only after invading a Dragons home and slaying said dragon. While eating Cheetos and Drinking Dr. Pepper.
", thereby proving trade contacts with $faraway_place" becasue THAT'S important.
This guy did the work, and now archaeologist want to take ti from him, take in from the land owners all to learn that maybe there is a place Romans traded with we don't know about.
Add to that the amount of context Archaeologist and 'experts' shove onto an item that is based on nothing is laughable.
".. invaluable find." to a couple of people, that will be put into a book read by about 100 people and no will ever think of it again. But hey, interesting by a few people is sure worth completely turning over someone s life, right?
Screw that. This 'it's history so you loose everything becasue of it' attitude is bullshit.
I'll let you in on a secret: Nothing we learn about the Romans will change a damn thing today. It's not really that important. We won't discover a new power source, we won't discover anything that changes out course in history, and we won't even learn everything new about the Romans beyond a piece of trivia.
Ah, another person talking about the Constitution who clearly has not read anything the founding fathers said on the topic he is talking about.
BTW, condemnation was brought to the US as part of the 'Common Law'. The constitution SPECIFICALLY allows for it. The cases for private ownership being allowed to take property goes back to 1832. None of the Justices you mention were alive in 1832 when that was established. So learn a little history before pretending to know something next time, please.
Whihc is a great way to risk loosing the treasure forever. I mean, Look a pound of ancient gold coins we can't keep. Lets melt them, form it into gold wire, and make 'jewelry'. Then just sell for weight.
Since the total gravity would now be stronger then each individual piece, how much would actually permanently escape? Seeing he we don't have any rings, I don't think that much would escape.
Teh shadow on the moon only proves the worl is round, or disk shaped, not spherical.
I know, I know, but take into consideration the lack of knowledge in other areas of orbital mechanics and math then yo see how my argumetn woudl hold up then.
I couldn't speak in front of people, so in High school I tool course to help me. Along with Math and sciences, and everything else. Had I been interested in economics, I wold have taken that instead. Do they not have electives and that school? My sons high school does.
No, not all negative behaviors is ADHD, but ADHD is a real thing. Not the result of bad parenting. You can tell the difference by how they act when ADHD isn't a factor in a particular situation.
"computing statistics in a genetic pool has never helped me in real life" I would be surprised if that is actually true. You have never applies statistics to anything in your life? never had a set of data and used that to figure out a likely outcome?
I apply that almost every day. from which line is likely to move faster, to what card I am likely to pull out of the deck, to traffic routes to..well a lot of things. Hell, sometime my friends and kids think I'm some kind of psychic*. Of course, I then explain to them how I new a particular outcome was likely.
But everyone can use the basic thinking and skill you learn in science. I can not imagine how hard it must be for people who don't apply algebra and chemistry at least a few time a month to their regular lives.
Math, Science and engineering help with any other field anyone chooses to go into. He used Chemistry, but he was talking about science. Learning chemistry can help someone understand why Vitamin C can't cure a cold, why homeopathy doesn't work, and make sit harder to be suckered by marketing.
On the negative you end up working with people who didn't take it and have to listen to the yammer about some damn magic potion or amulet that's going to help them/concentrate/cure/be stronger and it will drive you mad.
Science teaches critical thinking, understanding data, and doing things with your hands. Science isn't a natural way to think, it takes training. It teaches you how do deconstruct and learn. Everything that person goes on to do benefits from science. Weather it's public speaking, Art, or anything, really. It's also one of the things most children will never get exposed to in the home.
"What would you expect from the, "My client is innocent" crowd. " ?? So being blamed equals guilt and people wanting to defend there innocent are wrong to do so? Are you stupid?
" No acts of vigilantism have been carried out"
Yes they have. Vigilante doesn't just mean violent punishment.
"But does she really have anyone to blame but herself? " Of course, the guy who bullied her.
"Seriously, some random guy on the Internet asks her to show her tits and she does it? Really??" no, not really,.. There as far more to it then that.
" People get bullied every day in school and we just expect that." no we don't. If anything you highlight medias compliance with bulling. It's not right, and should be highlighted when ever it happens online or in meatspace. People are easy to manipulate and children have very little or no experience dealing with the raw emotion they feel.
In some cases it worse. A bullied child will be upset and crying. The bullied child gets extracted from the class, the buillies win. ' I have seen this is school after school clubs. The victim is doing something they are excited about, gets bullied and the victim can no longer attend the class.
I had a teacher try to tell me "kid's will be kids", but before she finished uttering the sentence, I knocks all her pencils off her desk. "Hey, people will be people". To her credit, she got the point.

" for archaeological purposes"
No sir, I planned to destroy it using a bulldozer, clearly not an archaeological purposes
"but too many amature treasure hunters have fucked up sites."
So? Maybe we should stopping idolizing the past and focus on the future?
Sweet, as I kid I built metal detecting shoes. Time for that to pay off!

Since the vast removal or proerty right in the US were NOT done by liberals, I think you might want to STFU before looking even more stupid.
The rest of your post is nonsense as well. They only thing more incorrect then your post, is your sig.
Seriously, you are stupid and factually wrong. I just thought someone should let you know so you can work on that.

Yes, bad parenting can make genetic changes.

When someone doesn't understand something, the make fun of it.
