the comments on the bottom of the article are more intersting than the article !! seems people will fight about anything

Really? I've only noticed that people fight under certain conditions:

1. The drop of a hat
2. Events pertaining to athletes / teams / schools
3. Geography (usually someone else's)
4. computer / OS choices
5. Miscellaneous (when the reasons can't be discerned in the torrent of incoherence

Not that anything like that ever happens here on FR, of course. ;')

You are right about the comments. The article did not even mention directly or indirectly what the comments are fighting about. In a different vein, and perhaps also controversial, I have been reading The Blade and the Chalice about how central asian nomadic invaders conquered the relatively peaceful settlers in Central Europe in successive waves from around 4,000 to 1,000 BC. In the process they seem to have overthrown the matrilineal peoples and Goddesses, and imposed patrilineal authoritarian societies and Gods. The Mycenean period was affected by the Dorian invaders/conquerers, and it seems the Crete and Cyprus islands may have been able to hold on to the old religions (female centric) longer than the mainlands.
