Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 14093935 United States 05/25/2012 07:04 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | When the Roman Colonia (Forward military forts) were planted on the outskirts of the empire, it was their duty to colonize and conquer the tribes around them. Those tribes then had to pay "tribute". Londinium was a Colonia...its now called the city of london. In 1604 a corporation was formed in england called the Virginia Company. It was granted two charters by the king of england to establish two new Colonia (colonies) in the Americas. The first was Jamestown in the south, the second was Plymouth in the North. The Plymouth colony later formed an confederation with its neighboring new england colonies and named it THE UNITED COLONIES in 1643. In 1776 the UNITED COLONIES changed its name to the UNITED STATES. The North went to war against the south in 1861, and the south was defeated. After the war, in 1871 a new unified constitution was issued. Later a system of tribute was instilled that must be paid by the conquered to Great Britian, the original source of the Virgina companies charter. It is still paid to this very day. |

It having pleased the Divine Providence to dispose the hearts of the most serene and most potent Prince George the Third, by the grace of God, king of Great Britain, France, and Ireland, defender of the faith, duke of Brunswick and Lunebourg, arch- treasurer and prince elector of the Holy Roman Empire etc., Note that France lent money to the Colonies to fight the British. George III was King of Great Britain AND France. So he paid for a war against himself? Sounds kinda weird, huh? Note he is also the arch-treasurer and Prince Elector of............dun dun DUNN. the Holy Roman Empire. And then HE dictates the terms of peace at the end of the "war"? Since when does the LOSER of a war get to dictate the terms of his own surrender? The three wings of the Roman empire are the Vatican, the City of London, and Washington DC. All three are NOT part of the countries they are in, and all three have huge Egyptian obelisks. It's true, the Empire never fell... |

And British law is based on Roman, Salic and English Common. But I have a string suspicion that legally speaking EC is virtually irrelevant in terms of the others. That breakaway seems to have been part of a pattern by Germanic royal lines to reject the absolute power of the Pope to appoint and control kings. But again I have a suspicion that legally speaking that doesn't matter much either, on the principle that He who has the gold makes the rules. |

Or one could say the face is a mask to hide the self...or maybe to conceal the true form. You can take off a mask, can you take of a self, and have a no-self Per in Latin, meaning “through, across, over; beyond, by means of” Sona in Latin, meaning to mean “sound, that which is heard; noise” ARe you a person, a mask or something else? Sound is simply a wave, like light, so maybe light could also be interpreted as being heard, meaning sensed(through the senses). You would still be you if you were in another form, wouldn't you? So person could also be described as the form through which something is sensed(either real or not real). As people personalise many things, including inanimate objects, animate objects, also ideas and concepts can be personalised. The form through which I sense you is code, or the Word, symbols on a screen, you've communicated through the form(the word), with the way you have 'structured your form'(the mask, the word). I have sensed your form, your person, seems your form is not a person until I sense it, and with the way your form is structured, I now have in-form-ation about you, i've named that in-form the name you have given your form. |
