What I find interesting is that South Africa out ranks us in beer drink. You guys are at 12 and we are at 21. What is more surprising is China is number one, with the US coming second.

I had dogs when I lived in Houston and occasionally they would hear something early in the morning when everybody is sleeping. When they barked you could hear them a mile away. I have to get up get the gun and flashlight. Go outside, and nothing, absolutely nothing. It might have been as simple as a neighbor coming home late from work.
They were barking their asses off, waking up everyone in the neighborhood for no damn reason, just barking. Darling, if you are going to respond back at least say something.
Don’t get me wrong I love you but don’t just be barking and howling at the moon.
I didn`t know you lived next to Wolverine. Go tell him to stop barking and howling and keeping people up over nothing.

Is that total consumption, or is that per capita?

If total consumption, that makes sense. You and my countries are little peewee countries. We have 49 million people, you guys probably half that. China have more than a billion people, America more than 300,000 million. Logically, they will drink more AS NATIONS. Per capita, we should give them a run.

Also, how do they define 'beer'?

Here, we drink Lagers mostly, and some English bitter.

It's consumption, so we are probably both close to number one Bahahaha

It's not specific about a definition of 'beer'. From the numbers they probably just generalising.

I Have you ever thought about the design of Noah’s Ark? It looks almost identical to a ocean going ship’s life/escape boat. Fascinating when you think about it.
And is very unseaworthy. Did you notice the replica they built, is built on a barge so it wouldn`t sink. Not only is it not large enough for every animal and all the animals food, it just is NOT seaworthy.

Just please tell me, what did all the carnivors eat on the ark?

They just add to our lifestyle, it is never boring and they don't depress us. They remind us not to become complacent.

Then again, maybe they don't! What manifestations are you talking about anyway? Revelations....show proof of just one, just one.
I don't think I'm terribly unique and yes we are all tiny specks in a very large universe. What's your point? It's the cristians who think they are so special that they can walk on streets of gold for all eternity. When it comes to feeble minds, speak only for yourself.
Atheists are thick, how in hell would you/could you not believe in anything!!!? I suppose you believe in your fast car/or the woman/man you married. When these things fail an atheist is a prime candidate to kill himself over these things.

On your Gold Coast, you got nice weather. The rest of the country is a bit too much like a desert, isn't it?

The Netherlands is responsible for a biased and inept investigation into the death of Natalie Holloway in 2005. Their corrupt Judges and Police sided with Joran Vandersloot in the investigation of a missing 18 year old girl.
Because the Netherlands allowed this freak to go free another young woman was killed at the hands of Joran in Peru. This time his fathers influence and corrupt justice system was of no use.
Why are you blaming the Netherlands judges and police, when the crime was committed in ARUBA. Arubian police are the only ones responsible for investigating the crime of Natilie Hollaways disappearance. Their country, their crime, their police and judges. Just because the jerk was born and a citizen of the Netherlands has nothing to do with the crime. If you, as an American, go to the Netherlands and commit murder, who do you think you will answer to? America or the Netherlands?

Well, I am an engineer. I know a bit about structural integrity of design and of materials. Wood boat that size would have broken apart the instant it got onto the water.

Much better question, what did the herbivores eat??
An elephant need a million calories A WEEK.
Where did they store it?

How did they prevent disease - in inherent problem of wooden ships?

NOW the biggest question. How did repopulation take place?
For instance, after the flood, if one lion kills one gazelle, that would mean that the gazelle would be extinct (seeing that the breeding pair has been broken). How did the food chain establish itself again?

I lived on the Gold Coast for a while, it very nice but overrated. We are mainly desert, but along the east is very green from north to south.

Wrong...I am an atheist and a grandmother who has never had a fast car, and have not been married in 27 years. I have never once considered killing myself over any setback in my life, raised 4 children after my divorce and KNEW I had only myself to rely on, not an invisible god

I believe in hard work, perseverance, honesty, clean living, and just plain old doing your best with what you have. I don`t fear death, I do not fear hell or expect some fairy land paradise when I die. I will simple go back to the earth as it should be. Is that not what other creatures do?

I have also wondered where he picked up the polar bears, aardvarks, patypus, and all other creatures separated by continents and how they got back there once the ark was opened. Assuming the lions, tiger and wolves didn`t devour them the minute they were let loose.

What you want to bet a christian will say, god shut their mouths and didn`t allow them to eat, or reproduce, or poop.

If you think about it, after the flood there would have been no food for any of them, the carnivors would have eaten every other animal, cause there was nothing else to eat and as soon as those were gone, even the carnivors would have starved to death. Noah and his family would also die, because there would not be anything growing after a year underwater, so goodbye human race. So there is proof it never happened cause we are here and doing fine.
