Actually, I'd say that quote is mistaken. A failure to involve yourself in politics results in your being ruled by your superiors, because only a bigger fool would allow a fool to rule over them.

Actually, I'd agree with you, partially. I'm not really into all that RP stuff, so most of the time I just manage my nation, and that's it. However, I have a political side (which is only natural being a POlitical Science major), so I like to debate topics once in awhile. It's a general forum, who cares what we talk about?

That depends. If it's in space, obviously the astronaut wins (caveman go splat). But if it's on earth, it depends on whether or not the astronaut is wearing a spacesuit/what he is allowed to have with him. Sapcesuit would be a disadvantage in hand-to-hand combat, although it'll probably offer a fair bit of protection from primitize non-pointed weapons (especally the metals/faceplate). If the astronaut can bring back some modern tech, the caveman doesn't stand a chance. However, if he is not allowed to do so, the caveman has the advantage in terms of physical strength and endurance, and probably has an easier time in turning local materials into a weapon. The astronaut still has a chance if he can somehow outsmart the caveman, although that's purely hypothetical and would require a fair amount of time.

Caveman then, definately. Pure brute strength alone would win that fight, as long as the astronaut isn't especially well trained in a form of martial arts, but even then I'd say it'd be about even, since the caveman has likely had to fight for most of his life to survive against animals, the weather, and other cavemen.

Agreed. Also, if the astronaut has just recently arrived from space, he's not used to Earth's stronger gravitation and so he'll be weaker, because he's no longer used to using his muscles under these conditions.

Good point, I hadn't thought of that. New variable:how long he has been in space, and what sort of gravity he has been living in (this is fictional, so we could postulate he has been using artificial gravity).

And the astronaut, not existing in the caveman's time, couldn't fight him then, either. So obviously we're talking about a situation in which one is somehow transported into the era of the other. But that too does present new challenges: is the caveman adapted to live in the present, and is the astronaut able to live in the past? The environment hasn't radically changed in terms of food, water, and air, but other factors have changed. An astronaut wouldn't be able to tell which terrain is the best to fight in, and what to avoid/utilize. The same goes for the caveman in the present. Or perhaps the field of battle is on neutral ground, such as a place which neither is familiar or perhaps a featureless plain.

The astronaut cheats by kicking the caveman in the balls and continuing with repeated kicks in the head. End of fight. Then astronaut goes in search of caveman's woman, since he like 'em hairy. :twisted:

Why would you assume that the caveman would be allow the astronaut to kick him in the balls? Somehow I doubt a techinique that sophisticated was unknown to cavemen. Plus., I suspect cavewomen would be almost as dangerous as cavemen, and I doubt a hairless (comparitively) modern man would be all that appealing to her.

I don't think they're boring, and I like a good political debate (emphasis on "good"), but it's so hard to find that here, and I gave up on searching for it. So now I just avoid the political threads. Cavemen and astronauts are good for a change, but the topic seems all but exhausted *sigh*.

Nope, though I can vaguely remember reading the book, in a plagiarised GDR version :roll:. That one didn't have any flying monkeys in it, as far as I remember.

Why talk about politics? Because like it or not, politics affects the majority of things around you: the price of your pint down the pub, how late you can stay in said pub, the size of the egg that you eat in the morning, how much additives are added to your food, the price of the petrol in your car, and a gajillion other tiny things that effect your daily life. And these things will effect you directly, whether you take an interest in politics or not.

caveman wins

proof:
back when those tough man contests were legal and they pitted all sorts of fighters against each other. martial arts, boxers, wrestlers etc all put into the ring on an equal basis

the bar brawlers always won

one punch in the head and the astronaut is done

i beg to differ

i chose the example because that is exactly the way that a caveman would fight. all a bar brawler has is the experience of getting a guy down on the floor and beating the crap out of him. its not a sophisticated technique that requires years of study.
the caveman would have many years of fighting his fellow cavemen to win women, fight wars, perhaps even fight over who gets the best hunk of meat off the mastodon flank and who gets to be the chief of the band they live in.

the astronaut has years of school work and gym exercises. i mean, the original astronauts were pretty tough, i bet gus grissam could give a cave man a run for his money, but the modern guys are college boy wimps. no way they could beat a caveman in a fight

A caveman would be less evolved, ie more like an ape, stronger bigger, heavier, unless the astronaut get some kind of moder weapon, hes toast
