I don't think they are blown out of proportion at all. I was just saying more people today need actual facts. I don't happen to be one of those people … Legends are cultural stories passed from generation to generation. Legends are based in history, and I've no reason not to believe stories told to me by my elders. However, quite often, history books have been proven false.BoyLazy wrote:Exactly. I feel like they are tales and are often blown out of proportion.Christina Rose wrote:I do think more emphasis is put on data nowadays. There are less and less people who believe in legend without concrete facts.Eric77 wrote:Both are equally important. They all have their places and can't be substituted for another. However, in this day and age, more importance could be given to data.

I'm in agreeance with you that legends are more stable.Alicnim wrote:Facts can be changed @Vickie Noel and @Christina Rose. They are all a factor of time, even scientific theory is only real till the thesis is substantially challenged. I consider legend more stable, though it can be interpreted differently as its always outlandish to non-believers.Christina Rose wrote:I can agree with you that facts and physical data can pretty much speak for themselves, but I still tend to lean more towards legends as being more significant in terms of knowing where you came from. To some, those stories of creation, legends of warriors, and various rituals and such, are all that's truly left after war and violence and even weather. Those are our links to preserve, even if we can't put them in a museum.Vickie Noel wrote:I tend to err more on the side of data, though I understand the significance of legends as it forms the basis of a people's culture, sometimes, their origin as well. But I think the facts generally speak more for themselves.

As I say, verify the tradition is valid before following it blindly.In cooking Thanksgiving dinner, a man noticed that his wife cut the ends of the ham.
He asked her why, and she said: "it's how her mum always cooked it."
A short time later visiting her parents he innocently asked her Mum, why do you cut off the ends of the ham? Mum Replied "it's how her mum always cooked it."
Luckily a short time later they just happened to visit his wives grandmother. Hoping to finally find out why he asked granny the same question.
She said, "I had to, my pan was too small for the ham to fit!"
or you Think you can't,
You are Right

I agree that using the atlatl to prevent construction was the most suitable idea. I wonder if Tom was just being stubborn when he continued to insist they leave it with Bob-Bob.Salsabila wrote:In the case of whether to bury the atlatl or not I support Myra.

I'm sure you're right ? In a real life situation, it wouldn't be an easy decision to make, regardless of whether or not Myra's argument made sense.gali wrote:I don't think he was just being stubborn.
