How do i fix "Hit Break Point Primitive" On Sims 2?

Im having serious problems with my Sims2. When i visit my business lot and go 2 close up even though every 1 has left my sims waves its hand around non stop and it wont let me cancel the action. When i did boolprop reset "hit break point primitive" came up. How the hell do i fix this ! !

that might be something to ask the Sims support people because i never ran into that problem.

What is the difference bewteen PRIMITIVISM and PRIMITIVE ART?

They may seem the same but I've seen some articles that suggest they're not. The sad thing is, these articles do not really explain why.
Please help me. THANKS a lot.

primitivism:
1. The condition or quality of being primitive.
2. The style characteristic of a primitive artist.
3.
1. A belief that it is best to live simply and in a natural environment.
2. A belief that the acquisitions of civilization are evil or that the earliest period of human history was the best.


(this is the definition for primitive art given to me by my art history professors at ksu in my own words)
Primitive art is usually used when referring to art that isn't as culturally developed/superior. This term, however, is NOT politically correct anymore. It was often used to refer to African Art until the last 10-20 years. So, it is really a snotty way to look down your nose at an art style.

A lot of Christians seem to think of Islam as brutal and primitive, but...?

...could it not just be going through a bit of a rough patch, like Christianity in the crusades and inquisitions?

Well, they think that because the Crusades didn't happen until 1100 years after christianity was made, and not even all Christian groups were for that. The Orthodox were really angry at the Catholics for declaring such a thing. The Crusades were the first major violent act to be done in the name of Christianity,

When you look at Islam, even during Mohammed's life time, war and battle were a means by which it spread. Every Islamic nation was conquered, not converted, by Arab armies. Unlike the Eastern Orthodox Christian Byzantine Empire, who's golden age lasted for well over 1,000 years, the Islamic Arabian Empire's (from Iberia to Syria) lasted for only 60-70 years. Seljuk Turkish Muslims destroyed the Islamic Arabian Empire, while Ottoman Turkish Muslims attacked the Christian Byzantine Empire. In response to the attacks on the Byzantine provinces in Anatolia, they called on the Catholic church, the only unifying force in Western Europe, to send military aid. The Byzantinese thought a few hundred to a thousand knights, but got a Crusade of tens of thousands of peasants was sent instead.

In Iberia, Queen Isabella, in an attempt to drive out the Islamic Moores who had invaded centuries earlier and treated the Spanish and Portugese Christians as a second class, started the Inquisitions to purge Iberia of anything outside of the Catholic Church to unify the peninsula into Spain - Portugal remained independent.

The Crusades and Inquisitions came out of conflict with Muslims - If Muslims had not invaded Anatolia, then the Crusades would not have happened. If the Muslims did not invade Iberia, then the Inquisitions would never have happened.

Although - Islam has done the world a great favor, because by blocking the riches of the Eastern world from the Western world, the West went West to go East - finding the Americas, and pushing society forward. Also, because the Ottoman Turks, Muslims, destroyed the Byzantine Empire, the Byzantine survivors fled west, spreading the learning of the empire to Western Europe and sparking the Rennaissance..

How did the first cell have evolved from the non-living soup of the "primitive" prebiotic oceans?

What selective advantage would be gained for non-thinking atoms and molecules to form a living thing? Natural selection really isn't a valid force at this point in time since there really is no conceivable advantage for mindless molecules to interact as parts of a living thing verses parts of an amorphous rock or a collection of sludge. Even if a lot of fully formed proteins and strings of fully formed DNA molecules were to come together at the same time, what are the odds that all the hundreds and thousands of uniquely specified proteins needed to decode both the DNA and mRNA, (not to mention the needed ATP molecules and the host of other unlisted "parts"), would all simultaneously fuse together in such a highly functional way? Not only has this phenomenon never been reproduced by any scientist in any laboratory on earth, but a reasonable mechanism by which such a phenomenon might even occur has never been proposed - outside of intelligent design that is. So which came first?
To jonmcn49- Just use "science" to answer the above question...Just as my question is based on "scientific facts"..(I understand you're hurt because your (Evolution-Religion) is under attack...but try to maintain some civility
Jonmcn49 - Nothing in my comments is scientifically unsound or false. I know you've worked with protiens and elements..but no life not even close...and changing the atmosphere that Stanley Miller used will not produce MORE amino acids or life itself from non-living matter.
To The_Doc_ Natural law says that all inanimate matter desires equilibrium. Homogeny is the ultimate goal of nature, even with the input of large amounts of outside heat or disordered energy from the sun (just try heating up a collection of organic matter and see what happens - all that will happen is that it will become hot homogenous ooze, but nothing much more complex than this). Consider the fact that the simplest living cell is far more complicated than the best supercomputer in the world today. And yet many believe that such a cell assembled itself in the primitive ocean soup of this Earth just a few billion years ago? Really? Would anyone believe that a supercomputer could assemble itself in the shifting sands of the earth's primitive deserts even given trillions of years? Of course not . . .
To Wise Duck..The latter portion of your statement is wildy incoherent!
To Saraph_e The latter portion of your answer is pure fantasy, And has never been replicated or seen occuring naturally..
Im sorry..The_doc's comments are incoherent...not ducks
to jonmcn49 - Lets hope for the best on your uncoming experiments? what will they prove? ..That "INTELLIGENT" men working tirelessly were able to create a DNA...LOL...However untold millions of years ago..an "INTELLIGENT" spirit did the same thing....so congrats to you and your colleges..and thanks for the undisputed truth that an INTELLIGENT force was needed to create DNA and not some random accident!
To gardenga - I can't allow your shameless lie about thermodynamics go uncontested, but please don't take my word for it:..In order for such mechanisms to first arise it was necessary to have matter capable of forming itself into a self-reproducing structure that could extract energy from the environment for its first self-assembly. Directions for the reproduction of plans, for the extraction of energy and chemicals from the environment, for the growth of sequence and the mechanism for translating instructions into growth all had to be simultaneously present at that moment. This combination of events has seemed an incredibly unlikely happenstance and often divine intervention is prescribed as the only way it could have come about.” [S.W. Angrist and L.G. Hepler (evolutionists), Order and Chaos, Basic Books, New York, 1967, pp. 203-204]........Many of scientist have a similar view..So NO thermodynamics does NOT allow for abiogenesis! It's just the opposite!
To academic - Which is more plausable? 1- A Creator is responsible for the universe OR 2- Reality consists of infinitesimally small, wiggling objects called strings, which vibrate in ways that yield the different subatomic particles from a distant 11-dimensional universe!(String Theory)?..OR 3- The "unthinkable" "void" converts itself into the universe with it's physical laws What tells this "empty void" that it's pregnate with a possible universe? .....Academic, the Laws of Thermodynamics prove the Universe had a starting point, therefore is there a mathematical probability that empty "nothingness" should spawn a region of spacetime "where none existed" before? Academic, the notion of some probability of something's coming out of nothing thus seems incoherent...Whihc then leaves us with the only probability..Some "Intelligence" caused the Universe..
To jonmcn49 - Please come clean ... That "enviroment" is being 1- monitored - controled - maintained (Electicity etc) by intelligent men, with a specific goal in mind. Which is how God did it (Monitor - control- maintain) the enviroment with a Purpose in mind!
emucomp - It's one thing to say "i don't know" but when experiments fail..and other scientist research indicates that the hypothosis is implausable...It's time to ACCEPT the truth..concerning "abiogenesis" all expermentations have FAILED...abiogenesis has never been seen occuring in nature..which has lead to this comment - from George T. Javor
Associate Professor of Microbiology and of Biochemistry
Loma Linda University - "The harsh reality is that in the annals of science, there are no reports of anyone converting a mixture of complex bio-organic substances (proteins, nucleic acids, lipids and polysaccharides, etc.) to living matter. Under the rules followed by scientists in every other field, this inability to produce living matter from non-living matter should disqualify everyone from claiming any "knowledge" on the subject of biogenesis"...Now I ask you is this scientist wrong..while the "internet" wannabees are correct?..I use SCIENCE to DISPROVE evolution/biogenesis.!
Gengi M = an antibiotic-resistant bacterium is "STILL" a bacteria...."according to its kind" as indicated in the bible ...Get back to when "bacteria" "evolves" into another species...
To Metzkeb- Are you reading with your EYES CLOSED??...In most cases I use science..to discredit-disprove evolution./ abiogenesis theories.
To Science Geek - I'm shocked...You're still handing out used "ben-wa-balls" from your wife's closet? She must be pissed.

It has been proved scientifically impossible for a non-complex organism to evolve into a complex organism.

What is the name of the Alice in Chains song?

It sounds really primitive and native. Lots of heavy drums, no lyrics, some hooting noises. I think they made an additional song, like a reprise, also.

What do I do if class books have my religion messed up?Most of theworld already thinks my faith as primitive.?

I know there is not a real solution but how can I try to explain that it is all messed up?Nobody knows Hinduism more then Hindu and perhaps a lot of the world considers the Hindu faith the most primitive on Earth (the Pakistani people sot of helped spread he message about Hinduism being an awful and stuiped faith and now my text books)!! What do you think of when you hear the word Hindu?A COW!Its getting quite ridiculous that most people think that if you are Hindu you worship a cow.I most certainly do not.
Well I am in 8th grade right now but in 7th grade during my free time I looked in my history text book and it said a lot of things about Hinduism that is not true.Generally we do not explain our faith at all because we believe there is no need to convert someone to Hinduism (well in the 60,s we did explain our faith but it remains forgotten) because we believe that all faiths are the path to realization if worshipped sincerely.The text books say things like us believing that a cow is god and that we believe that rats are god as
well.Honestly if you see Jesus holding a lamb on a picture can you say that Christians
believe that a lamb is god as well absolutely not and it’s the same thing that’s being
misinterpreted with us and of course probably most kids in my school believe that I worship animals.what is Hinduism?Hinduism is a religion which is 10,000 years old (the oldest on Earth).We follow ancient texts such as the Vedas, Upanishads, Puranas and the
Bhagavat Gita.All talk about ideal society and the duty we have as humans and our meaning in existence.Not one thing in any of the texts condemn another religion.Hinduism is a monotheistic religion because we believe in one and only one God is, in the highest sense, One: beyond form, infinite, and eternal. God is changeless and is the very source of consciousness. God is beyond time, space, and causation and yet permeates everything and every being. God is beyond gender. When God is thought of as this infinite principle, God is called Brahman in the sanskrit lanuage. Brahman is the Absolute reality: it is pure existence and knowledge. Brahman does not exist; it is existence itself. It is not all-knowing; it is knowledge itself.Brahman simply means the source of everything not such a thing as only a god for Hindu’s.Brahman means god and obviosly that includes all religions whom worship a god.Why is it that we are considered to worship a million gods?I will give another example using Christianity.Christ was sent to earth to free us from all sins according to Christianity (which us Hindu’s ofcourse believe since he came to our land as well).God was still in heaven and Christ is considred to be the son of god or gods expansion but does that mean that in Christianity there are 2 gods.Absolutely not.Similarly in Hinduism the dozens of personalities which many people think we worship as a separate god is the same one.Like Christ whom came to the Earth in a time when man needed aid all the so called “gods” we are accused of worshipping multiple gods even if they by us are considered incarnations.Whats with
the cow and Hiduism?Well they simply are not eaten because they are considered to have
been a great use to man and to Earth and since they fertalize our lands so we can grow food they are given just a high status of not being eaten that’s it.Hindu’s become vegetarians because they believe that flesh is unpure and unclean.Although they generally are not biased against people who eat meat.The tons of scriptures and stuff take a long time to explain because they have over a hundred thousand pages all together.they talk about various times god had come to Earth and talk about lessons man should learn.Christianity is considered a great religion because of its evidence in the biba and exact location of where everything happened and proof.Similarly in Hinduism the various
times god was said to have descended apon Earth is also given with location and such and
how certain structures were built and the history behind them.Besides the hundred thousand pages of scriptures that is the basic idea of Hinduism.Many are outraged that
people make things up about Hinduism just because we are quiet about our religion.Things like the cow worship and how we are said to do all inds of things which
I can assure is untrue (I am quite religious and I know).But seriosly what do I do to convince my peers and teachers the errors of the idea of Hinduism said throughout
my school?I mean to convince them that the text book and the cow is bogus?

I'm sure that the textbook you are using is faulty,especialy if they haven't discussed the many and varied tenents of your faith.It is your duty to attempt to correct this.Find some better books at your library, share them with your teachers,use every other opportunity to write about your faith in class assignments(let me assure you that devout Christian students do this all the time, they call it witnessing)Stand up for your beliefs,it's your duty as a citizen.

Are myspace and facebook primitive forms of the matrix?

Note: this is a halfway serious question. I see a lot of people living more and more of their lives online on places like Myspace (this also goes for folks who spent sixteen hours at a stretch playing world of warcraft) and I can't help but wonder when (and it probably is a when, not an if) someone figures out how to actually plug someone directly into a computer how many people will simply choose to live their lives entirely online in some artificial construct. Thoughts?

Dude check out this link http://news.yahoo.com/s/space/20061012/sc_space/teenagerplaysvideogamejustbythinking. Its about this kid that they hooked up to a computer and he played space invaders with only his thoughts. How soon will it be before we're all doing this? I'd say by at least 2030. Are myspace and facebook primitive forms of the matrix? Absolutly. We're getting to a point where the lines between reality and computers are becoming blurred, and I think it'll become a very interesting, if not frighteningly strange, world. Good question, take care
