I'm surprised he had time to write that in between going to all the parties he obviously gets invited too.

I say they're clucking morons!
If you want historical inaccuracy, watch the Kirk Douglas 1958 film Vikings. Great film, in my bloody good opinion, yet full of more holes Sean's mankini!

I really shouldn't read your posts whilst eating breakfast. Or lunch. Or dinner.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Well, hang on a minute. This is produced by the History Channel and was supposed to be docudrama so historical inaccuracies are kind of a big deal. If it was produced by SyFy and written by the guys that did "How To Train Your Dragon" that would be different.
I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!

I'll let you in on a wee bit of a secret: History Channel, and their sister, The Discovery Channel, are the home of conspiracy theories and alien probing.
That they produced a show with the quality of The Vikings is enough for me.

I was driving my car with this 4 years old kid , my cousin's little son. He kept on fiddling with the audio player, aircon buttons & whatever was there on the dashboard. Quite several times he jumped my arms to press the horn by himself. It was highly annoying, he was uncontrollable. Then he wanted to do something with the gear  , when I stopped him , he swiftly moved to pull the handbrake. I just totally dislike kids hyperactive behaviors like these. I'm not sure if this is coming from their DNA or it's because of bad parenting. Anyway, when he tried to do these I told him. "Boy, if we are going to pull these two things (gear, Handbrake) we are sure to crash  "
He replied me , "Oh we are gonna crash, then we reach god ".
I think my idiotic cousin has equated "Death" to "reaching god". I think many people get tired of answering their kids and end up throwing some rubbish explanations to critical questions. How dangerous is this if the kid mistakes dying as reaching god, when the entire family spends so much time saying God is great, God saves us all, and blah blah & those stuff. The kid is so happy about death. 
What would be your answer when a kid asks what happens after we die. Or simply put, "What is death"?

This is based on your religious and personal views of life in general, I would think. If my statement is true, then each of us would tell our children what "we" believe.
My answer, would be that dead is dead, game over, nothing more to see here.

Don't they have child seat laws where you live? A 4 year old should be in the back seat, strapped in to a booster chair or something similar.

Have, briefly, a long time ago.
Now imagine what happens to an unrestrained child (in the front or back) if you get hit by an oncoming car. They fly forward at 80 ~ 100 Km/h and weighs what? 18 ~ 20 kg?
That's some serious inertia: they will smash skulls or break necks if they hit them, and they will die or be seriously injured if they hit the windscreen instead.
If they are on your lap with your seatbelt round you both, you will crush them like a bug in the same accident.
You want that on your conscience?
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Yup I'm in complete agreement. I was just saying , if you come to India. You'll go mad, the moment you step out of your flight.  Things are sickening mad here. Whenever I travel out and come back in, it takes a week or so to get used to the BSs. It'll take a long time (like centuries) to sort out things in India.
And like I said, I was just driving between two streets.

In India, in city traffic, it'd be rare if a car can accelerate to 30 mph Which is why car collisions are rarely fatal. Two wheelers on the other hand - typically instant death.

India. Land of the wild beasts. It was a half a km drive between my home and my cousin's. He was held on lap by one my other friends. He had little control over the kid. I regret driving this way. Never going to keep him in the front seat again.
Safety regulations are given least importance in India. No laws around this ever in force. 5 people go in two wheeler, and nobody is booked. Guess what? 99% of the small family cars fail the crash test. And they "refuse" to accept the trails results. It's a total weird world. More the population, lesser the values for human lives.

lol, no. Never on those lines. But it's a foolish answer, kids parents might have given.

You just pinched paining nerve (couldn't find the right idiom / saying in English)...
We have laws, but enforcing it is a problem. People with right connection gets driving license without even visiting test center ! Traffic sense is so poor that driving in most Indian cities is like some kind of war-game (or road-rage kind of game) !
That reminds me of a story: Once there was an American who never believed in God visits India and on returning back, he was staunch believer of God.. When someone asked, why the change? He replied "Man, in India, people drive on roads and come back home at night." 
Thanks,

Laws (and their enforcement) exist in many cases because people are stupid. Now, that's not intended to insult anyone, it's just a general statement that if people took more responsibility for their own behavior, we wouldn't need all these "common sense" laws. Here in the US, we now have signs on the highways reminding us that texting while driving is illegal (at least here in New York) as well as signs telling us that there is a "text stop" 5 miles ahead. WTF. An amazing waste of money because people are idiots - myself included!

I travelled to Bangalore last summer for a couple weeks. One morning in the rush hour to work we were stuck in traffic and an ambulance with sirens was stuck along with everyone else. No one moved, not that it would have been easy as drivers had filed into five traffic lanes on the three lane road. Felt very sorry for whoever was inside the ambulance needing medical attention. It was definitely an eye opener compared to the traffic in the USA.

No there isn't, in India there are no child safety laws for drivers. You can seat a 1 year old baby in the passenger seat if you wanted to.

In some places, you can seat the baby even in the driver seat. Nobody cares. lol.
It's jarringly strange if I compare this with other countries. Even if I go out for couple of weeks, everything feels so difficult & weird back in India. But in a week, I get settle as one among the crowd getting along with every BS. I think you'll have a very tough time whenever you are here as you frequent here less.

4 words
Child seat, seat belts.
As for kids and questions, when they are about that age they ask non stop question, they're not really interested in the answer, but just learning the art of questioning and communicating. It's can be a pain
