So this sounds great! It's still using civilisation, ;) but to sustain a solitary existence. Thanks bro. [img]smile.gif[/img]

I would say it is more a use of technology then civilization. Perhaps I should have said, far away from any major, or even minor, population center in my first post. -_^

It's okay dude, i think i know what you mean. You just don't want people to bother you with all kinds of annoying stuff. :D

Etymology of the word Civilisation:

From Latin 'Civis' meaning the inhabitant of a city, as opposed to a rural/agricultural lifestyle. We also get the word Citizen from this root. Civilisation, taken quite literally, means urbanisation, urban settlement, and urban life. So Dresdan's last statement is correct - 'without civilisation' quite literally means 'away from an urban development'.

Don,t know if this counts, but some futuristic city. A sort of cross between the beginning of Attack of the clones and Futurama but with levitating buildings.

Thank you for helping me explain that Epona. I guess I could have taking the time to research the word and post it, just didn't believe it was going to be neccessary, thanx.

Place I would like to live the least would have to be any mid-east country. I don't understand thier culture, beliefs, basiclly thier entire way of life.

PS. Megabot, I shrunk my sig is this less obnoxious?
