I think Bono should help the poor media industry by doing good will tours for the Taliban in Afghanistan. It's said they love music and musicians.

That would be because they Keep losing them.

Seriously, they do have guns, they bring them along quite often for miner things like when they think they will encounter a bunch of people "dancing all night long".

But yes, they don't always wear guns. That's probably because most of the UK citizens are refused the right to use a weapon in their own defense and guns are pretty much locked away from the unprivileged classes of people in the UK. So in a conversation about being shot or shooting them first, is bringing up UK police really relevant? I don't really think so. You also have the CC cameras on every street corner and cops in the UK travel in packs with several not more then a few moments away.

They're also harassing people, for example, (this is amazing) opposing artificial insemination and actually affecting our lawmakers. What happened to "We're pro-life" thing?

Still, overall, an intelligent designer is not really such a funny claim. It's just the timespan that creationists try to give us that's funny.

If you like a laugh, check out the Raelians, a UFO creationist cult who's all for artificial insemination (and, basically, all kinds of inseminations... nudge nudge, wink wink)... their leader has a race car; Take THAT, popemobile!

Well, there's loads of proofs. Y'know, the proof how God can't be omnipotent, because he cannot create a rock that He cannot lift?

There's something to it, and there are things I find amusing about organized religions. Still, I don't feel it's all wrong and load of bull.

And yes, I'm personally not angered at what is being done with regards to science; I find it laughable. What angers me is the strength of the Church in some countries (such as mine) where they abuse their power. Even in time of crisis, they're not willing to give up on the truckloads of money given to them by the state. They're also harassing people, for example, (this is amazing) opposing artificial insemination and actually affecting our lawmakers. What happened to "We're pro-life" thing?

"Comrade Stalin, stop sending your agents to Yugoslavia with the order to kill me. We have already captured seven of your men who had the intention of killing me. If this does not stop, I will be forced to send a man to Moscow and if I do that, it will not be necessary for me to send another" -- Tito to Stalin (readily confirmed by googling or see [*])

Stalin got the hint.

"Though there is some packet loss, the packets can be sufficiently large to transmit entire messages without fragmentation."

High latency over Kandahar may be a concern, as avian carrier efficiency deteriorates when in defensive ("CYA") mode.

A corporation's actions are dictated by the weakest morals of it's leaders.

How does a charity differ if you look at the core sponsors?

"Last month Negroponte's foundation disclosed that News Corp.'s MySpace social networking Web site is developing an Internet community for the poor children who receive the group's laptop computers. ... In an interview with Reuters conducted over e-mail in May, Negroponte described Murdoch as a personal friend and a key backer of the One Laptop per Child (OLPC) foundation that makes inexpensive laptop computers for poor children."
