BT's Predictions for the Future
Saluton_Mondo writes "BT describes the future as looking "ever more exciting each year"... you won't be surprised if you read their white paper on a timeline of technological development in various aspects of human culture, running up to about 2100. It's a bit out of date, but still pretty funny. Some are reasonable predictions, like the introduction of ID cards in the UK by 2010, or the rise of an American dictator in 2000. Others are just funny, like an orgasm via e-mail in 2010, or a security Barbie which searches for lost offspring. I'll not even mention the emergence of the Borg in 2040... see what you think."
We've seen it all before.
I was thinking to myself, "You know, I think I've seen this before!". Why, yes I have. Last year.
"Have you had a look at your White House lately? Stifling of your rights and freedoms via the various PATRIOT acts"
I haven't lost a single right due to this, nor have you.
"stifling of any dissent as "unpatriotic", "
You must not live in the U.S. Dissent is bigger than ever, and unstifled.
"The US who rescued the Iraqis from that kind of treament are themselves treating Afghans (and others) the same way"
No, they are only holding members of terrorist groups.
"Bust my ass down to -1 as a troll if you like"
Someone should. Your lies are ignorant and hateful. Dissent is one thing, making up stuff is another.
"of Bush and his merry band of fascists soon "
There is nothing fascist about him.
" ( BTW, before you think I'm calling people names, look up the meaning of the term "facist" and compare their tactics for gaining power with what you have seen since that weird November day in Florida)."
I did. Clinton was much more fascist by definition, with his attempt to have government take over and destroy health care. He also promoted racial division. How did Bush gain power? The same way his predecessors did. He got elected. There are a lot of sore losers who want to ignore actual election results because their guy lost.
Your post is one of the reason the bush-bashers have so little credibility: none of your claims are true, and hysterical hate drives everything.
Hurrah - I KNEW there were some gay people on /.
/. - if its good enough for gay people its good enough for me!
Everyone knows a group isn't complete until it has a gay member! Now I dont have to be ashamed of using
Or how we're going to feed the billions and billions of people on this planet?
Why we will feed them with Soylent Green silly!
Do not look at laser with remaining good eye.
AIDS is always in the news. It's constantly in your face in the news.
The fact is, 3 million people died of AIDS because they don't want to take the cure, or have been lied to about what the actual cure is.
1. Stop having gay sex.
2. No sex before marriage
3. Sex only with your wife after marriage
4. No drugs.
What was that African nation whose AIDS rate dropped to almost nothing, because their people were willing to take the cure, and their leaders were willing to push it and promote it?
You can tell a great deal about the character of a man by observing those who hate him.
