There's one side that says sending humans like this is a dangerous waste. And the other just wants robots for now until we can terraform other planets and such. The better solution is to host consciousness on a computer. Assuming the requirements (assumedly duplicating the electrical signals in the third ventricle between the lobes of the thalamus) allow for durable containers, we can travel to the center of the sun even!

How widespread is that law in Canada? In my province we can turn right at red pretty anywhere.
London, England - Top GNAA officials have confirmed the long-rumored launch of the company's new European division, putting to rest myths that the organization had reached stagnancy in its membership.
The announcement came on the heels of the 2nd quarter membership and financial report of GNAA, Inc, which had reported a 15% decline in new memberships, down from 250,000 in the previous quarter. Investor confidence in the public company's stock dropped shortly afterwards, amid rumors of corruption and poor management in the highest levels of GNAA.
"The launch of GNAA Europe should put to rest these myths, as well as open up an entirely new market," announced GNAA spokesman penisbird, speaking from the new GNAA Europe headquarters recently constructed in downtown London. "For years, statistics have shown that Europe, with its generally more liberal atmosphere than that of the United States, contains a higher percentage of gay niggers. As GNAA membership places stringent standards on both the race and sexual orientation of its applicants, a higher percentage of potential candidates can only work to our advantage. From our consumer polls and surveys, we expect to accept nearly 10,000 members into GNAA Europe in the first week alone."
The new GNAA Europe headquarters, described as one of the most technologically advanced and nigger-friendly corporate headquarters ever built, is a sure indicator of GNAA's current success. With its lavish outside garden, complete with African sculpture from renowned sculptor Gary Niger, as well as its grand lobby featuring a 3-story ceiling and ornate gold decorations, the building has attracted much attention from tourists and local residents alike. Even more impressive is that which is not seen by the casual visitor: the specially constructed "pleasure centers," accesible only to GNAA members, allow for extravagent orgies with more than 100 participants each. Located on the upper floors of the building, they provide food, entertainment, and bedding for orgy-goers, as well as a wide selection of sex toys, including whips, chains, lube, dildos, gloryhole booths, and even a sample of GNAA's mysterious new pleasure-enhancing drug, code-named "NIGGERSEED."
Since its inception in 1992, GNAA, the Gay Nigger Association of America, has been dedicated to uniting gay niggers for one common purpose: to be gay niggers. Its rapid growth after its IPO showed strong public interest in the endeavor, which is the first of its kind. More recently, GNAA has posted profits in excess of $500 million every quarter in the last 4 years, placing it among the most profitable of organization of its kind.

haven't a clue, it's legal in ontario. I've seen a lot of americans shocked when i turn right on a red, even when it's legal in their state that i'm driving in.
I know that it's illegal in Quebec, but I thought most (all?) of the other provinces allowed it.
Actually it used to be illegal in Quebec, they repealed the law about a year ago. Information on this can be found at. It looks like it is still illegal on the island of Montreal

I've driven Canada coast-to-coast a number of times, and the only place that red light right-turns are wholly illegal is Montreal. There are signs posted (French, even!) telling you not to turn right on red lights anywhere in Montreal.
Which makes PERFECT sense if you've ever seen how pedestrians behave in that city... there'd be fatal accidents daily, if it weren't for that law, I'm sure.

Funny, we do that all the time here in California.
I don't know who down here would be "shocked" by hat...is there a state where right-on-red is not legal? I've not heard of it.

The question is are you stopping or at least slowing to an almost stop(cause who actually comes to a stop anymore right?) before turning right heh
It is also legal in Ontario to turn left on a red.
