Cybernetic Prosthetics for Amputees
A. J. Perkins writes "Returning amputees from Iraq are getting computer-driven artifical limbs allowing greater balance and mobility. These futuristic limbs have hydraulic pumps visible through its clear plastic shell. They are loaded with an on-board CPU and rechargable batteries. The Utah3 Arm, which allows simultaneous motion in the elbow, hand and wrist, offering movement old prosthetics could not. These are coupled with the SensorSpeedHand, which has electronic sensors in the fingertips that make it easier to grip objects. The C-Leg monitors motion 50 times per second to assist with balance."
.. welcome our new amputee overlords.
Would the US army send the newly "enhanced" soldiers back to Iraq?

Your point was that there could be a technological devellopment that would prevent amputations?
Exactly, you didn't understand my point AT ALL. I'm saying that there could be a political development that would prevent people from losing their legs: abandon an immoral war in Iraq. That's not technical, unless GW Bush is actually a robot, which would be very cool and also explain a great deal.
Since YOU missed my point:
Oh really? If your point is based on your misunderstanding of my point, I don't really care what that would be. Thus, I didn't miss your point; I ignored your point.
P.S. trying not to sound too harsh, failing.
No problem. I can dish it out, and I can take it too. Don't waste energy being polite.

Stupid? You know what's stupid? You, particularly when my cock is bouncing on your forehead.
You call it a cryptic politcal jab, but you're such an obtuse cock licker that you didn't get what everyone else easily saw. You might think you're the brightest bulb in the room, but that's only because you're too stupid to realize that everyone else is smarter than you.
You're jumping around yelling that you can eat more cum than anyone else, but you don't realize that the game isn't to see who can eat the most cum. It's like golf. You try to eat *less*. In the meantime, you keep guzzling that spunk!

The only one laughing is your wife. Strange, I didn't know you could laugh and gargle cum at the same time!
anyway, it's true. You think you're smart, but EVERYONE else knew what I was talking about but you.
You're laughing at me? Well, I'm fucking your mother!
