Shouldn't be that scarry. I recall the article saying that the vast majority of genetic deseases/defects are carried by the nuclear DNA rather than the mtDNA. So, most likely, you would still have the same genetic defects as before. Hooptie
My favorite German grammer story: A german man had just written a two volume book. His publisher was short on cash, and asked if they could publish volume one now, and volume two next year. The author's horrified reply was "Heavens NO! Volume two is all the verbs"
Crime everywhere in the us has dropped, including areas with sane gun laws. How come there is gun deaths
So, you agree that gun control has no effect on the crime rate. After all, if it did the places with "sane gun laws" would be less crime ridden.
Back in the 1780s, when farmers with rifles...
By that logic, the only types of media protected by the First Amendment would be books and newspapers. After all, radio, TV, movies and the Internet didn't exist back then. With all the violence, hate etc... in the media today and the presumption that is causes kids like this to do these types of deeds, lets ban violence on TV, and movies and video games.
Yes, I am a member of 2 "well-regulated" militias. The Militia Act of 1792 states that all able bodied males of age are members of the militia. The state of Texas has a similar law.
At the time the Constitution was written the term well-regulated meant working correctly. There are references to well regulated foundrys, shops etc... The term has nothing at all to do with government "regulation"
Firearm ownership is a civil right protected by the second amendment to the Constitution of the United States. Why would you deny me my civil liberties because of the actions of others? Why not ban inflamatory speech? or just arrest anyone who might commit a crime.
If the mere availability of firearms causes crime, why has the crime rate dropped in Texas and Florida since their CHL (Concealed Handgun Licence) laws went in to effect? Why are there no weekly massecres in Kennesaw Georgia where every household is required to own a firearm?
Nor does it explain the horrifying level of violence that always seems to result when everybody is armed all the time Perhaps you could give us some examples of places where everyone is armed all the time and the resultant "...horrifying level of violence..."
My brother-in-law used to work for MS doing phone support. He said the reason for the GO button was to cut down on the number of people who would call up and say "I typed in www.imadork.com but it won't do anything"
I've come to the conclusion that the reason people don't care is that they have been trained to accept crashes, lock-ups, reboots etc... as NORMAL behavior for computers. I uesd to work as a tech at BestBuy and people would comment about these things being normal. I would stop them and try to explain that this type of behavior is normal for Windows but not for computers in general.
But, the M-16 pushes a 55gr bullet significantly faster than 600fps. According to my old Barnes ballistics software a.223 Remington round (same as 5.56 NATO) using a 55gr bullet has a muzzle velocity of 3250fps.

Amendment XIV

Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
Section 2. Representatives shall be apportioned among the several states according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each state, excluding Indians not taxed.

Section 3.

But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.
Section 4. The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned. But neither the United States nor any state shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or any claim for the loss or emancipation of any slave; but all such debts, obligations and claims shall be held illegal and void.
Section 5. The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.
