  15. Re:Just like the "war on illegal variable X" on ISPs Will Now Be Copyright Cops · · Score: 1

    Haven't we been arguing this since the invention of the copy machine? As long as people want something bad enough, they will get it. The cat and mouse game will never end and the cat will never win. For every torrent site that gets shut down, 3 new ones appear. The genie technology has been let out of the bottle. People will find new ways to transport and hide/encrypt their files.

    If you're of noble birth and choose to make most everything illegal, than you've made most everyone else your slave. Make knowledge illegal and their children and children's children become slaves. Make chiropractic schools illegal and you've made Dr. Bob your new court jester.

    So going by this, tell me again why God in Genesis (who kept the knowledge from man) was the good god and Satan (who wanted to give man knowledge) was the bad guy? Sounds like God was a slave master to me. *

  17. Re:ha ha ha on NASA Banned From Working With China · · Score: 1

    And if you want to talk about trade deficits, that just means we buy more crap from other countries than we export. (Again has nothing to do with manufacturing output) Having a large trade deficit with China simply means they depend on us to buy their crap. A few protectionist laws (they don't even have to be as severe as China's protectionist laws) and China goes bye-bye. I heard all of this same crap back in the 80's with Japan "dog". *

  18. Re:ha ha ha on NASA Banned From Working With China · · Score: 1

    I'm completely with you. And a trade deficit means other countries depend on us to buy their crap. As I mentioned above, a few protectionist laws would cause much harm to other countries. *

  19. Re:ha ha ha on NASA Banned From Working With China · · Score: 1

    The U.S. manufactures more than China. I never mentioned trade deficit with China. The United States is the world's largest manufacturer, with a 2007 industrial output of US$2.69 trillion. In 2008, its manufacturing output was greater than that of the manufacturing output of China, India, and Brazil combined, despite manufacturing being a very small portion of the entire US economy as compared to most other countries.

  20. Re:ha ha ha on NASA Banned From Working With China · · Score: 2

    ha ha ha is right. China is not paying for our military. The U.S.'s economy is still MUCH larger than China. The U.S. still manufacturers more than China and unlike China, manufacturing is a very small part of the U.S. economy. As far as the bonds, the U.S. could make those almost worthless in seconds crushing China. A few protectionist laws and they're done too. China is rising, but they are still a leach economy to the U.S. To indicate they own us is simply without merit. * *
