If they had proper parenting and education they wouldn't get misconceptions from a TV...
It is suffice to say proper education or parenting for that matter isn't done, it's a process. Just because they are old is no excuse to be so easily mislead.
From their perspective anyway. The majority of people have a huge cognitive dissonance between what science actually does for them and what they think science does for them. What science does is allow us the comfort of technology (SUVs, food, water) and what they think science does is something entirely different (crazy useless experiments or whatever). This fallacious train of thought is of course in no way hindered by our societies seemingly unashamed bashing of intellectual curiosity while simultaneously praising ignorant brow-beating chest thumping religious platitudes. If that statement offends people I am only more reinforced in my opinion.
The funny thing is some people will point to this model and say, "OMG SEE EVIDENCE OF TEH BLACKHOLEZ OF DOOM!!!" While in the same sentence say, "Models of Global Warming are just MODELS, made up COMPUTER SIMULATIONZ!!!"
Seriously. The Corporations know what the American people want more than the FCC. The Corporations will give America all the sex, drugs, and American Idol they want. FCC? Friggin' bunch of crazy Jesus freak Catholics pretty much.
Well to properly nitpick - to take out the energy middleman you'd need to firstly be your own fusion device as the sun is the real middleman. The sun isn't the source of energy it is simply an energy source as atoms are a source of energy, the sun just brings them together.
Never extrapolated as I never claimed that it worked on adult humans or that they even tested it on humans at all. Only that they claimed that it worked on the animals that they tested. Nice try at back peddling though.
Because people haven't stopped reproducing, even if they have certain latent or expressed genetic variations. I suppose I should have said that we would be mostly autistic, not all. It appears you're begging the question as to whether or not it is valuable. Whether autistic traits are increasing or not is debatable, especially as to the cause - genetically valuable or simply better clinically recognized? Keep in mind Homo sapien DNA is not perfect, it is prone to variation and mutation, even variations and mutations which are harmful in one area and beneficial in another. Although I am sure you're aware of that already.
I never claimed that the drug was not targeted for fragile X, in fact only you mentioned the drug and autism in the same sentence. Perhaps you should reread the OP.
No wonder you posted anon, that's an incoherent statement! You might as well say, "If today's dead was normal, then today's living would be called dead. Objectively, we are all dead and living at the same time really." Because life and death is merely a definition. I'm sure you understand that only works for cats in boxes.
Whether it's cemented at "birth" is beside the point of this drug as it attempts to correct a current state not prevent one. They claim it works on adult animals they have tested. RTFA? Nah this is/. lets just make assumptions.
If that were the case then natural selection would have taken its course long ago and we'd all be autistic. But it's an amusing question to philosophize nonetheless.

That shouldn't be at all surprising. I'm pretty darn happy when I'm drunk too.
How can you warp that of which you never had?
Of course the American politicians received the message as, "You must construct additional prisons!"
Had != have.
Now I'll have music DNA smeared all over my HDD? Like having DNA smeared all over my keyboard wasn't enough, thanks Corporate Overlords!
Don't you mean Crocoduck?

Sounds like a failure of proper parenting to me.

By those standards all of /. are devout terrorists.

Business=Government in America too... they call them "Lobbyists" or in other words "People who pay to pass the laws they want".
Do you happen to work at NASA?
Yeah, that's why you see all those darn greedy attention whoring scientists on American Idol.
Speak for yourself, I plan on living for the next six billion years.
I don't know about you but mine already serve a purpose. There be nerve endings on them ya land lubber.

Just buy the Chinese version when it comes out, that's probably where the drugs will be made in the first place anyway.
