    We don't need them - even the cameras have cameras on them... The only places without cameras are those places where police officers assault members of the public.

    On a lighter note, I find it hilarious that you manage to say this "While he has evidence that the car is red by way of personal testimony, he has no way of confirming if this is true or false, since he might have been lied to, regardless if he was or not", then finish off with swearing loyalty to a thousands of years old book full of hearsay.

    What I fail to understand is what process occurs in the mind of a religious person when [s]he reads this. I would expect something along the lines of "Omg! you're right. You've opened my eyes! *falls down and worships you etc..*" but experience has taught me that this never happens.

    Why?

    In the same sense that Muslims have lists of stock responses to disbelievers, these ID-fans have stock methods of baiting those who believe the earth is more than 6000 years old.

    But it boggles my mind why it's illegal to shoot a medic?

    Because there's an international treaty on that

    Why isn't there an international treaty against WAR? I guess there's no profit in peace.

    Every time an organism reproduces, the genes it passes-on increase in frequency slightly.

    If some gene tends to result in some physical or behavioral characteristic which makes it more likely that the individual reproduces, there's a feedback loop of sorts set-up.

    It seems to me that a gene for increased sexuality and actual ability to impregnate would result in a really tight feedback loop.

    So, I'm saying that as long as the person carries enough of a memory gene to enable them to safely navigate themselves towards the next willing mate, memory really doesn't matter at all in the grand scheme of things.

    Developed by researchers at Carnegie Mellon University, the snakebot attaches to a stretcher and is controlled remotely using a joystick, allowing a doctor to assess a soldier's injuries as the bullets fly by.

    (a) Clearly I'm insane in the membrane but a more surefire way to enhance the health of soldiers seems to me to AVOID GOING TO WAR EVERY FIVE SECONDS (omg caps)

    (b) Of course, presumably this is just another "hey mr and mrs taxpayer, whilst we have your child away from home on a foreign battlefield, we're going to invest your money in an amazing new technology which will help keep him safe. years down the road, no such product appears but lots of 'important people' make billions from spin-off technologies funded by the taxpayer family" - type scenario.

    (c) According to Noam Chomsky, America has been involved in one war or another since the Civil War (*) - coupled with (a) and (b) this makes for an excellent business plan in today's modern world for the big-thinker.

    * - I forget the actual point in time Chomsky used as a reference point but suffice to say it was over a hundred years ago.
