Ok you two. We want to see some cruise missiles. Or at least some schematics for cruise missiles. And if you have any links to where I can pick up the supplies that would be great too.
And can you get get this stuff to me soon? I'd like to have this thing built before election time. Thanks.
Pembo13 read the post with a sigh. Thoughts of his lost love came streaming in on him from every direction. The parent's post was all too remeniscent of that seductive MySpace page he fell in love with so many years ago. He was sure she was the one. He knew it down to his bones.
But just as most of the turbulent online relationships he'd known ended up, he too, was doomed to her foe list.
He'd heard so many stories of couples meeting and falling love, when was it his turn? If only they could hear his heart, pleading for their attention! His fingers tapped away a message over the keys. A message in a cyberbottle. A plea.
Although I tend to agree with you... you're going to need to back up those statements with some kindof evidence. Research, or some study done that proves it.
Stating something is a fact doesn't make it a fact.
Just don't forget that their are numerous requirements from politics that keep this sort of thing from happening. Look at Cancer research. A scientist doing a study on his treatment isn't going to let just anyone sign up, he's going to turn down anyone who is in a later stage of cancer because they're likely going to die anyway and his numbers will look terrible.
Most research doesn't want to use someone who is terminally ill because their reports start to look bad. They aren't going to stack the odds against themselves. So now it requires people who are moderately healthy to try this stuff on. And did you notice the number of mice it is taking to do this study accurately? 500. 500 people who are moderately healthy. Now it's one thing if it's a beauty product, or some fat reducing pill. But it's quite another when it's a dangerous operation that very easily could kill you.
And now back to the subject at hand, these mice have had their genetics messed with. These guys were part of this experiment before they were born. I agree, that if we could get consenting, well-informed volunteers for this it would be great, but how do you inform an embryo? How do you get consent?
And as for the cracks between all those areas, there ARE many studies that they do on humans. These are the studies that have a pretty light chance of killing or maiming you, and therefore also have a pretty light chance of giving you super powers (like these mice). Low Risk, Low reward.
Most people have, at some point in their life, the time for recreation. What I'm talking about is what you do with that time. Do you spend it in from a Television? Do you spend it in movie theaters? Do you spend it shopping for the latest M/RIAA funded product?
Or do you spend it outdoors in physical activity, at the Arts, with you family, posting on/., supporting charities, or other more noble efforts?
You have a choice what you do with your free time, and I've found that the majority of money given to these Mafia organizations is money spent to waste ones time on things that aren't good for anyone. That's all I'm trying to say. Listening to music while working is totally different. Well, to me anyway.
Nice.
Personally, I completely agree with you.
I still own some DVDs, and buy one now and than at the cheapest I can get it. I don't really order cds anymore unless I find that they aren't contributing to the RIAA.
Personally, I think that's best for everyone. Physical outdoor activity and the Arts are a far better way to spend your life than in front of a TV anyway.

Shaped? What does shaping a node entail?

A plea for a happy ending.
Don't worry, pembo13. Your time will come.

As I typed my last message I was thinking of just that. And frankly, I agree with you.
I was thinking more of the MPAA in my previous posts. As for the RIAA, as evil as they are, my point doesn't apply to them.
