If it wasn't an animal, I do not want to eat it. Done, I am an apex-predator on this planet, and I have every intention to continue existing as such (until I die from something I ate, or something else eating me). Why not spend some of that brain power on something useful, like...oh...I don't know, uh...a voluntary means of male birth control (other than celibacy)? How about a pill that kinda knocks the little guys out for a day or two, but doesn't kill your potency or sex-drive? That would solve our population problem right quick. Just imagine how many families borne of a man being a man, and doing the honorable thing by marrying her for knocking her up WON'T HAPPEN! I can see how the therapy market would kind of fall through the floor for lack of maladjusted youths to cure, but I still think it is better than the alternative of turning humans into pellet-heads (that's what we Oregonians call hatchery-grown trout...because they feed them pellet-shaped food).
Until they live a year or so in a lake, pellet-heads are much easier to catch than natives. It's because they are use to being fed at least once daily from a pellet dispenser. They don't know that food swims, or crawls, or struggles on the surface to right itself. To them "food" is a bland fish-matter pellet or two dispensed at 8:00 am, and 5 pm. I think it is due to the fact that we learn from the food we eat. Food is like the first medium of communication. What will our bodies learn from our consuming this stuff? Maybe, because it was never "alive", we won't "learn" anything from eating it. Eventually it would most likely retard our mental capabilities/development. For some reason, Idiocracy comes to mind....
It just goes to show that more laws=more criminals. I think theft is a crime, but, some guy allowing everyone to download a film before it gets to the theatres does not constitute theft. If there were a theft to be prosecuted, it would have been with the original leaker of the film. As some film-maker's intentionally allow such security-breaches to occur, prosecuting the thief would require a mirror. In cases where a film maker's computers are hacked into, and files are "stolen" a charge of theft can be leveled without controversy, or fear of repercussion for downloaders.
I have always felt that we could do a lot if we forced all families to have at least one parent at home with the kids (at least until they are in their late teens). I don't give a damn whether it is the father or mother, but kids do need their parents (no matter how much your boss thinks otherwise). The fact is that at one time what made up "communities" were mothers hanging out together while their husbands were at work. They planned and arranged community gatherings/events. They petitioned their mayors, governors, congressmen, and senators concerning public policy.
I think a return to that model of community would be a good thing. It would free up jobs, decrease street crime dramatically, get our neighborhoods cleaner, raise the average intelligence of our children, and bring back a deeper connection to the people you live around.
Actually, considering that many cars are capable of being stopped via remote control (ever seen Idiocracy...that part of it is here 500 years early)...I do consider cash-for-clunkers to be an Eeeeevil plan. Try doing shit that to a 1970 Chevelle! Not happenin!
I find the concept itself to be unethical. I buy it, it is mine. You (the person who made it) have no right to manipulate it or change it in any way after I buy it. If Apple can't figure out how to design and build it cheap enough to be covered by the retail price, that is not my fucking problem!!! I know there are a countless number of instances where this has been forgotten, but the 10,000,000th Jew burned by the Nazis was just as much an act of murder and genocide as the first one was. As for geo-locating...What if they tracked you until you were close to one of their affiliates, and then gave you directions without telling you where you were going. Next thing you know you are standing in front of Walmart at the direction of your phone...Maybe they are really saving this one till they come out with the iBrain...then you will have ABSOLUTLY NO CHOICE but to sit patiently in traffic while you watch a 20 minute infomercial of Vince from Shamwow inside of your mind.
In a time where politicians are trying to limit the ability of Americans to drive their vehicles freely, why would you think any of them would want something as potentially liberating to humankind as this???
I'd suggest using the interwebs to find you some independent candidates. Preferably the kind that don't switch parties while in office, or from election to election. When you look at their lives, does their current job, or previous experience make them a suitable candidate for the position they are applying for? Do they seem "good" to you? Do they have a criminal record? Do they associate with corrupt people or powers? Disregard parties. They may appear to make things easier, but voting by "party-affiliation" is what has gotten us where we are today. I know, it takes a little bit of thought and effort, but what else in your life are you good at that didn't require more than a little of both? Do a little homework, you are after all hiring someone (for two or more years) to run a political office of the greatest nation this planet has ever known. Try to treat the process as such,.and I am certain we can get better than the set of self-interested turds we have now.
Just remember. "Voting for the lesser of two evils is still voting for EVIL". Vote your conscience. Vote Independent!
Actually I think it is more a precedent setting move than anything. Just like Roe V Wade is more about setting precedent for how much control the fed or state has over what you do to your body than abortion (keeps the fed from sticking RFiDs in everyone at birth). This would potentially set a precedent for allowing manufacturers to control all output points on devices they produce (including the big one in the front you spend 3 to 6 hours a day staring at) for the life of the product,
I once joked to a friend of mine, that one day we will be born at Walmart, go to school at Walmart, possibly going on to WallyU, getting married/having the reception/honeymooning/getting divorced at Walmart, and working for until you die, and are buried at....Walmart. Really fucking sad, that such a lame reality would actually seem more cost-effective than trying to "live" in Obamaland.
Gosh, the way you make it sound, Carter will be deified after the next decade for having had the insight to at least partially run the White House with solar panels! Meanwhile Reagan will be lambasted as the ass-clown who tore them out, and effectively set the progress on solar-cell technology back 10 to 20 years!
To debunk or confirm the assumption that a god, deity, will or order (or any of a myriad of human concepts contrived to justify killing those guys over there for their "stuff") is actually really running the show?
Ummmm.....I guess I will just say it in one word...WRONG! You need muscle yes, but many power-lifters stay away from cardio because your body will burn muscle just as quickly (if not even quicker) than fat! Once your heart rate exceeds 65% or so of it's max bpm you will start burning muscle. As for diet, it helps although it is not the end all be all. I found that shrinking your portions and having more of them a day works wonders (believe it or not digesting food requires a lot of energy, however not so much that you can eat your way thin without exercise).
Lose over 100lbs by running then eh? These ass-clowns that suggest exercise doesn't help you lose weight are so full of it! After many years of working out, I have come to find excess fat to be wasted energy. Meaning that you eat something, and if you do not perform some activity strenuous to burn those calories, they end up on your stomach, thighs, neck, arms, thighs, and ass.
The fact of the matter is that NO ONE "NEEDS" health "insurance". You don't go to a hospital to receive health "insurance", you go there to receive health "CARE". Something that if you were the only payer, and were paying for only those materials and "care" you actually receive, would cost about 1/32nd of what it costs now. The reason health care is so expensive is that most facilities exist to MAKE MONEY, and a health insurance company is willing to pay them WAY MORE MONEY THAN YOU CAN AFFORD!!!!! Essentially you are being priced out of the ability to pay for health "care" by your direct competition...health insurance companies. In my mind, doing something about this makes way more sense than making the Federal government the recipient of your health insurance payments.
"I swear, The only thing worse than a GD democrat is an elected republican. The republicans are about pure greed and corrupt. The dems are stupid. America is in serious trouble."
That is why I encourage everyone to use the web to find an INDEPENDENT candidate who resonates with their "thinking" and vote for them come 2010!!!! Only real indies though, not former dems or repubs switch-hitting for more votes..
I actually think that is the point. Now most legal Americans are struggling with employment, they will be making much less money. As participating in the health insurance SCAM is less important than food, shelter, clothing, water, electricity,...etc, most will let their policies lapse in the face of a personal shortage of any or all of these things. Without paying into Obamacare, most (like me) will be made into criminals overnight, thus making us ineligible to vote.....I see mass AMNESTY for illegals soon following this. Take a wild guess what that will really mean for Americans
