Where are the jobs going to be created? Best Buy and Walmart. Considering all TVs are now designed and produced overseas I can't see were any jobs would be created?
I think he was trying to say that there isn't anything worth giving your life for, like an iphone, 1000 inch TV, or even a flying car. Not that there arent any imaginable circumstances where death would be preferable to living.
The only difference is in the gene responsible for melanin production, a gene that varies in different colored people, too.
So if speciation has occured (according to the article) when the two populations no longer mate, does that mean if white people and black people stopped mating they would be different species?
Maybe in a few hundred thousand (or possibly million) years.
Actually with the tens of thousands of inane, randomly enforced laws on the books we are all guilty, and it's just a matter of time until someone catches us.
You deny that there are actually "evil" people in the world? I'm not referring to religious beliefs.
Define "evil people". The whole idea of "evil" is subjective.
people are not either good or evil
I was saying that it is not an either or. It's not:
Person 1: Good Person 2: Evil Person 3: Good Person 4: Good
It's more like:
Person 1: Some good, some bad. Person 2: Some good, some bad. etc, etc
Sure some people maybe more good or more bad than others. But no one is pure good, or pure evil.
The passage you quoted simplistically refers to society as being composed of the good sheep, the good protectors, and the evil. While you might be able to convince people of this with the normal bogeymen such as mass murders, when you take this view with the laws that law enforcement more commonly enforces, and the ones people more commonly go to jail for, you can no longer categorize people with nice convenient labels.
So, how do you categorize the mass shoot-ups (thankfully there haven't been any lately)? Are these just societal aberrations that can be fixed via social engineering?
Yeah, mass shootings are a societal aberration. There are 300 million people in the US. That is a lot of people. It is a statistical inevitability that someone is going to commit a mass shooting (or bombing, or stabbing, or poisoning, or whatever) now and then, for whatever reason. That is life.
You ask if this can be fixed with social engineering. I would think that this would be self evident, but no of course it can't. That's like asking if murder can be stopped. The idea of putting an end to mass murderers is so laughable as to barely warrant discussion. Short of mind reading, genetically engineering some sort of "super human", or some other ridiculous future technology you can't stop mass killings or any other "evil" 100%. Humans are just too varied and unpredictable.
In a way I do agree with you, but there's that imminent danger thing.
What imminent danger thing?
What don't you like about sheepdogs? Are they intimidating to you?
Who said I don't like sheepdogs? Are they intimidating? Well that depends on the situation. You ever break a law? Ever done anything someone might consider evil?
That's a gross oversimplification. Its sounds like something you would hear in an elementary school. You don't actually believe that bullshit do you? If you do, well, I'd say you're the sheep.
The world is not black and white, people are not either good or evil. This isn't a fairy tale, the world isn't that simple. That sounds good, feels good bullshit is part of the problem. It perpetuates the we are good, they are bad myth.
The world is a dangerous place, "sheepdog" security theater isn't going to save them, though it may get some politicians elected and sell some product. The world is full of different shades of gray. People need to learn how to think for themselves, not hide behind some fucking "sheepdog".

I live in Europe and hate the French just as much as anyone, but you have to admit that their stance on the Iraq war was both profitable and corrupt/corrupting.
As you can see, it's not made of small discs. The reason for this is easy to see, IMO: having one big plate allows for the kynetic energy of the bullet to be spread over a large surface. I.e., instead of getting hit a lot of force in a tiny area as the bullet would do, the victim will get hit with the same force spread across a big area, which will make the pressure per square centimetre much smaller. Using small discs (I guess you mean like chainmail) would probably turn a smallish entry hole into a big one due to the kynetic energy not being spread enough. At least, it would mean having bones breaking and inner tissue rupturing.
Your right, who cares if a longer yellow light means less accidents. People are driving and aren't following the rules! Who cares how many people get maimed and killed in these accidents that would be easily prevented by a longer yellow light. People just need to drive better. I'm sure everyone behind the wheel will be a perfect driver any day now!

There, fixed that for you. For questions on why this correction was necessary, please reference "UN Oil For Food Program". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_for_Food_program
You're welcome! :)
Right, and the US stance on the Iraq war was neither profitable or corrupt.
It's exceedingly difficult to evolve, say, Purell resistance (active ingredient ethanol);

Well it all depends how you lay out and support the discs: Dragon Skin Body Armor

You'd think that would mean it would be easy to figure it all out. Instead pyhsics just gets less intuitive.
