  2. hollow grams on The Universe As Hologram · · Score: 1

    in order to have a hologram, there must be first 'real' objects, or in this case, a real universe in which to make the holographic universe from; so we wrap around 'reality' no matter how 'mystical we think we are. Grains are subjected to many possibilities from overworked formulas to gods forgetting to focus the material as it is being played on the backwalls of our minds. Soon these grains will clear, and our universe will survive another 'unreal' blast of super nova'd stardust memories. If we conclude we are within the confines of a massive blackhole, anything we see is possible; then soon we will come out into the light of day, like a seed which has burst, sprouting upward and out, seeking sun rays!

First of all, what China plans to do, and what will actually be done, may take longer than they think, unless of course, they steal more technology from US. Second, I think it should be NASA telling DoD what to do, as in, "give me some of them rockets, biotch, cause all your using them for is war!" They have to get rid of some anyway, under certain 'circumstantial' laws, so we don't need NASA going completely military, or the Hypocrisy of why we are in space to begin with is going to reek! This is something that should be shunned, even though a certain binding of the two happened long ago. No need to make this formal, unless we want to alert the Russians of our intent on a space war race. Hegads, no way! Under certain laws, our dear military has an obligation to get rid of some of them rockets, and to test others. If they really wanted to prove to civilian American's, their obligation to protect and serve US, then they need to stop absorbing so much. Instead Obama needs to take some of their money, and use it to recycle some of their old rockets for the Space Administration, being Commander. Attention!

  4. Oh, my gollywood Bollywood. on India Sleepwalks Into a Surveillance Society · · Score: 1

    I suppose old Indian Buddhism is using the old third eye to see into the hearts and minds of their billions of citizens. Can you say, "Oh, my curry, see what Mr. and Mrs. Raffa are doing doggystyle, while watching illegal porn. Hurry, Officer Ghandi Wind, get over there and bring them some lubrication, so you can seperate them, and bring them down to the police station, right away! If they don't answer, just break down their door!" "Stop by the qwicky mart on the way back, and get me some of Mahatma's donuts with the bigger holes, and make sure they got a little chocolate in them. I'm hungry and need something to eat." That means, the government will be the ones watching porn, watching all those people getting on their porn sites, doing unimaginable things! Shegads!

  5. Re:by that reasoning... on India Sleepwalks Into a Surveillance Society · · Score: 1

    That's a real stretch. Even though we have wars, and people go to them sometimes motivated by their religious beliefs, we don't go on wars because of religion. We are free from all that; unless of course say, Pat Robertson were to somehow get into Office as President. Seperation of Church and State is fundemental to our constitution, not allowing religious leaders to become too powerful, lest we be like many Middle Eastern Nations. True terrorism is a fanatical concept, whereby the terrorists are radicals, oftentimes religiously so, willing to blow themselves up in the process, or do what it takes at all costs. Usually their religious beliefs shroud their thought, because if they would only think about things, and calm down, maybe they'd come out with a different solution, and not allow so many innocent lives/children to be killed! Take a deeper breath. Now what you're talking about in relation to USA is she was once a quasi-terrorist when founding these lands, etc. Hopefully we all have had enough, and will become a truly wonderful Nation, henceforth! GBA!

  7. You're all nuts! on More Evidence For a Clovis-Killer Comet · · Score: 1

    So where are the bolts? First of all, we can not say that all Native people have been DNA sequenced enough to see if all their ancestors go back to one person in Africa, no "race" of people have for that matter. Second, why is the BBC such a credible source, after all, the Brits are the ones, without the help of Comet Dumb Dumb, destroyed the civilizations of the Natives not so long ago. Third, there is mounting evidence that there were most likely several migrations from several parts of the world, from several ports of entry (even the BBC got in on this one, regarding the 38,000 year old footprints found in Mexico. Forth, the Clovis People probably migrated if such a disaster had happened to other regions of the globe. The real problem is in believing other theories other than what we were taught in grammer school, about the Bering Strait migration and the last ice age, etc. We've since had to redo this stupid theory several times, you'd think these pendejos would just stop talking until the final proof comes forth, but nooo, because someone in a monkey suit needs fund money for their experiments and studies. Everyone wants to feel important with their new theories. Oh well, what about this one: perhaps, there was an impact, but not as fatal, some animals died off, some humans died off. Heck, according to the academia, they were only living to forty anyway, so it must have been pretty easy for that to happen. Life went on, pretty much undisturbed, until the English Only crowd came in and dessimated the original populations down to what is now only 1 percent, destroying over two thousand Native languages along with them. The same thing happened down south with the Spanish Only hoodlums. Then they all set about to reteach everyone with their theories, replacing nearly all Native thought with Euro-centic thought through various forms of intimidations and cruelties, until the internet came along so a bunch of Nerds could sit and ponder these things, poiting out tid bits of this New knowledge to each other, further trying to destroy any last fragment trace of anything Native, whether in thought or word. Then Yellowstone started to rumble, causing many to realize, "hey, maybe we don't know as much as we thought?" Hey, maybe Nature will once more bring US all to the brink of destruction? Maybe, some will be left to tell all about US, and what not to do the next time around, thus setting off a chain of events that will herald in a 'new' Platinum Age of Humanity, where we aren't so busy digging in the dirt looking for clues to who we are TODAY? Hm? Maybe not. Oh, well, just a fantasy.

  15. Lol on Machine Condenses Drinking Water Out of Thin Air · · Score: 1

    I'm especially laughing at df6's comments about siphoning all the water out of the air, creating horrible consequences in Arizona. Once the water is siphoned, it may create a vacuum effect, which would siphon water from another system, perhaps making Arizona more wet. I bought one of those mini-airconditioning units during the summer. When I opened the little compartment, although I had not placed any water in it, there was water that had been condensed from the air. I've since learned how to operate this machine better, but its output still sucks. At the time, I mentioned this to a friend, that it might be a good idea, if someone were stuck in the desert with no water, but we soon realized the inefficiency of the power to actual production ratio, we'd have to have a large solar panel just to supply the energy needed. Another consideration was the low amount of moisture in the desert air, etc. It would be better to dig for water, than to get stuck with the extra weight and pricey realization.

You give the hint that she is creative. Perhaps, she can work as a special effects person, or even become a writer, if she's not one already. In other words, she's got lot's of potential. The reasone why I think so is because, if she is this good at something she doesn't even like, most likely she will excell in something she is passionate about, so long as she doesn't happen to chose something she just can't do, like some people who want to be singers, and just can't carry a tune.

  21. Re:Like to see this replicated on German Doctor Cures an HIV Patient With a Bone Marrow Transplant · · Score: 1

    This is an excellent article written here. I used to keep company with a group who all thought it was all a conspiracy. They had some facts right regarding doctor deaths per year (nearly 1 million accounting for all kinds of ailments, not only AIDS) caused by misdiagnosis, overmedication, and wrong surgeries, claiming these all pointed to the conspiracy. What an awful tragedy it was finding out that one of the children died, because she was refused medication, being too young to ask for treatment herself. They would go around saying, go ahead, have all the sex you want, when you want without protection, etc. They ate lots of vegetables, including drinking wheat grass each day. Every once in a while they would splurge on regular food, which their bodies found harder to process, as time went by. One, an (ex?) friend of mine finally broke away, asking me what I thought, after visiting him in the hospital, as he lay dying. I said, take the drugs, man! He did, and is now in much better health! I've done vast amounts of research on this subject, and realized that there are always going to be exceptions to any rule, as in waterproof doesn't always mean just that. Disease is a collaboration of many mini-diseases, including stress, (in many people), abuse, (in some) malnourishment, (probably a big factor in Africa) and whatever we eventually call the disease in all who are infected with the actual rogue mutant running amuck, hampering our lifestyles. The ability of the body to ward off, suppress, or destroy such a disease also includes many factors, some easier in some bodies, than others, thus the multi-faceted problems of effective combat for doctors/researchers in these instances. The people who wanted to believe the doctors were in conspiracy were only slightly right in that the meds they refuted, did indeed destroy (partially) the body they were meant to healthify. They only wanted a purely healthy dose of medicine without the side effects caused by most medicines. They decided healthy food would do the trick, unfortunately for some, that and the other 'organic' things they were doing, wasn't the solve all they needed. Although, I must say, some of them, I'm sure, are still in good health, and I wish them all the best. In the case of children, things can get very tough, as is the case with certain J Witnesses. Getting back to the article, two years is hardly enough time to elicit joy in a disease with such ravaging effects. Thank Goodness for the wait and see factor everyone usually adopts now a days, and let's keep our fingers crossed. Still, you are absolutely right to state that this form of procedure is too costly, and far to over the top for present day circumstances to make this a widespread treatment possibility. I am probably one of the few who believe this disease will either eradicate itself from humans, or will just eventually blend in so well, as to become non-harmful as the years go by, at least to a small minority at first, then eventually to most, just like the monkeys, where they say we got it from originally. Every so often there are diseases that spring up in the human chain that causes us to take pause, and know we are not alone in our evolutionary matrix, (if I may). Just like an asteroid, one comes around and just slams us hard! Then we look back and see what happened, perhaps realizing, this is all part of who we are in an ever expanding universe. We are futurists whose purpose is progression.

Vodka used to always be made from potato which is also very hearty, as being developed by both the Incas, Mayans and other Native tribes to survive in all kinds of climates. Obviously, tequila was used because the experiment was conducted in Mexico, being readily available. The only thing that got me was the cheap tequila part. Cheap tequila in Mexico is considered good tequila here. I know because I have done the taste tests. I'm shitting diamonds now.

Oh well, looks like soylent green will be human, after all. Well, we can all look on the bright side, at least we'll decrease our worldly population once the animals and plants aren't around to feed us. Kidding aside, what we can do to help is let these animal and plants heal by instead overconsuming the same things again and again, like red meat and black oil, why don't we decide to let our planet rest every once in a while. We need more trees planted, more rivers cleaned, less dumping in oceans, or polluting our sky. Just like the Natives of these lands once did, let the ground lie fallow for a while, let your car take a vacation in the garage, conserve water, electricity, and paper and plastic. We have been conditioned to equate our consumption to our livelyhoods, thinking we have to support the big exploitive companies that bring us our products so conveniently. We need to become determined to rescue ourselves from this 'getting worse' reality by being less commercialistically consumeristic, and more self reliant. I mean, how on Earth did they survive on "Little House On The Prairie"? Plant corn in your backyard, if you have one, along with some tomatoes, beans, squash and lettuce.
