Nuclear power produces no greenhouse gases -- none!
No, it just produces extremely dangerous material which will remain radioactive for thusands of years to come. We'll just pile it up over in the corner and hope it can't touch us here.
A lot of social change can take place because old people (and more specifically, old people ideas) die. I'm sure many of us feel that our ideas are enlightened and superior to those of our ancestors, but when we're all pushing 70, we really shouldn't be the ones deciding the direction which society goes.
Why not? They have maturity, you don't. The immature ones shouldn't get to decide.
Besides in a democracy its the majority who decide where we go. the year 2050, we're all going to be bitter crotchety old people, set in our ideas talking about these young kids and their crazy ideas.
That's just a prejudice. If everybody is against your ideas its probably because they aren't worth much.
It might have a stagnation effect on a culture, with other "non-longevity" cultures overtaking our own.
There is nothing wrong with slow - slow is better then fast, but the kids don't understand that - yet.
People in government see anti-aging research and treatments in terms of the financial load on the retirement and medical infrastructure relative to the tax base of still-working young, and view improved treatments as extending the life of the infirm aged rather than extending productive, vigorous youth. As a result they tend to be opposed to such research, or in favor of rationing its fruits if it ever has any.
When people live longer they can work longer. More money. And people in goverment die to.
Hate to do this to you, but when someone starts criticizing someone else's grammar, they'd better use proper grammar, punctuation, spelling, and capitalization in their own posts.
Why? If something is wrong it is wrong, regardles of the errors someone else might make.

They are anti assholes - if that happens to be teenagers, then so be it. RTFA they hang around and harass customers.

What are proctractors?
Not 0.27% its 27% - read the explanations.
Why is it so hard to believe that us humans are responsible for global warming?
It isn't. Its just unproven.

Well, we know what happened the last time a few experts were taken at face value...No WMDs.
Except they weren't scientists, they were politicians (the experts said there were no weapons all along)
And now that the evidence about both global warming in general and our role in it in particular is conclusive,
What conclusive? Perhaps this is something that happens naturally every half million years?
E. Coli? That means shitty pictures?
Obviously people would switch to game 2 while game 1 'recharged'
So you didn't see the point either, eh.
No, my problem with the story is I don't know why its a big deal.

We were designed to live for ever, but the Universe decided to try something else ;)
The singularity is comming, and then we'll all have android bodies ;)

Do you consider your car to be defunct? Because it employes a form of protection - a key and lock.
If they kept the keys after I got the car -then yes.
Though 3 is a bit high...
It's an imoral concept which should be illegal - you get over it.
It seems the only reason to get such stuff is to 'vote' for more with your money - but since Firefly is gone - what could that be.
And go home compression labs!
And has been for a long time for anyone who's been around hardcore gamers.
