but can we really say that any terrorist group (hell, any government) knows enough about science and biology not to do something like this? Scientists were worried that the first atomic bomb would ignite the atmsophere. They were wrong, but we still tried it out anyway.
I think the issue isn't about targetting or precision, but more about shortseightness and general stupidity.
some are and some aren't. But I definitely think a change in bone makeup would be an easy thing to examine if the researchers had any conviction that it was caused by a change in bone chemistry.
Not only that but the proximity of the olfactory bulbs to the amygdala allows the pairing of scent with emotion and reward learning to be very effective.
ahem, you do not need a formal conspiracy when interests converge. There are people in power who will do nigh anything to keep that power. Why is a conspiracy needed to assume that people will try to keep what they have?
This doesn't just apply to stories, but to experiences as well. Memory is faulty and we fill in things we miss with our imagination. I think stories are the least of the major applications for this desceptive, but powerful research. Consider advertising in the original sense of propaganda, government speeches, film and other media having this applied to them..
I doubt the major issue is that it's different than you were told as a child. It's that a vast majority of the citizens in the country _still_ believe actively that "their party" will represent them because that's what they're consistantly told.
George Carlin put it well enough:
"You don't need a formal conspiracy when interests converge. The owners of this country went to the same universities and fraternities, there on the same boards of directors, they belong to the same country clubs, they have like interests, they don't need to call a meeting because they know what is good for them...and they are getting it. There used to be seven oil companies, there are now three...it will soon be two. The things that matter in this country have been reduced in choice, there are two political parties, there are a handful insurance companies, there are six or seven information centers...but if you want a bagel there are 23 flavors because you have the illusion of choice. You don't get the real important choices, you have no freedom of choice." - George Carlin on Politically Incorrect
unfortunately many of the world's populations do not have the resources to be able to afford such luxuries. I hate to be the one to bring these polarizing issues up, but it is something that will come to bite us unless we work for efficient technology and _actual_ global prosperity so that most of the world can live like the western world does, able to choose if they want children, often stopping at two or three.
I love that there's this kind of development in vaccination, but I'm concerned. Call me callous and cold, but overpopulation is already a major issue in many parts of the world (India, China, etc) I wonder if it's such a good idea to simply "wipe out" the world's two biggest killers.
We would rather cling to the planet until we kill it than let ourselves decline. Nothing else does this to its environment, except ironically, diseases. And with no method of "transmission" to another host, we're boned if we keep going the same direction we are.
Now, we're not at the point where this is a world-changing issue quite yet, but within the next hundred years, as far as we can tell, we will crash in population. We've exceeded carrying capacity. Let me clarify that I don't believe that knocking down society to become hunter gatherers is at all a good idea, but rather, we should work towards more efficient and sustainable ways to live using the technology we have.
Wow, if I had mod points, I'd mod troll. Your local "liberal community" must be pretty odd. Leftism is about a community based country rather than a corporate based country.
Additionally, US leftism is actually fairly right-wing. Central at most. You're defining anarchism and terrorism by the looks of it. Though anarchism is the extreme left, if you wanted to characterize left as anarchic, you'd best be prepared to accept that fascism is right.
More prevalent and socially acceptible examples of leftism are best exemplified by such people as Nelson Mandela, Ghandi, the late Pope Jean Paul and The Dali Lama.
Sure, violent media will make an already violent person worse, but it tends not to do anything to someone who can understand why what they do in the game is wrong in society.
I might bring up a point raised in bowling for columbine (not saying Michael Moore is good, just that he has a point in saying..) that the kids went bowling shortly before the attack. Nobody's going after bowling.
Attacks on gaming and say, rock music tend to be attacks of desperation, looking for someone else to blame. Video games have very few people speaking on their behalf in government.
However, it's not to say that video games aren't to blame. (or at least most). Games and children's stories and simple, uninspired works tend not to give a "middle ground" In simple games, the media and much of our society, we paint the world as there are good guys and bad guys. No middle road. Your actions are just and theirs are wrong. Both sides use this as we simply offhand this person as being "crazy" or "mentally ill" He still had reasons to do what he did.

Every generation gets to hear stories about how good things were
Heck, my parents got to walk to school in the cold! And if they misbehaved, they got hit with a ruler! They loved it!
But yeah, things will suck for the future kids. I may consider not having any just to spare them the misery.
Majora's Mask: Final Hours. High volume
Oh and laugh at the people who believe this crap
it works fairly well for Pastafarianism. Why not here?

Is a biopsy too much to ask?
so, if I may ask... What exactly do you think causes these "vibrations"
The cell phone's vibration setting? The radio signalling? aliens?
If it is the vibration setting, then I think we'd have more to worry about with ahem, personal massage devices.
Perhaps you should pull yours out so you aren't so distracted while you type your responses.
if this were true, people who work with high levels of electromagnetic fields daily (like MRI technicians) would be pretty much made of jelly.
I'm highly skeptical of this, but I'd like to see the actual study article.
I'd tell you a joke about audiophiles, but you wouldn't appreciate it as text instead of a 5000 kbps sound file wilth an 8000 dollar stereo.
Cthulhu Fthagn?

you might as well use tin can telephones.
You need a wire going between you and your audience, kind of a big deal
what about messages on bathroom stalls? It's the only thing I can think would at all replicate facebook
gov can pretty easily triangulate on it. That wouldn't be too good unless you were in an apartment complex
Air cannons are a Canadian thing. I wouldn't be surprised if that got built north of the border.

We don't need to. All modern theme parks are testaments to science.
I can't remember the last time I prayed a roller coaster with pyrotechnics into existence. Science and engineering on the other hand...
you are completely right. It was a terrible choice of words for that sentence.
