Slavery was Ethical at one point in time. Like morals, ethics changes as society does. Many do not consider capital punishment Ethical, while some are all to happy to pull the trigger as much as they can.
Don't forget those naughty cartoons and Theo van Gogh's little movie Submission. They really need to get a sense of humor. They should visit Jesus and Mo for a good chuckle.
There are allot of valuable resources in asteroids and the Moon. The best thing about the Moon is that is very close. The gravity well situation can be offset with railgun launchers and a space elevator. A space elevator would be far easier to build with the Moon's lower gravity than a Earth based one. Another good Moon project would be a Belt of Solar cells around the equator that could beam electricity to the Earth. There are many more reasons the Moon could be a wonderful Industrial Park for the future. See: Major Lunar Minerals
How about we work on figuring out a way to stop reproducing like rabbits. Until we have a world wide control on population levels we are doomed to continuously suffer from famines and poverty on ever larger scales. The whole idea of terraforming Mars is a pipe dream due to the lack of a magnetic field to provide protection from the Sun. Mars may have been wet at some point but its core cooled down to quickly and lost its magnetosphere and most of It's atmosphere. Until we can produce a Warp drive or build generational spaceships Earth will be our primary home. It's time to start seriously protecting it from ourselves.
In other countries they already use Hydrogen for party ballons since it is cheaper. When I was stationed in the Phillipines we would dip the ballon string in lighter fluid, light it, and let it go into the air. It would make a nice little fireball!
Most today do not read it. They rely on the Pastor to cherry-pick the relevant passage of the week. At LifeChurch.TV services it is very slickly preprinted and packaged like any other commercial product.
I wonder if Cat has been cherry picking the Quran just like other religious appologists cherry-pick the Bible for nice verses and ignore the disgusting violence that is in both books based on Abrahams copying of Sumerian mythology. Biblical Violence Quranic Violence
The most ridiculous concept ever perpetrated by H.Sapiens is that the Lord God of Creation, Shaper and Ruler of the Universes, wants the sacharrine adoration of his creations, that he can be persuaded by their prayers, and becomes petulant if he does not recieve this flattery. Yet this ridiculous notion, without one real shred of evidence to bolster it, has gone on to found one of the oldest, largest and least productive industries in history.
I was in the AT&T store yesterday looking at Iphones and comparing it to the LG Vu. When I overheard a young employee trying to help a older customer with a Palm Treo 750. He just wanted a simple phone with out all the extra crap but the AT&T guy was trying to sell him on the Treo, maybe AT & T should start selling the Jitterbug
I replaced my zodiac with a Dell Mini 9. It's a lot bigger than the zodiac but alot smaller than my old 19"XPS laptop. Plus it can run MAME and any other Win EMU. I'm also getting 70 FPS on Quake III. I'm currently using a WImote as a controller over BT. Not bad for $399
We could always sequester the tree trunks. Place them in abandon mine shafts, Bury then under the Ice in Antarctica, or sink them to the bottom of the Marianas Trench with heavy nuclear waste.
The Palm Treo are good for short word files and awesome for texting. They are available with a Palm or Mobile Window$ OS. Plus I can use it as a bluetooth-3G modem for my Dell Mini 9. $90 for a refurb from Cingular.

More likely to get a Trump Crater and a new Memorial at KSC.
My idiot son stole a 20oz bottle of 7Up at Walmart and had to pay a $200 fine to the Norman, OK court and $100 fee to Walmart.

Not everyone steps on Ants!
Some cover them in chocolate and eat them.

So are YOU when it to Zeus, Ra, Mithra, Cuthulu, Ares, Gan, and too many other to list. See the List_of_gods for more silly names.

When I was 6 I believed in Santa Claus. He brought me presents. Then someone more grown up told me the Truth.
. Hey buddy I hate to tell this but.........
Ask the same question to the average suicide bomber? Promises of afterlife glory are very persuasive to poor people with nothing else to lose.
We are still waiting for V.R. to reemerge from the Hype Cycle.

The fact that someone responds to First Posts proves that there is No Intelligent Life on this planet
I wonder if they will Helter Skelter? I hope they include Maxwell Silver. Some of the Beatles songs were happily dark.

The problem with liquid CO2 is that it turns into gaseous CO2 very quickly and can leak back to the surface.
...And it also pisses off the Molemen.
