    A Painful society generates painful individuals.(and their need for medication)

    The health of individuals is related to social integration, the health of society is related to the want of individuals to integrate.

    Any war of humans on humans is social destruction.
    Increased social connections/equalitys/compassions increases the health of the individual.

    Long distance VoIP does not concern local telcos, the ISP fee covers the connection and use of the internet, this does not concern their infrastructure(the telcos).

    the customer pays the telco for his phone line, the ISPs pay telcos for their phone lines. To charge extra for a particular kind of "content" moving over the telcos lines is...

    if you use VoIP you still need a phone line and it would be wrong to charge extra for using VoIP.

    Try this:

    if you find life the masses are satisfied:
    there is other life on mars(outside earth) if only bacteria, why spend(waste) to go back

    Now nasa has one less marketing tool to justifie it's cost/usefulness. And many personal and group dogmas have to be rethought to accept "other life"

    "to Find life" is a motivation, but to have found life is possibly just a pain in a lot of peoples asses

    A machine can be better at certain conceptualizations of human qualities: strenght, intelligence whatever but this machine will only be a model of our perceptions of humanness and life.

    If robots reproduce, they will evolve. (Even if this isn't designed-in, reproduction will not be 100% accurate in all cases.)

    if we program them to replicate they will, products that do not stand up to quality control will be scraped

    Any specific instructions (such as "be nice to humans") will eventually dissapear if they're not to the benifit of the species.

    if we program this !?! they will

    as far as life/evolution spontaneously developing i don't think so

    "Chinese domain names should be entirely in Chinese," Mao said

    Filtering foreign non Chinese caracter domains(mostly english content and some chinese content) is easy and probably goes unnoticed by most citizens, filtering all foreign Chinese caracter domains(and their Chinese caracter content) would probably not look good and be seen as censorship of the outside world.

    If the Chinese goverment controls all Chinese caracter Dns on the internet it will not seem like censoring, the unapproved sites simply won't exist. But they would need foreign goverment cooperation to do this, and some clever spin doctors to justify it.
