    Do you people not understand that as long as the US has a billion dollar market for drugs that there will ALWAYS be a supplier? You're talking about a poor country with high unemploment where minimum wage is about $4/day.

    The problem here is not poor starving people willing to do anything to survive, it's rich americans needing to get their drug fix.

    Actually, the cartels are upping their actions precisely because the government isn't playing ball with them. All of this increased violence is in direct reaction to the new US style War On Drugs.

    What would your republicans have anything to do with the situation in mexico? Are they going to legalize dRugs?

    If the US wasn't so addicted to drugs it wouldn't be profitable for poor countries to be in the drug trade.

    You obviously know nothing about mexico, so why do you even bother spouting your stupidities?

    What would really help is if the US cleaned up it's drug addictions then there would be zero market. Or if the US didn't force their war on drugs onto other countries then the cartels wouldn't be fighting violence with violence so much.

    I never said tjeu could, i was just pointing out that the comparison is useless. As for what humans can detect, well, there's a long tail to everythong. So who knows? After all it's clear science doesn't stidy the long tail, we even purposefulu drop outliers from oiur data/

    I mightt not be able to sense things with the light sensitive cells on my slin, but what about someone else? What about the emf sensitive cells that humans have that most don't seem to use?

    The cool thing about the human body is they're all created differently and the stuff you learn on anatomy doesn't apply to every one, hearts are in different locations, rib and vertenrae counts can be diferent, muscle origins and quantoties, etc...

    I bumped into a recently blind jock once who lived his whole live extremely physical and pushed his body to the limits. I was extremelu suprised when he asked me where the sun was. This/person who had extreme control pver his body cpuldn't feel the sun on his skin! We all have different sensitivities and trying to say certain things are impossible is just dumb when dealing with the wide vqriety of humans put there.

    I admot i was eqsily skeptical of science becaise i was in the long tail for lots of things, so constantly reading that what i could percieve was impossible just nailed home the fact that theu don't really understand the generaloties that they talk about. For example, they ignore the fact that what our senses are capable of perceiving, like single photons, and what we interpret after filtering and assembling are two different things.

    because modern physics doesn't say energy systems can affct other energy systems? Because science hasn't shown chips that can use the surrounding emf as part of their system more effectively than if not. Because modern science hasn't posited that human brains work in similar fashion?

    Not really. Astrology is all about correlation of climate data to determine the types of climatic effects on development based on your date of birth. No hardcore astrologist believes it has anything to do with the constellations because they are well aware of the fact that the constellations have moved on.

    Neither of which has anything to do with tarot cards which has nothing to do with date of birth. As well, Tarot os on the same basis as dowsing, an extremely difficult field. Easy to convince yourself that you can repeat the actions, extremely difficult to actually get an effect. After all both rely on using the human body as an instrument and most humans out there can't even tell if their body needs water or food.

    Um, probably because the vast majority of people buy a games console to, you know, play games.

    Out of the remainder geeks who do want to run unsigned code they really don't care about being able to run their own code, they just want aded functionality and/or bragging rights by running other people's unsigned code. An even smaller percentage of geeks buy them because of the challenge of breaking the security, finding flaws, and taking advantage of the hardware and possibly making it do things it was never meant to do.

    Then there's you, who just whines and bitches and doesn't share in all the different ways others are getting pleasure from a simple game console, and let's be realistic, nobody, neither companies nor peers, cares about your opinion because you are neither buying nor having fun with other people.

    NB, I'm using the plural you. Take heart AC there are other losers out there.
