  1. Re:Won't work. on Let the Games Be Doped · · Score: 1

    Serious atheletes makes tons of money, and being rigorously tested to make sure the playing field is relatively fair is not that high a price.

    Allowing doping would just inject cynicism into sports, and ruin them.

  2. Re:Sure, and then.... on Let the Games Be Doped · · Score: 1

    No, a pure sprinting race may be simple, but when the runners are performing at peak human levels and competing for a large prize it is not boring...and there is engineering involved. The strategies may be hard to detect but perfecting form and pace on top of nutrition and training are why world records keep breaking.

  3. Re:No smoking; fine as long as then you kill yours on Let the Games Be Doped · · Score: 1

    Thing is, it's just unethical to let a wounded man be wounded because of his own stupidity. Then we enter a dangerous area where we're only required medical care after our case has been viewed and accepted yada-yada-yada.

    This is one issue that needs to be black and white. We may have to suck up some bills of stupid people, but at least they are in pain for their stupidity...it's not like they are fleecing the system while drinking margaritas in Curacao. That's the most ethical way to handle it.

    But then you'd still have to test the natural atheletes, because there would be more fame in doing well in that league which would be considered 'pure'.

    That was a typo. I am certainly aware that it is Tatooine.

  9. Re:Save the Franchise? on LucasArts Embargoes "Clone Wars" Reviews · · Score: 4, Interesting

    No, I could have put up with Jar-Jar, but the midichlorians were the true knife in the back.

    However, the fanboy runs strong in this one, so I hope that one day there will be another good film or game for the universe, though for now I'm living in hiding on Tatootine.

    Georgia was under Russian rule for well under 100 years.

  20. Re:vivid and personal? on USAF Enlists Shrinks To Help Drone Pilots Cope · · Score: 1

    Perhaps in some way killing face to face is easier on the mind, since you are witnessing your destruction and can grieve over it. You also know that it was either you or him.

    When you blow up a building you may not ever know the extent of the suffering you caused, and the wondering about it may drive you crazy, on top of the guilt of you personally being completely safe and sound.
