Bonobos chimps do engage in lots of gay sex, but I'm not aware of any other kind that does. Human society is a lot more like that of the Bonobos, but I wouldn't really say it always was.
Anyway, Homosexually is most certainly 'against evolution' Gay people can't have kids. My point isn't that being gay is "wrong" from a moral standpoint, only that evolution shouldn't be taken as any kind of moral compass.
Are you talking about pages linked to from Autopr0n? Suicide girls? Autopr0n itself?
I don't really know that much about the pages I link to. I use a special program that just shows the pics they link to (and they have to be direct.jpg links, not to HTML pages in order for me to post 'em.)
If you get a Satellite PVR, you're probably getting a TiVo, American DirectTV PVRs are TiVos, I would guess BSkyB's are too. TiVos do not have a 'commercial skip' feature (30x to skip add breaks in a few seconds). The networks specifically negotiated it.
The less attention you pay to an add the more effective it is. Advertisers want the ads to pass right to your subconscious with as little critical thought as possible. If you don't pay much attention to the ad (yelling at kids, nodding off, wanking, whatever) great.
If you flip channels or skip or whatever, then you cost 'em money.
Not that I'm defending their idiotic position, but I just thought I'd point that out.
No such draconian measures are required. A simple mandatory commercial display device (CDD) will be required to be installed in the bathroom, behind (for the guys) and in front (for the ladies) the toilet.
A computer will detect when you fall asleep, and will air specially created 'sleepverts' that influence buying decisions why the consumer is asleep!
See, no draconian measures are required at all! Good behaviour will be rewarded with soma
5 years from now, there will be no commercial breaks. They will just stick a huge banner on the screen all the time like CNN/Fox news do now but with adverts. I guarantee it.
Well, actually they will probably still have commercial breaks. Fat lazy Americans who spend all their time in front of the TV will complain because they need to have pee breaks.
This is quite different from us intellectual people who spend all their time surfing slashdot/k5/fark/etc and have the luxury of urinating whenever we want to.
Maybe he just means 'social contract'. But still, if you can claim someone owes you anything simply for passively listening to radio waves broadcast on public spectrum unencrypted, you seriously need to reevaluate your position.
Its a bit different with cable, since you do actually sign a contract, but I doubt "must watch the adds" is a clause.
And how is this different from flipping channels, or going to the bathroom or something during a regular TV show? Or fast forwarding through commercials on a tape?
really, turner's CEO's position is really pretty tenuous...
Let's say, for instance, that someone wanted to produce an army of blond haired blue eyed men to take over the world... Now, the biggest problem is getting the army built and to do that, children must be born. That could take a long time if you just used the population of one country (ie, the country struggling for dominance). But now let's suppose that you could offer to feed the women of an impoverished country if they agreed to carry a baby for nine months. Poof, population explosion.
Um, the technology to do that has existed for centuries, it's called 'selective breeding' Using selective breeding on humans is called 'eugenics' and was fassionable in the 1930's, especialy in germany. What's your point.
If you're willing to forgo blond hair and blue eyes, you can build an army with traits that actualy matter just by choosing a few good donor men and a resonable number of 'good' (geneticaly) women to be impregnated by them (say 1 to 20). You can get a huge number of kids from just one dude
Or, let's say that the wealthy would like clones made of themselves and then when the clone reached a certain age, say 25, they would be killed and their bodies harvest for doner organs. By your own admission, these clones are real functioning people, but they could be in a situation where they are raised like cattle rather than like people. Don't believe me? Consider this, money talks, period.
A person might use there computer to pirate a DVD, lets ban computers!
A person might use their penis to rape someone, lets ban penii!
Or, we could be sensible and ban whatever it is thats actualy wrong, rather then an enabler.
You don't know what the hell your talking about therapeutic cloning does not, by definition, create a whole person. thearaputic cloning is like generating new hearts and livers and stuff in test tubes (well, really big ones)
Well, technicaly I agree with you. Cloning shouldn't be done now because of all the problems associated with it (namely telomere(sp?) shortening)
However, there is no reason to think that those problems will exist in the future. If we could be assured resonable success rate (at or higher the success rate for natural birth) how would you feel about cloning then? (for instance, if we coudld do it with chimps)
ESR might be more practical then RMS, but he's also a self-agrandizing wanker who's main goal in life is to make money and feel important. You can keep your sleazebag, politicaly retarded 'leader' to yourself.
I'm working on a group project in C++ for school, I usualy code in java. Anyway, I made one simple mistake (I think using the
10 compiler errors for one typo!
Microsoft was probably salivating at the thought of having a viselike grip on people's lives from the time they fire up their first video game as a kid, until the final time they turn off their PC before going on to die in their sleep later that night.
hahah, that's some desturbing images there... the final time they turn off their PC and go to bed at night to die...
Anyway, I don't think David Sheff painted Nintendo as totaly evil, although they kind of are:P (just look at their reaction to the emulation scene)

I don't know something about that just seems wrong some how...

Emo? I have to say I hated that term since the first time I heard it. And how can you have emo porn?
But thats beside the point. Any chance of hooking a fellow slashdot sig porn spammer up with a free account?

Yup. same guy.
anyway, Homosexuality is 'unatural', and it certanly goes against evolution. Should we ban that too?

Hrm, I can't seem to read. I still think 500:1 is a bit much though, if that were the case then there would have been 3 billion people in europe.
Yes, there are many non-Jews that were killed, far more than Jews, but at the same time there's like a 500:1 ratio of non-Jew to Jew
If by '500:1' you mean '3:2', then maybe. A lot of people died in the hollocaust, the gypsies were also singled out for slaughter, as were gays.
If you mean the war in general, I think it would be about 1:10 jew:non-jew (60 million killed, 6 million jews killed)
