and somehow we manage to keep a healthy economy, with productivity levels topping those of the US, with our shorter workweeks. hm, I wonder who is better of here.
By the way I'm 26, I own a 2 story 4 bedroom house (Own, not Rent) together with my husband (also 26), and we both work 36 hours a week, yes we have 3 day weekend every week, And there is beer in the fridge at my work. I have been in the US, and I'm very glad that I live in Europe.
and I am fluent in over 6 million forms of drugs...

Have you read the article? the robot only brings the medicine to the nurses and doctors, it does not interact with patients, leaving teh nurse more time for the interacting part of the job.
even with cloning you still need a woman of childbearing age to give birth to the clone. We have not yet reached the cloning system described in A. Huxley's "a Brave New World".
Terming the U.S. ban as a violation of human rights, he stated that everyone had the right to transmit their particular characteristics to their progeny, or to use cloning to reduce infertility.
How can cloning be relevant to reducing infertility. I assume that cloning is a last resort to infertile pleople. If you clone an invertile individual you would just get another invertile individual.
it could be just me butit seems to me that this doctor has some very daft reasons for this cloning.
"Like atomic energy, cloning can be used for beneficial purposes - to increase population and to open the window of genetic reprogramming."
Why the $%#@ would we want to increase the population of the world even further?
What kind of an argument is it who invented the internet, sounds like a fallacy to me?
I just think that people should be responsible for their own mess, why does that make me a commie (calling names by the way is again using a fallacy)?
it's always interesting to read all the possible things a guy can be tricked into doing with his penis (enlarging, pumping, drugging it with viagra (herbal or normal), etc...)

Why do you think that the majority of spam is form outside the US. Logically the majority would be from inside the US: think about it, spammers are probably more or less equally spread over internet users, lets say 0,01% of all users is a spammer. The US has the largest group of internet users, therefore also the largest group of spammers if you look at the absolute numbers.
Unless of course you would like to argue that there are percentually more spammers in other nations (I personally can not think of any reason why this would be the case, but I'm very interested in hearing your opinion).
The US should pay us this favor, as it is US citizens bugging us in the EU and other countries with spam. I get 5 US emails a day inviting me to invest in stuff, use herbal viagra etc.
US spammers eat up the working time of people around the world who have to delete all this stuff.
"I think all of us have found something in our e-mail that is highly suspect," said Eileen Harrington, associate director of the FTC Bureau of Consumer Affairs. "They may be subject to law enforcement."
Does this mean that I can sue all these US spammers who invite me to become a callgirl, get cheaper payments om my house, get a higher turn over on investments or grow a larger penis;-)
Not that I actually fall for these things, I never assume for a minute that I can get a loan in the US based on my house in the Netherlands, but it would be nice to sue somebody, just for the experience...
I can get really pissed of about this stupid spamm stuff which does not even discriminate the difference between continents when offering local (scam) stuff.
well, we do need some place to evacuate to if the Vogons come to buildt an interstellar bypass and destroy the earth in the process.
Lets find 42 alternative planets earth
if not all of this stuff is in Google, why not also go after altavista, alsk jeeves, hotbot, etc.
why in fact not go after everyone who links to this stuff?
perhaps someone can explain this to me, because I don't get it
apart from the long "who made it first discussion" there is the "who actually uses this stuff?".
I personally live in a country where it is almost impossible to get further than a kilometer away from the next place with fresh coffee (and getting one on a nice terrace with some extra cake and stuff sounds cheaper than this canned brew)
I do not have that notion, but it seemed to me that the person I replied to does have that notion. Perhaps I'm wrong and he was being ironic or something.
I'm positive my boyfriend will make me sit through this one. And I already have trouble watching an episode without making cynical comments every 30 seconds on the probability of the story.
these actors sound like they're going for the next complete hollywood fuck-up of a perfectly good working product (unless the put leonardo in the big green costume and don't let him speak too much).
The US govenment also has access to pictures of almost all its citizens:
almost all you guys all have drivers licenses I presume. Correct me if I'm wrong, but these are issued by the govenment (DMV department or something).
I wanted to make this point because this issues is frequently occurring in the discussions everywhere.
I suppose you guys in the US have pictures on your drivers licences, which I presume, are government issued by the DMV or something.
They already have access to all your pictures!
I thinks some people are overreacting a bit.
In my country (the Netherlands) a card is compulsory to travel abroad and for certain official occasions (getting a drivers licence, getting married, subscribing to University, getting a job, opening a bank account or lending money). For most of tehse occasions a simple copy will do. In all other cases you are required to be able to show your card within 24 hours (easy in a mall country). So in case I get in a traffic accident I must identify to the police, but I may do this the next day. (Of course I do have to carry my licence while driving). In most european countries there is a similar system. So nobody is tracking me with my ID card and nobody will ask for it at the hairdressers. We have had these cards for I do not know how many decennia and nobody is paranoid about them and nobody gets tracked.
