"Faced with "pig heart or die", you'll fold. You can bet on that."
I cant completely disagree with you, because I am not, and probably will never be in that position, so I don't know how I would respond to "your only chance of living is this pig implant from a clone harvested for the slaughter". But I'm also not some crazed animal rights activist that values the life of an animal over the life of a human being, I believe that there has to be a balance somewhere between the two.
Now animals wont just be raised for the slaughter, but cloned for organ transplants as well. I sure am glad that america wont just eat healthily and not drink beer nonstop. Or maybe it really is better, now its just the same pig slaughtered over and over and over and over and over (you get the point). Man, what did that pig do in its past lives to deserve that?

Ya know what, i could ramble some more about how much religion of any kind is rediculous. But im not going to, because its one argument i cant win. You beleive in christianity to a point where you would die for it, i cant make the same clame against proving it wrong, but i know that someday you will all wake up.
"Imagine there's no heaven,
It's easy if you try,
No hell below us,
Above us only sky,
Imagine all the people
living for today...
Imagine there's no countries,
It isnt hard to do,
Nothing to kill or die for,
No religion too,
Imagine all the people
living life in peace..."
"Besides, how can you can believe in evolution when it violates basic laws of the universe? There are so many arguments against evolution that it's ridiculous."
Yeah I agree, id much rather beleive in a "god" that was invented from suffering and came to rule by suffering. Think about it, before the fall of the roman empire, christianity had a very small foothold. When it fell, people didnt have a perfect life anymore, in face, their lives sucked. The most common tombstone enscription was "i was not, i was, i am not, i have no more desires". Out of this "hell" people decided to believe in an afterlife because their real lives were so terrible. This is when all of these rediculous laws came up: you must go to church on sundays, the whole system of power that came out of the ability to rule people's lives, all you need to do to get into heaven is repent your sins to one of these officials that "god" never appointed.
If you can agree with this more than you can agree with the logical system of evolution, where accidental mutations can advance the species or just disappear, then by all means do it. I hope you get into your "heaven" and i hope everything works out for you. But i think you should remember that your buying into a religion that (like all religions) bases itself in anguish and fear.
You may read this and say "what a jackass, he just had to go on and ramble about a whole bunch untrue, unglody crap(and i hope you throw in, 'what a fag' or something really clever)" You should remember that you brought this subject up, and its one that shouldnt have been discussed at all, considering that the subject had nothing to do with the validity of evolution. In fact, if you would have payed just a little more attention before preaching to everybody, you would have realized (maybe) that the whole point of the experiment was to test the theory of evolution, and if proved wrong, you just might have more "proof" that you god exists.
So next time, dont bring your religious beliefs into a discussion of science, that neither denounces (no matter what my personal opinions are), or eulogizes religion.
And please dont mod me down for this ramble, the comment that provoked this response actually got modded up, so dont be completely biased, id rather hear a response than an attack on my karma.
"Although usually termed teen- pop, the music of 'N Sync and Britney Spears is not unlike disco: Both are intellectually underachieving, cookie-cutter styles that have made stars of performers not known primarily for their skills as singers, songwriters, or musicians."
And they honestly wonder about why nobody is making money? This is the biggest money maker for the industry, and its total crap. I dont think the american public has enough intelligence to finally understand that the stuff that they are spending their money on is crap, so why are they not buying CD's anymore? My guess is that if they actually liked this "music" they dont really care about music in the first place and they just gave up entirely. I dont think it has anything to do with the "new" trend of swapping music, be it over the internet, recording on tapes, or even just listening to the radio. I think the main problem is that people have been spoon fed the same crap (if nothing has changed in the pop world since disco...) for 30 years and they've just gotten bored.
The next question that gets brought up is why then are better bands, who actually do offer something intellectually selling records? Maybe because there arent all that many that exist; I'll still fork out my 13 bucks for a new Fugazi record, or my new favorite band Queens of the Stoneage, but most people dont like to think, and therefore, wouldnt like or even give a good new band a chance.
If the death of pop (please dear god kill it now!!!) is gonna bring the music business down with it, so what, I'll still be strumming away on my guitar, and I know that anyone who had any real interest in music in the first place will too.
But if anybody has any conflicting viewpoint on this, I'd actually like to hear it, unless you liked N'sync or britney spears...

Not to be rude, but shouldnt there be a better filter on this site, one to filter out all the jackasses, hypocrites, and uninformed uneducated plebians from posting anything?
Hell, hahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah ahahahahahahaha. Oh, excuse me, you were serious.
Sure that diamond will sure make a statement at your wife's next big dinner party, but if you REALLY want to be noticed, try wearing your dead husbands skina around for a while. Or have his eyeballs laminated and used as commemerative earings. I personally see no better way to honor the deceased than to flaunt them around as a diamond at social gatherings.
One last thought, who else thinks that this will be Anna Nicole Smith's next move with the ashes of that old guy?
It shuts out network OS competition, and it shuts out hundreds of companies that develop applications for cities and governments.
Listen, I like M$ as much as the next/.er, but if redhat, REALLY wanted this business they would go out and get it. While Microsuck is out monopolizing the computer market, nobody, save apple, is trying to do anything about it. If M$ is gonna go down, somebody has to at least try to compete with them.
"LAN parties are well known as the leading source of AIDS in this country. It is a well established medical fact that when so many gay homosexuals are placed together in one place"
wait, gay homosexuals? isnt that a double negative? and besides, that would make them straight, good insult loser.
You dont need any fancy gyroscope mouse to be lazy, I already lie in bed and use my comp, I'm doing it right now actually. I just use a wireless optical mouse (logitech mouseman) and and old calvin and hobbes comic book for a surface.

It was a point of ruining your liver, not what goes into beer itself.

You did purposefully put AMD, ATi, and *nix on the same side against intel, nvidia, and windows right?
Do you work for harwareextreme? It's flufF
are you dumb, or just dumb?
Yes, if the picture was of that man stabbing another man in the face, and this one, in my opinion, is.
