    That's what really worries me. Without prospects for marriage, what are billions of horny Chinamen going to do to vent their frustration?

    Um, marry someone who is not Chinese? It already happens in Vietnam and Thailand. Some even marry white American girls after moving to the US [pauses for the sound of conservative Americans' heads exploding].

    All of the primary English speaking countries are going down the same over-regulated path; Canada, USA, UK, Australia, NZ. They may as well be the same country as far as I'm concerned. Stifling, oppressive, paranoid, reactionary. Its times like this I'm really sad that I'm a native English speaker. I guess its time to start learning Spanish or something.

    So you can live in a non-oppressive country like Mexico, or most of the countries in central and south America?

    We need to fight to maintain our freedoms and there's no doubt that things have been getting progressively worse. But get a little perspective.

    There is this other country you may have heard of. I hear the speak quite a bit of Spanish there.

    Moreover why broadcast omnidirectionally instead of a tight beam in the desired direction? We already do this it makes zero sense to do otherwise. So on top of the long lanundry list of other things that all must line up we must have that physical line of sight too - like finding that needle in a haystack black hole that points a jet directly at earth.

    You do realise antennae are usually designed to have a main beam with minimised side lobes? Or, did you not take an antenna theory class, or even read a book on them, and are simply spouting off about something of which you know nothing?

    As best I can tell, and I've been studying it all my adult life, there is nothing in the Bible to preclude the possibility of intelligent extraterrestrial life. It is not mentioned as such, but absence of evidence is not evidence of absence and all that. The universe is a big place. I find it unlikely that we would find extraterrestrial life, even if it were reasonably common, for reasons already amply stated by others. However, it would in no way call any part of the Christian faith into question if we did.

    Also, there is this tiny little fact that there are religions other than Christianity. For some, discovering alien life would actually validate some of their beliefs.

    No, a species that is not clever enough to survive, dies. What supersedes them depends on the environmental conditions, the available species, and the evolutionary potential of those species (I'm oversimplifying, but I hope you get the idea).

    My estimate is that this will happen in 2050. NASA is saying more like 2035, but I don’t have faith in Congress to fund them.

    I, in fact, hope that NASA does not fund a manned mission to Mars. Spending billions of dollars to send people to Mars so they can hide in a hole in the ground praying that the next re-supply mission will get through is a complete waste. Anything useful a human can do on Mars can be done by a robot for much less money and loss of life.

    I became anti-corporatist.

    So you have no objections to sole proprietorships or partnerships? Only corporations? How strange.

    Why is this strange? Sole proprietorships and partnerships have to be more careful since they do not have limited liability. A corporate charter grants many rights not enjoyed by companies owned by individuals or groups without a corporate charter.
