>> The problem is that it's difficult for people to disconnect from their devices while driving.
>> You're not going to rip these devices off of people since many of them depend on it for whatever reasons
Sorry but thats crap. What do you think people did before smartphones came along? There is nothing magic about smartphones that they HAVE to take precidence over EVERYTHING else. Those retards need to stop using their damn phone when driving, not expect society to accommodate them forcing their stupid facebook addiction on others, possibly fatally.
Its not only the teenagers driving junkers, It seems its just as often the priviledged wives in their stupid status-brand cars who think they are too special to follow the rules.
Get real. No one will take the time to develop this stuff just for themselves. They are going to want to sell it in an unencumbered way or will not bother making it at all.
I'm totally with you both on the nanny car thing and on the natural selection part, but unfortunately cars are way too safe these days, and driver/texters way to many, for that to have any real effect on its own.
OK well firstly Mr. liberal high-and-mighty who's
too afraid to use their actual username... if you had to actually live with the crime and drugs coming over the border that we have to here then maybe you'd think differently. Secondly he isn't sherriff any more anyway.
Nah they're already proven dumbasses so they probably wouldnt pull off the road when the car was powering down, theyd probably just keep driving, so there would be road blockages everywhere.
Good luck to them. On my 15 mile commute to/from work literally every day I see multiple retards driving and texting at the same time, often not keeping in their lane, or even looking where they're going, even on the freeway.
I also see at least one accident every day where someone has driven into the back of someone else. Obviously self-regulation isn't working. It apparently accounts for so many accidents that it boggles my mind how using a cellphone while driving isn't already illegal here in AZ.
Personally I don't agree that the effort to prevent human death, especially accidental death caused by weakness of body or mind, is somehow self-evidently always good.
We are eliminating all forms of natural selection, which I believe is a very bad thing for our future generations.
So is obvious that the future is shaping up to be one where our own brains are hardly used any more, so like all other unused parts of our bodies will begin to shrink/disappear. We will be literally lost, even in our own homes, whenever we take off our visors because there will be nothing to tell us what to think and when. We will become the perfect unthinking, unquestioning, remote-controlled labour force.
>> How do you reconcile the "innate sense of right and wrong" with a billion people who think that's fine and dandy?
You said it yourself: >> The Muslims think it's right, moral and just to throw gays off rooftops
Muslims aren't a single people or from one geograhical place. They are followers of a religion that professes to have high moral values, just like Christianity professes to. In fact Islam has many similarities and even acknowledges many of the very same historical roots that Christianity and Judaism does. Starting to see the real problem with religion yet?
>> I just said the purpose of religion was to instruct people on productive ways to live to navigate through life
Well personally I dont need yet another government-sanctioned organization trying to tell me how to live my life, thanks, which of course purely coincidentally also involves giving a significant chunk of my hard-earned money to them. I'm not stopping you from chosing to be someones bitch if you want to though. Which is largely unlike the behavior most religious people who see it as their duty to force their religion down everyone elses throats.
>> In the long run, your secular morality will die because it is not a strategy for the long-term success
LOL total poppycock. If anything its going the other way, There are more atheists than ever and its actually Christianity thats dying out. I'll give you islam is growing fast, but mostly because they are purposely keeping their people uneducated, so they can easily brainwash them with crap like believing that devils are literally real and live in America. Actually kinda like many catholic christian churches believe, along with the world being 4000 years old, flat, and the centre of the universe.
Humanity has grown up, we don't need childish stories of made-up mumbo jumbo any more thanks.
>> Tribal societies with barely if any class distinction follow religious practices.
You might think they have no class distinction but I bet they don't. Its basic human nature that as soon as you put 3 humans together one of them tells the other 2 that he's the leader, and the second one will tell the 3rd one that he's the leader's right-hand man.
society, common sense, a desire to get along with others for mutual benefit, human sympathy and an innate sense of right and wrong that nearly all humans are already born with.
If, as you claimed, religion is the only source of morality, then non-religious people would be incapable of sincerely having any moral values at all, which is clearly just not the case.
As for your ludicrous claim that the church can't get rid of its assets because no-one would buy them, that is beyond laughable, and just further underlines the insane lies you Catholics have to tell yourselves just to be able to rationalize/ignore the blatant hypocrisy in the man-made establishment you support.
>> Without that basis people's sense of right and wrong is just whatever the TV says this week,
Total baloney. Morality is not dictated only by religion. In fact religion, especially roman catholic christianity has been responsible for most of the worst wars and other atrocities of mankind. I'll believe the pope is sincere or even following the basic tenets of the bible when the roman catholic church sell their golden palaces and give the money to the poor.
Buying a home has never been easy. IT's always taken hard work and commitment to achieve. Millenials have just the same chances as everyone else ever had, its just that many prefer to not spend the money/time on home ownership, so they can rent and keep more fluid (i.e. not locked down to an individual location) and also have more expendable income to keep up with the latest iPhone or whatever.
I doubt it. Religion is nothing more than a place-holder to explain mechanisms that an individual doesn't understand properly. its basically the equivalent of when early mapmakers used to write "Here be Dragons" on areas they knew nothing about.
Tell me one time when a scientific theory has been generally accepted as having been replaced by a religious teaching.
Well for starters stop the media continually telling females that they are special little princesses and instead get them refocussed on the idea of true equality and that a relationship requires equal contribution from both halves.

It doesn't. This is a blatantly misleading (and therefore presumably bought-and-paid-for by AMD) article.

Since when ever was this NOT happening? , specially with digital interfaces such as HDMI. This is total bullshit

Vt oatenting the tech then not implementing it, basically camping on it so stopping others doing it too.

No, its there to build a stable framework in which to have and raise kids.
