Well. Make it so an amendment og other change to the Constitution had to be authorized by a 80% vote in a nation wide election? Should keep the bat bastards from screwing up too much?
Maybe its time to start all over. USA was an interesting project, but could not survive on the vigilance of its citizens alone. USA v 2.0 would be based on the same principles of freedom, democracy and liberty, but this time around it would be so bureaucratic that NOBODY, EVER would be able to change more than some minor regulations and rules.
All laws would be written by a collective congress and passed with 80% of the votes. This would allow only the most important laws to actually make it to the books.
Of course nobody read it. They are true patriots, and will of course vote yes on the PATRIOT act, no matter whats in it. The main objective for anyone wanting power, is denouncing all opposition as unpatriotic.
I used to be despressed all the time, and like you, I could never get my shit together.
The solution? Just forget all about yourself for a while, and make it a goal to never end a day before all that should be done is done. Now I' more or less always one hour ahead of my schedule. I try to fill much of my spare time with creativity, and I feel better than i have in a long time. You could to, it just comes down to realizing that the only way to be happy is to stop caring about beeing happy for a while, and instead focusing on the things that make you unhappy. Most of the time, procrastination is a good way to get despressed.
So, you agree by disagreeing?;) And yes, 2007-03-01 is the prefered format when it comes to programming, but I don't think the rest of the population would agree on that format, so we should stick with 01/03/2007 until the nerds unite and rebel.
I actually drool whn I think of a society of freedom and technological focus. But the vi and emacs people suicide bombing eachother will probably spoil the fun for the sane people who understands that its just an editor. Just as religion is just a collection of people of the same faith, not the children of satan / one true faith.
Yes, there could be an omnipotent creature. An architect of sorts. But yes, I'm still sure that there will be no afterlife. I did not rule out the possibility of some kind of existence after life, just life.
I'm an agnostic liberal centrist type, who believes that there very well might be an omnipotent creature controlling the universe, who might as well be referred to as a god. There is no way to know for sure, and saying there isn't is as stupid as saying there is.
But there is no Life as we know it after death. When you die your brain shuts down, and therefore all human conscious thought stops. That I might still exist in some form is not entirely out of the picture, but it is not Life. And how i live, will not influence it in any way. This is how far i can accept the concept of religion.
This cell does not initially have to be as advanced as a the ones found in a human eye. It only needs to sense the absense of light to give the host a perception of a predator.
When an individual gets an advance in the detection of a predaor, its survival chances increases, and so does the change that this mutation will be passed on through sexual/asexual reproduction.
True. Reality is not suited for the masses, but religion is. What better way is there to get people to kill other people they dont even know, than to tell them that they are a treath to our supreme way of living, they are the bad guys and God Almigthy is on our side. Do really God need our help if He is All-mighty?
Well. If one party splits, the strongest faction of the other might be inclined to split too, since they might be the ones getting a president that really sees the world like they do. This would also make the politics of congress and senate more fair, and open up for some new parties.
The first blob that got a lightsensitive cell on the forehead, and therefore knew when a predator was approaching, would have a great advantage. The first one to have split between the now small group of lightsensitive cells would have an advantage in sensing where the attacker came from. These would be more likely to reach their reproductive age, right?
Some species would have better survival chances when born in a hard shell, while others would be more likely to grow up if that shell was a uterus.
When a small malfunction is greatly beneficial, having a genetic disposistion to the kind of mutation that caused it could in turn make that malfunction more distinct over a couple of thousand recombinations.
Heaven is just the concept of release from wordly suffering. Heaven is that last brain impulse before you shut down for good. Not eternal excistence, and not even close to eternal life beyond death. This is what I believe. I sure hope I am wrong tho.

Yes, you're on /.
It's way too late
And how would you describe a person with his mind set on spreading fear to achive political power? A terrorist.
Thats it. Any logical person should be aware that a "fear monger" is a terrorist who uses fear and threat of violence to shape public opinion.
I just change the SSID to Open.Net ;)

You know, Europe is not a federation, yet.
Ant it must use XML as an "Information backbone" to call itself truly enterprise worthy.
Could you back this up with something showing that gmail is routinely cracked?
I use it on a daily basis, and this is interesting if true.

Yeah, I use YYYY-MM-DD in all my projects too. And if someone asks why, I'll send my army of ISObots after them. Take that, n00bs!
Uh. I need to lay of the sugar or something.
Oh shit! I just said to much about the rebellion!

I would think that Day/Month/Year is less backwards that Month/Day/Year ?
At least, most of the world think so.
Sorry about that, forgot all about the "Love your neighbour" attitude

Yes, and reviving all people ever that ever lived on this godforsaken rock sounds like a really good idea. Not enough people as it is?

Oh, like every windows smartphone is part of a botnet?
On my Windows Mobile Smartphone I can install 3rd party applications. If Im not mistaken, this wont be possible on the iPhone
