How are we ever going to evolve to the point of ascension if we come completely dependent on machines to deal with our memories? Let's not repeat the asgards mistakes now... (if only in a general sense)
I don't know about anyone one else, but as a martial artist I see a serious problem with #4. While movies do exagerate how far someone will get thrown, the kicker definitely doesn't bounce off and go flying in the opposite direction. While I havent kicked someone across the room, ive definitely kicked someone into the air at least a few feet, and I wasnt thrown backwards. The way I see it, as long as you're rooted to the ground by one foot, the opposing force is tranferred along that leg and into the ground. For a jump kick, the impact just slows you down, you dont stop spinning mid-air and suddenly start flying back across the room.
You know, the enviromentalist tried the same thing with Columbia University a few years ago. Tried to sue CU, saying they killed some whales in the Gulf of California while doing some sonar mapping. I wonder... did they lose the case and then just blame the Navy instead, or is this a different incident?
