    Warning

    You are about to read several assinine comments made by geeks who did not get their degrees in environmental science, geology, oceanography, or evolutionary studies.

    Please forgive them for their pretentiousness and understand that the various contradicting figures they offer as evidence for their claims are probably read from dirty pages left in the cache of their brain.

  4. Re:Thanks, Tom! on Funding Promised for Trips to Moon, Mars · · Score: 0

    I don't hate anybody, and certainly don't care if someone is richer than me. That should have been clear from the post.

    For examples of what I'm talking about, just look at history, when colonialism/imperialism was the world standard. Who benefited then? The problem is that our tax dollars are being used by an enterprise controlled government and there isn't anything we can do about it.

    They have to distract the American public with something. Does it not seem like space venture is only good for one class of people: the filthy rich? And what do they want expansion into space for? To stake territory and get even richer perhaps?

    This is not a "troll." I'm just suggesting that space expansion only benefits; at the present moment, the government; soon, the richest 0.5% people in the world; in the distant future, the riches 2% richest people in the world. Does that mean we shouldn't back it up? Not necessarily, but I think escaping the mess you've created is a worse policy than fixing it.

  6. The Reason for China's Increasing Censorship on China Locks in its Net-Citizenry · · Score: 0

    As we have seen from recent Slashdot postings [1][2], China (or the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) rather) has been increasing it's internet censorship. But what for? It turns out that CCP membership is in drastic decline. It is estimated that there are about 50 million members and according to international newspaper The Epoch Times (English)(Chinese), over one million of them have issued written statements of withdrawal. This has occurred over the past two months at a rate of over 20,000 per day. This is thought to be a direct cause of a published compilation of articles, Nine Commentaries on the Chinese Communist Party which provides a critical analysis of the CCP and it's last 80 years of leading the Peoples Republic of China (PRC). This past weekend, a parade was held in New York to celebrate this milestone and the potential future of China.

    That's interesting... you actually trust the CCP? It appears as though your patriotism has pulled wool over your eyes. I hope that you are able to try to look at things from a fresh standpoint, clearheadedly, and not let all the CCP's propaganda continue to pollute your mind.

    Furthermore, I find it interesting that you clearly feel you are an authority on things of the supernormal and unknown as you apparently feel you are able to discredit a person's opinion on those issues. Aliens are not the issue my brother, your soul is.

    Have you been on earth so long that your heart is no longer able to connect with the universe? Are you capable of being open-minded and actually reconsidering those things that you have been conditioned with? More than just your soul depends on your being able to not be limited by your two physical eyes. Please try.

  8. China's Human Rights Violations on Study Shows China Tightens Internet Filtering · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Due to the vast number of Falun Gong practitioners in the world (over 100 million) I think that the largest reason for this censorship is because the number of these people (who attempt to align themselves with truthfulness, compassion, and forebearance) grew so fast in China that they outnumbered the members of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), and since Falun Gong practitioners are not interested in politics, the CCP considered this a threat.

    This censorship by China has taken it's most cruel form in the sense that (and this is a FACT) there is currently PERSECUTION going on in China, and it is extending outside of China. The CCP is even trying to make moves on pracitioners here in the U.S. but OUR government won't allow them to.

    You guys can say what you want about Li Hongzhi, I just hope you don't make a huge mistake. It should be noted that there is PERSECUTION going on in China where the CCP is murdering, brainwashing, and torturing people who practice Falun Gong, a practice that centers itself on what it considers to be the cosmic characteristic of the universe TRUTHFULNESS, COMPASSION AND FOREBEARANCE (Zhen-Shan-Ren)

    Funding space programs and crazy physicists works well for governments who can afford it because the masses can be overwhelmed with all the technology and their minds will be taken off other multi-million dollar projects (like WAR and cheaper OIL).
