Researchers have learned how to make light-activated brain cells that can affect deep-brain structures and help us in "building useful handles on the very things that make us ourselves". And yet, I'm the only person who tagged this article "Dollhouse". Come on, people! Star Trek references are old; you have to move with the times if you want to keep your geek license!
Light-activated brain writing -> Dollhouse. You should know this stuff.
Now if only people would stop mispronouncing that. It's "Kwisatz" like in the video, but then they pronounce "hadurak" when it should be "HaDERach", where the "ach" is pronounced as though in Hebrew, Arabic, or German. It's a guttural "h" rather than a "k".
Bull, the Palestinian territories are occupied territories that a small but vocal minority of Israelis would like to annex (to their own demise, the idiots). While many consider them a part of "Eretz Yisrael", the old Land of Israel, nobody really considers them Israeli territories in the way of Tel-Aviv, Jerusalem, Haifa, or Be'er-Sheva. The broad assumption is that once the terrorism problem gets solved the Palestinian Arabs will have an independent state in, roughly speaking, those territories.
I see no reason why the US can't help promote general ideals (freedom of press, etc..) while not commenting on any one leader. I think it is morally correct to pressure Iran into NOT arresting reporters and killing protesters for example.
The question about anything the USA does in this situation is: will it result in more or fewer protesters and reporters getting arrested or killed?
I just want to ask: when did dark and brooding (also known as the "David Boreanaz douchebag look") become the ultimate in cool? What happened to bright and righteous?
Yeah, that was pretty much my point. Old people interpret the lack of activity as safety, and us younger folks interpret it as stifling fun, freedom, and achievement. I grew up in two suburbs; I know the utter ennui of it firsthand.
I think it is evident that I am quite anti-Ahmadinejad and anti-Mullah and especially anti-Arab when it comes to my ancestral country.
I'm sorry, normally I'm quite well-informed on ways in which Arab forces smugly try to steal control of the entire Middle East, but what are they up to in Iran?
I believe Israel has threatened to use military or even nuclear force against Iran if they acquire and threaten the use of nuclear weapons. However, they do not - by word or deed - have any policy or even slight effort to attack or wipe out Iran.
"Anticapitalism" is a completely pointless ideology. If you want to champion a cause, you ought to champion a positive ideology, your own vision for society, rather than defining yourself in terms of what you oppose.
Like all semantics with the implicit assertion of straightforwardness, employing the right-left spectrum is an act of conceptual violence, but from the perspective of ethos, it has both utility and basis.
Only until you encounter an ethos that doesn't fit the narrow conceptual "chopping off" you've done. Like, for example, the Bastard Nutters Party.

I wish I had mod points to get you out of +1 Troll territory. Sorry, bud.
Hello, it's a film series about brave little heroes overthrowing an evil overlord? Do you not see the irony here?

Yeah, but you have to live in the burbs of Scottsdale.

Oh, wait, Christianity. Never mind.
Yes we "took" their land, but the reality is military might has been used to conquer and acquire land for all of recorded history.
And that makes it OK, does it?
I don't think people like the BNP who keep going on about the erosion of British values actually know what those values are.
Yeah they do: British values means having better publicity than the Germans.

Fechez la vache!

He's not crazy. He is delusional. There's a damn big difference.
I believe Israel has threatened to use military or even nuclear force against Iran if they acquire and threaten the use of nuclear weapons. However, they do not - by word or deed - have any policy or even slight effort to attack or wipe out Iran.
And when Iran develops nuclear weapons, the USA will glass them. After the Israelis go first.
Yeah, well personally I don't think Nasser was such a smart bastard himself.
So how do you plan to get people to stop working so much?
I want that game. "EXTERMINATE: the Game".
There is nothing wrong with the suburbs. There nice, relatively safe, quite and not as crowded as a city.
They're nice, relatively safe, quiet and not as crowded as a city because nothing happens in suburbs -- desirable or undesirable.
Holy crap, is Los Angeles actually 100 miles wide?
Jesus saves. Moses invests. Muhammad stages corporate takeovers.

I think everyone is forgetting one thing: this tax break could go towards funding a Doctor Who game! Well, OK, one that's not complete shovelware.
