A lot of crazy shit can happen in a very short time. Germany went from a functioning democracy to Hell on earth in just a few short years. There is no good reason for the government to have this much information about it's citizens. The opportunities for misuse are endless.
Ever hear of a little concentration camp called Guantanamo? There are a lot of innocent people being held there. One you may or may not have heard about is the Bargram Air Base concentration camp, where torture is STILL IN ACTIVE USE.
Despite what you have been told by your public schoolteachers, the government is NOT your friend. That is, unless you are one of the few with "pull" in the inner circle, in which case you are above the law.
Don't be so sure that you aren't a terrorist. Redefining such words is a trademark of fascist societies, such as the one we now live under. Speak up against a government policy, and you may well be labeled as an enemy combatant one day, and black bagged off to some torture chamber somewhere for the rest of your short, miserable life. It has happened before, and it will happen again. Indeed, it is happening as we speak. Obama has done nothing to shut down the CIA's secret prisons. At most, he has shut down some of the more well known ones, while expanding those that are not well known.
A hundred years from now, Bagram Air Base will be synonymous with Auschwitz.
Ok, why do they need my phone number? Are they going to call me to ask me some more questions that I get shot for not answering? That is the final result of resistance to this form. They bring someone out to arrest you for not paying the fine imposed for not filling it out, you resist, and are shot to death resisting arrest.
If something is a law, it better be something that is worth being shot for violating, because that is the end result of all resistance to the government.
How would you like it if I came to your house with an automatic rifle and pointed it at your head while I forced you to fill out this information which I will keep on file and use for *some purpose* in the future, knowing that I did the same thing 30 years ago and used it to rob and kidnap people related to an enemy of mine? That is exactly what they are doing.
Your "team" is the same as the other "team". You are all a bunch of fascists. One of these days you are going to find one of those government rifles pointed at YOUR head. I hope you like licking boots, you sniveling coward.
He does deserve it, as he and his kind prevent others from executing first class mail delivery (thus further denigrating our "free" society). They claim that no-one else can deliver first class mail because it isn't profitable, but if that is the case, why do they enforce the government monopoly with jack booted thugs wearing body armor and carrying submachine guns and automatic rifles? They have used them on children too, when they opened local mail delivery services.
Why the FUCK do they need my phone number? So they can secure some warrentless wiretaps?
Trust, once broken, can NOT be mended. This government broke our trust in this respect when they kidnapped American citizens off to concentration camps.
If this census had come out under Bush, you people would be screaming from the rooftops, but apparently civil liberties don't matter when a Democrat is in office. Let's ask this question: Do you really trust the next REPUBLICAN administration with this information?
Scarring and clotting are different. Amphibians clot up just fine, and proceed to regrow the lost limb. A layer of new tissue will prevent bleeding just as well as scar tissue.
One would expect this to cause a massive increase in the incidence of cancer, but we don't see that. Instead, we see unchanged rates. This isn't an issue of different proteins, as is the case with most differences between mouse and human trials, this is a systemic issue. As such, one can now presume that there won't be any increase in cancer rates from this treatment. Of course, they need to move on to pig trials and eventually to human trials, but your criticism was unfounded. Indeed, it showed that you certainly didn't RTFA.
You missed the point. Having these types of cells does not make your life longer. They merely allow you to regenerate lost tissue.
This is a million miles away from immortal.
To use a car analogy, it's like having a car with tires that repair themselves when they go flat. Self-repairing tires don't extend the life of the engine, it just means you don't have to get out and change the tire in the middle of the road when you hit a nail.
If simply switching off the one gene is enough to allow regeneration, then it WOULD happen with an incidence similar to other single base pair change genetic defects. Something else is going on here. It could be that larger animals with the gene turned off die in the womb or something.
Ummm, the ability to regenerate lost body parts doesn't make you immortal. It just makes it less likely that the loss of an arm or a leg will end your life.
Violation of the NAP will bring violence back upon you. This is a fundamental law that governs human behavior, and is ALWAYS in force, though violence can and often is turned aside and misdirected. Continued violation of the natural rights of people will create ever increasing levels of violence. You can see this in any society around the world, where you will find that the amount of violence in a society is directly proportional to to level of natural rights violations, 99% of which is carried out under the name of the government, or in direct response to government action.
Nice exercise in absurdism. Taking the case of "nuclear launch codes" and stretching it to "a shit-ton of classified documents" is exactly the kind of thing that causes problems. No-one is talking about handing out employee ID codes, or disclosing how government buildings are laid out. We are talking about things like secret prisons, military pollution (such as my own groundwater being contaminated by the Ai Force dumping degreaser on the ground at a local airfield for 30 years), testing of chemical/biological warfare agents on US military personnel (and CIVILIANS we now find out, with a french town receiving LSD spiked bread some decades ago).
What is at stake here is secret governmental policies intruding upon the freedoms of citizens.
In fact, come to think of it, yes, ALL of that data that you are talking about should be revealed. This includes passwords and nuclear launch codes. They can easily change the codes and passwords (and security patrol schedules) prior to their release. If that is the cost of making sure that innocent people aren't being raped and tortured by our government in some third world hell-hole, then that is a small price to pay.
I would, and do argue against that. When an organization that has absolute power to do anything it wants gets to act in secret, terrible, terrible things will happen.
But then, since you seem to think that peace is the absence of opposition to your chosen state-cabal controlled paradise, so I don't think you really have any credibility.
Obviously SOMEONE has never felt the bone-tearing pain of the lash, or had to spend months in the hospital recovering (or dying from the resultant infection).

The lessons were learned, and promptly forgotten.

You call it privilege, I call it slavery. We are all slaves to our government. Don't think you are? Stop paying your taxes and see what happens.
We are nothing but modern day sharecroppers on massa's plantation.
You think you own your home? Try not paying your property taxes and see what happens. You are a RENTER.
You think we have free markets in this country? Try opening a business and don't tell anyone from the government, and see what happens.
I could go on and on and on. This country is not free, and hasn't been for a hundred years. This is why our economy is falling into shambles.

Write that, then. Also, expect to be rounded up like those evil, evil, Japs.

Depends, do you own any guns?
Not only that, but if they disable their radar systems, unlicensed aircraft will be able to fly about at will.

This is a special quest that combines computer science, robotics, and economics.

But switching off that gene didn't effect the cancer rates.
And it is easy to run away without a limb at all?

So you're saying he'd turn into Deadpool?
It is easy to come up with an absolute morality. It has been done, and it is called the "Non-aggression principle" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-aggression_principle

lol, truth bombs.
If only we ALL had access to such arsenals, maybe we wouldn't be sliding rapidly into serfdom.

Correct. If ultra-orthodox don't want to give organs, then they can go to the back of the line.
