  • Blackwater or Debt Collections with UAV?

    Let's assume nobody here is in a war zone. Because in a war zone, the US military has a wide discretion to determine who's a target and whose not, and this technology does NOT show who is 'good' and who is 'bad'. And Pentagon released data about new technology tends NOT to reveal the downsides or flaws in its usage. Why? Because some Pentagon ...

  • Sexual Hypocrisy, Law Enforcement & the InterNET

    Thanks for a very interesting and thoughtful article that addressed current events, came up with new approaches, and put it all together neatly in one, entertaining article. My view on those folks who would employ our law enforcement authorities to charge and convict individual InterNET users, is somewhat different. I see these forceful, legal ...

  • What's with the hard sell?

    Why do I have to see a HUMONGOUS advertisement for this lame article on the homepage? Isn't it clear from the comments that this article is not worthy of our efforts? Believe me, we've tried to read it, but the layout makes it too difficult and it's BORING - we've heard this all before, somewhere else, and better - even the rickrolling - you must ...

  • Exceptions that prove the rule

    While I agree with Saletan's premise that it is better to eat lab-grown meat than traditionally produced meat, I deny the idea that people are incapable of reducing their meat consumption before lab-grown meat is available. His daughter may have learned from baby food to want meat, but my cousin's children, in their vegetarian mother's household, ...

  • Re: Western Cultural Imperial missed by Saletan

    Yes I am ranting and yes I used hyperbolic rhetoric which exxagarates, but it is geared to balance the blathering cultural imperialistic conceit from the West towards the Muslim world. And that's what it is: continued imperialism. Its not enough that you control Muslim rulers, subjugate Muslim economies (the GDPs of all the North African ...

  • Where do you draw the line?

    Saletan suggests that we should ''Help these women deceive their husbands and parents. If they want artificial hymen restoration, let them have it.'' Where do we draw the line for this deception? What if a someone wants to marry someone else on the pretense of being a Muslim? Should we set up a network of fake clergymen to convince potential (or ...

  • Liberty, Licentiousness, and Loose Morals

    There are few things today that the world still holds precious, pure, innocent, chastise. For the Muslim community, where Muslim rulers are usually as diabolical and deceitful as the worst foreign enemy, where ever mosque is monitored by intelligent officers or informants, where the TV, radio, media is inundated by racy secular sexuality from ...

  • What's Bringing Down the American Male?

    Why are males graduating at a lower rate from high school? Why are fewer males attending university? Why are homicide and suicide rates for males, ecspecially African American males, between 15- 27 so high and seemingly increasing? Is there a crop of males who are effectively 'throw aways', like the young males of the Mormon fundamentalist ...

  • Simplest Method -- ReGrow New Body

    What an interesting and informative news item, military medical research and development. Of course, it would be best for militaries around the world to ''stand down'' and avoid warfare and destruction of humanity in the first instance, but of course that would be too much to ask of our brilliant minds, spectacular research endeavors, and world ...

  • Contrariness is not new computerese.

    Contrariness is not new computerese. It's timeless, universal, and very human. The lyrics from the following tune were composed by Irving Berlin for ''Easter Parade'' and sung by Judy Garland and Fred Estaire: All night long he calls her snookey ookum, snookey ookums.All they do is talk like babies.She's his jelly elly roll.He's her sugey ugar ...
