But was that more political posturing to look like he really gives a damn? He's a weak little girl when it comes to the economic issues, softwood lumber anyone?

hahaha well put, and yes the problem would be the needed constant flow of decent arms. But yah haha M16 would beat some crappy Canadian Tire rifle lol, but i still don't think id want to take orders from some sawed off prick of a drill sergeant! Lol

I mentioned a militia so I

Courtney is a dirty old hag, and has gone completely insane by all accounts, if she did do it, she'll probably be living some personal nightmare for her lifetime, probably medicating it with those drugs she takes. Anyway, i dont know who killed Kurt Cobain but he's dead, and if it wasn't him who did such deathly deeds, he more then likely will never get "justice".

haha Id have to go back in time again before you did THAT and usurp your ability to get nukes and RPG's sucka! lol This could be an endless loop of time travel so maybe we should negotiate lol

I'd go back in time and tell every aboriginal person who came to welcome the Europeans with food and help to suvive, to welcome them with battle weapons and immediately defend their homeland. Then i would use that new found cash to wipe my ass (since it'd be useless) and live up the good life defending the first nations geographical sovereignty from the Spainish, French, English, anyone from any of those imperial powers.

lol i know that was totally random of me lol..

Storyofanickelfault?

I also have a Toshiba and have been looking at Mac's. I don't care what anyone says I enjoy them just as much as IBM's and they have less viruses. Plus I am starting to dislike XP, and i dont really want to use another OS on my Toshiba.

lol happy b-day to the old buzzard. Although i'd like to have a little "chat" about his "peoples prison"...

hehehe awsome...

Whose getting you to believe such things? You do have a choice in such matters. The Da Vinci Code really is a great book and movie, i enjoyed it as well. Again, we can bitch and complain about the possible conspiracy theory's or we can all get on with life and stop going to church.

Who made you believe it was written earlier then it was? No offense but your making generalizing statements about ( what seems like ) your religious upbringing/experience. I was never fooled by my priest on when it was written, in fact when i was in "confirmation" class i was constantly asking him about the validity of the bible and he'd answer all my questions. For the record i was brought up as an Anglican but am now atheist, all Salvationist religions are simplistic ( in my view) and give

Oh Matt, he's so dreamy! this thread makes me want to vomit violently.

I refuse to believe it because if i did, id so be so goddamn pissed! Timmies never takes debit, no matter which timmies and that's final! By the way dude, your parents are completely out to lunch. I concur with everyone, get a new bank account, and memorize your pin so that they cannot find out. And destroy the opening bank records ( usually has your pin and when you opened the account) so that they cant find those. It might even be wise to hide THAT debit card until this whole thing blows over that way they don't run to your bank and try to pull this " im his legal guardian give me his pin " bull-shit cause i dont know whether or not they can get it if your still under 18.

That was a good little debate, clearity is what i always try to achieve as well, lots of text are good.

I'd say uniformity is one of humanity's constants. Sure we dress differently, but those clothes were all made by somebody else, (unless you sow your own clothes, which is rare). This means that other people also wear these clothes, which means you are no longer original. We do indeed pick out differences in people but it's often in spite of ignorance, arrogance, racism, sexism, homophobia, etc, which are all fears of what is not uniform to what society does not consider "normal". I am not saying everyone is like this, i don

Good points, but does the basics: life and free will, run up against each other in terms of this experiment? For example, will this animal human hybrid have the same "rights" as we, i.e. life and free will ( if indeed we have the right to both). I meant sacred in terms of scientific restraint, personally im an atheist/nihilist so i dont actually consider anything sacred, im just skeptical that we can maintain our own moral compass with such science. And no, i dont mean morality in the religious sense, i mean in what we collectively agree on i.e. freedoms ( if we accept that the governments freedoms are something we agree on, but i guess for most law-abiding forum members they do agree). Scientists should be given the most freedom possible to do their research, but when their research does involve living species are we to hold their life/lives second to research? edit: keep in mind morality is totally subjective, this question may to you seem fine, that research comes first, but is there a collective morality that guides us, i.e. security of the person, i.e. freedom of speech, etc.

But it depends what's on this chip. RFID technology? What if your whole family's history isn't exactly up-beat? Will you be able to get insurance? Will this information remain private? Is there any possibility of it being public? I'd say that these are scary realities that are all too possible.

she's wild like that.. watch out now!

Very well put. Can being be a cruelty given the right DNA? Well i don't know, if i had my brain that i do now, but the body of a rat, and knew that i wasn't suppose to be in the body of a rat, then yes, horribly so. But if you knew nothing else then maybe you would only progress as far as a rat would because of your surroundings. There's just so many goddamn variables in this theres a lot to consider in terms of morality... Id like to explore this a bit further, why isn't our genome sacred? Should we make no things sacred as a culture? Or are we strictly talking the furtherance of scientific understanding which must never be stemed? Also does being human take into consideration a holistic understanding. For example, are you only human when you have the DNA of a human, and are physically a homo sapien sapien? Does adding these together make you human? Is human simply creating artistically, intellectually? Is it all that we simply do/think/ etc?

In a culture where the domination of, control of, and ownership of, everything wild, the creation of half domesticated animal, and half human domesticated animal, for the furtherance of homo sapien sapien, would seem logical. I am purposefully trying to refrain from throwing in moral judgements, but if you look at the way our culture acts with the natural world ( ourselves being apart of it, how we treat ourselves and others, as well as the rest of the cycle of life), you get a really bleak picture. As Matthew Good so succintly put: "We're ruthless, and we're cunning, and im heir to it all"
