Oh Jesus. Someone PM me this guy's IP, I'm beginning to doubt he's in Bulgaria.

Some genius thought it would be a good idea if GD had no mods, just admins.

[edit] please delete this someone

His argument wasn't that bad actually, but his complete lack of evidence let him down.

This is just going in circles now. The question is not if we can, but whether we should. 'Some justification' doesn't look like it's going to be enough here. Most people in this thread are looking for a damned good reason why we should clone humans.

I think he was actually being sarcastic on that occasion, which is paranormal in itself.

Adam wrote to the CIA enclosing a self-addressed envelope and they told him everything. Do try to keep up.

BTW: Thread: "Using gene therapy to eliminate stupidy" Ho ho ho.

Rota system. On decimal time, just like the trains. Anyway who needs gene therapy to eliminate stupidity? Just give me a gun, lots of ammo, and some creative legal wrangling and I'll volunteer.

If a gene or group of genes allow for a more effective organism, then the individuals with the genes are more likely to survive and therefore more likely to reproduce than those without the genes. This is the basis of selection. Random mutations in gene structure are a major contributor to more advantageous genes, although only a tiny percentage of mutations actually are advantageous.

This isn't called Hundredth Monkey theory, it's called morphic resonance, and line of site between subjects is not required. The vast majority of research has been done using rats in mazes.

He provided a stepwise logical argument as to why he believes machine domination is inevitable and a grim prospect. You haven't done the same for your opinion so you probably shouldn't presume to speak for anybody else.

Interesting idea. Does this mean that if everybody was able to reverse the perceptive process in their brain, that in effect time would be running backwards? That would be quite handy.

There's a big difference between having a phobia of machines, and developing a rationally derived prediction for the future relationship between machines and humans. Especially since 'irrational' is a key component of the definition of 'phobia'.

You sure that was on the sci fi channel? Sounds a bit Channel 5 to me.

I worked in a nightclub for 4 years and I can safely say that women fighting each other is one of the most violent, vicious and relentless things that I've ever seen. I don't think being more emotive is really going to help a society get along without conflict. Incidentally I saw a lot more women fighting than men. If that didn't convince you: Bodacia.

Plasma reaching millions of degrees within the MAST experimental reactor. China and the US are to co-operate in one of the most important research endeavours of our time - the search for a viable fusion process. Although extremely difficult and expensive to develop, this technology will harness the same processes carried out in stars to provide extremely cheap and clean energy. The fuels used are virtually inexhaustible. Deuterium and tritium are both isotopes of hydrogen. Deuterium is extracted from water and tritium is manufactured from a light metal, lithium, which is found all over the world. One kilogram would produce the same amount of energy as 10,000,000 kg of fossil fuel. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/2798197.stm

I already explained it in the title of the thread you guys are trying to degrade me and my professor won't speak to me that is prrof that the SIBS made the planet and the sun and clothes and space.

I would say that's pretty good proof that: (a) Yes we do take terrorism seriously and know how to deal with it, thank-you very much Chris, and... (b) looks like we're more committed to sorting out your mess than you thought, faf.

Why didn't you just post HI, I'M MR IGNORANT? FYI we have been fighting terrorism in Northern Ireland and on our own home soil for years, or have you not heard of the IRA? As for your views on what we do with our spare time.... well. With accurate information like that at your fingertips you're qualified to write a Simpsons episode.

So did we, it was the 'in thing' at the time.

Same here - was at work before.

I think he's moved on Zeo. Nobody here cares about gimmick accounts enough for it to be worthwhile

I think the question was "Which is more probable, active partner in male-male couple infected or active partner in male-female couple infected?"

Hurrah! That's more like it. I'll have a good look on my break. [edit] Uhhh... the link in that document points at the same file.
