I would be against making a clone of yourself, so that you can kill it and take it's organs or something. That would be very wrong. A clone is a person too, and should have exactly the same rights as everyone else. However, if a parent wants to clone a dead child, let em' do it. As long as they understand that they won't be exactly the same, and not to try and force them to do so. Yeah, cloning just seems kinda stupid, but, we might clone a genius, just to advance society furthur. Or as stated they could become a pshyco killer that gets away with everything cuz they're so smart

Well I think that when it is still attached to the mother, and totally dependant, it's not a seperate life yet. If you could take it out and have no problems, then it's a person.

I think toads live more on land, and frogs live more in the water. I'm not even sure it toads grow up from tadpoles....someone plz correct me if i'm wrong.

Hey YT, making plastic sounds pretty cool. What kind of variable do u think would be a good one to test? I'm not sure what I can change without it totally ruining the plastic. Like, maybe there's something that makes the plastic harder or softer, or makes it more tolerant of heat or something. Any ideas?

Hey, that's a really cool spin on things! The ppl who take the Bible literaly would do well to listen to this, lol.

Also, I read in this book about the left and right sides of the brain. The right side thinks in pictures and ideas, while the left side thinks in words and numbers. The right side is responsible for this leap of thought and understanding, but because there were no words or logical thinking involved, it seemed like it all happened by chance, or that it just dawned upon you.

LOL, awsome. I only got three. Here's something along the same lines that yall might find interesting. Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are in; the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a total mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe.

lol, I can't even step on the things. Not even with shoes on. I don't know what it is. My mom even bought me this little bug vacuum, that sucks them up, but I'm afraid t use it, in case they miss the hole and fly up at me. eek!

It's gotta be an actual experiment though, where I have a hypothesis and am testing it to see if it works out.

Well, I am very afraid of spiders, and centipedes, and insects in general, but I don't think it's a phobia. Like, if I see one on the wall across the room, my pulse might rise a bit, but then I'll settle down really quickly, but then if it moves, my pulse will go back up again. Their quickness does have alot to do with it. Also, here's an example of something I did. I walked into my room one day and saw a centipede crawl under my bed. I spent the next 1/2 hour perched on a chair trying to see where it was, and if I could sneak out of my room to get someone to kill it. Would that be a phobia?

I'm taking chemistry right now, but I think I'd rather do somethine else. Like maybe an engineering type experiment?

Yeah, as stated, I think that believing in God and an afterlife will calm you. I often go into terror stricken states where I'm just afraid, cuz I don't know what is after life, or if there is a God, and so on. I doubt that'll kill me, but there is something to be said for a calm mind making a calm body. That is a pretty shocking statistic though. I'm very surprised.

Go ahead and try it. Hit yourself in the back of the neck, and see which way your head moves. I admit, the teeter totter thing was kinda out there, but it sort of explains what I mean. Oh, maybe it was a terrible reference, sorry.

Oh man, that picture has me all creeped out now. Spiders shouldn't be as big as a floppy disk.....ewww. *Shakes slightly* I don't know why I'm afraid of them. I mean, it's completely irrational. There's no way our ancestors that lived outside in the wilderness were afraid of them, so how did we evolve to become so irrational about such things?

There's no way that was a personal attack on you. If it was that was really really mean. And that zetatalk thing is so weird! I almost died laughing at the "monster sun" photos. I was expecting something outragous, but these ppl too pictures of the sun like, behind clouds or something and said that it was a "monster sun"! HAHAHAHHA

LoL Sayonara. I'm in 10th grade, and it can be in any area. I'm not really interested in any one thing more than the next. I know it's kinda vauge, but I don't know what to say.

Iglak, you seem to be really stuck on the whole movement thing, so I'll help u out. If you want to use that, I'd stick the word "willfully" in there, whether it be instinct or concious, and that should do the trick.

Hey, sorry if this is a repeat, but can you guys reccomend a cood science fair project for me to do? I want it to be something good, but nothing that requires materials or something that would be hard to get. Thanks!

OMG, Voyager was such a good show! I watched it from the beggining, and I even catch the repeats sometimes on Saturday evenings. I wish it was still on. Enterprise isn't as good....I just can't bear it.

That seems good. I was thinking a bit along the lines of like, what if there was no way to benifit it, and everything only harmed it. I can't think of a specific example, but maybe that could exist, I don't know. Maybe you could just change it to "ability to make use of resources at hand". Perhaps it is "something with different parts that all work together to survive." Even the tiniest living cells have that. To my knowledge at least.

Well, if time is a dimention, then time travel should be possible. Like, if time were to be stopped, nothing could move, so we must be moving through time already. But to change the speed at which we are going, who knows? Maybe we already have the power to do it, but just don't realize it. I'll be that we'll figure it out someday. And another thing. I don't think it would really matter what direction we are moving through time. Back or forward, or even sideways(what in the world?). All that matters is the speed. Or perhaps, time is moving through us, in which case we couldn't really move through it. Also, who's to say that everyone isn't moving through time at a different speed? Maybe we do control it to an extent(this was brought up before), but it's just too small to percieve. For everyone, things would take the same amount of time to happen, but for one person it might actually be slower than for the next person. It's kind of hard to explain. And you couldn't measure the time in seconds, cuz second would just be a bit slower for that person. So there would be know way of knowing.

Well, I think that even though many things are decided by the majority, it is the governments job to uphold justice, for the many, or for the few. It should protect everyone's rights. In fact, quite the opposite, it should be more concerned in protecting the rights of the minority than the majority, because the latter can take care of itself, but the former needs the protection. Oh, and guys, you might find this a bit funny, whatever you believe. It's a post someone started on a running forum, and the debate really heats up on the later pages. Enjoy! (I'm muffin there too, BTW, and stand almost alone, hehe) http://rwforums.rodale.com/thread.jsp?forum=9&thread=147625

I watched a video on it in 7th grade, and they showed an example of a bullet hitting a watermelon. The melon fell back, not in the direction the bullet is going. It makes plenty of sense to me, cuz like, if you push a teeter totter down on one side, the other side goes up, or if you're holding a pencil, and push on the bottom, the top will fall back. It's all kind of like that. And does anyone know when the documents will be unclassified? I predict a huge investigation when they are, and lots of TV specials .

I think that is an interesting idea, and I'll share with you some of my paranoia. Well, sometimes I think that my parents can read my mind. And I think that they were told when I was born, that if they told me that they could read my mind, then the power would be taken away. So sometimes I think really loud, "Ok mom, I KNOW that you can read my mind. HAHAHA". And then I look for a reaction. Sigh, It's crazy, I know. And one time I wondered if things only existed when they interacted with me, like If I turn around, the stuff in back of me appears. I guess that is not paranoid thinking, just a neat thought. Yeah, well that's about it. How bout everyone shares their paranoid thoughts!

Hmm, I don't know the science behind it, but yeah, your tastes are supposed to grow more "sophisticated" as you get older. I really hate onions, but my dad and mom both loved them when they were my age. And my brother doesn' t mind them. I doubt highly that our tastes for specific dishes (like curry chicken) run in the family, but perhaps our preferense for sweet, salty, sour, and bitter foods do.
