I was just using that as a baseline, at the cheapest it would be $1,000,000+.

That is a really broad concept, like saying "just make the brain bigger". We could add some things but we don't understand mammalian brain chemistry well enough to do something like this in a lab in 2 or 3 generations.

Ever seen a chimp compose a symphony? Humans still have a small number of things that only we do (that we know of). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOLAGYmUQV0

That really depends on your metric for what is "supreme". Mountain Gorillas and pigs are incredibly happy when left to their own devices.

The middle east was MUCH more secure with Saddam in power and thus the price of oil was less volatile. He provided a concrete Arab buffer between Iran and Saudi Arabia and kept Iraq terrorist free. That is not to say he was a good guy, he was a ruthless dictator but this is nothing new, I...

This is the shit thing about a 2 party system but I think we can all agree that Obama has been much more progressive on this issue than McCain. Dispensaries would still be getting raided based on who pisses the DEA under McCain.

This kind of rabid partisanship is what is destroying America. It's not enough to disagree with your political opponent, they have to be secretly working to destroy you. McCarthy used it, Soviet Russia used it, Iran is currently using it....

Rationalize, rationalize, rationalize..... Next you will tell us that socialist western Europe is really a hell hole.

How is that artificial? Governments spend during recession to spur economic growth, this is Macro Econ 101.

Geographic ignorance FTW?

Actually the Microsoft plan was to claim it had given millions to 3rd world countries when it reality all they did was donate the license. Not only did this not cost them anything but it ensures that the governments, education system and everything else will become dependent in the Windows OS...

How is America going to hell? We live in a time of instant global communication, vaccines and clean water? Even with all the 3rd world suffering this is by far the most prosperous time in human history.

Because all you are doing is fooling with your brain chemistry. You can get similar effects either starving or overdosing the brain on oxygen. Consciousness is just complicated chemistry and marijuana was actually the "Rosetta stone" in helping to unlock the Anandamide system.

Our world is filled with shades of grey but some things are black and white. The Holocaust happened and 6 million European Jews were murdered. If someone claims this didn't happen that is his opinion but it still factually incorrect. I have an open mind, all I ask for is that you back up...

Actually I think it is pretty clear that we are educating young Mr. Phelps. I know I tend to come off as an asshole but that is because I am asshole. I really don't want to hurt anyone's feelings (seriously) but I do have a short temper when it comes to people claiming things are factual when...

They got flight training in Florida, this is public knowledge. Proof? You said that Haliburton builds aircraft, weapons and ammo and you got called on it. Stop trying to change the subject. Also those types of contracts are nothing new and are an example of how FUBAR our military...

They are not running it. The borders with Iran and Pakistan are pretty much pours and if they can't get it out there they use their Arab contacts to fly it through Dubai. I am telling you guys this is all in the book "Seeds of Terror".

LOL, we came to the same conclusion.

I feel about as bad for them as I do all the young Russians and Germans who died during wars where they could care less about the ideology. Like it or not the military is a needed force. I will be the first to point out the many, many, many times the military was misused but I can also...
