Gene therapy is a long way off, but there are a number of things we can do today to improve the gene pool. The most obvious, of course, is mandatory sterilization for people deemed unfit to produce children. [By which, I...

Valce1 I know what you're saying... And yes, a lot of scizhophrenics (sp?) and autistics have contributed to the world in general. But I never talked about killing people... Sterilization and death are a loooooong way apart. And at the very least, do you agree...

Valce1 lol, I was wondering how long it would take for Godwin's rule to kick in here :p But yeah, gene therapy isn't related to the Holocaust... The idea is to slowly change people into something better (on an objective point of view, i.e. longer lifespans, fewer...

Valce1 It doesn't... My point was that oil is not the only industry to benefit from a war, and that there are other industries (both obvious and hidden) that stand to gain. For example, military contractors, and tied foreign aid. :(

Valce1 lol, you're too nice! Just leave her. If she changes on her own, maybe she's right. If she doesn't, you'll have wasted nothing more.

There are tons of horror stories about kids getting drunk and doing dumb stuff... But most kids aren't like that. In fact, a lot of kids can drink responsibly, without endangering themselves or others. Is underage drinking...

Valce1 Nice :) Good to see you learned from bad behaviour in the past! But hey, it's not a BAD thing to do what you did... In fact, many successful individuals made 'mistakes' like that in their past. The important thing is to realize that none of that stuff...

Valce1 Yeah... heard about the same marketing strategy for Nike and a whole bunch of other 'hip' products. Great for the folks who get it! ... but I don't buy stuff I see my friends use :P We're different people, and buying the same things detracts from that...

Valce1 Thanks for your input. I see your point... but from what I've seen, professional services and websites have their own domain name that they use for e-mail. I don't see the reason for a professional to ever use an unbusiness-like domain name hotmail or gmail...

I'm extremely skeptical... Anytime I hear a 'personal' story on the internet I look for glaring holes. Usually you can find one or two points that don't make sense, as people will include 'facts' in their story based on common...

Valce1 My question was rhetorical... :( Cheaters always win - I guess that's the principle behind the many successful scam schemes out there.

Valce1 Niiiiice! I think my cynicism has reached the point, though, where I automatically disbelieve anything that promises to give me money for doing stuff on the internet... Unless it's in miniscule increments like here :)

Valce1 Good point :) Still, I think maybe constantly learning to play new games is good practice for learning new skills... Though you're probably better off justl earning those skilsl in the first place, lol :P Then again... they're probably not as fun!!

Please note that this is about TV shows only, things get tricky when you're talking about more than one form of media. Please see my other discussions for movies and music :) Downloading TV shows - people do it all the time....
