Haha. are you kidding me? If things are lousy because of bad laws and bad rules, then stupid people are idiots because of the government. what you just said makes no sense whatsoever...

Unless you are just talking about biotech companies. then it makes a little sense. But also, then when people make bad decisions at the biotech factories, then is it blamed on the government?

Omfg. How many times do I have to say this... I think that we could very possibly do very well with genetic modification. I'm just saying that there is also a large % error, and if we do screw up, we will have big problems.

Well, i think that it might be able to go both ways, but QUAZAR? sorry...that was Ben...anyway... i think that it will go to the screwed side rather than the incredible super people side.

XP running...

if there aren't any drivers for his network, then how is going onto the forums going to help...? Magic Forums!!!

but you get my point "antimatter"

I agree with most of the things you are saying. I'm just saying that in the process of finding a way to modify genes, we are going to mess up a lot of people... especially our first few experiments.

People aren't stupid. in case you didn't notice, we are, so far as we know, the most sophisticated species in existence. we are just too curious... We experiment, and we screw things up. Trial and error. that's what humans do.

that's my point. we CAN modify genes, i'm just saying that in the process, we will screw up a lot of people...

So the laptop's internet worked with XP, but not with Ubuntu? the OS shouldn't effect the internet...

Why? Because we are changing what nature intended. look at how we used coal. Wonderful effects on the planet, right? Everything that we have made that has changed nature, we had destroyed something, and changing our genes is changing something big.

Still a useless and arbitrary label though.

i agree

Exactlly my point. it's just by the circumstances surrounding the event.

That would be hilarious if people's IQ was constantly going up with each new generation.

"Hi, my IQ is 7,000, what's yours?"

"Only 5,000."

"Wow, you must be a moron then"

hilarious, right? This world would be even more screwed up than it is now, which is kind of hard to believe.

Why are standards in schools being lowered? Why is the bar lowered for college entrance exams? Have you seen school books from the colonial period in the US? What grade schoolers read back then, high schoolers would cry over today.

 

We're devolving, dude.

Well, i have one thing to say to that. how can we be devolving...? All you have to do to read a book is speak English/whatever language it's in... how can we be losing the ability to speak, cause that's what your saying...

Though different color eyes might be a defect, it doesn't mean that it is a bad thing. Why do we care if someone is different then we are? of everyone was the same, everything would be a lot more complicated, and i would really appreciate dog tags...

personally, i think it would be awesome to have an eye with two different colors...

Why would it not be possible? All we have to do is find a way to do so. though it may take a very long time to do so, i think that eventually humans will find a way and screw us all.

Not if the internet port on your computer is broken...

Seriously. How can you say that there is no such thing as a bas gene or a good gene? I guess that it depends on your definition of bad, but generally by most human standards, being blind, or having a deadly disease is a bad thing...

Did you try multiple cables? if all of them don't work, then there is probably something wrrong with the computer, not with Ubuntu...

Does your sister value that notebook at all? just wondering.

ah, ok.

when you open Firefox (or whatever explorer you use) what does the message say? does it say it can't load the page? If you go to http://www.belkin.com/support/article/?lid=en&aid=6003 it has the driver download. If that doesn't work, and your comp. just doesn't recognize the network card, then you should probably not use that card, considering that you most likely won't be able to make the computer recognize the card.
