Er, I am supposing the page isn't a mockery of the consumerist society we're living in? >.<

Quote My old man, for example, has been doing about 18K miles a year, while my mother might do 2500K, max. How exactly does 18k amount to more than 2500k? Or perhaps I misunderstood something. >.<
I think, in general, that both men and women may be bad drivers and good drivers, though women tend to be more concerned with rules and such.
For example, my mother always drives ten km/h below speed limit because she's dead scared of accidents, whereas my dad drives 10km/h faster, because he wants to get places.

Quote Bush isn't an idiot. He plays the fool because it gets him votes as a lovable, harmless guy, but he is actually very smart and a cunning, calculating #######, as well as a damn good actor. Anyone ever notice how his goofiness disappears when he's making a serious speech? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA It's Rumsfeldt pulling the strings when there's some real action going. Didn't you know?

With better developed motors that had higher combustion eficiency, and with the developing of fusion technology, energy supply would be no problem. Problem is, it requires the oil to run out first, because otherwise there wont be any desperate need to find alternative energy sources.

Quote One of the best things will be 2003 was the year that my soon-to-be-world-famous band formed. Or something. I wish you good luck. Me and a friend started up a b-pop-project last year. So far we haven't even gotten together to talk about it, other than deciding we're to becalled "DIe Reinwurmen"... Hopefully you have more ambitiousness, and plans for good music. This world needs more music!

Frankly, people need people who are protesting against everything just to make things happen. If there weren't hippies who were generally obtuse and protesting, there wouldn't be much change because pretty much everyone else is not bothered...
Every large protest movement's got to be started somewhere, and that somewhere is more often than not the universities and over-engaged people with high ideals.

Quote BUT I am against placing a base on the moon when the best place to put a permanent space base is in L1 (lagrange zone) a neutral gravity area between the Earth and moon where there is no pull from either celestial body. Making space inhabitable for people include having a gravity field that makes it more like... er... home(?). Which means the moon is ideal, despite it have 6x lower g than earth. Placing a permanent space base in between would liberate the base from all g and it would be impossible for any one person to live in it for a longer time. Making everything computerized isn't a good way to go considering the relatively low standards of our androids. Perhaps if there were "real" AI's it would work, but there ain't.
I believe in creating a man-governed base on the moon because it would mean a lot to science and further space exploration.

Quote Now whether any of those distinctions are tremedously useful in an environment where 90% of the adult male population carried weapons openly is another matter. Do you have the US or Iraq in mind? -__-

The tricky thing with Mr Bush is not decyphering what it is that HE is talking about in his speeches, but what the OTHER members of his parliament are plotting while he's making a fool out of himself.
According to a time chart I saw in today's paper, US are pretty much the only ones though who've ever successfully entered orbit and landed on Mars, so there's no denying they got skill.

Quote Sometimes democracy is two wolves and a sheep discussing dinner plans... Democracy is the living proof that the majority isn't always right.

First of all, that was a good and informative website contributed by Chrysalis. Thanks
second of all: it might be considered off-topic in a way, but it still proves a valid point concerning energy, and non-renewable energy sources.

Isn't it sort of frustrating that they are including the plastic surgical compartments with cybernetics?

If there's a boat, there's got to be a brawling drunkard (or at least heavily quaffing) character. I volunteer.

It's not so much that they aren't worth anything, in comparison with what they do with their worth. I think USA is a good country, given it has democrats in the rule who aren't constantly looking for alternative ways of dropping bombs on their environment.
With a bit of luck though, we'll have several moon bases by the end of the 2010's. I hope I'll qualify myself as a scientist allowed to go research on one of them *dreams away happily*

Not if you're a netrunner. Probably. At least if you stay indoors and don't make to much noise of yourself. Or you stay useful to the right people. They'll protect you...
there's always the risk of running blank on the EEG scan from some nasty shock program though.

Quote (Blood @ Jan. 15 2004,21:34) Seriously folks. Anyone who thinks holding people against their will in a country described as an "axiis of evil" outside of any legal system with no charge, trial or evidence is a bona fide enemy of democracy and justice. True. True! Thanks for the support.
Quote To inject a note of realpolitik in here, the US is quite happy for us to protest their human rights violations because there's not much we can actually do about it. Might may not make right, but the biggest stick usually wins the argument. Very valid point, unfortunately. Mao Zedong said in the nineteenfifties that "might comes from the tip of a gun" (that sounds really geeky but it's a translation from the swedish version of the quote. I have no idea how it was originally translated to english. all corrections appreciated)

Quote encanta,
Considering exactly who is on this board how could you be considered more criminal than the rest of us. we have had everything from black marketers to women of (less than) ill repute. at least one of the members belong to a religion that suposedly gets together and has a party where they kill and dismember the host. So how could you be more of a potential criminal than the rest of us?Easy, someone who is already criminal is someone who is not trying to be something else. Whereas I pose as this 16year old innocent girl who does nothing, meets no one, lives lawfully. How more suspicious can a character be?

Obviously, if there's a will, there's a way.
And once someone breached the first wall, there's usually tons of other people willing to follow... cybernetics are coming through!

Quote Regarding people being let go from Gitmo indicating that they weren't involved - it doesn't. It means that either for political reasons someone's being cut loose, or that there's no longer reason to hold on to them. There are no reasons to hold anyone >.< The Swedish person is there because he is "allegedly suspected of being in touch with <unspecified> terrorist organisation".
He hasn't done anything, they can't prove he's been in touch with AQ, they are simply holding him captive because he is a potential criminal. With that logic we should all go to jail, especially me.

Depends what genres of punk you're talking about though. I like old school punk, whereas oi thingie is totally detestable. I really don't like that. For some reason.
Ska is better if it's british than if it's American. Capdown is about the best group ever alive, at least when it comes to ska. Err... if that's a logical statement or not is up to the beholder. Less Than Jake aren't but a pain in the neck. *uses not bad language*

So, what do you people think will become history of all the things that happened in 2003? Which are most likely to have an impact on the coming year?

Err, that's a lot of Uranium. How come Australia isn't a nuclear post-reaction hole yet?
Apart from the kangaroos I mean.

Quote However, the reason I am going to Glasgow really is for the history of English Department. For me the real fantasy literature and final voyage si studying the roots of the language, especially the prose. Its just... amazing. I'm happy for you to have found something to dedicate your efforts to.

stupid question warning:
what if you make a medtech, and decide to drug all people and have them flown to Hongkong? That would change the setting a great deal wouldn't it?
