Holy shit! Chickenfist! How have you been?

There may be enough room to hold a lot more people, but we need that room to hold the food and resources the current population needs. If we use that space in more population, where would we store/harvest food and resources for all?

Sure we can survive by only eating vegetables, but there is a reason that we are so crazy about meat and that is because without it surviving is harder. Same reason earwax tastes like shit because to eat it is really not beneficial in any way.

Also, even if we can survive eating nothing but plants, we still need the other animals. We're all familiar with how the circle works, from plants to plant eater to meat eater and back again. And as Stu mentioned, we still need huge amounts of space to grow as much plants needed to feed us.

And once we can cure everything, our genetic diseases will pass on to the coming generations who will be dependant of these medicines, and if anyone decides to take them away, or some sort of social collapse occurs, then we are all pretty much doomed.

At least swords were a fair fight. If you had some skill and experience, you could defend yourself fairly confidently. I can't imagine any situation where you'd feel safe at all when someone pulls a gun on you.

But you just try and get society back to them.

What do you want us to do to prevent this? We give them education but they abuse the teachers, we give them job centres and encourage them to seek employment but they don't. We have offered them all they need to get their lives on track, but they are content living on the beneficts we give them for free. If we forced them to work or took away their benficts there would be an uproar. These are the same people who will burn ambulances because they represent authority. They complain about being oppressed by the police as if a high police presence in a high crime area is a breech of human rights. Yes there is a problem, but the problem is perpetuated by them, the government isn't keeping them down, they're keeping themselves down. If anything the government has made poverty too comfortable. We have given them everything they need on a plate, but they expect us to feed it to them as well.
We could help them by cracking down on crime, but apparently that just results in looting. They wallow in the filth of their own making and bitch that the government doesn't clean up after them, and when they do, they bitch about the government oppressing them. These are people who resent authority but rely on it to live. We have done all we can, if they want a better life, they have to put some effort in themselves. We can't do for someone something they aren't willing to do for themselves.

You can't council those people and you can't reason with them. The absolute least that could happen is they shouldn't be able to reproduce, but removing them from the gene pool would probably be best,

Erm, I do believe that actually started in the middle east, when the Saudi's allowed America to build bases on its soil. I think thats when the whole "America is the devil" thing started. Europe joined in once Bush came along yes?

He reformed Libya, made it the riches country in Africa. He did more than enough.

Wheres the proof that he actually did do it? As far as I can tell the twin towers were blown up by explosives not airplanes.

I don't need them, and frankly, I don't like how smartphones are trying to blur the lines between everything. When you specialize, you generally do well. When you try to do everything, you generally suck at it all.

But until I need one, I don't want to be one of those teenagers/20 something's obsessed with their phones.

It's a really decent PHONE and has all the features I have come to expect from a PHONE. It MAKES AND RECEIVES CALLS and has TEXT MESSAGING. ?20 on the high street.

I also have a digital camera that I use for taking photos and I have a Desktop PC and a laptop to play games and connect to the internet.

Stealing is stealing....you can't justify it.

Why steal music when things like the Amazon MP3 store and Spotify exist?

I just got Daft Punk's new album for ?4 on the MP3 store. I've bought lunches which cost more than that.

Things that make you smile:Not much.

I agree with soup miner whole heartedly, you told us about the experiment in the first post technically rendering any data you collect in this thread inconsistent to regular forum posting trends. Should have done a blind testing instead of telling us in the first post.

And Bill Gates never had an original idea in his head. All was either bought as you say or he bought the people to make it happen. And the operating system really hasn't "changed" all that much to actually help anyone--just how many copies can we sell for a hundred bucks a pop.

Then why and the hell were there so many problems on it's release? Because nobody could get it to work on their older machines. My boss just bought an older computer a week ago and bought windows 7 and couldn't get it to hook to the internet because why? because windows 7 couldn't pick up the older hardware. IT IS NOT FULLY backwards compatible and I will never buy it.

Oh I'm sorry. But anyway, normal religious people will always try to be good.

Religion is for the hope of a better life after death.
