hmm anyone about? i guess i gotta hang out on the server more.. heya Corn gotta good bot or two? ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

i'm not quite sure that is possible.... it is a great ad

don’t get to caught up in the life support argument. They are separate issues, someone who is a functioning individual and is currently on life support due to accident, illness, disease etc already has the rights given to members of their species, and does not lose those rights due to the use of artificial support. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

yes. your looking at the very small picture by focusing on inventory tracking, and we have solutions to the resolution issue you mention. FCC is not an issue, find proper justification and/or enough money and their requirements disappear to the right systems.. the concept of RFID (or RF tags or any number of other names these projects are being pursued under) is far more than its current civilian implementation...eventually every soldier will have several, imbedded in themselves and their equipment, remember they dont have the same choices...... as to convicted criminals? society continually redefines what rights and privledges they have and the manner in which we 'contain' them. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

Find one. So do you adhere to Zenister's definition of when life begins? Do you believe that it only becomes human at the moment the umbilical cord is cut and it starts breathing on its own? Or how about earlier at 24 weeks when the lungs are developed enough to sustain life? How about much earlier when it grows fingers and toes and a brain? I don't think you've got to base the decision on religion. It seems very logical to me that, if you don't know for sure otherwise, you might be doing the wrong thing by killing the life at any stage. What scientific proof is there that life does not begin at conception? life might, sperm came from you living, as did the egg, but it still isn’t human yet. I'd appreciate it if you'd stop trying to make my definitions for me when it seems you don’t really read what I posted. I have never mentioned anything about umbilicals so stick to your own argument and desist in mischaracterizing mine. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

no. lots of things have life. that isn’t what we are talking about. all life is not human. i can provide a clear definition (based on observable scientific fact) for when a fetus is human vs has the potential to become human. you take 'life' every day for the needs of your own. Unless of course you believe you survive on inorganic material so you can stop trying to build your strawman as to late term abortions? if the fetus is capable of surviving on its own without heroic medical attention (and remember science not religion is responsible for the expansion of when a fetus is viable and for the extension of human life at the opposite end of the envelop as well) then it is an independent member of its species and should be given the full rights and protections of one. Before then, it’s continued existence, and it’s potential to become human is totally dependent on the host (mother) who, as an existing independent member of the species, has rights a fetus does not. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

no i can prove my 'opinion' again and again, as can anyone else that cares to test it under controlled circumstances.. that is the difference between where i draw the line and where you do, my definition can be backed up with scientific evidence. Hence it is a 'fact' until the evidence proves otherwise.. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

[reply to turn children into good little zombies, who are easy to control by parents and government? apparently ritalin did a very good job of that on me until my mother got fed up with it "that is not my son" and took me off despite doctor's orders.. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

umm we currently use 'RF tags' (larger yes but not for long) for military equipment with the airborne receiver some 150km away... yes these are 'passive tags' with no power source other than the energy they get from the reciever... yes it will...dont put your head in the sand.... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

not at all, we've been over this before. Until it can survive in the environment that the rest of its species occupies, it is not an independent, functional member of that species and is not granted the same rights as one.. those are facts... you might not like them, they might not align with your beliefs, but they are repeatedly, demonstratablly true. Until it can fulfill the most basic functions common to all members of a species, it only has the [I]potential[/I] to be a member of that species. Legislation otherwise is completely based on belief and religion, not on facts and science, poor methods of governance no matter what religion does it… ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

mine is stiff by not difficult.. in fact i can open it, check my pin with my fingers and put it back faster than many people can figure out how it opens and i just double checked.. i can still pick up my rig by the main flap ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

does the vacination cause and adverse reaction to smoking/drugs? or does it make one immune to the addictive effects?? aversion therapy (when misapplied and this would be a gross misapplication) is a form a torture.. edit:ok i read the full article...i'm wondering how it blocks the euphoric effect without affecting the human body's natural ability to create/experience the effect thru other means.....do orgasms get less interesting?? sounds like and immunization against having a really good time. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

since convicted felons lose a great deal of rights and privacy already..... is it easily removable? how about detectable without the transmiter? if this is something that can be 'installed' on you covertly....well the potential for abuse gets really really high.. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

helps if you declare war first dont you think? our country's leadership has hardly stuck to its strategic planning, sustainment and supply goals for a 'sustained two front war' for the last 16 years. (something that should have been more carefully considered before we engaged in this current conflict, and certainly in the way we have conducted it. We are simply not using the 'best tool for the right task' and instead trying the brute force approach…) A draft would do little to affect that, there simply isn’t the equipment in place, and warm bodies are useless without proper equipment and training.. if we were really as short handed (as you claim) I'd see alot less soldiers doing yard work and alot more training going on....if you want a larger, better military, give the citizens a reason to join by paying them better, treating their lives and families with more respect, and taking care of the effects war has on them afterwards.. a draft will do little more than provide cannon fodder... last time i checked, occupying a foreign country really wasn’t the purpose behind US having a strong armed forces in the first place... the 'necessity' (if it exists) was created by poor planning and execution of the current conflict. If we’d treated terrorism as the military issue it is (vs law enforcement approach we are still engaged in) it was in the first place and leveraged some of our less visible resources when necessary, we wouldn’t have line troops trying to do a job they were never trained for now… ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

hmm so you dont think an administration should have to provide enough justification to actually declare war before implementing a draft? ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

i should have emphasized the will part.... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

Ding! DONG ! All that means is neither one is a good choice for that. this sooooooo isnt news, but who else will be elected? ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

it is less physical but there are lots of methods to instill discipline without continual (and often pointlessly time wasting) assbeatings... there are 10,000 ways for a DI to make your life hell.... invisible is the way to go..but that is difficult when your 6'4 ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

much easier than wep/wpa to get working your kidding right?? WEP takes all of 10 sec to set up on any machine you add to the network... and you dont need access to the router to add MAC addys.. as long as you use 128 bit and dont pick obvious pass phrases its secure enough from your average hacker..anyone who can get thru it easily wouldnt have much trouble spoofing your MAC addresses either.. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

hmm i'd make sure you check on waviers, before you rule out other services completely.... there was a 38 year old in Army basic with us..."Pvt. Pops", if your enlisting for a shortage job field those waviers are easy to get.. but either way.. just remember basic/boot is the largest game of 'simon says' you've ever played, and Drill Sgts really are doing a comedy routine most of the time, they just dont like it when you 'get it' and laugh to often... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

"bizarre" perhaps... but since the practice is older than christianity in many parts of the world, it hardly qualifies as 'new' ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

You're on my wavelength lady. What happened to everyone on the DZ getting together at the end of the day and doing a big way. Who cares if it's a little Zooish. What happened to pick up formation loads? What happened to hanging out around the bonfire? What happened to just having fun once and a while, blowing off training, or coaching, or whatever? What happened to smiling in freefall? What happened to kiss passes, big rounds, hokey pokey dives, and a general enjoyment of the moment? you guys arent doing this??? daamn i guess i keep going to the right dropzones ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

just one??? no way to chose.... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

heh...I'll take that one too...he still scares me, and he is well armed ok so maybe i havent been getting enough airtime in the last month.....i it just amazes me when people (like an uncle i have) are astounded by the features they discover on their remote control...and have to share them with everyone they meet.... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
