Technological immortality could only be achieved by uploading your brain onto a analog device, which would always beg the question of whether the person is the same as before. If they upgraded the body to be immortal and still left the brain intact or build around it, then the subject would still be subject to neurological decay. Which would defeat the purpose of maintaining the greatest minds since they become obsolete due to the rapid advances in technology.

It's too early to speculate on the next presidential campaign, specially without knowing the candidates. Also, I doubt Palestine will take precedence over domestic issues in the coming election.

I just lost my Intuos pen because I forgot it behind and so to punish myself I walked 4 miles home under the Floridian sun...at noon; that will teach me

Sorry to hear about your dad WD

I take this post to point out that self deprecation and ennui are just narcissism under the disguise of deepness. Remember: "Non pascentur in troglodyte" What does the last sentence mean? use google translate, hint: "its in latin"

You're confusing self deprecation with humor, it's a dark sense of humor that tries to poke at personal insecurities so as to take control away from anyone who may notice. I do that a lot too. Perhaps self deprecation isn't the proper word for it, angst seems more appropriate.

Dr. Doom is above such attachments as his intellect and discerning tastes are to great to restrict themselves to just one woman. Seducing Susan Storm would only be for the benefit of proving Doom's superiority over Reed, as it was delivering his child when he couldn't.

Thanks for the tip, I was skeptical about trying Aljazeera but I will take your word for it. I guess all that remains is to wait for the situation to develop and try to sort fact from fiction, hopefully this will all dissolve peacefully. On the other hand it is supposed to be the year that the world ends and the apocalypse is supposed to begin on Megiddo.

In Roosevelt's defense, Stalin was a man of his word and kept his promise of helping the allied with the Pacific theater. Regarding the situation in Israel; I'm considering which news outlets might report with accuracy with respect to what's happening over there. Not to sound the conspiracy loon but a large part of the media is owned by Jews and they might prioritize their interest. I imagine that pending the result of the election there will be some public "justice" against Palestinians living on Israel; which might not get reported for the reason aforementioned.

Considering how much Michael Bay makes on the box office, i'm inclined to believe so.

It's the beginning of a problem, radical politics leads to radical ideas, propaganda and eventually violent action. I'm just hoping this doesn't end up like Rwanda in Gaza. The US has long list of allies who have been more of a detriment, e.g: every war done in the name of supporting a small nation in the hopes to stop the spread of communism. On the other hand all the Jewish conspiracy theories could be right. I also find it strange that they have lasted this long as an ally considering that there isn't any particular reason to maintain good relations with Israel, aside from securing votes from Jewish communities.

I get the feeling that will only remain as long as Israel keeps winning, were the tables to be turned and they asked for help we'd probably enter the conflict. After all the West has much to gain from securing an ally in the area, even if that ally bombs our ships and tries to pretend it was by "accident".

Yeah, that article is totally fake. You expect me to believe that a Chinese man cannot find a job farming gold?

I don't think anybody cares enough about Palestine to sanction Israel. Global public opinion is still unfavorable against Middle Eastern nations and I don't think that's going to change soon.

So is Citizen Kane, your point?

Or you could try a different approach; have you considered donning a monocle, top hat and fake mustache and walking up to them in disguise?

Satochi Kon may he RIP, he's the thinking man's Miyazaki.

I do wish he could had stayed doing Strike Back though.

So, immaturity?

Now you can't say that without another species as comparison. For all we know ants could be better at reverse engineering. You're over thinking things. No i'm not, its impossible to say that humans are good at reverse engineering when we haven't met another species with that capacity. We are not good, we are the only ones we know of. Actually, the Yahg are shown to be more adaptive than humans. So once again, over thinking. Oh, you're referring to inside the ME universe. In that case Salarians are the best. Not really, they don't really have a standing army. They're not that adaptive, they're smart, yes, but not as adaptive. A Yahg is shown able to learn multiple languages by ear and a 20th century-esque Yahg with limited understanding of future tech took control of the biggest criminal empire in the galaxy. Adaptable doesn't necessarily means good at reverse engineering,and since the Yahg adapt to their environment and not the other way around I don't think they are good at it.
