In Topic: Human Cloning

26 February 2011 - 08:46 PM

Cloning doesn't mean we need to clone the ENTIRE human. How about we just clone vital organs? Therefore the organs would be a part of you, just they aren't attached to you and could be used whenever you need them. The organ wouldn't be self aware nor would it feel anything.I believe that brain cloning or a full clone would be wrong. What use would it serve apart from cruelty?

it's definitely a big NO for mei don't agree in all of this human cloning idea, it's just as if, we're trying to "make" human, which means it's almost like opposing Godi agree in animal and plant cloning, but in human? not at allGPs were deducted for this post, please read the rules! - tedsb16

Wow? Are plants and animals somehow beneath us? Sure, maybe we are better than they are, but that doesn't mean we can treat them differently from ourselves (except in feeding (impractical) or other needs that differ from our own)

In Topic: Fossil fuel, can we live without it?

I can't say for sure, but if it weren't for the oil companies pressuring car manufacturers, we would not need oil. We only need it because most cars need oil and electric cars are overly expensive and more costly on the environment (batteries are toxic, transportation costs are higher etc.)Hydrogen cars are very viable, however we haven't spent enough in R&D to produce hydrogen from water with minimal energy costs. In fact, I believe if we spent the money from our oil consumption on R&D, we might have free, self-sustained hydrogen vehicles with 0 emissions.Also, i don't know if this counts as oil, but cooking oil can be used to run cars with NO modifications to the engine, so really, we are free of the oil companies as soon as we can get a hold of enough cooking oil (but then they would just replace the oil companies, not really fix the problem)Changes are coming, we just are being slowed down by greed.With what people have said in regards to renewable energy: The biggest issues are deployment and storage. Deployment will come with demand, but storage is something else. We can't just make the wind blow or the sun shine. We can burn fossil fuels whenever we want. The solution are high-temperature (or even room temp) super conductors. For anyone that doesn't know,t hey are special metals that can contain a charge infinitely(or for a ridiculously long time). This would produce very powerful magnets (to be used in power generation) or storing the spotty energy produced by windfields solar and dams. This energy could then be used whenever, in theory. I'm not sure how they could get out the right amount of energy from the super conductor or how they will get it into the superconductor, but if they figure it out, renewable energy would severely overshadow fossil fuels.

In Topic: should games be considered art?

26 February 2011 - 08:10 PM

if expensive and useless then it is art

Books are art, are they not? They are both useful(in an emotional sense) and cheap (libraries XD, and even not they are like what, $50 tops?)A game isn't art, only GOOD games are. However, what makes a GOOD game is in the eyes of the beholder, therefore they are much like art in that sense. (Runways have some of the ugliest clothes, but they are still art to some people XD)

In Topic: should bullying be illegal?

26 February 2011 - 08:07 PM

It already is illegal. Harassment and assault XDIf it isn't enough to amount to that, then you either gotta deal with it or get help from friends/teachers/family. The world isn't a nice place, but you can't arrest someone for calling you names XD
