Another nice chapter, even if it is a little short. Now, I was under the impression (and KOTOR only increased that feeling) that Krayt dragons were a lot larger than Rancors. For one of them to fit under Jabba's room, it would have to be either a small one, either the room was enlarged or the Drago...

That show where her and tuvok were captured seemed to suggest that 7 of 9 was stronger than vulcans. How strong are vulcans and how much stronger is buffy than an normal human? Unfortunately ST has a habit of making nonhumans superstrong when they wan't and then not continuing that in other episode...

Pretty awesome movie, if it weren't for the constant product placement, and the fact that every single car in the movie is a new 2005 model car in what is supposidly 50 years in the future. It looks like a produce got ahold of an idea and ran with it, without any consideration to details.

Defects are the result of a malfunction in the genes, assuming I read Molyneux's post correctly, a hypothetical asexual gene is performing its correct function, although I see no reason why an asexual or homosexual gene would exist. Its impossible for a gene to have a "correct" and "...

So for all the people who think that this procedure would fall under the umbrella of homophobia, lets look at a slightly different scenario. If you could tell during pregnancy that your child would be sterrile and could fix that, would you? If it's solely a physical defect? Yes, I would. If they're...

Perhaps the new BSG is making such a splash in the ratings is also because the writers are making an effort to tie in real worlds troubles into the series. P.S. Sci-fi fucking rocks. Now if they would start showing anime movies on saturday mornings again, and some other cartoon series during weekday...

So what happens if homosexual couples in the US go and get married in Canada? They still aren't recognized here are they?

Here's an interestin question that isn't part of the original post. Even if everyone looked the same and had the same level of intelligence, would humans still self segregate into groups and discriminate against others? I assume that wealth would still be a big factor.

Not clones, just no gross variations; no huge noses and receding chins, for example. Or, everyone having huge noses and receding chins... Think of everyone looking enough alike to have a family resemblance. How completely and utterly boring. I imagine the parents of children with horrible genetic d...

What do you mean about everyone being the same appearance? Clones? Or just "perfect" facial features, but with lots of variation? Not clones, just no gross variations; no huge noses and receding chins, for example. Or, everyone having huge noses and receding chins... Think of everyone loo...

I know they reprinted the book, but did they actually change the artwork? Or just the concept pieces in the back?

Check out the Acclamator (sp?) infront of the Eclipse. I wonder if this was drawn before or after SW II?

Yes, it's fucking awesome.

Which wouldn't be a problem if you were a borg.

Had a fan just like that....

What's my incentive to leave? If nothings wrong with where I'm at I say hell no.

That wasn't in the OP. The OP implied that there is a gene, that when active, would make the person homosexual. It said nothing about a malfunctioning gene. It implies that making someone gay IS the function of the gene. So, my point still stands that not everyone would be born with this gene to be...

Assuming that the child had the gene in the first place. I'm assuming this is something that is common to all humans and that someone becomes a homosexual through the malfunction of the gene, which in this case could be controlled by a genetist.. Who cares? If the public uproar is sufficient to cau...

I haven't kept up on this and the results of the different types of teaching seem to go back and forth as to which is best. I just thought that the last I had heard that the ESL version eventually works better although in the begining it's tougher. I most certainly can be wrong on this since, like ...

You can have a host mother impregnated with donated fetus, or in the case that the couple is female just have artifical insemination done.

Congress believes the extension would trim energy costs by cutting the need for artificial light in the evenings.

It doesn't cut the need, since how we measure the time is arbitrary. It will still be dark if we call 5 A.M. that or 6 A.M.

Well this blows, when did all of the ST actors get so old? It seems like it kinda sunk up on us. Can you imagine what its going to be like when the captain himself dies...

Imagine the uproar if gay parents adopting a fetus chose to alter it's gene's such that the child would be a homosexual.

This might be a legitamit point as far as teaching the students but there's a lot of controversy on how students with English as their second language should be taught in school. It's a big issue down here and so far I think that in the long run the Spanish speaking students do better in the US if ...

http://encyclopedia.laborlawtalk.com/Ebonics Another report on the same story. Personally, I feel that the emphasis should be to teach these students correct english, even if it means putting them into some sort of ESL program, not pander to the idea that it is some kind of proper language associate...
