Also car seatbelt are bad for children especially buckling your kid without child seat could be deadly. Wearing a seatbelt is only safe when you wear it right and some people just don't fit the criteria, but wear them anyways because it is obligated. Skinny people tend to move forward before the seatbelt works and get killed because the belt moves up, ... small people are just not on the right height to wear it and might get neck damage, .. you should be so judgmental in some cases wearing one is good but for others it's just as bad. Making a law for everyone to wear it to me is stupid. >I'm all for it... as long as we-the-people don't have to pay for your hospital visit because you didn't wear the seatbelt. Lol I wear mine, .. but I think it should be a choice, .. not an obligation, .. and you don't pay anyones hospital bill but your own, ..

What do you mean chance, .. are you all claiming that live only exists on this planet in all those universes ? I mean they might not be intelligent, but life will find a way no matter what, thinking life only exists here is just plain stupid. I'm not claiming they came here to abduct people and shit like that, just suggesting out of all the solar systems out there, do any of you really believe that life only exists here ? To me that's just being naive.

Don't get me wrong it's really cool that they are able to do this, but that's just about it, .. It would cost more to grow sperm cells then paying someone to jerk off ! And they still need testicle tissue to grow it, ... so eventually they still need to pay someone in order to get that tissue, ... and then they need to pay for growing the sperm. Some people have issues with donating sperm, but how many of you want to get their testicles pierced in order to give a sample? And DNA doesn't fall from the sky so eventually they still need several donors like they do now, again I don't see the usefulness of this research, it's cool, and it probably has some value for understanding cells and shit, but don't think you'll see this on the market any time soon unless the father isn't able to grow his own sperm anymore, ..

I don't know I don't mind getting a pork or ape heart, .. or whatever, yet I wouldn't want my kids grown from mouse cells. Also, they still need tissue from human males, .. which means to me that the sperm cells that are breath, will still contain that persons DNA, I mean wtf is the advantage that they wouldn't need someone jerking off anymore, but that's about it. Aside from that I don't really see any advantages, .. they still need a man to extract the tissue from. And it's going to cost, .. more to breath those sperm cells the only difference is the quality might be better cause age might not matter, .. anymore.

It's true a seatbelt can prevent injury, but can cause them as well I once saw this movie about a kid thrown out of a burning car had he worn his seat belt, he wouldn't have ever be able to get out, and there are many stories, of people who had to hear their kids burning, not being able to get into the car, but the kid not being able to leave it because of the seatbelt. Wearing a seatbelt is just as dangerous, as not wearing it. It's like the car kit thing, .. using a car kit doesn't prevent the dangers of calling inside a car, .. or looking at your blinding gps screen when you're driving at night, .. talking to the person next to you is dangerous as well, having any conversation is dangerous, eating, smoking and so forth, are just as dangerous as calling someone. I think people should decide for them selfs we are big enough to do so, instead of being obligated, I think it's ok for justice to say you're not supposed to steal kill whatever, but leave the crap like a seatbelt to the individual.

Exactly the only sensible way to fight insects from eating the crops is to, set out insects that eat those insects, .. instead of working with pesticides, they should seriously think about breathing their natural enemies instead. And that doesn't require a lot of time to research, well the how to breath those insects maybe. Yet if the species evolves so might the predator that eats those. The only problem with that is probably that they can't patent it !

Just think about what companies do now with social networks, .. how they use that information, .. this shit is haunting peoples lives. About what they do in there free time, .. and I'm referring to the legal things they do. Those who pretend to be saints, are probably those have to hide the most.

Privacy is being able to say something without worrying that someone will abuse that information, .. there is no freedom without privacy. If you have to think every second of the time how people will interpret whatever you are doing or saying, then you are in prison. It is not about what you've got to hide it's about being able to do or say something without people labeling you.
