core dumps, more like.
A few conflicts where 20,000 people die is far better than a World War II sized event where 60 TO 85 MILLION die. And that total only includes ~130,000 from the use of primitive nuclear weapons.
Are small wars bad? Of course they are. But big honking all-in fuck-up-entire-continents wars are FAR worse.
And of course that is assuming that the nuclear weapons somehow majically keep the big wars from happening.
There are at least two groups who want the world to end. One is kooky, and the other is bat shit crazy. What do you think they are going to do if they get the chance of issuing a 10 negation weapon of God?
Never underestimate large numbers of people to lose their sanity. It happened twice last century.
As Albert Einstein said:
“I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.”

Can anyone translate that indecipherable gibberish into English?
I think the Amish are writing the stories now.....
Death is not a bad option, really.
Good to see that someone else is talking sense. The concept of human immortality is silly, and not well thought out.
Certainly the religious who believe in a second life after death would be deprived of meeting their maker, and would cosider immortality as cheating their maker from his justice on the newly immortal.
But even so, after the first thousand years or so, it would have to get pretty boring.
I listened to a TED talk the past weekend about this immortality. These people were crazier than shithouse rats, assuming how 100 percent of us feel, making pie in the sky predictions and completely ignoring anything that didn't suit them.
And its funny, listening to the people speak, the first thing I thought of was religion. More silly religion. Which of course, won't work because in a world where everyone is immortal, who are ya gonna kill? Can't have religion without popping a few nonbelievers now and then.
Sure you can mandate when people have to stop reproducing. If we get to the point that it's a real option to, "halt", father time, then we should put a hard limit on when you can actually reproduce, not have sex, just have babies. In a case where false immortality is an option, we'd have to look very seriously at something like this as.
The Duggars called. They said they are going to keep flailing that thing until it dries up and nothing more will pop out. They're doing god's work, and your puny mandates mean nothing.
Simply bizarre. I reallize the a person is going to take what the market will pay them, but it is seriously difficult to imagine that they are worth that much.
I do know that model Kia. It isn't the ugliest car I've seen. The comparison to the Trabant is shallow like the rest of your humor.
Well then write better stuff for me.

Even though I don't agree with you, your scenario with that last line made me laugh so hard I cried! I needed that today.
Well played sir, well played indeed!
So we've entered the endless small war phase.
Try to find a time in history when the world wasn't in the endless small war phase (other than when the world was in a big war phase of course)
I think you might take a look at Afghanistan and what it helped do to the soviets. Those endless small wars do a great and inexorable job of Bankrupting countries. I'll take a few nukes every hundred years to a bnakrupt country fighting for gawd knows what in gawd knows where for people who want us dead anyhow, and are just using whoever sides with them at the moment.
Are you willing to bankrupt America to support these folks?
That's OK, it will probably only be used for browser hijacking ads anyway.
Just imagine how awesome they will sound!
Why would anyone, ever, think that me not looking at their ad should be illegal? I mean, are we that far gone that it's even conceivable to have the courts forcing me to view ads?
I think some of these adagencies saw the opening of Robot Chicken and thought it was a how-to plan.
The website I develop for actually sells a product.
THIS! A thousands time this! I buy thousands of dollars every year - and multiple tens of thousands before retirement.
And not once have I "found" a place through a web ad, Not once have I even ever clicked on a web ad.
Granted, by this time I block them all, so for the last 5 years, it's a given.
Last time I saw an ad, I had searched for something, a tire from TireRack, and the next dozen pages I went to had - the tire I had searched for on Tire Rack. Stalking me like no one's business. It would be like going into Sears to check on a tire price, and someone from Sears follows you to every store you go to for a week afterwards.
But I still buy thousands each year online. At least for me, present day ad stalkers paradigm is, what's the word?.....Oh yeah, fucking stupid.
