Furthermore, the Actel ProAsic3 FPGA chip isn't fabricated in China at all !!

And that's why not everyone is homosexual. There are lots of species of which a significant number are homosexual. That means there must be a benefit of some kind to homosexuality, so the truth is likely the exact opposite of what you said.

That's fantastic if they kick them out when they're 18. If it's when they're 14, it's a bit of a problem. The brides are indeed a bigger problem though.

In other words; basic research is absolutely critical to scientific advancement, and those that have to ask why are ignorant of how we got to where we are now.

Your link is kind of suspect - the big headline at the top of the page isn't supported by any of the quotes.

Having kids with a close relative DOES increase that child's risk of genetic diseases. As for mere sex with a relative, laws against that vary quite a bit, from not illegal at all to punishable by life in prison. Yes, some places are more backward in that regard than others. I'm not sure you can blame the bible for it though - there's plenty of incest in the bible.

So, you mean fixing their money against western money by 50% or moer, even though it is against WTO, IMF, and even the Clinton-China Agreement is not enough? How about massive dumping on the western market? Or subsidizing what is sent here? All illegal per the agreements.
Or the massive amounts of spies here. I have dealt with 2 spies already. One was working hard to get access to equipment that was ITARed (we had massive issues sending it to UK). This guy went so far as to offer bribes for it.
How about the fact that their Space Station is open to the military only? That means that they are putting manned military systems up in space.
I could go on and on and on. But even their own studies are about how to defeat USA, followed by EU. Yes, they want to break NATO and then attack USA, followed by EU.
BTW, most of us westerners think in terms of civilians in control. That is standard with democracies. That is NOT the case in China. It is shared between the communist party AND the military. Do not look at what we see as the top ppl there. Look at what the military says and does. THAT is the real power in China.

I hope for the day when we can get mobile kits that can be used for sequencing genome of all types of fauna / flora that are on this planet

At the way of the degradation of our planet's ecology, more and more species are dying out

If only someone can come out with el-cheapo gene sequence kits that are mobile, that can sequence genes of all types of flora / fauna, then, perhaps, we can collect the genetic sequence of as many species as we can possibly gather, before they disappear all together

That argument is nonsense. It is a standard talking point by the people waging this class warfare thing on the side of the rich.

Nearly everyone who works in this country pays payroll taxes which range from 10-12.5% since Regean jacked them in the 80's. Payroll taxes alone are nearly as high a percentage as the 15% rich people pay on capital gains.

Then there is sales tax, the lower classes spend most of their money, while the rich invest most of theirs so the poor once again pay a disproportionate burden of these which is why its called a regressive tax. The rich want even more sales taxes (aka Value Added Taxes(VAT's) because they regressively punish people who spend and give the rich a free pass

Payroll taxes used to be a couple percent before Reagan jacked them. Social security in particular started producing huge surpluses then that were used to fund Federal budget deficits for decades, in Reagans case to squander money on weapons that were never used. The so called "Trust fund" was completely squandered. To pay for social security and medicare now we either have to tax people some more, borrow it or slash benefits.

Most seniors who retired in before the 90's put almost nothing in to SS and Medicare and are getting windfall returns. People who started working in or after the 80's have been paying taxes through the nose for programs that will be bankrupt and probably gone by the time they retire. It has become a massively regressive tax on young working people to support often affluent seniors.

You might as well blindfold the drivers in the convoy, because at 50mph their reaction time works out to at least twice the 6 meter interval between cars.
Long story short, there is fuckall they could have done if something went wrong.

"not even the Rudd government would spend 1 grand per person"

The more obvious places you would use it would be to screen people entering elite organizations and the military (like the SS in Germany) or top echelons of a nationalist party or to screen prospective mates prior to marriage to flag genetic defects or undesirable racial history.

If you were sending someone to a concentration camp anyway, no I dont image you would spend 1K on them.

Most people don't know it but eugenics originated in the U.S. and Britain. Germany modeled got it form there and modeled their early eugenics programs, especially forced sterilization, on California's laws and program.

The Rockefeller foundation helped fund the eugenics programs in Germany before the war.
