Exactly, my Title II regulated Phone line is constantly being censored.

I wonder how much funding George Soros and his cronies have into this now?

We could look into that. But according to you (here) it would be a witch hunt. So I guess we can't look into conflicts of interest.

I'm not going to complain about "playing god" but this definitely approaches immoral conduct. Change this gene in something with a larger brain and you could create animals smart enough to deserve human rights

Exactly! Any day now they could make a mouse as smart as the pig I ate for breakfast!

How much RAM would a wolfram ram if a wolfram could ram RAM?

The early United States ignored patents issued abroad once upon a time...

India is ignoring US medical patents right now!

Technically it's compulsory licensing, I think....

Look at this list from the same website:

Because the only satisfactorily effective means of birth control are all in the hands of women, from the pill through the morning after pill to abortion

My dead grandma is a NIBY'er so good luck with that!

Another huge benefit to learning a foreign language (as an Americcan) is how much you learn about English in the process.

Another benefit you don't gain with programming.

What is more important ... schooling, or learning?

Most of the useful lessons you are going to learn in school are completely tangential to the actual curriculum.
