In 100 million years anything could happen. A superbug that causes DNA to mutate, sharks grow legs, lungs, large brains and a desire for human blood. Just because we have no reason to evolve now doesn't mean it wont happen again down the road. I'm just saying. But you're right, if the path we're on doesn't significantly change, we will have no reason to evolve.

While I agree that women can choose to be gay, I find it a hard pressed matter for a man to choose to be gay. A man may find himself so desperate for sexual gratification that he will have sex with a another man, but he will likely still rather have a woman. Or rather, his attraction is to women but he will get off with another man. Sure, its a gay act, but the man isn't that attracted to men.

Because being religious is a choice. Being gay isn't a choice. Ask a gay person. A gay man can choose to have sex with a woman, but hes likely still attracted to men and is still gay. Sort of like attacking a person for being retarded. They didn't choose to be retarded, and they last thing they need is someone putting them down because of it. So that is the main difference.

In this day, all it takes is enough money and you can really push about any agenda you want. In the USA, we have religious conservatives who wish to align our constitution with the laws of the christian bible. With the right amount of money and persuasion, we could be facing the exact sort of thing that Ireland is dealing with. That being, making it a crime to say anything blasphemous regarding jesus and pals. While I honestly believe most politicians use the christian religion as a means to further their political gains, there are still enough people in this country who do 'cling to their guns and bibles' to make the threat of a theocracy a feasible reality. All you need is the right amount of money and a mastermind with a horrible vision to high jack a country. It could happen any time and it scares the hell right out of me!

Its interesting that your girlfriend brings this up. I have always been told that the best way to attract women is to sit down at a table with bubble wrap and wait for them to flock to you eagerly anticipating the opportunity to pop the bubbles. Best I can tell, women are definitely drawn to bubble wrap as some friends and I have tested this theory. I'm curious if anyone else has experimented with women and bubble wrap and what results they had. Also, I'm curious as to why women are more inclined to be drawn to popping the bubbles than men. You should take some to a busy bar sometime and sit it on the table with you. Women will follow the bubble wrap!

Sega Not Giving Up On Mature Wii Games 92

Sega has recently taken a few attempts at developing games for the Wii that were targeted at adults rather than kids. House of the Dead: Overkill and Madworld haven't been incredibly popular, but they've done well enough to turn a profit. In Sega's eyes, this makes mature-themed games for the Wii a successful experiment, or at least one they're willing to continue. Other companies are looking to get into the act as well. EA will be releasing M-rated Dead Space: Extraction for the Wii, and Bethesda has a project in the works too.

I think the 60's something crowd had their action hero previously with Sean Connery, and then recently with Sylvester Stallone. Admittedly, I loved the new Rocky movie as much as I liked the first one. It was an emotional experience the whole way through. Rambo was an all out bloody assault. Stallone is the poster child for human growth hormones. We should all be so lucky to have that kind of rock hard body at his age! Sadly, we cannot say the same for Arnold, but I have a feeling we might see him come back. Maybe its wishful thinking, though.

Robot Fish To Hunt Down Pollution 55

An anonymous reader writes "According to the Financial Times, scientists are building a shoal of robot fish to be let loose in the port [of Gijon, Spain] to check on the quality of the water. The fish are equipped with tiny chemical sensors capable of detecting pollutants in the water. These let them home in on the sources of hazardous pollutants, such as leaks from vessels or undersea pipelines. Modeled on carp and costing about £20,000 ($29,000) each to make, the fish are to be lifelike in appearance and swimming behavior so they will not alarm their fellow marine inhabitants."

I'm sure there have been many that have tried to go after the National Geographic photographers too. They just failed. I don't entirely remember if anyone made a stink about the little baby boy on the cover of the Nirvana - Nevermind CD, but under such loose laws, that would pretty much be covered under child porn. How about seeing Eric Cartman's cartoon penis on South Park, or Bart Simpson's cartoon penis in the Simpson's movie? I'm certain that people have flipped out and filed lawsuits over this, however, I do have faith that not every official takes these things serious. I do believe that a lot of us have better sense about us. We are supposedly a centrist country in the USA, but we always have to hear about the idiocy of the far right/left jerks who feel the need to impose their views on everyone else. I could, of course, be entirely wrong and we're all just screwed.

Actually, it doesn't matter how you dress or how 'nerdy' you come off so long as you have one thing on your side: Confidence. Women respond to a confident man more than anything else. If you believe you can have her, you probably can. The instant you start doubting yourself is the first sign that you don't stand a chance.
