Freeman Dyson: Nukes and Genomes

[TheeVoiceOfReason]

Science is plagiarism if it could EVER be shown to be taken from somewhere. I imagine a creationist said that.

Creating Eden,

"Yawn"ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Total bullshit!

[fricktionvixen]

This was an excellent discussion!

[believerornot]

nuclear weapons have not stopped conventional war because nobody is mad enough to use them. This is why we have wars all over the globe still.

[BeondaPale]

Recently, especially under the Bush admin, the United States has spoken (quite readily!) of using nukes not only offensively, but even preemptively.

[believerornot]

@BeondaPale

Yes I remember. Perhaps that's why they started messing with Pakistan.

[Experiment47]

We will only eliminate nuclear weapons once we've created better bombs.

[shineon1967]

all science is plagiarism

[believerornot]

@shineon1967

no it is not

[fricktionvixen]

interesting statement, Why do you say science is plagiarism?

[ytertyu]

what this old fart saying ? eliminate nukes ?? wtf ..world is too populated . Too many chinese and indian monkeys chasing so little food and commodities . let's first eliminate those motherfuckers ..with nukes !

[usernamenotreserved]

It makes no difference if we use a big stick or a nuclear weapon, our agressive overseas behavior creates the need for weapons other than defensive. Obama has increased our military involvement despite election promises to bring the troops home. We create our own enemies and need to re-think who we are as nation. War is good for the San Diego economy but little else...

Very interesting. But a contrarian must always be, well, contrarian.
