@MrMeanderthal It only ends in hell if we allow gready,power hungry mass murderers into power.

For example the promiss of comunism was a utopia but the way in wich they went about building it was the farthest thing away from the end result.

Have you ever seen star trek?The utopia they have is based on the replicator technolodgy.They can turn energy into food and materials.Nano technologie will bring us the same in about 200 years.Take out money and religion from the picture=utopia

Magnificent! Three cheers for NASA and all the organisations pushing the envelope. And thanks to all the people making it possible - in no small way the taxpayers of the United states.

lol Your puppet government is controlled by the banks and the military industrial complex. Almost all of your high ranking officials are wallstreet people not to mention Obamas new years gift to you is the tyrrany law. How do you like that? You're now no better then China or the Soviet union.

Grow up! The future is eather a Star Trek like utopia or slavery,maybe extinction.Americas last hope for preserving it's constitution is Ron Paul. Vote for him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I do agree we should've let the banks failed, which would've forced our economy to crash - not being sarcastic, I REALLY believed we should've never bailed them out and let the US economy crash. But the 99% screamed out "Save our jobs and our homes" so the Gov't bailed these banks out thus bailing the 99% out! And now look where we're at - another recession is coming and we're back to square one again! You blame the bankers, I blame the ignorant masses called the average American.

[actracts]

Yes, and I would also like to have an Elven princess as a wife and a harem full of Twi'Leks and Orion slave girls - but it's all just a fantasy and not based on reality. BTW, high quality education is free right now! With Gov't grants and financial aid practically available to anyone willing to sign up - but what do people do with it? They either drop out or go after an easy degree that everyone else is getting.

@hinatax24 whats the point of living? you are going to die anyways and after even only 100 years no one will ever know or care you existed. my negativity is being realistic.

@zaphire150 Time was created with it, so there was no "before the BB". Yes, it's a complete mindfuck but hey, don't blame me. I guess that's just as believable as "infinity"...

[TheBlackIdentety]

@bigglyguy Good stuff? You're livin in a dream world.All the wars of the 20th century were broken out by money and power hungry bankers. Jew bankers financed Hitler in WW2. Historical facts dude.

Money isn't evil true but it brings out the darkest trait of humanity. Greed (something we inherited from our chimp ancestors,further proof of evolution)

[bigglyguy]

@TheBlackIdentety Money? Money is merely the unit of exchange of productivity; there's nothing inherently evil about it and it has driven all the GOOD stuff as much as the bad (in fact arguably more so)

360p? really?

@DiogenesofCalgary * Question? But of course,mans curiosity and ability to create has put us in space.One final answer is: We,...mankind are made up of ATOMS,the planet Earth and everything in and on it are made up of ATOMS.All in the Universe is made up of ATOMS.So at that level, we are all connected,all ONE.My Father told me once,that a really well educated,really smart man,realizes that he really knows nothing.Also,the more you learn,the dumber you get.
