  1. Fascinating debate !
    A stem cell is just a machine that happens to be biological.

    It does not think for itself. It is "living" (in the sense it is biological, but not "alive" (in the sense that people reading this are!).

    Stem cells can be taken from the umbilical cord of a newborn, stored, and used later to manufacture new blood, organs and tissue, for that same newborn when they are injured, have a disease or grow old!

    Stem cell research has the potential to prevent all deaths.

    Stem cell research, if allowed to continue, has the potential to ensure that humans attain biological IMMORTALITY.

    Stem cell research helping us reach the ultimate aim of medicine - CURE ALL ailments and injuries.

    If stem cell research is wrong, then ALL medical intervention must also be wrong.

    Vaccines, blood donation, x-rays, plasters / band aids, etc, all wrong!

    Feedback appreciated!


    Essentially you're right however there are some minor discrepencies with your under standing.

    ????[/tab][tab]That is not right, possible, but wrong. Stem cells CAN be used to grow new organs, Skin, Even Brain Matter, but they cannot give us immortality. If you were dying of old age due to organ failure we could prolong your suffering but eventually you would be to weak to function.

    Y would you wanna live forever anyway, i mean even if we were all immortal that would mean we would have to work longer, go to school longer and be bored for longer.

  2. That is too funny for words! For those that can't understand it, try saying the words out loud in a Scottish accent. It is the accent that makes it funnier. If it helps, I will try to translate for you, hope it's still as funny and PIPER-4-HIRE, please correct me if I get it wrong.

    The rhyme doesn't work as well and some of the words I can't translate, but I think you get the general idea. :angry:

     


    no problem, some words dont translate all that well ne way.

     

    ALBUS- i understand where your comin from but if you heard it being read you would be ROTFLYAO, the joke it self is mostly in the expression and the acting of the person reading it.


  3. ok heres the deal taht i see...

     

    ethics mostly... i hate u damn people that belive every good thing is unethical... (besides the mass genocides of the early 1900's... genocide=bad...)

     

    but stem cells yes come from fetuses... (unborn babies)... this is where they ethics come in...

     

    first however some info you need to know...

     

    Stem cells have the ability to become anything and organ-tisue-brain cells... EVERYTHING.... they are just a cell that is told to do something and it makes new ones...

     

    so heres a question for you. say someone needs a lung transplant... he cant get a new lung right away lets say hes on the waiting list for 3 years or something... idk lol with stem cells we could have a stock supply of organs and stuff waiting to be used at any moment... we can tell them waht type of blood to need and eveything...

     

    Massive burn victims we can grow new skin for them to have to replace the burnt skin...

     

    the possibilities are endless... but ethics prevent us from doing anything...

     

    heres another thing... people can abort babies... (killing the unborn baby...)

     

    WTF isnt that just as bad as taking the ABORTED baby for science... instead of throwing it away use it for fing science... waht else can it do... sit in a trash and decompse... damnit u friggen people who belive everything is unethical...

     


    That is my point damn hippie tree huggers and the"We dont think that parents should be able to abort their children" ppl(which by the way, according to the law are wrong-The law states that until a fetus is 22 wks old-it is NOT alive, and until the child is 18 yrs of age it has no legal say in its life)

     

    If we were to take 1 fetus and harvest the stem cells we could save more lives than if that child grew up and donated blood regularly.


  4. Create a login script using php and then only let users who have logged in be able to access those pages. This is very easy to do since there are login scripts all over the internet which you can get just by searching for them in google. I wrote my own just because i wanted to know how to do it. Then, to make sure only registered users can get to the pages, first of all only show the links to them if a predicate like logged_in is true and also put a check at the top of the code for those pages that also makes the same check. The reason for the second check is that it will prevent people from just typing in the address of the members only page and being able to see it with out registering. Hope this helps


    i have the page set up, but i want to have the 1st page they see to be a short intro, with a list of files to download. if there on the page they're members or i have let them in via the backdoor i set up.

  5. i need some help here i have to create a new page, in a members only area of my site that has a list of tunes that they can download, but i have no idea how to do it.if ne1 has ne ideas that would be great.THX---> PIPER

    Notice from Dooga:
    The topic title is vital in a good post, and provokes more conversation. For your convenience, it has been changed to a more comprehensible subject

  6. wow...ppl just get dumber and dumber everyday. $500 in food fair tickets...man, you just screwed the pooch on this one. you cant get a job with the government until you get a pardon which will take a couple years, if your under 18 you kinda get a break but you cant even join the army because of this...

    so i suggest you get your self a paper hat and a grill spatula because no good job will let a convicted thief working for them.

    P.S. Dont Drop the Soap!

  7. http://www.affymetrix.com/estore/community/wayahec_leukemia.affx
    A group in London discovered that THC helps to kill leukemia cells by affecting a certain gene. MKP3, enhanced by THC, helps stop the MAPK pathway, which some scientists believe is a factor in the survival of tumor cells.

    So another plus for marijuana? Think that the U.S. will ever legalize it nationally, even if just for medical purposes? I think we're just too conservative as a country to do it, even if it has some big benefits =/


    I think it would depend on who gets in after they kick Bush out.

    As it is right now, with Geo Dubya and the Moral Majority types hanging around Washington, and commanding the influence they presently enjoy due to the Conservative nature of their policies and those policies stemming directly from the core of their Beliefs with respect to the Bible and Christianity, and all that ... (you can see where I'm going with this ... ) ... not until the Americans boot him out of the Oval Office. Not that I'm suggesting that there is anything wrong with the MM, but their political advantage right now outweighs their numbers, if you know what I mean...

  8. Me understands :angry:. Everything that has a begining has an end. In a way, you could say, death gives life.Sorry, if you're becoming impatient with me, but i cant fully understand this part, cause i'm still unaware of what kind of evolution you're speaking of.


    evolution and adaptation of a species for survival. as well as personal evolution-ie. maturing with age.

  9. Indeed, some of our technology has ruined the earth, and continues to do so. Most of which was created for convenience. But, apparently convenience comes at a price.
    Thanks for taking the time to discuss that part.
    Now, if you would be so kind, discuss this part also. Or have you already, and i'm not able to see?


    the meaning of life is DEATH. thats is inevitable, the Airborne Motto was Death is Certain...Life is Not.
    we live we die such is life, ashes to ashes dust to dust. when we die we are returned to the earth by burial where overtime we decompose feeding the many lifeforms in the ground...Thus rekindling the earth.

    this leads to evolution, eventually.

  10. TAE A FERTThis poem is appropriate for reading to an audience shortly after they have eaten the haggis - you will need an audience with a sense of humour!Oh what a sleekit horrible beastieLurks in yer belly efter the feastieJust as ye sit doon among yer kinThere sterts to stir an enormous wind.The neeps and tatties and mushy peasStert workin like a gentle breezeBut soon the puddin wi the sauncie faceWill have ye blawin? all ower the place.Nae matter whit the hell ye daeA?bodys gonnae have tae payEven if ye try to stifle,It?s like a bullet oot a rifle.Hawd yer bum tight tae the chairTae try and stop the leakin airShift yersel frae cheek tae cheekPrae tae God it doesnae reek.But aw yer efforts go assunderOot it comes like a clap a thunderRicochets aroon the roomMichty me, a sonic boom!God almighty it fairly reeks;Hope I huvnae *BLEEP* ma breeksTae the bog I better scurryAw whit the hell, its no ma worry.A?body roon aboot me chokin,Wan or two are nearly bokinI?ll feel better for a whileCannae help but raise a smile.Wis him! I shout with accusin glower,Alas too late, he?s just keeled owerYe dirty bugger they shout and stareI dinnae feel welcome any mair.Where ere ye go let yer wind gan freeSounds like just the job fur meWhit a fuss at Rabbie's pertyOwer the sake o won wee ferty.The author is unknown, although it is definitely a takeoff on Burns? ?To a Mouse?.Contributed by David Hain, Brockville, Ontario, who certainly livened up our Band?s Christmas Party with his reading of the above, shortly after Burns? Address to the Haggis!


  11. It is, indeed, a rare occurance. Like i've said, it also happens in nature. And it just so happens the births that happen in nature are all female. How would we know it happens in nature, if there were no findings? It just so happens, that we humans are different than all other animals. So, that should increase the possibility of a female, of our race, to be able to give birth to a male.
    But tell me something, would you know if you had stuff of the opposite sex inside you, if it did not appear so on the outside?

    Even science has taken the Bible into consideration for its studies. Since, it's been proven to be true many times. Assuredly, the teachings of the Bible is ahead of its time.


    it's not as rare as you may think... it is vary possible to give birth without having sex...it's called Artificial Insemenation... it does not prove that the story of the virgin mary is true.

    as for another way...Asexual reproduction is impossible in homosapiens and our relative's.

  12. Can you explain this a bit further for me?

    Alot of ppl beleive that it will be the wrath of "the Supreme Being"(whatever shape He/She/It may take) will be the destruction of earth.

    I beleive that mankind will eventually destroy itself, givin enough time of course, If you look at some of the world news over the last two yrs it becomes apparent that everything is connect, Scientifically and Religously, there is an old sayin "A Butterfly flaps its wings, and half way around the earth is a Hurricane." R they Connected? NO... however the meaning of this is to show that everything that happens no matter how trivial or minor can have consequences beyond human forsight. Th war in Iraq- Bush SR didnt finish it like he could have, The result- we now have GW trying to take over the world, Soldier are dying, innocent ppl are dying and yet nobody wants to aknowledge the signs of what some have called "The Apocolypse"

    - The Unusually long and powerful hurricane season
    - The Flood in Malaysia
    - The Muslim Riots over the mocking of Mohammed
    -ETC...ETC...ETC...

    ????[/tab] i say that the unusual weather is not doubt a large scale evolved version of the "El Nino" phenomonon from a few years ago, as a direct result of the way we treat the earth.

    [tab]the muslim riots over the Mohamed incident is as large as it isbecause ppl around the world are lookin for a reason to hate each other since 9/11 and the war in Iraq.

    Also... there is a massive power shift going on the Canadian Gov. is no longer liberal(Finally), Bush is no longer eligible to be elected, china is fighting to mecome the new superpower... we r part of a "world revolution", the way we know things now (world politics neway) will be obselete in 5 yrs. The United States will no loger be a super power after this war is over due to the massive debt it has incurred.

  13. if you wanna control weight gain, i find that eating nice sized portions of meals(1 plate-meat, veggies), more often(like for me i eat 4-6 times a day) will give your body time to build mass in a controlled enviroment, to gain weight but not fat exercises 3-4 times a week and increase your carbs and protein the days that you do. If you wanna lose weight do the same but cut out as much fat as possible and add an excersise program (run 1/2 a mile twice a day) and eat more fruit/veggies as a snack through out the night(instead of a after supper meal).

     

    [tab][/tab]The kid the call "lil' Hercules" eats 40% Fat, 30% Protien and 40% carbs and pound for pound(when he's training) he is considered the strongest person on earth and he's only 10 or 11,


  14. Indeed, many of us, are very proud of ourselves. But, if you believe in evolution, you would have no reason to believe that there is such a thing as sin.


    I beleive that there must be both.

    We were created by a supreme being, left here to fend for ourselves, with some guidance, with both forces vying for our souls.

    I also beleive that we will be destroyed not by god (or buddha, mohammed, etc...etc...) but by ourselves, thus starting the evolutionary chain over again, rekindling the earth.

    Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind. -Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955)

    The more I study religions the more I am convinced that man never worshipped anything but himself. Sir Richard Francis Burton (1821 - 1890)

    To believe in God or in a guiding force because someone tells you to is the height of stupidity. We are given senses to receive our information within. With our own eyes we see, and with our own skin we feel. With our intelligence, it is intended that we understand. But each person must puzzle it out for himself or herself. Sophy Burnham



  15. it hard to say which is best as the tech. changed between each one wich shifted the look of the game dramatically. i would say that FF's 7-9 were the best. FF7 was hard and all around the best, But FF8 had awesome gameplay and graphics etc. FF9 was a good mix of what we know as the FF Universe, But Thats Just My Opinion


  16. I would have to say Sloth AND Lust. im only lazy until i have something to gain from working.

    Yes, it's usual that there are many people out there that have commited all 7. That's why i'm amazed at the fact that some people only said that only one describes them.


    [tab][/tab]that would be because we are to proud to admit that the human race is really not as evolved as we would like to think. Yes- we are smarter than ape's but there are a few who have failed Common Sense 101.

    Again, amazed on how only few people admit they've done more than one..

    Humans are very proud creatures, as a whole that is our biggest downfall.
