  1. I'm not sure if this is where I can post something like this, but I just wanted to post one of my essays I wrote for school, to get other people's opinion on the matter. I wrote this myself, so there is no issue of plagiarism. Scientists have been trying for many years to make Jurassic Park a reality ? that is, they are trying to reconstruct dinosaurs from fossilized DNA. Trying to bring back Dinosaurs can pose many problems, of which we may not be able to contain. If scientists were actually able to reconstruct the DNA of fossilized dinosaurs, and create an embryo inside an egg, hatching into a dinosaur, how would we tame it? More importantly, where would it even be kept, most of these creatures grow to enormous sizes, and no human would be able to control it if it turned against them. It would also require food from the times before man ? plants which no longer exist, and can most likely not be brought back. Scientists have made a lot of advancements, and if things continue in this timeline of progress, then in thousands of years we may possibly see dinosaurs return to earth. It is in the best position of everyone on earth, that dinosaurs not be brought back to life through the work of these scientists. If we did successfully bring them back, one reason to do so would be for a dinosaur themed park, like in Jurassic Park. Another reason to possibly bring them back could be to prove and know positively that we can resurrect old species of animals, which would provide useful if ever needed in the future; like the continuation of another species of animal. People could also argue that it is a good idea because we could also possibly use them as a war weapon. If we made a themed park, how would we keep such a large beast caged in an enclosure so they would not escape. More importantly ? what if one actually did escape, and thousands of humans were killed, if not more. The cost to maintain them also outweighs the risk of doing anything this crazy. Bringing them back is a bad idea though, humans should not play god. We only exist in this world because of the fact that dinosaurs were wiped out millions of years ago. Using them as a war weapon too would be very stupid. There would be no way to tame these creatures. Scientists should just let the dinosaurs be at rest. We should not try to resurrect them, because it is a bad idea for many reasons. If we were successful, we would need a huge area to allow them room to move and eat, and it would need to be safe so they couldn?t escape and kill humans. If one was ever to escape, it could destroy an entire civilization, enough could destroy a whole country. It is also morally wrong to bring back an extinct species. Scientists should not be playing god, and creating these creatures we believe to be dinosaurs. It would take a lot of experimenting to actually get the DNA sequence close enough to reflect the traits shown by specific dinosaurs, and this could be considered torture. They could mess it up, and creature a horribly disfigured creature that would possibly not even live very long, or have messed up features. It may not even be possible either. The dinosaurs scientists think they could create may not reflect the true dinosaurs that existed millions of years ago. These will be creatures they created in a lab, from bits and pieces of DNA from other species that are its closest relatives?we could never truly bring back what dinosaurs were. This would also extend from the moral issue, should we bring back such a beast that is basically just pieces of other existing species, or should we just let this whole project be forgotten. The only true answer here, is that we shouldn?t try to bring them back. As previously stated and made clear, the point here is that dinosaurs, nay, lab created species of a beast believed to exist, should not be brought back. Nothing more than studying their remains should be attempted. The best course of action to stop the work of these scientists would be to make this issue more aware to the people on Earth, and start petitions to outlaw such an unholy practice. Humans are not god, thus, we should not be playing in his territory. The essay was about whether bringing back dinosaurs was a good idea or not.
  2. Welcome to trap 17 markzero. :DDon't forget to link your account here over with the one at Xisto, so you can earn myCENT. And yes, this community IS rather large.
  3. Last I heard, we were heading toward a depression, but I think the recession may be getting better. I hope it isn't bad much longer because I have been trying to find a job for after school, and no where is hiring.

  5. This is actually very very nice. I agree with zagubadu though, not saying this isnt good, but I agree that at night time, this would be a much better looking image. Stars and moon reflecting off the water.
  6. Don't get back with her. She is just hurt from breaking up with the guy that she CHEATED ON YOU with. If you get involved with her, she may say it is only to fool around, but it will turn into an emotional thing. You can't hook up with someone you used to have feelings for, and not have it turn emotional. She is just looking for anyone, and you were available. Don't get back or fool around with her. Once a cheater, always a cheater.
  7. I've used it before, and I don't much like it. I prefer Lockerz, even though it is pretty much impossible to redeem anything good (besides their *BLEEP* wallpapers).
  8. Welcome to Xisto, bucksdude7.You have made the right choice in coming here for web hosting. The plans are cheap, and domain hosting is at a fair price.What class are you taking to learn web design? HTML?Also, don't forget to register at xisto with the same email, so you can earn your myCENT for the free hosting. Have fun. :)If you have any questions, anyone here can help you, or I can help.
  9. I don't think formatting your hard drive will remove a virus. I could be wrong though. You could have just downloaded a good anti-virus program like kaspersky. They offer the latest version on their website for download, for about 30 days trial period. I have Kaspersky 7, and it works very well. I have downloaded virus infected programs before, and it neutralized them all, keeping my computer safe. You can also scan for current viruses and eliminate them too.
  10. I think it is ridiculous that pot is illegal. It is not harmful to you, and it is actually better then smoking cigarettes or drinking alcohol. You can't develop a dependency on it, or get addicted either.
  11. Agreed. It is ridiculous how popular this item is. It is nothing special but an over sized ipod touch. Definitely NOT worth 500-800$, I would not even pay $300 for this thing.
  12. You would be better off just storing files on your external hard drive, might be the easiest and hassle-free way.If you upload them to a website, then you will need to re-download them, and depending on your download speed, this can take a long amount of time and time consuming process.I am glad I didn't upgrade to Windows 7 now.
  13. Well, I recently began losing weight about two months or so ago. It was actually really easy, and I have already lost about 30 pounds. How I did it, was, I cut out all foods that are bad for you. I started eating more fruits and vegetables a day, because your body needs them. I began walking A LOT more a day, about 3-5 miles on average. A brisk walk for at least an hour a day, coupled with eating healthier, and less portions, will help you lose weight fast. Drink more water too, your body needs it! If you smoke or drink, try to stop those, or try to limit it to one drink a week. If you eat out at fast food restaurants, cut it out completely, but if you can't, try to only have it once every 1-2 weeks. Even doing small things like that, or not eating 2 hours before you go to bed, will show you some results. Eating a healthy breakfast in the morning is another good way. Your body needs food to lose weight, so eat a nice healthy proportional breakfast every morning to give your body the energy it needs to burn the fat. If you can't walk, try to do some exercises inside your house, like jogging in place, or maybe some crunches or jumping jacks, or walking up and down your staircase. Anything that gets your heart pumping will help. Maybe go for a mile jog/walk in the morning before work, and also stop drinking coffee and all forms of drinks that contain caffeine, it will not help you. No more soda or donuts either, they are loaded with sugars that will slow you down and make you feel gross, you don't need it. I hope my post with tips has helped you in any way, or inspired you. If you have any questions about weight loss, feel free to ask me, I will always be there to help. If you want to check out my youtube channel, click here. I post videos about my weight loss progress, and it helps when you are doing this with other people, even online. I joined ShayCarls' weight loss contest, so it helps to motivate me also.
