near light speed isnt possible, and although cryogenics is possible, it is not yet reversible.

NLS is physically possible (depending obviously on how near you classify as 'near'), but it isn't possible with our current technology.
J
We are talking about a generation of youth now climatized to living life in the wilderness, robbed of their youth, having no choice but to live away from the comfort of their parents & family in jungles or places of hiding with weapons that become their only trusted friend.
Agreed?

Not necessarily, but in general I suppose so.
D
hmmm.. 95 dead and 500 wounded... in iraq... 95 rights to life gone, and 500+ rights to be protected from harm, gone...I think 2 suspects has been captured. Do those 2 have human rights?
R
they have rights until they are found guilty... just because they are transported to us soil doesn't mean they are subject to our rights... just our laws

Got it. what about the person released from scotland and returned to libya... do that person deserve the right to be released because he has a terminal cancer? he is convicted for being a terrorist.

If you're talking about the lockerbie bomber, there's doubts over his conviction.
N
doubts..! the whole case was based on circumstantial evidence, i'm also pleased to see that Salmond did a fine job defending scotland over the whole matter... what a knob.
U
i was watching the dark knight the other day and there was a moment in the movie that was very inspiring to this particular arguement. anyway, if you watch the dark knight, then you'll know my stand. if you were really against terrorists from having any rights, then you're no better then what the joker was expecting.
J
Everyone should have human rights even terrorists. I mean even terrorists are human even if they've have done unforgiveable things. Human rights doesn't exist to protect a single individual but it exist for everyone sake. Human rights is an essential part that prove that we live in a civilize world.

as much as our world is civilize.... we dont act that way
R
and we act uncivilized to ensure our survival
D
if we act civilized i'm sure we could get something good out of it...
R
not always...but there are other ways... in government class we are learning how a state is made, i truly believe military might and economical power is the basis for any state... the social contract theory made the articles of confederation (the U.S.'s first public document) come top life... but i do believe that to be seemed a civilized we have to make someone else seem uncivilized.
D
the animals are uncivilized.... and they will remain like that, we are humans, the top of the food chain, the dominant species... we should start acting like that...
R
actually we are not on the top of the food chain... we are part of an eco-wheel (*here we go again) bacteria are inside us this very minute helping us... we depend on them, if we didn't have them, we would die. we might be on top in the macro scale, but they rule in the micro scale, and micro beats macro... (biology tells us that)so who's the top of the chain now?

Me! :D
Seriously though; "civilisation" seems to just mean having better ways of killing one another. Culture doesn't really seem to come into it too much. :(
