Or more likely cause, is that they are in such a large deficit because they invest so much money into science studies that they put themselves in a hole... maybe they're great in science, but they're horrible in economics :P
Because like almost every other medical field, creating a complete cure will be a horrible thing for corporations that make millions off of temporary solutions... and not many people would invest money in a complete cure if it means that after a certain amount of people use your products nobody will need it anymore...
And yeah, I'm pretty sure male pattern baldness is a very important medical field ;)
And people still believe in the "sanctity" of marriage... when will people realize that marriage is but a delusional sham brought upon our society by puritanical archaic rituals... time to end this bullshit, and just live happily with whomever you want without the need of a piece of paper, without the need of religious conformity or without the government giving benefits to those who live a life over those who truly need some tax breaks...
Just because they account for so little to the US economy doesn't mean the account for so little to the private pockets of politicians who control the feds and enjoy the perks of deep pocket lobbyists...
This stuff is just horrible. Not only is Molly portrayed with some kind of crappy steampunk eye implants, but is the long haired, katana wielding youth with the eye cover supposed to be the lil cloned assassin Hideo??? Are you shitting me?
Oooh you had to go that route... but I'll play along...
Lets see... Muslim religious radicals firebombing someone's office over some stupid cartoon slighting their ass backwards, archaic belief system and Muslim religious radicals murdering innocents and using their own people as live shields over some ass backward idea that they somehow entitled to a tiny piece of land surrounded by many other pieces of land already affiliated with their own ass backwards, archaic belief system, and/or claiming that their religion is better than other religions and willing to kill for it... still ass backwards, archaic and totally moronic...
I don't care who you are, but a nobody has any right murdering innocent people over any based idea that their religion comes first or more important than the most basic human right of LIVING!
Except, that for a lot of people, an iPhone is not only a controller, so unlike the PS3 or Xbox where you need to have an extra controller available for other people to play with, for the iOS games, it is merely, get together, bring your iPhones and play...
Granted, I know, an extra controller doesn't cost as much as an iPhone, but it also doesn't do as much as one...
I agree with Lux whole heartily... There shouldn't be any form to box in your sexual identity... Just because you have a penis or a vagina, or both, doesn't make you one or the other...
Coin? What's that? Is that some kind of like a credit card? Because I haven't used real hard currency in years... I wonder if flipping a credit card works on the same principle...
No need to be sorry, I am a fan of the same field of debate so I would be happy to try and answer your questions with my thoughts on the subject. Regarding the matter of new time frame and the original, I think it would be logical to assume that as you have traveled to a new time frame or parallel universe/reality hence it's not really necessary that there will be a version of you in that time frame because by the essence of you stepping out of your time frame and creating a new time frame means that in that time frame's reality you have not existed in the first place, I guess I can see it as, if time is relevant to the atoms then by creating a new time frame you pretty much creating a parallel universe around yourself, hence randomness of what will happen, your parents might not be your parents or be parents to somebody else, and your kids might not have existed in the first place. Kind of gets muddled when it comes to things like family and blood relations, but I think it's an avoidable paradox because being born and existing are two separate things as far as I see them.
I hope I haven't confused you much with my pseudoscience/philosophy babble :)
To be honest I don't think backwards time traveling is possible as well but not due to the Time Traveler's Paradox (I might be wrong theoretically of course :), but as far as I can logically fathom, whichever direction you are time traveling (Backwards or Forward) it actually creates a separate time frame relative to YOU, as in time is relative to the atoms and not to the universe, so if you go back in time to the year 1990 you will in essence create a separate time where the original you doesn't exist, hence no Time Traveler's Paradox...
