It's more practical to build space habitats than colonize planets in the long run. I suspect that if/when become advanced enough to leave the solar system, we'll be mostly be living on ships or on artificial space habitats.

I have a couple aunts and uncles within a few hours of me, the rest are either out of state or across the pond. Considering where I've lived previously, this is perhaps he closest I've ever been to any family in terms of location since I was eight.

It seemed like there was a chance for a diplomatic solution, but considering they fucked shit up on earth without any real provocation... It's a little hard to sympathise with Tyranids whatever the bugs were called.
But genocide is still genocide...
I think, they should have attempted a diplomatic solution through ender (I haven't read the books yet, just seen the film on netflix) rather than just flying out to their homeworld and doing the exact same thing that they did to us <.<
Actually, what the humans did it was worse, because if I recall correctly, they were only left with one egg at the end, which seemed like infinitely less than what the humans had at the end of the first Human-Bugger conflict.

They're people. Rehabilitation is far better than going to a shithole then coming out and living the same lifestyle.
Too fucking bad. People are responsible for their actions, nobody else. These same people, no matter how much rehab they will go through, will continue their path of being a career criminal
Because it is impossible for people to change for the better, even when offered a chance to improve themselves. Something that that they may not have had or hadn't realized it was something that was worth their time before they began involving themselves in criminal activity.

I wasn't directing it at you, just anyone that thinks the internet is more trouble than it's worth.
Oh, okay. My father's opinion on the collapse of economies contingent upon the Internet's existence went basically, "So? Who needs them?"
I don't think he understands the need for intentional trade.

I don't think human blood cells can survive outside the human body under normal conditions. You'd more likely get life on the planet started by whatever bacteria or other microorganisms he has piggybacking on him that happen to jump off on the planet.

No matter what you think of the people that inhabit it, we need it far more than it troubles you. You're assuming two things.
1. That I'd surely end it.
2. That that would be my reason for ending it.
Both assumptions are false. Sorry.

but I don't see all torture being bad
Care to give an example where it's not bad?
Torturing a known terrorist for information
but I don't see all torture being bad
Care to give an example where it's not bad?
Dealing with terrorists; hostile foreigners actively in war against the U.S. What the Japs did in WW2 though is on the side of excessive
Despite the fact that most information coming from torture turns out to be inaccurate or just plain false?
Hell, the report even has a section stating the CIA overaggerated the role of torture in getting information on Bin Laden.
Easy, they give you fake info. Keep torturing them until they give you the right info.
What if they don't have the info, do we just continue torturing them for the rest of the conflict?

No. Who ever says yes is the biggest fucking moron on the planet.
The internet is one of the fastest modes of communication that we have in our modern era. No matter what you think of the people that inhabit it, we need it far more than it troubles you.
I'm going to list three empires of the Ancient Era: The Roman Empire, Persian Empire, and the Sassanid Empire. In their golden days all three empire got to be pretty fucking huge, that is partly because of their ability communicate and trade within their own respective borders effectively, and that was because all three of them had excellent roads, both well maintained and well protected, allowing citizens, messengers, and merchants to travel faster and safer than they would have in most other parts of the world.
The Internet is our modern information and commerce highway, it allows us the potential to communicate at near instantaneous speeds than most other forms of communication available to us. Perhaps we could still operate at a more-or-less modern standard with telephones and telegraphs, but we wouldn't be able to maintain anything more advanced than that without it.

so far I've yet to see a modern game that actually portrays space movement correctly.
Isn't Kerbal Space Program pretty good? I'm cynical, so I'm still waiting to hear about what is seriously wrong about the game

I remember Runescape was the really cool thing to play when I was eight or nine. I met some cool people there, like this IT guy who got me started on the Disc World series.

I'd rather a developer take their time with developing a game than rush it out because its publisher wants it out the month before Christmas.

Now for the people who don't have jobs
1. Where are you going to work at?
2. Why did you chose that place?
3. What is your job going to be?
4. Do you know people who work on the job your going to be at?
No. 1. I don't know 2. I have no idea 3. I don't know 4. Could do. Pretty much my only marketable skill is writing.
