How many other ideas from books were taken books/graphic novels etc made into a movie?

As a matter of fact, most of the movies you see are from a book.

Because you're an idiot. People die. People are hungry. That has pretty much happened every fucking day since man climbed down out of the trees. It can't be fixed, because uneducated third worlders think that squeezing out 8-10 kids is a virtue or a religious mandate. The only thing we can do is to try to preserve mankind, the species. That requires resources that are fast running out on our planet. Getting those resources will require going upward and outward.

Every life comes with a death sentence. You cannot stop that with technology. The concept of "saving lives" is noble but futile, as everyone eventually dies anyhow. So, instead of acting like a bunch of monkeys, we build on collective learning and pass down generation to generation. What's the point? At least something lives.

The death rate will always follow the birth rate in time.

The riches that are wasted on chasing "more" could have been used to save lives on this planet.

The amount that was invested and then spent on these things could have been used to solve the world's hunger and reinvested to continue to make sure no one ever died of starvation.

The instruments they have on that rover should give us some good information about the makeup of the soil and be able to locate organic compounds. They aimed for that crater because its basically a large basin and the alluvial fan they keep mentioning is a feature that is formed by flowing water carrying sediments into a basin. You see them all the time in the desert.

I can't wait till they actually get the science mission underway. The landing is out of the way and the pictures are neat but I want to see what they actually find.

other than that, privatizing the industry is the only way to go. aerospace engineers will be paid exponentially more, so there will be more of an incentive for bright minds to go into the field.

The riches that are wasted on chasing "more" could have been used to save lives on this planet.

We could still be carrying water from the river in buckets but Archimedes designed a method to make it easier. He could have been out working in the fields, helping carry water but instead he was focused on improving things.

You cannot save lives. You can only delay death.


The amount that was invested and then spent on these things could have been used to solve the world's hunger and reinvested to continue to make sure no one ever died of starvation.
Used to solve world hunger? So it's a money issue and it's not that the world is over populated especially in areas that do not adequately sustain life?

Also, how does one preclude the other? What are you doing to solve the hunger problem (besides eating)?


That would have made us better than monkeys.No, it would have made us not worth saving.

SBM is right that this world is fucking itself up and that greed takes priority over anything else. Funny that people can't admit that. Regardless of the "NASA" debate, it's just true.

And the billions and billions spent on war, oil etc, can be used for hunger, poverty, less oil dependence, etc. Just because life expectancy is longer now doesn't mean we should still throw away billions or trillions on murder and greed, over all the current suffering in the world. That money can still go to those that are starving to death and who have no shelter.

Longer life expectancy does not equal people not being hungry anymore. I was just reading that 5% of the homeless population are IRAQ VETS from this CURRENT war. Are you fucking kidding me?

But helping the poor isn't as sexy or cool, so why spoil our fun, right?

Such hate prevents people from at least admitting that? :lol Jesus.

None of those things have to do with NASA trying to further our scientific understanding. The thread wasn't about "oh hey lets start a war for fun" so none of that shit is valid. Why should anyone admit some random non sequitors that are completely ingermane to the discussion at hand?

Oh hey we landed a rover on mars and BTW hunger sucks!

I mean wtf? The man makes a living by being pat of one of our worst problems - over incarceration of our population - and wants to lecture others on how to improve our society in thread about scientific exploration and you seek to defend him? GMAFB. Yeah, greed is a huge problem. Greed puts people in prison over stupid drug offenses in order to line the pockets of both big pharma and the prison industry. Pardon me if I'll take the bullshit SBM spews bit more seriously when he is actually the slightest bit introspective.

I was agreeing with him about what I think was his main idea, which is we fuck shit up... and waste money in areas not really needed, rather than help suffering that's regularly ignored (I agree with his assumption that should we somehow find life there, we would fuck it up as we do everything here). Plain and simple, we do. If I'm off subject, I find it funny you had to say his music sucked lol, which by the way, it actually doesn't, but it just goes to show the assholes that people are.

You're right, I was an asshole. However, humanity does not completely fuck up everything. We've improved since our inception on earth, and as I said more people today enjoy a higher level of life than at any point before. There might still be a lot of people starving, but as a percentage its not even close to what it was even in recent history. Humanity grows with each generation and we better ourselves. Even 60-70 years ago the pollution we were seeing was horrendous in our own country (rivers on fire etc) but much of that has changed and we now bring species back from extinction. I don't think anyone here ever claimed that humanity was perfect and I don't think because no one wanted to entertain idiotic ideas that NASA was a waste of resources that could somehow be used to solve humanities problems it somehow means that they don't acknowledge the imperfections of humanity.

We advance as a species in many directions at once and its sometimes a painfully slow process but too deny the growth we've made - and continue to make - is wrong.

As for the prison matter, I do not know what we should cut the number of guards down to but it is undeniable that we incarcerate too many people in this country for reasons that are directly related to greed. The amount of non violent offenders locked away for drug reasons in the United States is quite insane. You question may have been rhetorical but mine is not: Why should I listen to the ranting of someone who doesn't even practice what they preech and instead tries to maintain some see through facade of faux enlightenment?

You see its cute you want to defend, SBM. I admit I was a dick to him the moment he posted in this thread and that was uncalled for, but maybe you should ask yourself why SBM manages to piss off nearly everyone he encounters on this website while having a martyr complex. Even I, who have been quite the asshole at times here, have a much easier time having civil conversations here than him. That should tell you something.

For someone who brags about pursuing a PHD it sounds like you can't even understand the basic branches of government. How the fuck would you know what I do?

Because you assumed that I mentioned corrections--and you swallowed the bullshit that idiots on here spewed and automatically assumed that I am what you labeled me as.

If you knew your ass from a hole in the ground you would know that there are branches of government and I don't know which special school of learning you studied at but in no school do they teach that someone in corrections decides the fate of inmates.

You don't even understand basic government and you want to lecture me on this?

If you had half a brain you might have done the math and discovered that Corrections is a broad field and if you ever got your fat monkey head out of your ass you might have even figured out that a person who has been in this business for 25 years and has a formal education would not be a "prison guard" no matter how you look at it.

What I am talking about is humanity and spirituality and human life is above everything else. Everything.

Space exploration is great but it could have benefited mankind to use all that ingenuity and resources and money to help human beings first--and then you can go off into space.

Same for Wars, politics, greed, desire, on and on and on.

The basic idea is true and is self evident to anyone with a brain and the courage to admit when something is true ---no matter how uncomfortable this truth is or how it portrays your species.

We have done nothing but destroy each other and destroy this planet and yet here we are trying to travel to another one. It is the same idiocy that has some people killing each other and getting themselves all aflame with the idiotic belief that they need to figure out if there is a heaven or a hell or a life after this one when they haven't even lived through this one.

It still holds true.

Why worry about another life when all we've done is fuck this one up?

Why travel to another planet when all we've done is destroy this one?

Why try to discover another life form when all we've done is destroy each other and continue to do so?

Truth is truth and if I can admit this...I am just like anyone else...I am blaming myself because I am part of this human stupidity...but if I can admit this why can't you? Why can't others? Why defend it? I am ashamed to be part of this problem and when I criticize human beings I am criticizing myself too but I can be honest enough to admit when I have fucked up.

Why say that without technology this...without progress that...blah-blah ...as if to say, "well those people couldn't be helped" ...why not?
Why couldn't we have done both? Fix our mess and have a space program. Why not?


Why not say ...yes...we can have technology and progress after we use those resources to fix this planet and help to heal all the destruction we have already caused?

Are always given shit by the ones that are "striving to become someone"


:lmao

wait until you actually discover that this education you think is the shit- is the biggest thing you will ever have to overcome in your life.

Priceless.

Got a decent education, it took me years to get over it.

Someday you will understand the meaning of those wise words...

No point, except as troll fodder.

It's not an assumption that Chump spends his life on Spurstalk. His constant day and night ritual of following people around obsessively and upping his post count in record numbers is fact, and clearly a sign of him not being so productive for others, which he tried calling me out for.

If you're too busy trolling all day and night, you can't be doing much else. lol

I'd say that assumption is pretty good one.

Manny, I figured you'd be more intelligent than this. Must you really play dumb? My point was if I say what I do, they only want that info to troll about it. So it's not even worth it.

I completely agree that if you're called out about not doing enough there's no way to defend it without giving people an easy way to troll you for it. I don't doubt for one second that you've been active in helping people. You've always mentioned these things through the years you've posted here.

Can't wait till we get that type of image from Curiosity. It will be awesome to take a look at the surface geology of the area. The prof I work for has a pretty sizeable interest in dunefields so I'm anxious to ask him what he thinks about the one near the rover.

http://www.nasa.gov/images/content/674897main_pia16013-43_1024-768.jpg

At least I think thats a dunefield.

Dunefields can indicate the previous presence of water flow. Just north of me, Great Sand Dunes NP has dunes that are there because of the water flow and wind combo. Its a pretty neat combo.

Thanks, all I was doing was defending what Chump wrongly assumed of me, but then again, it just opens the doors for trolls to troll no matter what. So anyway.

He's a pretty cool dude. He's just got some weird geologic interests that most people find boring as hell. Most of the scientists I work with are definitely not what you would think. Some are geeky, but most are just normal people. And they can ALL drink a fuck load. I don't understand that.

I'd argue that most people who make assumptions do so because they have identified something upon which to base their assumption. It's how the whole assuming thing works, whether right or wrong, significant or trivial.

But, ultimately, as others have pointed out, you are not the person to whom I was initially responding, so... okay.

Right, some people may make an assumption because they see someones habits or obsessions of being at one place MOST of the time deliberately trolling/arguing with people on internet boards, which would more than likely mean they aren't somewhere else.

But then one could make an assumption about someone, but not know anything about them to do so. Basically making an assumption based off of your hatred for someone rather than any knowledge of them. I'd say one holds more weight than the other, even if we are just talking about assumptions.

Either way, I think Manny's thread has been hijacked enough as it is, and it's true you were addressing someone else anyway. :toast

I was actually referring to people who do nothing except fly into a thread and make stupid comments directed at someone they don't know. The people doing this are always people that have bragged about their schooling and what they are studying for.
