It's based on Jacque Fresco's futurist dream of a resource based economy - in many ways it's an off-shoot of the Technate and other Technocratic based economic models. The most well known example of these sorts of philosophies can be found in the Star Trek franchise, those Gene Roddenberry drew...

Well no one who know A@L ever accused him of being Reasonable. I used to tell him, "it's a good thing you're an atheist, cuz you would make one crazy fundamentalist". Heh, I remember a for a period there he was ranting about a "new" branch of Evolutionary Theory - no one bothered to tell...

I used to be a mod in that stockam room - Hell I used to be mod when it was run by Rabidape. Debatefaith, aka Atheist@Large has steadily grown more and more narcissistic over the years. In the beginning his rants were actually endearing, but you could still call him out of the hemisphere...

My understanding of the physics involved are, admittedly barely rudimentary at best (if that) - but from what I can figure the principle problem with time travel is the same as FTL (assuming the various methods to get around relativity) - causality. It's a waste of time gaining the energies...

And on average, who has lower crime rates (with the exception of Breivik who has probably fucked their murder average for the year).

The answers to your questions are all in my original post (the one you quoted).

It is intellectually lazy to simply label Breivik as just a "psychotic" mass murderer. I know some of you will struggle with the paradigm shift in world views the knowledge that it isn't merely derange lunatics and religious extremists that kill people en masse or at all. Do not fall into...

Re: Atheists that hate homosexuals (a very peculiar phenomen :| I've never found homosexual sex to have an "ewwww" factor - well I find the idea of two fat hairy dude banging about as disturbing as the idea of a fat hairy heterosexual couple banging.
