"According to [The Path to 2409](http://memory-beta.wikia.com/wiki...), Moriarty was a major part of the legal fight for civil rights of artificial lifeforms. *The Path to 2409* is a "timeline detailing the history of the Star Trek universe starting in 2379, just after the events of Star Trek Nemesis, running through to the 2409 setting of the video game Star Trek Online". It was first released online & later in Star Trek Magazine. >Alerted to its existence in a Starfleet computer, the Soong Foundation sues to have the program released into its custody. Attorneys for Starfleet argue that Moriarty and his companion are a security risk, and that the program's attempt to take over the U.S.S. Enterprise-D in 2369 allows Starfleet to keep it in indefinite custody to protect the public. "That's just imprisonment without a trial," argues Alyssa Cogley-Shaw, lead attorney for the Soong Foundation. "Since when did Starfleet turn into the Obsidian Order?""

If we stigmatize sex offenders for life then its clear we should do the same for sociopathic cops. The time has come for a police brutality register. Once on the list you will be required to notify everyone in your neighborhood that you brutalized an innocent person and abused your power. - http://www.reddit.com/r...

"All domesticated crops are. For the life of me, I can't even think of a non-domesticated crop to put up as an example of non-genetically modified food. I'm sure some exists, but I honestly can't think of any."

"I'm sorry, but this is just a list of cranks. While it's true that some forms of genetic modification can be weird, there is no evidence that GM, as a process, causes nutritional problems. GM does indeed have ethical issues when it comes to copyright and the bullying nature of large corporations, but no real scientists have shown any nutritional defects from GM that are related to the fact that the food was genetically modified. I think it is possible that you don't quite understand what GM is. The title of this very thread says "80% of corn...is genetically modified." But ALL corn that humans can digest is GM. Have you ever actually seen "natural" corn? It's extremely tiny. When our ancestors chose the juiciest apples to be the seeds for the next apple tree, causing apples to become the fruit that we know them to be today, *that is genetic modification*. The only difference between plant domestication and genetic modification in the laboratory is that we are choosing which genes to..."

EricHerboso on Reddit, I just took the hour long bus ride home from campus to realize I had driven to school today and I must now wait 20 mins for the next bus to campus to go and drive my car home again..

"While driving across the United States, I stopped for gas, paying inside the store from an envelope that held all my cash. It was four hours of driving before I realized I left a little more than $1000 in an envelope on the counter of a gas station. I never recovered the cash, as you might have expected."

"I've only watched video for game 1 of the olneyce v manzi finals so far, but I'm extremely impressed with the quality of the play, the choice of cards in the set, and the clearly visible video capture that allows viewers to really see the decision-making first hand on the screen.

"On my *second* playthrough of FFVI, I decided to rush through without saving. At the very beginning, when you get to control Locke, Mog, and a bunch of Moogles, I spent every turn stealing with Locke against every enemy until Locke and his moogle friends were brought down to low hp. I figured it did not matter, since I could always beat the boss with one of the other two groups. But when I switched to the all moogle groups, I was distracted by a phone call. I was on active mode, so by the time I returned, that group had also been depleted of hp. My last group, unfortunately, was the group with Mog. I hadn't fought with him yet, so he didn't have a dance yet. And I could not live with myself if I didn't steal his equipment, so he had to go into the boss battle unequipped. I went into the boss battle realizing that both of the other groups had no hp left. But even though I knew this was my only chance of getting past this part, the enemies somehow sensed my vulnerability and ganged up..."

"My vote is for Rosa Farrell, Vivi Orunitia, & Celes Chere. This is my favorite kind of party combination. White mage, black mage, and a sturdy fighter who excels at magic. Between runic and high end support spells, I can't imagine a better group to have at my disposal. Plus, can you imagine the awesome musical band they'd make? Rosa has the looks, since she's described as the most beautiful girl in Baron. Celes has the voice, as you might have guessed from her well-executed impersonation of the opera star, Maria. And Vivi has that certain je ne sais quoi between his childlike demeanor and philosophic depth, not to mention his badass image. I just don't think you can go wrong with these three. (c:"
