Why not super powers?

I've been reading, occasionally, of new genetic technology. Basically you can pre-determine what sex you child will be. You can set up your child’s genes so they will be grow up to be a good musician, a good athlete, etc. If we have this sort of power than why aren't we using it for way more awesome things? What comes to mind immediately for me, is super powers.
Here are several super powers that we should be working on twisting and turning our DNA codes to bring these dreams to life.

1. Bulletproof skin- I mean, why not? How sweet would that be? Obviously you would still be able to feel things. It'll even sting if you get shot but, like they say (even though I've always been curious as to who these "they" characters are) no pain, no gain. Think of the possibilities for our soldiers in Iraq. It would make us invincible. I don't condone violence however, I don't condone our soldiers dying for an unjust war. This would clearly turn the tables in the soldiers favor. Also you wouldn't get pesky cuts and scratches. Mosquitoes couldn't bite through your skin. The only problem I can come up with would be surgery and injections, etc. I've got a solution though. A material that is only available to Doctors to get through the skin. It would work, and be quite sweet I might add.

2. Invisibility-Don't lie. We've all thought about it. What would happen if we were invisible? I'm sure you can come up with the obvious possibilities. It would rock, basically. Walk around naked, spy on the ladies, sneak in and out of awkward situations undetected, the list goes on.

3. The ability to shape shift-You ever want to feel what the female orgasm is all about. Sneak into VIP parties. That would all be at your fingertips with this power. I know what some of you are thinking. If there were invisibility and shape shifting, everyone would be a criminal mastermind. WRONG! If you're an upstanding citizen, you know you'll raise your child properly. He'll grow up to be a super-HERO not a super-villain. You could always use more super-heroes.

4. Flying-Do I have to explain this one?

And there you have it. There are obviously many more super powers that would be super sweet but that's all I have the stamina for tonight. If you want to play God with your "gene technology" (Despite the phrasing I don't really have anything against it. Don't read too much into me. I'm pretty base) then why not make the human race even sweeter than it already is. It seems to me like evolution has stopped. Humans are humans and that's it. Why not speed up the process if we can? Bring humans to an even more awesome point. Come on now, it makes sense.

Just a quickie commentary of Bill O'Reilly

And his stupidity.



Yesterday I was watching The Daily Show. Not where I usually go for my news but still quite a hillarious television program. Anyhow, there was a segment at the beginning of the show regarding Bill O'Reilly. Let me give you guys a little back story on this. Apparently Mr. O’Reilly thinks that people are waging a "War on Christmas". He particularly singles out Jon Stewart and The Daily Show in promoting these "Secular" viewpoints. In his commentary on a show earlier this week he even showed a clip from The Daily Show that had a joke that went something like this, "Christmas remains the only religious federal holiday. So, if you're not Christian, you still at least get the day off to think about why you're not Christian." Or something along those lines.
Now back to The Daily Show. This clip that Mr. O’Reilly played on his show is a year old. Jon Stewart and the people at Comedy Central brought this out in the open, and in quite hilarious fashion I might add. The woman in the clip is now 9 months pregnant. She was VISIBLY not pregnant in this clip. She came onto the stage, showing her "bun in the oven" and accentuating it with the same shirt she was wearing in the clip. It barely fits anymore.
Bill O’Reilly, what is your problem? Everyone's entitled to his or her beliefs and I can't bash you for that, but have some common sense. There's no "War on Christmas". It's the biggest F'in holiday of the year. Consumerism is at year highs, as it always is. What is it that you feel is taking away from the religious part of Christmas' celebration? The mass consumerism? The people being trampled participating in said consumerism in order to obtain an Ipod for their 10 year old?
If you had any common sense you'd realize it's not the "liberal media" portraying a secular set of beliefs, it's the vast consumer world wind that Christmas has become in the past 10 years. Plus, skewing the facts and playing year old video to make a "relevant" and "up to date" point is pretty high on my list of bias in the media.
If you'd like to be taken seriously Mr. O’Reilly you should stop skewing the facts and keep your racist (still boycotting France for some reason) and religious beliefs to yourself. All you're doing is adding more fuel to the already biased news station and "CONSERVATIVE media" fire.
You're not clever Mr. O’Reilly. Merry Christmahanakwanza everyone.


I promise I'll be posting more soon. I know I say it every time but it's finals okay? I'm almost done. I know you're in withdrawal. I hope this holds you over for a bit.
