What 'we'? You have no intention of doing anything.

Why don't you actually back up that 'states' are putting pressure on the US Gov. for secession instead of mindless trolling? In what way shape or form have you gotten the ridiculous idea that these people are becoming a majority? These aren't the first people who have supported secessionist...

Stanford creates touch-sensitive, conductive, infinitely-self-healing synthetic skin | ExtremeTech The applications for such technology doesn't stop at prosthetics. From smart phones to car tires, this stuff could be immensely useful, especially if they are able to make it elastic.

The Title is absolute bull and wrong. The correct title would be 'citizens from 18 states post would-be petitions on government website. There is no state involvement, the thread title should be changed by mods.

NASA 3D-printing parts for its next rocket headed for Mars | Crave - CNET Got reminded of this article and thought it was interesting enough to post. The methods of manufacturing are-a-changing

In the end it is not the amount filed but the results. How much of this 'patent innovation' has been translated to actual innovation? For example we hear about numerous technologies in the US and Japan, Railguns, Lasers, Drugs for AIDS, Exoskeletons, 3d printing, learning robots...

Well my extremist comment was a bit tounge in cheek :P. As for Mexico, honestly except for the drug wars happening over there and the few illegal immigrants who turn criminal I have no problem. Most of the illegals get jobs and are hardworking, a reformation of our immigration process...

I have not lived or been to Puerto Rico so I can't really speak about culture, but its not like we're getting Puerto Rican suicide bombing religious extremists, so it can't be that much of an issue. I've heard of problems with Druglords but that's an area where more federal involvement might do...

Well English is their second official language, and I've never heard it a requirement to speak English to become a state. As long as the officials in office know English it should be fine shouldn't it?

In hindsight, looks like Indonesia did us a favor there. No way we could have known Myanmar would do a near 180 on its policies.

Then why are you allowed in the Netherlands?

Lack of proof is not proof. That said I wouldn't be surprised if China was testing its own military applications for weaponized lasers.

North Korea fighting against evil? HAHAHA! :rofl:

Thanks for the clarification.

Sounds reasonable, and is supported by some analysis here Watch the drone: Why didn't the Iranian pilots down the U.S. Predator? | Killer Apps That said there is a knowledgeable comment on there which im taking word for word and placing here which supports the 'tried to shoot down pov'.

Air Defence Laser Weapon Capable Of Counter Rockets and Mortar Shells Demonstrated | Ottawa Citizen Germans have always been industrious, good for them! That said I've seen talk (nothing definitive mind you) that this is actually a chemical based laser rather than solid state or free...

I will not get onto the airspace issue, but the SU-25 is apparently not very optimized for air to air combat (its a ground attack aircraft), and its likely the pilots did try to shoot it down but failed. Why Iran would use ground attack aircraft to intercept a drone is beyond me though.

Show your sources for '2500 to 3500' nuclear warheads, you have none and you are sputtering absolute crap. Dont bring up that Georgetown University study, it is widely discredited. No, China Does Not Have 3,000 Nuclear Weapons » FAS Strategic Security Blog You've made yourself look like not...

Its not really 'Western media' as a group, New York Times and LA Times are reporting it as Myanmar, Voice of America reporting as Burma
