If a computer started to think then it would realize how stupid people are and thus it would demand control over the world.
I've been writing guitar music lately and submitting some of it.... whether old mary jane helps or not is hard to say..... it probably does but alas I can't smoke anymore.

An official government website outlining the agreement.

A website where you can find 1,000 documents describing the legal ramification of the agreement. www.minutemanproject.comCouldn't find one on the site, but I do believe they've recently moved servers so...
So from what I can gather your just talking about the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America, which isn't anything more then a stance of cooperation between the leader (read president Bush) of our country and the others. In and of it self it can't do anything as congress hasn't authorized anything.
As I said there is nothing serious with in the government about this. Despite what Bush may want the congress, and supreme court wouldn't allow the type of integration you've suggested to happen. There's not going to be any type of deep integration as you suggested with in the next 50 years, unless something truly drastic and climatic happens.
I can tell by your response that you havn't read the documentation carefully, or reviewed the analysis of those who have carefully gone through the agreement and legal ramifiactions.
I suggest you watch a few YouTube movies about this, some are done by CNN and other major media sources, back it up by going through the offical government documentation outlined on the white house website http://www.spp.gov/ .
The truth is, the framework for a deep integration is set into place by this agreement. Similar to how the framework for the European Union was set in place post world war two by the Marshall Plan andits stipululation that European countries coordinate through the OECD (or at the time OEEC- Organization for European Economic Cooperation).
The reason that you havn't experienced drastic changes yet is because the changes take place via classic incrementalism-- i.e. one step at a time. You don't throw a frog in boiling water, it will jump out, you put a frog in cold water and slowly bring it to a boil, the frog will just sit there. -- That's how this integration is being done, but make no mistake about it, it does run deep.
There will be a 'North American Council' that will subordinate the US government, they are already building a 'super highway' for trading purposes, US currency will be eliminated and replaced by 'North American Currency'-- the 'Amero' (See an economist talk about it on CNBC http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hiPrsc9g98, or just google it), additionally many legislative laws will be significantly changes or modified. With many other effects.
A discussion about the agreement that was already made back in 2005.

There is a plan to closely integrate the United States, Mexico, and Canada in a way that parallels to the integration of the European Union. The plan will include the adoption of a currency similar to the Euro known as the 'Amero' that will be used universally by all three countries.
The idea behind this plan is to increase the United States economic standing, since it is quickly slipping away from its status as economic super-power in light of the European Union, and the #1 and #2 recipients of foreign direct investment: China and India.
The result may extend beyond currency and involve more fluid borders and more universal government policies.
Good or bad? Comments....
I'll be going to the comic con as well, although, I'll be dressed as Waldo, so GOOD LUCK finding me!
Oh yeah, and if you could move objects with your mind no hot chick clothing would ever be safe again!

Well, you're right, if you want to believe in this stuff, fine, more power too you. I'm not trying to be harsh or rude about it.
What gets me is the tactics this guy uses to try to legitimitize his whole philosophy. He starts by saying that the laws of the Universe are extremely precise (absolutely right!)--. Then he immediately jumps to the 'Law of Attraction' is a law of the Universe (? it is?). This law consists of, not attraction in the magnetic or chemical sense, but 'you hold images in your mind, you attract things to you'.
Then he tries to back it up with all these great thinkers who 'though the same thing!' (I took philosophy in college, I NEVER heard Socrates or Plato say what he's saying).
The reason I don't buy it is this, what he is actually suggesting is that you can control external (environmental) forces with your mind.
Einstein, "The environment is everything that isn't you".
It's actually a Universal law (like gravity) that the human mind cannot directly control ANY environmental thing (you can't move objects or manipulate them with your mind). The chain always goes, mine-body-environment and never mind-environment.
So you can think of something, do stuff, and make it happen. But you can never, think of something and then it just happens. This guy is saying you can do the latter, think of something, then it comes to you-- somehow directly controlling an environmental thing.
As far as I'm concerned this is total crazy talk. The same as saying, "It's a fundamental law of the Universe, you can move objects with your mind!"
.....
Ok, so, somebody gave me this 'inspirational book' sort of randomly-- they said they really liked it. I crack it open, see if it's interesting and this is what I get.
From 'The Secret', "We all work with one infinite power. We all guide ourselves by exactly the same laws. The natural laws of the universe are so precise that we don't even have any difficulty building spaceships, we can send people to the moon, and we can time the landing with the precision of a fraction of a second."
"Wherever you are-- India, Australia, New Zealand, Stockholm, London, Toronto, Montreal, or New Your-- we're all working with one power. One Law. It's attraction! The Secret is the law of attraction!"
"Everything that's coming into your life you are attracting into your life. And it's attracted to you by virtue of the images you're holding in your mind. It's what you're thinking. Whatever is going on in your mind you are attracting to you."
"The greatest teachers who have ever lived have told us that the law of attraction is the most powerful law in the Universe.-- Poets such as William Shakespeare, Robert Browning, and William Blake delivered it in their poetry. Musicians such as Ludwig van Beethoven expressed it through their music. Artists such as Leonardo da Vinci depicted it in their paintings. Great thinkers including Socrates, Plato, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Pythagoras, Sir Francic Bacon, Sir Isaac Newton, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, and Victor Hugo shared it in their writings and teachings. Their names have been immortalized, and their legendary existence has survived centuries."
Did this guy fool any of you?? lmao... Or, am I the only one who thinks he's talking out of his ass?
^^ try copy and pasting and it will say 'undefined'-- there's your answer. I made it all the way to 'go ahead cheater' in the first one-- not sure if that's a riddle lol
I'm stuck on Wikipedia, EncycolpediaDramtica and.... --- it isn't msn encarta?!
who knows this one?
My cousin invented french fries.. so humbly thank him
I got news for you... if you EVER ate pepperonni pizza you abused a fckn animal... either be a vegetarian or get over it...
Ok, thanks for the comment Matt. You're right, I'll do the next one in Freehand so I can use vector graphics, then I'll use gradients and extrude to liven it up a bit, maybe I'll do the Queen next =)...
I'm not sure if I could do a traditional chess game because the server or the AI may be a bit tricky (or expensive)--- so I'll probably do something a little more story-style interactive with chess overtones... I'm not sure what yet, we'll see what happens.
interesting.. interesting.... I still like my-- monkey ripping the arms off a zookeeper and beating a computer with them etymology..... but to each their own...
lmao....... the responses to this thread are irony... irony at its very best
The verb to pwn (past tense: pwned, pwnd, pwn'd, pwnt, pooned) as used by the Internet gaming subculture, means to beat or dominate an opponent. It probably has it's origins in a severely demented monkey named Blamblam mis-typing the word 'own' on a computer specially designed to study primate cognitive processes. Blamblam, after ripping the arms off of an inexperienced zookeeper, then savagely began beating the computer with the dangling appendages, apparently out of frustration-- Thus producing by sheer random chance the first incidence of the now well circulated verb--'P W N D'.
The computer that Blamblam was using was connected to the internet and specifically linked to websites that target demographics of substandard intellects. By encouraging Blamblam to associate with mentally challenged internet users who paralleled or closely resembled her own cognitive processing abilities, the scientists hoped to gather meaningful insight into the mechanisms of social conditioning in primates. One of Blamblam's favorite and most frequented sites was: 'NewGrounds.com', in fact, it has been suggested that the frustration that led to the demise of Blamblam's zookeeper occured after Blamblam was flamed in the Newgrounds forums after posting a crappy flash movie at the self-same site.....
-- This tragedy has not however deterred the word 'pwnd' from becoming part of regular repertiore of countless web users.......
Well, I guess the basic problems here would be #1-- server-- mostly paying for it.. or #2-- figuring out how to integrate a chess AI engine into a game.. but then... it wouldn't make a lot of sense to go through all that work only to develop the same thing you find at yahoo.com.. the trick then is interface.. how do you make chess chess without being chess?
I'm thinking of putting together a Newgrounds chess game (with violence)--- here's my first sprite, the Black Bishop *original*-- what do you all think?
This is some chess artwork that I whipped up.. The Black Bishop.. shall I continue?
hmmmm.... now I'm feeling inspired... maybe I'll start working on a chess game, with violent chess animation as a Newgrounds twist... don't know how to make it multiplayer.. but that's down the road

Yes, even on a computer, they'll manage somehow.
It amazes me how resourceful they can be....
fckn sht..... I want chess.... Just add blood, guns, and naked chicks and I guarantee it will be a Newgrounds success...
The real solution is.... Japanese toilets. That's why the Japanese have the longest life-span in the world-- because they don't fuck around touching nasty toilet seats all the time...
lol... furry.... well, the bright side is... if you lost your girlfriend you could always just adopt a cat......
Sorry for the double post... For those of you that missed the punchline...
What kind of nifty celebrations might we have on Pico day?
Lots of alcohol and criminal prosecution-- that seems appropriate.
Other ideas?
The logic of this thread seems a little wanting...
If the universe is infinite, it is an infinite universe and not an infinite banana.

This alone has proven you wrong.
wtf??? Frodo, Rocky, Gang Rape, Newgrounds mods, gayness??? *funky porno music kicks on in the background*... Holy Shit!!! I'm gettin out of this fuckin thread!!
lol... they both suck.. end of discussion.
