    There's no correct answer, it's social science. There is a wrong one however. If you keep each group separate and let them breed the population would exponentially increase making the entire situation worse and increasing the stress on natural resources. The 3 other viable options would be: Stopping those immune to HIV and carry AIDS from breeding Stop those without AIDS from breeding Allow breeding between the 2 subsets of people The 3rd is the most politically safe option and would end in the human population reaching a hypothetical equilibrium assuming families have 2 children. I'd argue that the 2nd option, is the most optimal, considering if the infection re-emerged the population would be immune. However there would be an outcry against this, though the outcome would be the same, it would just take less time. Or y'know let everyone fight and leave with a small group of people to repopulate.
  2. Back to the Future

    There's going to be a free episode in February.
  3. Kudos for a Sliders reference.
  4. Video Games, and why I might be done with them

    How about playing in black and white?
  5. Maybe that particular Cart is fake, but I have played 2 specific pal versions of it. I don't think they were bootlegs, I have 3 other English friends that also remember it. So it may have not been released in the mainland.
  6. Happy Birthday!

    Already said it over steam but Happy Birthday to Miffy! Back to the 15 year old scotch!
  7. Movie/TV recommendations

    Short one about The Bronx and their Mariachi alter egos Mariachi El Bronx http://www.babelgum.com/channels/1/clips/4022007 Then Metal a head-bangers journey
  8. Obligatory comical YouTube thread

    I'm always tempted to get my bike back on the road, though I haven't ridden one for at least 5 years and I broke my arm on one too. Then I realise how bad it is to cycle in Manchester.
  9. Tomb Raider

    He isn't lying.
  10. Batman: Arkham City

    Modern FMV is CGI, or at least I'm fairly sure it is. I really hope the combat is deeper than the first game.

    But hats...

    I feel I need to justify this. I'm absolutely sick of where this country is and where it is heading politically, I want to have kids (when I have them) somewhere I think that their human rights will be respected as well as granted. A country where education, particularly of the arts, is devalued and those from a poorer background aren't given the right to it. I'm not entirely against tuition fees, but I do not agree with them, and certainly don't for £9000 ($13500) per annum. I wouldn't be in my final year of University if it were. I'm not from what one could call a privileged background, in fact the opposite. The tactics which the police are using are absolutely disgraceful, kettling is only going to make it worse, deprive a large number of people in a small area with a far lesser amount of people, the only thing that one can expect is them to get angrier. I have friends, who are definitely not violent by nature who were kettled for 5 hours, along with children. The London Metropolitan police deserve no respect for this, hell a lot of them should be struck off. If a surgeon makes a mistake he can be, so why not a cop? I would have been in London myself if I didn't have an incredibly busy Thursday and Friday. Again my friends were amongst those stranded in London due to the police, I would have been with them, luckily UCL gave them a place to stay and my Student Union managed to get them and the other 29 students who were stranded back to Manchester. Hell the police presence in Fallowfield, Manchester, the main student area has dramatically increased which I can only suggest is due to the government's decision, it certainly didn't increase this much when there was a serial rapist in the area. Every decision the Government has made has made me more angry, I have only committed myself to being in this country for 6 months longer, from there I want to leave, I don't feel safe here at all. I hate the country, not the people.

    I'm not a fan of having a royal family, also I'd prefer not having to learn an entirely new language.

    I'm actually more seriously considering leaving the UK, after I'm done with my degree. Canada, the US or Germany, seem like the best options, anyone got any advice on immigration?

    Tate Modern: ADHD art.
  16. Life

    Yeah and the police aren't handling it well at all, I'm sickened by the whole affair.
  17. Life

    Fuck this country, I'm seriously contemplating leaving once I've finished my degree.
  18. The Dancing Thumb (aka: music recommendations)

    Hell I still listen to Radiohead despite atrocious numeracy skills.
  19. The Dancing Thumb (aka: music recommendations)

    Never ever go to an art gallery, or buy any books about art. Actually, just avoid art entirely.
  20. Thumbs of Legends

    180 ish, enough to play with. Sunnfires was mostly a joke as we were running all tanks with multiple capes, we killed the dragon without attacking at all.
  21. Tomb Raider

    Edge has gone downhill recently.
