• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

I would get all of those and more, but only if the systems were completely autonomous and could only be controlled by signals originating directly from my brain. With such a body, I rather think I'd be be more than capable of taking care of myself, thus, I see no need at all for the government or anyone else to be able to access them for any reason.

Once the technology becomes widely avalible, you'll probably see a divide in society between people who are augmented and people who arent and feel that augmentation is wrong.
...And how about the people who think not augmenting is wrong and that only by making yourself one with the machine can you become close to the Omnissiah, Deus Mechanicus, The Machine God...

Are you saying that I can continue to lie around eating junk food, drink my weekly amount of alcohol daily, smoke like a chimney and generally have no respect for my body whatsoever...and still be healthy?

Healthy? You'll be able to leap buildings in a single bound, without spilling your drink.

No way would I get all that stuff. With my luck, it'd probably get hacked.
thats why you make sure the systems are entirely autonomous and accessible only through direct signals from your brain.
