Justice League Marathon on Boomerang?
Q. Did anyone else watch it today (Sunday, 7/30)? I've been watching since 8:00 a.m. and its after 11:00 p.m. I actually got teary when they did the funeral for Superman (when they thought he was dead). I have reached the nirvana of comic geekdom. Don't feel so bad - I'm 36!

A. I am watching it as well, it's awesome. I am watching the "Maid of Honor" episode. I am such a geek, by the way I am 21. You are never to old to love cartoons and comic books.

Should we use genetic enginering to eliminate "geeks and nerds" from humanity?
Q. It is often said, that "geeks" and "nerds" are needed for their inventiveness, ect. But consider the fact that most of them DON'T contribute or innvovate; most "geeks and nerds" just suffer in a society which not only doesn't understand them, it DOESN'T WANT to understand them. Also, consider that we are at the END of the age of scientific innovation, in all likelihood. (I remember the early 1970's; with the exception of the Internet and a few gizmos (ipods, ect.) life has changed very little from then.) Physics is basically a complete science, with nothing left to discover; I strongly suspect that even if technological civilization DOES have a long-term future, the world of one million years from now won't have much technology that we… [cont.]

A. First of all, who gets to determine which people are weeded out, and what is the criteria? Do you realize there are those who consider Y!A users to be "geeks"? Well then anyone even browsing this would be eliminated. Let's not forget Hitler held an ideal of weeding out those he deemed "unworthy." Second of all, how can you be so sure geek or nerd types have outlived their usefulness? There's more to a person's worth than their ability to further technology. Some of my best friends are geeks and they're damn fun to hang out with. Besides, if you plan to eliminate the geeks, whom do you plan to have develop the technology to do so?
