That's the spirit!

I just have to get my engineering degree, build some technologies first to acquire the wealth necessary to build a colony of that sort, acquire/round up some very essentially resources(lots of tech, books, and knolwedge), and plant life and what not.

I would also have to test out a few technologies in order to create a sea colony-

1. Structural reinforcement fields- These would be needed during storms, tidal waves, or Tsunamis, but they would protect the colony from the immense forces that both insure a limitless supply of energy, and offer great threats.

2. A certain type of water purifier, which would be able to remove all the fresh water from salt water, but at a very low energy cost.

3. High capacity stirling engines- Not really difficult, just a small modification to a stirling engine, so that it exerts more force when exposed to smaller energy levels. This would be needed for both power production when tides are down, and for nutrient reallocation from the deep sea to the surface, for hydroponic growth of plants.

These three technologies would be absolute essentials, and all three are very simplistic in nature.

1 would be necessary for large scale construction of ocean cities, 2 would be necessary to produce a large volume of fresh water for drinking, hydroponic and industrial purposes, and 3 would be necessary for energy production in the city, as well as for cargo transport(we couldn't use tidal power for ships transporting cargo, but oceanic thermal differences would provide a power source to transport goods to and fro, and ships could derive their power directly from their environment, rather than using tons of fossil fuels, thus allowing cheap transport of goods).

All of them should be easy to do.

This discussion is really hilarious. Thanks.

It is illegal to kill yourself quickly, you can kill yourself slowly (ie: smoking or drinking or hardening of the arteries) but you see when you kill yourself slowly you are being a good consumer for many years supporting various tobaco industries etc.

The reason its illegal to kill yourself quickly is because of "the sanctity of life" (its are relgious thing I'm told). by believeing that your life is worth somethere, you agree implicitly that others lives are worth something, and TPTB definitely want you to realize how important their lives are. they can't rule/work/ charge interest to a tomb stone.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'I')n the end we are all dead anyway (PO or not), its what we did, how we lived, what we believed that matters.
