I don't think I'm necessarily brainwashed. I see the military's good attributes as well as the negative. But I derived my conclusions of the military based solely on my knowledge of it.

But back on the topic, im curious, how do you know all these facts?

Originally posted by BTG see, thats why i'm never going into one of those teleporters (when they become a method of travel) cause really, you die when you go in, and you have a clone (exactly the same) but its still not you. you die. that sucks.

Well I haven't read the article, but you're thinking of teleportation in which you're atomic structure is broken down and re-assembled elsewhere, as if you were simply cloned in another location. But if they're talking about bending/breaking through space-time, it's possible for just your entire physical structure to be moved.
