Flying cars are becoming reality within 20 years

Finally the future will look like what many of us have envisioned since childhood. I would be somewhat in the old age group, but as long as I get a chance to ride one before I die, I will be a happy camper.

Is it a matter of time before USA invades Iran?

And would it escalate to WWIII?

Why isn't the Hubble Space Telescope not pointed at Alpha Centauri?

It's the closest star system to solar system and may actually have a planet similar to earth, so why is NASA not looking at it 24/7? This is not acceptable!

Reincarnation revisited

This was a discussion I had at the IMDB board for a movie "Passion of the Christ", where the argument was that reincarnation is not plausible simply because there are not enough souls a.k.a. spirits to recirculate today's population if reincarnation is how things work. Naysayers claim that new souls have to come in so why the need for reincarnation in the first place. Another point is that naysayers think the term "soul" or "spirit" shouldn't be substitited as the measuring standard of human consciousness when it's not proven scientifically of why each individual is unique in his/her own.

So what do you think about reincarnation now?

World Cup 2006 in Germany

2006 is one of those years where two of my favorite sporting events take place, the Winter Olympics, and World Cup, if you need to find me, I'll be right in front of the tv set, you know what I mean? The fact that these two events go on every 4 years add to the anticipation and excitement they bring. But lately, I have been more excited about World Cup than Winter Olympics, growing up in USA did its best to take my interest away from soccer, which it did to a certain point since I watch more american football than anything else, but the game is so pure and beautiful to watch that I couldn't help but appreciate it as I watched more of the sport. I did play soccer as a kid so the game isn't completely foreign to me, if I never played the game, maybe I never would show any interest in watching it either. The last time World Cup was held in Europe was back in 1998 where France hosted, and France won it all, that team was pure art in motion, amazing skill and teamwork was displayed as I watched in awe. 2002 World Cup was quite entertaining, as the co-host country Korea made to semifinals and watching all those Korean people chanting and rooting for their team was quite a sight. Some people say the refs were bribed, but what I saw was a very competitive team Korea had, in beating Portugal, Poland, Spain, Italy before falling 1-0 to a finals team, Germany. Brazil won it all which was expected, and 2006 shouldn't be any different, however I always root for the underdog, and in many occasions the beauty of soccer is that the underdogs win quite often.
