to spend on scientific research, what would you spend it on? Why?

The human reaction and Idea of Fear and Horror by Creating the Tipical "horror" Theme, and them several others and see the results..


I would really like to do that...

Just off the top of my head I would probably put it into the human genome project.

I think the human genome project would be very worthwhile because by studying the human genome we learn a lot about diseases and how to deal with them in general (not just through genetic engineering techniques). When we study the genome we actually learn a lot of about how proteins function and what roles they play in disease and well-being in general in general.

So my vote would probably go for the human genome project. I think that would be the wisest investment at this point in history. Or other medical fields possibly.

My other choice would be renewable energy sources, but I think commercial enterprises will probably deal with that on their own. So the genome project would benefit more by the grant.

The ecosystem also comes to mind, but once again, I don't think we need to do 'research' on that so much. I think we alredy know what actions need to be taken. So spending money on 'research' for that seems like a waste of time. I also feel that what we learn from the genome project could potentially help with the ecosystem anyway. From what I understand a knowledge of how to genetically engineer fast growing very large trees and plants could ultimately be the key to salvaging and reparing the astmosphere. So once again, the genome project may actually turn out to be the key to saving the planet.

So I'm looking at the genome project as being potentially quite helpful for humanity in general as well as possibly helping to save the entire planet from biosphere doom.

I would spend it on trying to find cures to many illnesses . There are so many sick people who can not enjoy life or do the simple basic daily things . I hate to see anyone suffer . In research one hundred million dollars is not that big amount .

I agree, using the money top help others is a noble thing...

I think I would spend it on further research into the paranormal, such as the original Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research.

I think that if we were to find a means of enabling or enhancing everyone's innate paranormal abilities, it would usher in the biggest, most widespread change this planet has ever seen in it's entire multi-billion year history.

That idea really excites me.

That idea actually excites me also... how fun would that be..

I would spend it on research to find out if penis size is really important to women, as it is a topic that seems to come up every week in the intimacy/sex forum.

yes, it is...

There, I just saved you a hundred million dollars

Please spread the word.

I'd give it to the IRS---cuz there going to get most of it anyway--- And think af all the wonderful things the government can spend it on!

the kidney foundation so they could build an artifical kidney

why? so that robin wouldn't ever have to worry about not getting a compatible kidney and/or it being rejected.

Those are all great ideas...except giving it to the IRS

Be nice if we could do these things,
have some say in what is done with the money

I wouldn't let the government be part in a scientific research first off. The government has shown they are horrible bookkeepers and financial advisors for many decades now.

I would use the money as a private enterprise supported by concerned parents and corporations who really want to help in a program on how we as a people can educated children the importance of peaceful coexistence and the tolerance and understanding of various cultures, lifestyles, and belief systems in a exciting computer program by the most advanced and skilled professionals.

These programs of education would be distributed to classrooms as a new age of educating children to ensure that those who become important figures in society will preserve peace, can be brilliant diplomats, and can encourage and use savvy language to create peace without the resort of war.

I would hope that this starting money of a hundred million would also add in funds in time to trillions upon trillions of dollars to ensure every child in the world regardless of poor or rich can have the opportunity to get a great educational program and system that actually teaches the importance of understanding cultures and peaceful coexistence.

Of course further educational strides would be included educating our children the problems our planet is facing such as fresh water depletion, energy resource issues, etc. etc.

Education is where I would put the money if I would ever had the opportunity to lead such a project receiving such huge funds.

Actually a hundred million isn't alot to tell you the truth, but it is a start.

If it were true that the IRS wasn't going to take most of it---Then i would spend it on crap for me. LOTS OF CRAP---CHINESE CRAP FROM WAL-MART- i MAY NOT BE HAPPY AT THE END --BUT LOTS OF CHINESE WOULD KEEP THERE JOBS---AND THAT WOULD BE A GOOD THING---RIGHT?

are you sure you wouldnt rather give it to the kidney foundations?

I was going to say that..but I didn't want him to yell at me....

oh he can yell at me

I used to be married. I'm used to it

ok they can have some--
