    That and also people would freak out thinking that it would be used so that the government can spy on people, just like every other new technology that has been made.

    Why does our govenrment constantly reveal our secrets on the discovery and military channel! And now you Youtube.

    This is why we’re losing the war, they know what we’re bringing over there before it’s even patented!

    Why would the army want a little remote controlled bird to look at hiding places when they already have small remote control cars that have been designed just for that reason ???

    any noob dumb enough to stand in the way of a helecopter blade deserves to die. Go look up yearly deaths due to helecopter blades. ZERO. Youre an idiot that youre concerned about that as an issue. And if the military wanted to use to for the purpose of cutting you up, there’d be nothing you could do about it anyway. So sit there, and accept your death, instead of fearing it every moment from everything in life. Noob.

    If you think that ALL that humans have created would be a pile of rust in 50 years I would say that you need to read up on some subjects! Or at least lay of the drugs for a while..

    There is no doubt that if all humans died, it would be a matter of time before things would be gone, but it would be a a lot more than a half century. (Just look at all the archeology finds that are several thousand year old)

    If you think that we are over populated and a virus, why are you not the first to put a bullet in the head then?

    Morality is good, double morality is twice as good, or is it?
