And have you ever heard of how the ancient Celts used to go into battle buck naked, covered only in blue paint,
to show their enemies that they had no fear of them or of death? Besides, Samurais wore body armor (not all heavy
and unwieldly like mideival Knights, but still), and you know those mofos weren't afraid of death.

First of all, only a handful of kooks are out there trying to achieve physical immortality through cloning. The
reputable "white" scientific community you're talking about is doing research on cloning and other "weird science"
type ish so they can use that knowledge to cure diseases, repair damaged organs, etc. It's not so much about a fear
of death as it is about improving the quality of life. Not everything scientists do is related to some diabolical scheme
(but I suppose you ascribe to the whole Dr. Yacub / mad-scientist-created-the-white-devil thing, and think that this is
somehow related). Besides, the Japanese are also heavily into cloning research and other "weird science", and you know
they ain't afraid of death (see response to #1)

The reason is to boldly go where no man has gone before!... Seriously though, there are both practical and more ethereal
reasons to colonize Mars and space in general. In practical terms, the Earth will one day become uninhabitable regardless
of what damage we have done or will do to the planet. Unless the human race want to go the way of the dinosaurs and become
extinct, we have to colonize space, and Mars is the first step towards that end. It's not about fear of death, it's about
survival of the species. As for the ethereal reasons, consider the following words about the exploration of space:

"The urge to explore, the quest of the part for the whole, has been the primary force in evolution since the first water
creatures began to reconnoiter the land... Living systems cannot remain static; they evolve or decline. They explore or
expire. The inner experience of this imperative is curiosity and awe. The sense of wonder- the need to find our place in
the whole- is not only the genesis of personal growth but the very mechanism of evolution, driving us to become more than
we are." - Wyn Wachhorst

You've got it all wrong. It's not about fear at all. It's about conquering fear and reaching out into the great unknown,
and growing and improving in the process. If you don't get that, then I don't know how to explain it any better. I'd just
have to say that you lack vision and imagination and move on.

That isn't a fear of death, it's a smart military strategy.

I don't know about Islam being a "white" religion, but as for the other two, yeah, I'll give you that one.

OK, white minds created weapons of mass destruction. And that translates into fear how...?
