"I hate English so I'm going to take a subject where I get assessed based on the quality of the arguement I present in clean well formed English."
Also, English as a subject has more to do with creative process than it does with one's command of the language. So what you said actually has fuck all to do with your inability to form a coherent sentence.
IE user?
-
I'm fairly sure I have solid sentence structure, spelling, grammar, and punctuation, and that I know how to articulate myself...yet I failed English in 7th form so go figure :|
Based on the general forum posts of some young ones and the txt speak of late I'm positive I could go back now and smash the tests in school. Not sure if English was harder back in the day but it sounds like they've made it easier to pass these days.
e: that's not to say all 7th formers are dumb...just my view on the current level of English used

Eugenics was a widely respected science until the nazi's got their hands on it. It was still widely used throughout the US until the mid 80's iirc when everyone started bawling about the nazi's. Using it to wipe out Jews and gypsies is bad, but using it increase the overall intellect of the human race is a platform that is vastly easier to debate.
Nazi's loved jets and rockets, you don't see people bitching about those bits of technology, but mention eugenics and suddenly everyone thinks you're washing jew ashes off your hands while black slaves massage your Aryan shoulders.

Just to say, I did exactly what OLWAG is going to do in my 7th form year, for largely the same reasons.
But at least I had a decent grasp on the language.

True. Feminists, and I am talking 18th and early 19th century here, also realised that to break out of the public perception of being 'babyHome makers' they needed to take control of the birth process. This gave rise to the popularity of the birth control pill in the sixties and seventies.
the most urgent problem today is how to limit and discourage the over-fertility of the mentally and physically defective.
Margaret Sanger eh? Seemingly innocuous quotes out of context get approval from resident redneck :P
Eugenics, it's been talked about for a long time:
"Ram, ass, and horse, my Kyrnos, we look over
With care, and seek good stock for good to cover;
And yet the best men make no argument,
But wed, for money, runts of poor descent.
So too a woman will demean her state
And spurn the better for the richer mate.
Money's the cry. Good stock to bad is wed
And bad to good, till all the world's cross-bred.
No wonder if the country's breed declines-
Mixed metal, Kyrnos, that but dimly shines."
- Theognis of Megara on eugenics and dysgenics, circa 520 B.C.
Using it to wipe out Jews and gypsies is bad, but using it increase the overall intellect of the human race is a platform that is vastly easier to debate.
One of the reasons why I liked Borat is because his comic treatment of Gypsies. Sure, stupid people get a laugh out of it just like they did with the Jew jokes, but if you we dig a little deeper...

ERRC Says Romania Continues to Flout European Court of Human Rights
19 July 2011
The submission involved Moldovan and others v Romania (Nos.1 & 2) and two other linked cases, all of them involving anti-Roma violence. This implementation report demonstrates that the Romanian government has failed to rebuild the affected communities and to address the interethnic tension, as the Court prescribed through general measures. Although it has been more than 6 years since the first of these judgments and nearly 20 years since the attacks on people and property, the devastated and divided communities remain without the promised support.
http://www.errc.org/cikk.php?cikk=3914You find that the jokes are not funny for the reasons you think they are.

The gypsy culture is shit.

Eugenics is the art of animal husbandry.
And botanists everywhere.

lol I can see why one of your church buddies or websites linked you to that group.
If you do some research on the Population Research Institute you will find it is funded by right-wing religious Americans who are anti-abortion and anti-conception.
I mean seriously the information on that website is ridiculously brief considering the issues they are tackling.
I love how they say over population doesn't cause poverty by suggesting poor countries aren't densely concentrated yet fail to mention some of the worlds most densely populated (and poor) countries and instead cherry pick a place like the congo that has been through a ridiculous amount of war.
I have no idea how a thread about IE users got to here but whatever :p

I think the threads just more about stupid people in general.

The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...
Christians, making no sense for 2000 years.

They need to stop with these silly studies and send more monkeys to space. If they send enough, the monkeys can start a colony on Mars, and in time build an army to send back to Earth to wipe out man-kind.
Wait, on second thoughts, I'd like to see more moustache driven studies. It's what separates us from the monkeys. I've never seen an Orangoutang with a set of handle-bars.

@bell: I'm on the fence personally as I haven't looked at both sides of the arguement thourghly on overpopulation, just presenting the other side so there is some sort of balance.
When it comes to abortion I am pro life simply because you can't deny that aborted babies were alive and they are humans. Do you know how abortion takes place? Have you seen an aborted baby?
-

That's what fox news says.
View points aren't created equal.
Presenting the other side of the argument when it comes from a dubious source isn't really worth it, you have to look at where your information comes from and who is presenting it.
You can still be careful with what information you give credence to and be open minded.
Before I even begin reading a lot of information I look for the author or organisation who is presenting the information to find their motivations and bias.
It saves a lot of time.

Yes and for others if they can't handle having the baby they can put it up for adoption

I don't walk to school it's on the other side of town, it's the waiting to be picked up from the bus stop that's scary and I do keep it in my pocket but SA is really dodgey

Last movember I grew the gnarliest set of handlebars.
But I looked like an underworld hitman, so I shaved it off.
Then I grew a second set before Movember finished just to see if I could.

@matt:An unreasoned opinion how so?
@steddie: Arguing about abortion not sex
You can go on forever but I was raised as a Catholic and half of my family persecuted as such, mock me and my faith but you are entitled to your own beliefs, neither of us is going to come to an agreement so we'll leave it at that?

Classics is basically all this.
-
So if some low life raped your mother, or your dad kept it in the family with your sister, they should have the baby?
In the earlier case no, or we rapists aren't people so it's ok to kill because the child is actually satan's spawn.
In the latter case, fuck yes. I'm the son, I interited the pervertedness. Imma have a turn while she's pregnant, that way I can't get myself into the same trouble dad did. Can't get pregnant twice!
And if she doesn't get pregnant, dad won't find out because there'll be no evidence and he won't done gone get jelly-us and mads and kill me deaad and bury me arse up next to uncle cousin billy.

Classics is basically all this.
Then I'm set

Unsure.

Not sure if want discussion with 15yr old about abortion.
derp.

Being against abortion isn't that unreasonable.
Abortions aren't a good thing they are only perhaps a nessasary evil.
I only pointed out that the group pushing the over-population is a myth thing seem to have political motivations behind their website.
They are against population control because they seem to be against contraception and abortion so there is a good chance they are not tackling the issue fairly.
-
Over population is a myth: mankind always finds a way to kill each other.
We shouldn't get worried until we catch all the murderers, terrorists and find peace on earth between all nations, creeds and religions.
Also: yes maybe retards tend to breed a bunch. But they also tend to kill themselves a bit more often too.
-
I think we are gonna need afew more murders terrorists and wars if that's your solution then.
-
Hell I've been advocating starting an alternative to "Tearfund" and similar charities for years. Call it "Bulletfund" and every dollar you donate goes towards ammo to keep the 3rd world population under control.
Also, OLWG, The only reason Catholics hate abortion is because they like to fuck children. Were you planning to grow up to be a priest? Shall I fetch you some choir boys?
-
I don't think global over-population is a problem.
I think the problem is local over-population in areas with scarce resources. World wide we have enough food to feed everyone, it's just all the food is sitting in the wrong place, and it's difficult and costly to transport it till where it's needed.

Fit in with the locals
Or don't live technicly in manurewa (like alfriston or something)

Yes I live next to alfriston, But I still walked through manurewa.
Got nothing worth stealing? ehh. I walk through casually with my rent money every thursday night. Have a semi expensive phone which I leave in my pocket. Shoes look like they might be worth stealing.
Other than that, No I'm not flashing a laptop or any diamond rings around.
I don't know about fitting in? I just walk around.
