This is why people should have to be licensed before they can breed.
I whole heartedly support the idea, but you do realise saying things like this tends to bring out Godwin's law in record time right?
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.
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 know 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.

Quote from: Tiwaking!;1340578the 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 Eugenics, it's been talked about for a long time:Quote"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.

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.
Yay for the misuse of statistics.
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.

IMO IM clients are my downfall for grammar, spelling and punctuation.
As a devout catholic and someone trying to keep an open mind, here is the other side of the argument:http://overpopulationisamyth.com/
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.
