Whose science though? Clearly not what the mainstream is saying. I mean they are all puppets to Governments with hidden agenda trying to hide the truth from us all.

Wow. This reminds me of my grade 12 philosophy debate, gone wrong.

Off topic, but should the Stampede take a more Christian angle?

The fundamental issue here is where do you draw the line if you support revoking reproduction rights to mentally disabled people. What about people with a predisposition to depression? What about people with a genetic history of cancer? What about people who genetically will get parkinson's disease?

The whole thing is eugenic nazi crap.

The internet: where morons can be morons behind a mask.

Wow, I had no idea so many people actually felt like this, and are so unable to see not only the inhumanity behind it, but the simple fact that something like this would just not work in the way that even the person with the best intentions (and I feel bad using that term cause anyone who seriously thinks there is something good behind really needs to think the whole thing through and stop looking at the world in black vs white) would hope it works.

I hope my prior posts are still being read, cause they're still applicable.

I know what your saying and I could not agree more. We have a population problem and more and more smart people are choosing not to reproduce because nobody in power is doing anything about the issue. The problem with that is the dumb people are still reproducing like crazy and what inevitably will happen is an overpopulation of mentally challenged/lower intelligence people. Anyhow, don't take these guys comments to heart, once one long time poster on here bashes you the other sheep on here follow because its the "cool" thing to do rather then form their own opinion or even be honest about how they actually feel. Kudo's to you for being a thinker instead of a follower. Now said sheep will rip into me.
Or maybe people like you just haven't thought the whole issue through.

As mentioned, population control, I also have no problem with. But drawing a line of who should and who shouldn't is not only morally wrong, it's logically stupid, as it's impossible to judge. And it's unfair because many healthy sane people make just as bad decisions.

You talk about us being on our high horses, but your whole premise smacks of elitism and arrogance. Of judgment and classes. Don't you see that?

Don't you think THAT is a bit more 'high and mighty' than just sticking up for the moral high ground however popular an opinion it might be?

Here's a thought. Maybe it's a popular opinion cause it makes the most sense?

I guess if hypocracy and blind prejudice make you a thinker than yeah... Kudos.

Well done.

For the record, I don't believe anything I wrote after I labelled myself a realist.

Ok I'll bite. What scientific facts? Please, present them. Evolution? Not a scientific fact. Darwin long fought with the idea of presenting his thesis, his thesis was based on selective facts and ignored many other contradictory examples, but he published anyways due to other competition. Did you fail grade 10 biology or something? Usage of resources? Look at the consumption of Canada and the United States vs China. Population control? If it really meant that much to you, don't have kids. Be part of the solution, not the problem. Overpopulation? Why? What are your scientific facts? Not guesses, not links other hypothesis, what are the facts? Why not exterminate Canada rather than California? Same number of people. I bet if you looked at consumption of resources per capita, it would be pretty close. You want to argue intellectual evolution, then exterminate California where (2 years ago) would have been the 5th largest economic power if they were an independent country? Besides Tel Aviv, there is probably the highest concentration of graduate degrees in the world. Really, you have no idea what the F you are talking about.

Funny you start off this train wreck thinking you are some philosopher or member of the intellectual elite.. only to fire blanks on just about every single argument you tried to present (not that you had a central argument at all).
