This shit dates back to the 1980s when people first started talking about a "new" kind of economy without any primary industries, ie- resources or manufacturing. They called it 'the service economy", in which businesses like banking and insurance would dominate the economic landscape...

It's a good theory. I see two problems with implimenting it in practice though, along with one theorical one. Practice 1. How does one establish the exact value of the fetus? I can certainly see this becoming a BIG point of debate between the pro/anti abortion crowds- with the anti-crowd pushing for...

What makes you think a survival of the fittest soceity wouldn't have doctors? Afterall even the "fit" can be incapacitated by incidents that nothing to do with their genetics- like say car accidents that weren't their fault, or stray bullets from shootouts. Its competely rational to have d...

I've done that test- I didn't notice the Ape when I was completely sober.

The way it works these days is that parents refuse to discipline their kids because they want to be the child's "friend" so they'll come to the parent with any problems. Discipline is a dirty word, instead the goal is "socialization". That is the schools' job. However, if anythi...

So to answer your questions: sure, but good luck finding anyone willing to do it. Shouldn't be too hard- estimates run that the percentage of children not fathered by their "father" (ie- the man that the woman is married to) is between 10-20%. I don't mean just finding people willing to c...

Your sexual deviency is of no interest to us.

You're probably going to get alot of Spamlike posts around 2 million anyway- with people trying to be the "lucky poster".

I don't see it as a moral imperative that all intellegent men and women should follow, and certainly not at the cost of an otherwise potentially stable family (after all, even genetically intellegent children might be irrevocably messed up by a household shattered by a botched operation of this sor...

The guys coming forward now are a bunch of pussies to be complaining about this. What if the nun in question looked like Mr Six from those Six Flags ads? Odds are that if she's molesting you, you were the kid with the overactive imagination, that never paid attention, that she's punishing. So- you ...

Old news- the porn industry knew about this years ago.

I'm definitely not. Watching a movie on opening day is, to put it bluntly, a major pain in the posterior (even in a small theater). While I fully intend to see this movie, I can live with waiting a week or three for the hubbub to boil down. Yes- but then who would expect Batman to go see Superman o...

You are implying a forced breeding program in order to achieve a desired trait. That is eugenics. I never did any such thing. Mike was the one who pointed out that it would be more efficient and effective. I merely pointed out thtat it wasn't really possible to do it anyway. I posted at the same ti...

Sounds like eugenics. True. Keep in mind though, that many "eugenics" programs in the past were, at best, pseudo-science, and at worst excuses for genocide. None of this however changes the fact that humanity is a biological species whose traits are controlled by its genetic material. If ...

It can be argued that many problems of the world, such as religious fundamentalism, are rooted in, at least in part, the relativly low level of intellgence found in a large portion of the population. It can certainly be argued that many of these problems would disappear, or at the very least be less...

The bolded line certainly makes it appear as if he's refering to military personel specifically. (sigh) You just don't get it, do you? Of course military personnel have that mindset; they're trained to approach enemies with that mindset. The problem is that the civilian leadership of the country is...

Ooops- messed up my bolding. I was refering to the 145 IQ sentence.

This article is doing nothing but attacking a self-made carciture. It set's up and knocks down its own sterotype; I doubt that a signifigant portion of the armed forces have this attitude. As always, you step up to the plate, you puff yourself up, you try and look cool, and you whiff so hard you fa...

Elfdart- you're such an ideologically blind moron; you're so obsessed with making Repblicans look like the 2nd coming of the Nazi party that you're willing to completely ignore facts. Sigh.... You're entire premise falls apart right here. Since the end of World War II it has been the device by which...
