| Orwell, the only person you are deceiving at this point is yourself! I said, "There is no such thing as an undesirable person. Don't be ridiculous." The person I was saying this to would probably have agreed with me, too. You took "Don't be ridiculous" by itself, and you tried to make it sound like ... |

| You seem extremely sensitive to even the slightest criticism, I have proven here and elsewhere that I respond positively to criticism under ordinary circumstances, even eagerly. You are making crap up again to try to discredit me, you criminal. You have no scruples at all. None!! !! I feel like you... |

| I wasn't meaning to accuse you of anything at all by asking that question. I was just meaning to ask what you envisionedthis initiative would accomplish, because I don't know the answer to the question, that is all. I was interested in discussing the ethics of eugenics, period. Why would be right/w... |

| I would apologize for any miscommunication simply to appease your hurt feelings, but I am less inclined to do so given that you have been libeling me all over WP. I can tend to be an aggressive debater, and I don't deny that, but I typically stay within limits and am not generally regarded as disho... |

| Orwell, this is a logistical problem, and it doesn't really address the issue of whether or not eugenics could be beneficial to society. However, could you suggest any solutions to this problem that would help make eugenics a feasible means of improving society at large? It's not a logistical probl... |

| No personal attacks; one can target the idea or position - NOT the person. I AM attacking his position. I'm attacking Orwell's position that it's okay to take what people say and twist it around to mean something else. It's low, and it's filthy. Does anyone disagree? Really, if you think that that ... |

| I don't see hell as being a place of torture in the sense that God stands over someone threatening to flog him thirty-nine times with a cat-of-nine tails if he is naughty or steps out of line. But nevertheless I do believe that hell is no fun place for a soul to be because the very presence of God ... |

| 'lfting people out of poverty' - I reject such 'enlightened' western conceptualisations. Tell it to the Chinese. Someone should. Their compulsory population control regime just doesn't work, at least not as far as I know. If you have any data support the idea, please deliver, but for the present I ... |

| There is something of a stigma attached to being sterilised, so I wouldn't expect many to opt for it to be honest. You would be surprised at how often men tend to opt for a visectomy. Heck, I am fully in favor of putting up billboards saying, "FREE VISECTOMIES! You can have all the unprotected sex ... |

| We must shove diversity down our own throats, our children's throats, and each other's throats because it's not something we take to very naturally. I disagree. It is part of human nature to rebel against things shoved down our throats. I didn't. When I was five years old and just starting Kinderga... |

| Does eugenics necessarily involve an authority which "encourages" certain types of people to reproduce and "discourages" certain others? (Editted for typo, and for edit explanation) Well, maybe a better way to do it would be to, for one thing, make sure that people from even very poor backgrounds u... |

| I would just point to the problem of information. As a biology student, the biggest thing I've learned is that we really know next to nothing about even the simplest aspects of life. We just don't have the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions on who should or should not reproduce, and bes... |
