Ignorance is not bliss

And all ignorant bastards should be locked up in prison, don't you think?

Definitely. Do you have a particular type of ignorant bastard in mind CR, or just ignorant bastards in general?

Not a fan of eugenics so I will pass on the plan.

I'm not usually either, but today I'd make an exception

All ignroant bastards.

Stupidity needs to be more painful.

That's my boss and at least half my so-called colleagues then .

The prison system in the UK just won't be able to cope

We need one of California's earthquakes to rip the state off of the main land, then get all the smart people out (that like fifty people maybe?), then have a few ships patrol and let nobody out and ship all the idiots there.

I'm not into Eugenics, so I too will pass on the long-term incarceration. However, I think all the people in the U.S. with an IQ < 90 should be locked up prior to the next presidential election so they don't vote another one of their kind into office. We can let them out after Hillary or Barack take the oath of office.

There is this guy called Uncle Al that was notorious for trolling around the net with his
philosophy. He was a genius chemist that often posted in the sci.chem news group is where I learned of him.

Ul Al quotes "stupidity should be lethal"

He had something like "ignorance can be temporary but stupidity is forever"

He said "all people like Downs(etc) should be euthanized".

What I read lately he is not so mean. Anyway its largely a fascist bigot way of thinking.

There is a myth that some how aspies are more understanding and less likely to be bigots but there is nothing in the DSM-IV backing that up. My observation on WP I tend to observe that aspie are just as likely as the general population to think they are better than others.

I disagree strongly.
What is good, without evil to counterbalance? How do you know when the sun comes up, if it never gets dark? How can you value joy, when nothing ever rips your guts out through your butthole?
Intelligence needs stupidity, to keep it strong, alert and vibrant. Without stupidity to show what you should not do, how can you get an accurate idea of what you should do?

The problem is, the ignorant are more likely to breed...

I recently read of a movie called "Idiotocracy" where the future is inhabited entirely by stupid people. Quite funny to read about, frightening to contemplate.

They should be put in a gas chamber and given a "shower".

Really CockneyRebel, remember the slippery slope, and all that ...
