Eugenics
« on: January 08, 2013, 06:36:23 pm »

This question popped up in another thread:

What, if any, eugenic methods are acceptable? On what kinds of traits should they be used? What should remain strictly off-limits?

Because of the, let's say, controversial nature of the topic, I'd ask everyone to be extra careful with making statements and expressing opinions. It's extremely easy to be misunderstood.

That having been said:

Um...why is this in forum games?  Is this some sort of idea collaboration thread?

Okay, disregard this thread or abuse it as you see fit.

I suggest talking about elephants.

They're big.

And grey.

Pretty cool, huh?

Portuguese men-of-war  are cooler than elephants
They are clear

And have poison

And also they form up into big groups and it's like cells but on a multi-cellular scale.

They can, but the interface is confusing. I just opened a new thread here

No offense meant, but I am unsure how the interface is confusing. And I don't mean specifically to you, but rather that is a thing you see people say or act like quite often. And since this is the interface:



I have always been a little curious. If one could oblige me by shedding some light upon the mass of confusion that seems to make?
