Most mutations are benign, neither helpful or harmful to any great extent. Your average person has about 128 mutated genes, in the sense that they were incorrectly copied during meiosis and can be found in neither parents.

I have no idea what movie you were referring to. :c

[MetalSlimeHunt]

Good.

Idiocracy? I think maybe?

Which I am fairly sure was a satire if anything and to be honest I have never seen anyone take it seriously, but according to MSH it is?

[MetalSlimeHunt]

Now you've done it, all is lost. Yes, you will find hordes of people who take that movie seriously and think it is portraying a real possibility.

Oh please, that was ridicluous. "The scientists were too busy attempting to make longer monkey dicks to prevent the spread of stupid". That's just sad.
Every culture idolizes the one before, and think the one after is worse.

Oh, I thought you were talking about Gattaca. Saying "that movie" isn't very specific.

Piff. Yeah right. I bet about 40% of America right now would vote yes on sterilization of homosexuals.

What the hell does sterilizing homosexuals have to do with eugenics? Bisexuals, I can maybe understand, but, if my understanding of the matter is correct, those of the strictly homosexual persuasion don't tend to put themselves in the position to impregnate or be impregnated by anybody.

1: That does not really matter. Eugenicists are not normally thinking with logic anyway.

2: Gay people do have kids.

Either this is a joke, that simply isn't funny or I'm speechless.

I think it's because helgoland made an intersting error. Simply pointing it out. I however will throw blame at him for perpetuating outdated imperialist dogma and oppressing the masses. But that's just me.

1. I'll give you that, but 2. I'm willing to bet that most gay people who have conceived did so before they learned they were gay, or, at least, before they came out of the closet. Sterilizing such people is like cutting off the horse's balls after it's left the barn, or however that saying goes.

Is Helgoland really our only German?

[Askot Bokbondeler]

i know at least another one, and i doubt he would be unconfortable if i mentioned him, but i'd rather not bring up his name in a thread he might not be aware of and etc.

yea, ptw. i'm half expecting a shit-storm eventually

Heh, I started a thread about this a while back and it was locked in a few days.

Eugenics doesn't work in practice. Not being born is worse than inheriting a fatal genetic disorder. It's an interesting concept, but like the right to vote, everyone will insist that they're good enough for it.

Plus, people with disorders are often some of the best at what they do. Humans are probably some of the weakest animals in history - no claws, no poison, slow, babies take too long to become not helpless. But because of this weakness, they mastered tools.
