No one has a f*cking clue about Brexit because all sides can see the massive economic sh*tstorm on the horizon. The Bundestag and ECB are going to f*cking murder us with any transitional trade deal, the banks will clear out of London and instead of a competent, highly intelligent group of politicians leading us, we have the political equivalent of the cast of Loony Tunes lead by a woman who's had a mental breakdown leading us.

Still, at least we can shut down the borders. Not that anyone will want to come here soon...

If punk ever happened I'd be preaching the law, instead of listenin to Lydon lecture BBC4

Be worried, very worried if you agree with eugenics.

"uneducated ramblings of the uneducated"

"Everything is air-droppable at least once."

"When the going gets tough, the tough call for close air support."

Back before science enabled us the opportunity to improve genes to avoid terrible life shortening conditions eugenics was essentially the idea that stopping poor people or mentally challenged people from mating would improve the species. If was about way before the Nazis.

I know of no one officially pushing this nor should they....though people practice a form of indirect eugenics in discriminating over who they ultimately have children with. People with undesirable attributes and conditions don't get to mate as much and are indirectly wiped out over time....Anyone crying for them? Lets demand more people with cleft lip and cleft palates! On a serious note, conditions like those can now be radically improved with modern medicine but there is a reason that it isn't common place and that's mate selection over previous generations when it couldn't be solved.

Anyway, the idea that improving human genes is inherently negative is the domain of the wrong. No one should suffer and it should and can be used to improve life for everyone who needs it. We are moving into an era where we will be able to help and improve human conditions and later on perhaps the disabled, the people with low IQ, and obviously the diseased. No one suffers through these advancements.

The fact that some people still equate eugenics with Hitler's limited time in power just shows that intellectually they haven't moved on....perhaps they are unable to.

People who push emotion over reason are the problem.

I brought eugenics to this thread at least be consistent and ignore my input.

1930s and the Final Solution again. You live in the wrong age, and country, I'm sure you've covered off the political angle.

I'm awaiting the thread on how marvellous phrenology is.

Bet they've changed a nappy.
