Could you clarify that one for me Scurvy? Thanks.

i would approve a law that would allow you to exterminate a pregnancy 'just because.'

pro choice.

EiG is, for once in his life, right. You measure caused harm in the economy by the fact that they dont give anything back to it. That person sitting there in a coma theyll never wake up from for 6 years is just running up a bill that we as society have to pay off. A kid that you know is going to be born with serious defects is the same case. Not to say that there arent plenty of non-retarded people that are a burden to society, but you cant KNOW that right from the start about them.

Dont try and say that quality of life is in the eye of the eye of the beholder. Just because a retarded person is happy in their own retarded world doesnt mean that theyre ever going to be a productive member of a team. Name one scenario in which retarded people have contributed to the world, aside from tasteless humor that makes more fortunate people laugh at them to feel better about their own shortcomings.

I should have more accurately quantified the word retarded as people who serve no value to society and instead cause harm to it. I would make a wonderful father, but I refuse to risk having my child subjected to the things I have in this world. And yes I would approve a law that would exterminate pregnancies if they were able to determine that the fetus would be born with extreme handicaps. It's my personal opinion as I believe choices like these would bring society closer to maximizing our potential, saving millions of lives in the long run. Every person's life has a specific monetary value whether we like the idea or not.

Your stupidity amazes me, but I will try to reply with something a bit more
thoughtful.

.. I tried but got tired and lost all hope, but I'll write something very short.


People who serve no value to the society and instead cause harm to it:

How do you measure value, and what do you mean by society, how do you
measure caused harm, have you thought of the reasons that there could be
behind desperate acts, shouldn't it be more important to work the problems
and not only the consecuences, why are there poor, unemployed,
uneducated, unfortunate people, criminals? Is every human supposed to serve
the the community he/she was born in by random in what ever way the
community tells him/her to? Read: Government wants you to fight in a war to
bring home more oil, or a multinational firm that doesn't care about it's
employees wants you to work in a tight box with no sunlight for the next 20
years until you have a burn out and they replace you. Are the things that you
value only valuable? Good life standards that are crystal clear to you may
have been fed to you your whole life and you've eventually started to think
like the most of the members in your community. That's when you also think
that submitting to power is an obligation. Read: Police, government, military.

I refuse to risk having my child subjected to the things I have in this world
And yes I would approve a law that would exterminate pregnancies if they
were able to determine that the fetus would be born with extreme handicaps:

How can you decide for your baby before he/she has even had a chance at
realizing how you've just given all your baggage to his/her shoulders without
asking him/her. People are different, life is about multiplying, learning and
passing on the knowledge to next generations, your child may very well be
stronger than you and be able to deal with the pressures your current society
creates, and decide to not make a decision on whether his/her child will have
a life or not. I'm not against abortion, but deciding to never have a child
because of personal experiences and illogical thinking is something I don't
understand. Some are good parents and try, some bad and don't even try.
Just because the parents haven't realized what a miracle they've created
doesn't mean the miracle isn't one.

Choices like these would bring society closer to maximizing our potential,
saving millions of lives in the long run. Every person's life has a specific
monetary value whether we like the idea or not:

I don't know where you're getting these kinds of thoughts from, but you're
now just dumping them simplified for us to read and it's really not even making
me think of the possibility that you might have a thought out, logical, fact
based arguement behind all of that bs. You're mixing genetics, economy and
talking of saving lives by killing lives. I'll answer in just as simple way, only
making the same kind of 5 second long logical thinking and here it is:
Difference and richness in genes is essential to the variety that makes it
possible to continue life. No human is in the position to say that certain
qualities in genes are not called for. I'll just ignore you last sentence because
it's just something you've been fed your whole life and you've started to
believe it with out questioning.

You do understand that the reason you might not appreciate someone's right
to live a good life could be because of the needs you've interpreted that your
current society has, and that your thinking is a victim of your surroundings?
Would you think in the same way in a world where overpopulation didn't cause
hunger and pollution, where poverty, violence and intolerance didn't exist and
people weren't held accountable for the community they were born in, but for
the community they actually joined themselves?

You know who else liked Eugenics?
Hitler.
You nazi.

(godwin's law)

But still, that's not for us to determine. We, as individuals, have no right to impede on another person's right to have that kid if they wanted to. That invades SOO many privacy laws, and rights to privacy, that I can't even fathom how that would stand up as a decent argument outside a fucking Klan meeting.

Once you step on that line, you go into the area of aborting pregnancies based on fetal development, and that's a whole 'nother can o' worms. Just because you think the "gene pool" would benefit from such an action (here's a hint, it wouldn't. and even if it did, AND IT WON'T, you would not see the benefits from it, for you will be dead for a LONG LONG time.) does not mean that we have to sacrifice inherent individual rights.

You know what? Why don't we just kill off those that fail mandatory NCLB tests? For the betterment of knowledge, god damn it!

i agree 100% with you, if my child is ever severely mentally retarded, i would rather him not suffer his entire life not living up to his full potential, being looked down upon by others. I tried voicing this amongst a group of my peers and i was looked at like some sort of terrorist..

the reason is because you would probably be mistaken as a retard and executed for the betterment of this nation. You know people with Down Syndrome don't think they have Down Syndrome? They just think they are acting normally. Maybe?

My grandmother works every day with people with learning disabilities, and some of the kids are mentally retarded. I see the love she has for those kids, and I see the joy she brings those kids, and it makes me CRAZY to hear things like this. Normal people (if you guys can even be considered that) saying things like this makes me more scared for humanity than Joe Schmo having a retarded baby.

I hope you have a retarded baby. Seriously dude, they are people too, they have feelings, just because that guy is twisted and demented doesn't mean we need to "exterminate" them all.

We need a 21st century Hitler who's interested in exterminating the retarded.

I am not seeking males if you are one that wandered into this post, you hurt and abuse girls like us and don’t care that you do. Sorry folks had to say that as I know they will try to answer this post. They always do. Seems like a girl can’t have a girl moment with other girls and enjoy herself. OK so if this is you please answer would like to have someone to hang out with.

this is the lifetime network incarnate,

[Eric is God]

me and my friends have an ongoing contest to see who can find the most bizarre personal ads on craigslist. i'm not sure how many of you frequent the site, but there is some pretty ridiculous stuff that people post.

anyways, kind of fun if you're bored--here is the current leader:

see if you can top that.

Just when I thought I had a handle on how screwed up people can be... I mean wtf?! That is wrong on almost every possible level. The only thing that could possibly make that worse is if he was looking for men aged 1-14 instead of 25-70. That just crushed the last hope I had for the redemption of the human race. We need a 21st century Hitler who's interested in exterminating the retarded. I nominate the Catholic church or Oprah, both seem up to the task and have about the same level of influence.

brilliant.
