What are your opinions on eugenics? I myself strongly support voluntary promotional eugenics, & believe that the government should pay less desirable people to stop breeding.

Eugenics has already been tried many times and failed horribly every single time. Someone would have to be pretty darn ignorant of history and pretty damn arrogant to think, of all the forms of eugenics that's been attmpted over the years, theirs will work.

The government already does not want to pay people what they are due. What makes you think the government will pay people to stop breeding?

Little boy, did your mommy give you stupid juice or something? I think we've been through this before. What exactly do you think the undesirables in our lovely world are? Please tell I'd love to know what people you want to deprive of their reproductive rights so badly?

You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid. Tinkety Tonk and down with the Nazis. 
Well, I definitely think some people shouldn't be allowed to breed. I feel like a lot of people breed cause that's what your suppose to do. Eugenics is a little extreme, I think the human race needs a culture change and a better understanding of population and it's effect of ecosystems.

I think everyone with an IQ lower than average should be eligible for such a pension. 
But then wouldn't the average IQ keep rising to where only MENSA-eligible people would be encouraged to reproduce?

Most of your posts sure sound like someone on the low end of that 99th percentile.
