First, the methods you propose are beyond draconian, much less blatant horrific violations of even the most basic human rights. Have you even bothered to read your own posts?

Are you kidding me have you ever looked at how children are brought up starving from day one in vile putrid filth surrounded by horrendous violence in many of the third world countries?

The fact those people are allowed to continue to procreate is a draconian human rights violation in of it self, that is far far worse them making them stop!

Oh I'm sorry... are you saying that your plan of forced sterilizations, possibly in secret through the drinking water, is somehow not a form of horrendous violence in itself?
You're decrying that the fact that people are being "allowed" to procreate, a basic human right, is somehow a draconian human rights violation?


edited comments out by own decision. Still pissed though. Racist hate and the eugenics agenda is apparently still alive and well, just disguised through pseudoscience as being a sustainability/environmental concern.

Volunteer yourself to your cause, troll. :|

I don't think we have to worry. It's the intellectuals and educated who refuse to procreate. That's where the issue lies, not in white trash-10-children-families but middle class abortion humping couples.

Wow, look at the can of worms I opened. Are you suggesting that the current reproductive paradigm is one of dysgenics? That is to say that the smart people are not reproducing while the dumb people are reproducing, thus weakening the gene pool (assuming that the general intelligence factor (g-factor) is hereditary)? Responsible people with higher than average IQs are thus either having few children or, if the time is not or is never right, not having any children while, in the meantime, crack addicts pump out litters of crack babies while welfare mothers and other morons birth infants into poverty?

Maybe you'd enjoy the premise that underlies the unfortunately dumb movie, Idiocracy. It's a movie with some good ideas but an awful script and plot.

Ha Ha Ha,

Can the genius who wants to sterilize people by adding stuff in their water stand up please?

Since you're such a wizened fellow, Braznor, why don't you tell us why the idea of putting contraceptives in the water (eliminating unintended pregnancies) is such an awful idea in principle?

Some folks might unleash a knee-jerk scream, "But it violates individual rights!". The problem with that claim is that population growth and the birth of children into poverty constitute externalities at the expensive the people who aren't having the children.

Okay, how about we just cut your balls off?

Not the same thing, you say? Wrong, it is.

You only think it's different because you imagine that it's always other peoples' balls and ovaries we're talking about. In your mind, that makes it okay, you're just discussing hypotheticals in the third person, and selling them with a world-saving benefit, an illusion of protecting people from their own mistakes, and a faux appeal to self-interest. In my mind, that makes you a sociopath.
