    I don't think it's a matter of being frightened; it's rather a matter of being oblivious.

    Could you explain that please?

    Oblivious to what? Do you mean oblivious to their freedoms?

    Yep.

    Never trust "the man". Ever.

    That's the most sound advice I can give.

    To the important things that are directly relevant to our lives, such as some of the political decisions made in America.

    Looks like the original author is a self-loathing wimp. Questions based on false premise to solicit victimhood. Can't even quote Franklin correctly.

    Yes, there are some wimps here, but there are also those who won't take self-loathing whiney crybaby crap either.

    Boo hoo, what about me, it isn't fair, I don't have enough now I want my share!

    It was a pretty good article. But it definitely smelled of crybabies and hippies.

    For example, about the police in the schools. Look at how the fucking kids behave now days. Guns, drugs, and whatever else they decide to do in school. It's not really the government, it's everyone. From the mothers and fathers to the president of the United States. Everyone is fat, content, and selfish. We have been on top for way too long and it's starting to cloud out judgment.

    Society in general is having a moral decline. I'm 26, I know. Most people my age couldn't tell you who Condi Rice is, don't know what a Sunni is, the list goes on.

    Honest to god, I think it's partly due to rap music. Some kids don't know how to tell entertainment form reality. Whatever the cause, something is seriously wrong with our country. It has nothing to do with republican or democrat either. Both parties are rotting from the inside out.

    Just P.S. and FYI: I actually listen to rap music. I'm not trying to pull a Bill O'Riley, but there is definitely an issue there.

    Eugenics is the way to go! Sterilize the idiots in school humanely - with chemicals - that way they have no progeny that is worse than them, and do it inhumanely to murderers, rapists, serial killers, pedophiles, etc.

    We stop the world's population from increasing beyond its bounds, and we stop the mentally incapable/insane from procreation. Welfare costs less, orphanages are no longer over-crowded, taxpayers save billions.

    You guys do realize you are pushing Hitler’s ideals of the Final Solution with advocating Eugenics right? Even though the idea originated in the U.S. Hitler made it his vision and put it in motion on a mass scale. Are you sure you want to associate yourself with such radical and simply inhuman views?

    The laugh is on you because your reading comprehensive skills are not all that good and you are not very versed on the discussion at hand.

    Nice source that starts out "In a nutshell" or the readers digest version or my take on things. Jews where not the only target of Hitler’s Final Solution and in fact they just fell into a sub-set group of his version of Eugenics.

    Also since your reading skills are lacking, I said Hitler took or adopted his version from the US. Implying that we had been practicing Eugenics in the past. You took it, for some ridiculous reason, to mean America is the new Nazi party. How you came to that conclusion is beyond me and only points to the fact that you are unable to comprehend the difference between past, present and future.

    Oh maybe you need a place to start?

    Incorrect, it was one person who suggested such. Take issue with him singularly, instead of dishonestly attempting to broaden the spectrum to include others.

    It is pretty plain to see the two people that posted here that where indorsing the issue. I do believe the majority of people with common sense would figure out exactly who I was referring to without me having to call them by name.:confused:

    No, it was one. Are you going to sell out for so little? Talk about reading comprehension problems :rolleyes:

    Eugenics being associated with NAZIs is a logical fallacy of an ad hitlerum - meaning because the NAZI Regime practiced a perverted version it must all be wrong.

    No no no. I don't mean sterilizing the ill - you CURE the ill. I mean sterilizing the mentally defective - as in the Hitlers, Manson's, Dommer's, and the idiots (see Darwin award nominees - they came close, but not close enough).

    Eventually under my total reign as world dictator these elements of humanity will cease to exist - but the gene pool will not be made so extremely shallow that we'd all be like a Royal Family... and/or like a few of my relatives by my aunt's marriage in the deep south...
