    Eugenics is a failed idea. Why? We really don't know enough about genetics to produce the master race.

    Also, setting up the above government would be an action of tyranny. The only way you could enforce it would be a repressive police state. See my sig.

    Which goes to show that they didn't understand the concept of recessive genes. Recessive genes don't disappear. They just aren't expressed. They can come back in the next generation. My wife has hazel eyes, I have green eyes--both traits that are dominant over blue eyes. Our two boys have extremely blue eyes (like my father and her father have).


    Nice sophomoric idea of a party. Thankfully, it won't get traction.

    Actually, the allies bombed/destroyed the Nazi heavy water factory in Norway which set the Nazi A-bomb research back quite a bit.

    Actually, the average IQ is going up in the U.S.

    St. Thomas Aquinas and most Jesuit Priests are examples where your above stereotype is wrong.

    Natural law. If they can survive to the point where they have children, they have the right to have them. That is natural selection, not your artificial version of it.

    Actually, intelligence is not mostly genetic. The correlation between IQ of child and parent (where the two do not live together, but were separated at birth) is about .22. That is a fairly low correlation. When child and parent were together, the correlation was .42, which is a moderate correlation. That shows to me that environment is at least as important as genetics in terms of intelligence. In addition, the average IQ in the U.S. is rising. This shows that there is an environmental aspect to it. You can't argue that high IQ people are producing more children, so, our average IQ is rising DESPITE the fact that "dumber" people are producing more children.

    You do realize that smart people can produce naturally stupid children and that naturally smart children can be produced by unintelligent parents. Also naturally smart children can be nurtured into unintelligent adults. Just some food for thought.

    At least learn how to spell properly before advocating getting rid of dumb people.

    Yea no (*)(*)(*)(*), artificial selection is more efficient than natural selection, because humans have created methods to keep natural selection from killing the unfit children that shouldn't survive out in nature.

    Although enviroment does play a roll in intelligence, I would reccomend you look at the bell curve, it shows that inteligence is inherited.

    To sum up this thread, the Darwin Party is a fascist party. Nothing more needs to be said.

    So if we take away the fact that they were 10 years away due to huge blunders then they almost have it? Sorry, I live in reality.

    Actually, the heritability has been estimated to be as high as .90, varying from .5 to .9. The heritability increases significantly once they enter their adult years.

    Not entirely. Also, there are a lot of valid criticisms of the science in that book. I didn't deny a genetic component, of course there is, but environment can't be ignored, as it is probably equally important.

    Different studies, different results.

    IMHO, smart people raise smart children, primarily due to environment.

    I thought that you want them bred to be engineers and scientists. Now you want them to survive out in nature. Which is it?

    Will you now tell us that part of your master plan is to breed super smart, super strong men and women who are taught to be masters of technology and masters of nature?

    You best make them exceedingly obedient to authority as well. Those who learn how to survive in nature are generally a danger to the powers that be should they decide to revolt against the leaders of your master race.

    The vast majority of all scientists in history and in the present had been religious. Your not going to win any friends over with rhetoric that tries to paint people of Faith as idiots, thats very arrogant of you.

    Does your "history" include the 20th century?

    How is anything about that "vast"?

    ** Cof ** The problem is that a powerful man in your ideal world may think you are a retard! True or not hee hee...if just one leader in your ideal world thinks you are a **** because he opines you have ignorant unsustainable ideas, guess what? You might get nutted, or mabye in addition to forced castration you might have your rights taken away, or even better (oops Freudian slip?) ...even worse, you may find yourself going into something marked shower, however the screams and other noises of death may make you think “oh man those nuts have the water too hot!” eh?

    I think you may be doing this as a ploy to get attention.

    Uh yes, super strong, super smart, masters of technology and nature is the plan. I am not afraid of my master race, they will be too smart to revolt because only idiots would revolt against a government that is a utopia like mine.

    I support Friedrich Nietzsche's idea of an Ubermensch.
