What the fuck, how can someone be THAT drunk and not already passed out? He looked like a zombie.

Well if I was badly allergic to a food, I would choose a meal with plentiful quanitities. Just to deny the victims the satisfaction of seeing me die.

Tobacco is nasty, I only smoke weed. and rarely at that. Tobacco not only fucks up your lungs, it turns your teeth yellow and does all sorts of nasty things...

You'll get over it, it isn't so bad. I kinda wished that was all I had, but I learned that I had a nasty Kidney infection instead . I still don't know how I got it.

You guys are thinking too deeply, just take it at face value and don't go too deep with it. Basically just a yes or no question to test how a person thinks, and if they are selfish. It doesn't have to be possible.

I should say close relatives, like 2nd cousin or greater to clarify...

If you know him well.

If you could have guaranteed eternal happiness for you and your loved ones, but at the cost of sending everyone else to eternal damnation what would you do? You would not remember making the decision after you did it, so you would feel no guilt in this hypothetical. In fact, you would not miss everyone else since your loved ones would be there with you, and you would not even know anyone else existed. You would be living eternal paradise and everyone else that you did not know would be suffering eternally, but you would be completely unaware of it. Loved ones include family, friends, lovers... people you do not know or are acquaintances do not count. What decision would you make?

Yes, in my opinion that's how it should be, and frankly how it is in most places. Its actually not the parent(s) that decide, it is the mother specifically. 90% of down syndrome cases actually end in termination. Now the debate turns to pro-choice vs pro-life.

Lux you see, you have to figure who would decide if the being is fit to live or not? Would it be the government? The parents? Private companies? Our new supreme galactic overlords? Giving anyone power such as that would be extremely dangerous to our freedoms in general as they would have control over peoples baby's very life and death. Sure, removing some human "waste" may benefit society, but what is the cost and who will decide what waste to keep and what waste to dispose of?

Yes, genetic testing is very accurate but how would you implement it? Would you force every single person to get genetic testing for their children, then force abort the "defective" children? What level of defect would be the "line" that you'd abort at? Would it just be retardation? What if the child had a sound mind but had severe physical problems that would cause him to be a "burden on society"? Drug addicts having kids is bad yes, but really unpreventable at this point in time. The best we can get is taking the kids away from those abusive environments... And my point of the injuries was that even if you tried to breed out defects there would always be plenty left due to other factors... There is no quick and easy solution to these problems. I never saw Gattaca actually. And maybe I went a bit too far with that, but if you strive for genetic "perfection" than anyone who doesn't meet the perfection will not fit in with society. Striving for genetic perfection leads to a dangerous road in my opinion. And I have never seen full on down syndrome kids in a class with regular kids. The most I have seen is them eating in the same cafeteria but they usually go to their own special needs classes.... Well I don't know as much about the law as you of course but I thought certain criteria had to be met before taking the child away. If the parents cannot provide adequate care for the disabled child then it can be taken, correct? This is a good thing if it would be in the childs better interest because often times the parents don't have the resources to take care of a severely disabled child... That isn't the same thing as forcibly removing the children from life itself though. Won't the state usually strive to keep the child in the parents hands if at all possible? I actually agree with you about the severely disabled. If the child will not be able to live or be able to enjoy any quality of life, it should be mercifully killed. It would be ridiculous to keep a baby without a brain alive for instance. Children like this should be either euthanized or taken off life support. But that is a different topic dealing with the legality of euthanasia.. Ok, why did we eradicate smallpox then, and malaria from our nation? If a cure for these horrible diseases can be found it would save tons of medical costs and pain for the people that would unduly suffer. Stopping the diseases entirely is the best option. I don't even understand why someone would oppose these cures other than the companies that directly profit from the diseases... About population control, poverty and disease are what cause people to have more kids in the first place. If only 1 in 10 people survive past 50, instead of having 3 kids they might have 10 kids just so they can improve their chances of having long living children. Diseases, poverty and suffering contribute more to the population spiraling out of control than stopping the diseases. People will compensate. Education about birth control and improvement of quality of life is a better option for many of these poor peoples. improvement of quality of life and education are much better for stopping the out of control populations than the letting the diseases run their course.. And about the cancer thing... I never said a cure was possible, I said hypothetically if there was a cure or a way to slow down the cancer enough for it to the negligible, then we should definitely implement it. Also, survival rates for most cancers have dramatically increased by way of better treatments. Maybe a complete cure isn't possible, but we can get a whole of a lot better than what we have now..

You try to put a value on human life and only bad things can come about in my opinion. "Breeding out retards" would be impossible because not only genes lead to mental deficiency. Many things cause it, and it is not only genetics. Injuries, drugs, environment and even just fucked up births all contribute. And who would decide how to breed them out, and how would it be accomplished? Would people be forcibly sterilized if they did not meet certain criteria? Normal IQ parents can have retarded children as well. How would you prevent that from happening? How far would it go. Once the superhumans are being bred then a new class of mentally deficients would be created, people like us. We would be considered inferior and then considered a burden on society. People like we are currently would eventually be considered to be of little use to the society. Also, our society being free would put a damper on the plan to eradicate mentally ill children before they are born. If you allow the government to decide what children should exist, then you are giving them immense power over us. It would be fascism, but almost worse because they are controlling who we are at the core. Also when would it end? If your baby(fetus) has physical and slight mental handicaps, yet the government deemed them too profound to allow it to live and ordered it to be terminated, how would you feel? There is something beyond a humans use to society, it is the ability of the human as an individual to be loved and to love. That core human trait has no value. I am not religious, but the things some of you are spouting are just morally wrong. This is the line of thinking that caused millions of people to be systemetically destroyed. The government decided that doing that was best for the country. No, we need compassion for life in all its forms, and not just based on use for society or we go down a dangerous road that leads to hate and tyranny. Also, I do not completely understand your second point. How would a cure for cancer have no benefit? The cost of treatment and the alleviation of the pain and suffering of the individuals is not benefit enough? AIDS is bad, and it can be prevented. It doesn't mean a cure should not be sought. Anything that can end the suffering should be sought. Prevention is not the only answer. I agree with the abortion thing in certain cases, but it would be impossible to be able to enforce abortions in a free society. It is ultimately the parents decision to keep a child and raise it no matter the handicap. Sure it may cost our health care system money, but there is no way to morally enforce abortions.

Hmm, hard to say since I don't play much more than scrims and listing my whole team would be unfair... Xeno Mercy (Lol rage) Jacen Yoda even though he failz umm .... Beth

Sorry Church.

He's taking whatever punishment they deem fit to give him. Is that not enough? Most people would probably whine and rage about a ban like this but he is taking it like a man. He was a good admin imo, so I don't think loss of it is necessary.

Cool, thats always something I wanted to do even though I live near a big city. I actually want to learn how to use a bow, and hunt with that when I have the time. GL, I hope you bag a 10 pointer!

Cmon Xeno, we all do bad stuff. To own up to it and have remorse is a quality I admire, because I myself do not have that quality in most circumstances. I could justify murder if I needed to. And sometimes, we must look at ourselves before we are so willing to persecute others for there actions. You can not improve yourself unless you make mistakes.

26. Google is actually the common name for a number with a million zeros. False, its actually spelled Googol and it is 10^100 or 1 with 100 zeros. 2. If you stop getting thirsty, you need to drink more water. For when a human body is dehydrated, its thirst mechanism shuts off. If you are thirsty, you are technically already dehydrated. And that is just stupid because if you kept drinking water while not thirsty your stomach would burst.

Liar, only goes up to 140+. Look at the chart at the first post to get your real score. Edit oh shit didnt even see there were two tests there. The one I meant was the red start button at the bottom of the page.

WTF are you talking about? The test is only about shapes and patterns.

I know most internet IQ tests are bullshit, but this one had some pretty good pattern recognition questions and seemed to be fairly accurate. Make sure to check the score that is given once it gives the date of birth, and then skip the promotions to look at the chart to see how you compare. http://www.quickiqtest.net/ I scored 15, which when compared on the chart gives me an IQ of about 130. 20 Genius 140+ You are probably a genius. 16 - 19 Gifted 130 - 139 You have a unique imagination and logical mind. 10 - 15 Above average 115 - 129 You have a good imagination and logical mind. 6 - 9 Higher average 102 - 114 You have an average imagination and logical mind. 3 - 5 Lower average 90 - 101 0 - 2 Below average 70 - 89 You have a below average imagination and logical mind. Thats the chart so you dont have to click the ads

Ambulancia.

That's what you fucking get Bubbles.

Sorry Tucker, it's past your bedtime.
