    Darwinism does not work any more. It's predicated on the weak dying but in a civilised society, that does not happen

      ...in a recent reply to a post. The only problem I have with Darwinism is that it doesn't work fast enough so we are stuck with millions of idiots we can't get rid of! Note: This post may seem to be political (and therefore verboten) but it isn't meant to be; just a sad reflection on the human race today.

        Well, sure, society has become increasingly shit. But the underlying principles that stop darwinism are still intact.

                                Isn't there a Peanuts strip where Snoopy sits on top of his doghouse waiting for his dogfood, reading Survival of the fattest? In the Norwegian version, he is reading "Sult" by "Knut Hamshund". You won't get that without being familiar with Norwegian culture.

                                    Aahhh! The joy you feel when wishing death upon millions of people. Everyone responding is so sure that when you chlorinate the gene pool they will of course not be affected by that chlorine. And they are also certain that they are better than average drivers. As for accusing 74 million people of being fascists - you better hope you are wrong. But if you want to characterize your political opponents of being worthy of death - don't be surprised when the dying starts... :sigh: X| X| X| :doh:

                                    If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.

                                        Aahhh! The joy you feel when wishing death upon millions of people. Everyone responding is so sure that when you chlorinate the gene pool they will of course not be affected by that chlorine. And they are also certain that they are better than average drivers. As for accusing 74 million people of being fascists - you better hope you are wrong. But if you want to characterize your political opponents of being worthy of death - don't be surprised when the dying starts... :sigh: X| X| X| :doh:

                                        I am going to answer to the parts of your post that points to things I said and you comment about it.

                                        Correction... I am not whishing the death of anyone. I only expect them to get what they search for. I know real people that shouted "it is all a hoax" really loud, wore no mask, didn't reduced contacts, etc... then they got the virus (some of them even spreaded it into family and friends that not necessarily share their convictions). Then they had the damn luck to get to the hospital a bit before they got full. They were / are now occuping beds that were / are being denied to people that has been trying to comply and to be careful, reducing contacts and so on, but still got infected, two of them (elder people friends of my family) died. Sorry but... in that case, they are the ones that deserve to get through the illnes solo at home and not puting more people in risk just because their idiocy. If they survive... I will be happy about it and hope they learnt the lesson. If they don't... I won't be happy, but I won't be sad either.

                                        Correction again: If it affects me, I will accept it. As the world is going, it wouldn't surprise me if we trigger something that drastically decimates our population. And seeing how the world is going... if it really happens, we will deserve it. I only hope the following generations have a chance to survive and they learn about our errors.

                                        M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

                                          ...in a recent reply to a post. The only problem I have with Darwinism is that it doesn't work fast enough so we are stuck with millions of idiots we can't get rid of! Note: This post may seem to be political (and therefore verboten) but it isn't meant to be; just a sad reflection on the human race today.

                                          "Survival of the Fittest" does not mean survival of those {you | we | they} consider fittest. It means that those who survive are, by definition, considered the fittest. There is no evidence, as yet, that intelligence has a long-term survival benefit. :sigh: :(
