Somebody mentioned Darwinism...

So let's just remove warning labels off all products and let nature run its course.

And ban driver airbags & seat belts - and fit a large sharp spike to the middle of the steering wheel. The casualties in the first months will be horrific, but the accident rate will plummet after that. And the average IQ will rise dramatically. :-D

Of course that also assumes we muzzle lawyers.

Their cars get even bigger spikes, hi-ex on all four corners and the brakes disabled ... :-D

...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.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.
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.

I was only in Norway for a day. I saw Rammstein. I loved it all

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.

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.

"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: :(

didn't you want to say clorhidric acid?

I think you meant "Chloric acid", and no, the gene pool can do quite well without it. :)

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

Not sure. In Spanish we have "ácido clórico" (HClO3) and "ácido Clorhídrico" (HCl) I meant the second one. If I got the translation wrong, then I stand corrected.

I was wrong, too. In English, HCl is _Hydro_chloric Acid. :-O HClO3 is Chloric Acid.

Not to worry . . . Chloric acid is extremely unstable and will likely blow the owner to itty bitty pieces almost immediately. It's sister, Perchloric acid (HCLO4 is stable enough to keep in bottles - also highly explosive on its own. Something I've actually worked with. It makes an insoluble potassium salt (rather rare) and is a very strong oxidizing acid - used to "fume" things, i.e., break them down chemically by boiling them in the acid. If something organic falls in during this process, well, it tends to crumble things when it goes off with astounding violence. Salts of both of these are common fireworks ingredients. Shock sensitive, although you usually need a hammer (unless mixed with red phosphorus as in matches). Hydrochloric acid (HCL)? Who's got a stomach to handle that? Actually, all of us - diluted quite a bit it's the acid in your stomach used for digestion. Concentrated (=37% 12.0 molar) is how it's sold. One of the strongest acids known - but I'm sorry to say it doesn't work like acid in the movies. Not at all. Acid strength is based upon degree of ionization in solution and this stuff is about 100% ionized. Way more than you need to know but it brought back my very early youth, when I used to make my own fireworks.

Those are fascists
Actually, just morons looking for someone else to blame their failure upon. As their deity would describe them: Losers! But really, who else would losers follow, and who else would depend upon losers for a following? See, the world is amazingly orderly in its design.

Interesting. I did a check in google and my version was identified / suggested in the search bar, I supposed it was right. Clicking on search, there is a high number of site titles with you option. But I found this: chlorhydric acid[^] Looks like "Hydrochloric acid" is the official name (and the most extended one) but "chlorhydric acid" (I wrote it wrongly in the previous message) is accepted as a synonym too.

For humans, as a group, only intelligence allowed the group to survive. We lack fangs. We lack claws. We cannot run very fast. Basically, an easy meal and the carnivore's don't even get much hair stuck in their teeth. Until the clever one figured out how to pick up a stick and sharpen the ends . . .
