What does that mean? Objects in mirror are closer than they appear
It means that natural selection has essentially be removed as a driving force in human evolution. Therefore, since we're developing the capability, human evolution needs to be planned, directed, and controlled if it's to take place. The evolution of the human genome is too important to be left to chance.

No, the distinction that was made is a moral one.
So morality is going to stop people crossing the border? People are going to get to the fence and see the error of their ways? I think JCs point (and JC can feel free to correct me here) was that walls don't work, not that they are immoral.

Huh? no, walls will stop them at the border. JCs' point was it was imoral, just look at the Berlin wall. My distinction was they server diffrent purposes.

He made Both points. And I provided proof that walls can be effective, mabe not 100%, but then again, nothing is 100%. My mom told me once that "while we all don't speak the same language, everyone in the world undestands an asskicking"

I am not Mexican. I am not even dark skinned (maybe a little beach-tanned, at most). My point is that the political discourse of Stan, espeir, punkinhead and a part of the extremists is not about trying to solve a big problem; it is just the instintive reaction of "kick'em out". They think they can solve a problem with 12 million people the same way they would expulse 10 people. They don't think about the huge amount of logistical, political, economical and ethical complications. Since is just an instinctive reaction it is not reason. That's why facts don't matter. And to be honest, I can't even say I don't like what they say. I don't even dislike espeir, stan and etc. They are too far away from me to do me any harm. Actually I find them a little exotic, in a curious sense; like those exotic people in National Geographic Magazine. At a close look, no one is normal.

Again, where does race come in to play? Can you point to anything these people said that was racist? Maybe you disagree with them, but calling them racist makes it look like you are just attacking them because you disagree with them. And it's just plain wrong.
