Modern society is doomed because we have taken Darwinism out of society.

In the old  days, stupid people died off through various ways (like using their hair dryer while in the bathtub).  Liberals saw this as an alarming erotion of their voting block so laws were created to help keep stupid alive past their normal life span.  This has resulted in an unprecedented increase in the number of stupid people who are procreating and spreading their genes thus making modern society unviable in the long run.  We need to put Darwinism back into our society and allow stupid people to die off in order to save our society.

Your debates are ridiculous as usual. Society has always attempted to keep the weak and dying alive, and with modern medicine we have been successfully able to do this. This places a greater burden on the working fit. I fail to see what this has to do with liberalism. Do conservatives not support modern medicine? Or do they just use it more selectively now? Perhaps this is why they are against universal health-care. They want to weed out the weak?

People who have children at very young ages, usually aren't all that smart, and so "killing them off" doesn't really do anything since they've already passed on their genes.

I don't know how you would substantiate the claim, that liberals are "dumber". Do you have any evidence of this? Or is it purely based on the fact that they disagree with you?

Side: Wait...., what...., no!!!

I fail to see what this has to do with liberalism.

I read this article about how Russian scientists were able to domesticate (I forget which species) different species of animals in just a few generations. They then noticed that the domesticated individuals were dumber than their wild counter parts.

Similarly, liberals that depend on government handouts are not as bright as individuals that take care of themselves. ;)

History is the survival of the fittest. So when a society coddles people who fail and condemns success, the society as a whole will fail.

Side: True

Government passes laws because in general, people are stupid, so in order to compensate their stupidity, many liberals feel the urge in order to prevent needless death, government needs to pass laws to protect these idiots. Society places way to much value on life.

At least one of your examples shows precisely the opposite. Most drinking laws were created by conservatives.

Well of course the "lower classes" are not as intelligent. Throughout most of history only the rich could receive a proper education, even today the rich still receive higher quality education.

Intelligence is separate from education. An idiot in a private scgool will not achieve as highly as a genius in public school.

Most of what we perceive as "intelligence" is actually just crystallized knowledge rather than potential to learn. It is much easier to judge how much a person knows, than to judge their propensity towards learning. I have no doubt that a lot of people would be much more intelligent if they received proper education.

Side: True

I think there is a lot of money to be made in servicing a vast, consumerist underclass composed entirely of idiots. Taking there money in return for technological advances which add some measure of meaning to their lives is sure to improve mine.

Besides, I like having useless pizza delivery boys in society. It saves me having to leave my study and walk to Domino's. They could also take the strain off of education systems. Just make idiot schools where idiots are taught to use simple phrases such as "Would you like fries with that?".

The lower classes have always been idiots. The only difference is that today we have stopped calling them peasants and have foolishly given them rights. They should be reunited with their turnips.

The Banking fraternity has crippled half the world - wow, they are so clever !!!

the "intelligent" ???? middle classes will be paying for it without any active protesting. (Brainy lot these middle classes) Darwinism did not stop an idiot such as Bush GW becoming your president. He even fiddled the vote and the "greatest democracy on earth" ? allowed him to get away with it. Of course i blame the Pizza delivery boys - their impact on the political will of the people is tremendous.

Irrelevant to the debate.

You obviously don't get out much.

Brainy lot these middle classes

Yes, which is why they live in nice, spacious houses whilst the lower classes, who failed miserably at school, dwell in their necessity: washing the middle classes' cars.

Darwinism did not stop an idiot such as Bush GW becoming your president.

Hello: Churchill. I'm not American you idiot.

He even fiddled the vote and the "greatest democracy on earth" ? allowed him to get away with it.

Americans are idiots.

Of course i blame the Pizza delivery boys - their impact on the political will of the people is tremendous.

Yeah, but they deliver pizza right to your doorstep. Of course, you probably live above a fast food restaurant, so you don't have such a problem...

Average IQ has risen steadily over the last hundred years. Therefore Joe's argument is bunk.

Absurd. Darwinism is still presnt in society, only that it does not involved actual death.
