Yes, eugenics is the natural outcome of evolutionary theory in the hands of doctors.</strong>
With all due respect, DNAunion, I hope you're joking here. Natural selection has nothing to do with what a given animal 'deserves'. The reason we have doctors and veteranarians in the first place is because we don't want ourselves, our loved ones, or our pets, to fall victim to natural selection.

However, if you have a list of doctors who believe in natural selection as a moral system, please post it so we'll know which ones to avoid. And if it's not too much trouble, foward it to the AMA, would you? I'm sure they'd like that.

Thanx heaps,

Grady

DNAunion,

Only the theory of the blind pig finding an acorn can explain that you have made an observation worth reading.

Robert Proctor's book Racial Hygiene: Medicine Under the Nazis 1988:Harvard University Press,

overwhelmingly makes the argument that the German medical profession, as opposed to the "Darwinian conspiracy" you creationists are so fond of, was the proginator of the Holocaust.

What? Katerina? The Lone Ranger isn't making proper use of 'teaching moments' if he fails to debate creationists?

Get with it, Michael, and btw why stop there?
You've got all the time in the world, plus, we know how easy it is to convince people to abandon their flaky beliefs. Tell them the truth about transubstantiation, stigmata, glossolalia, voodoo, reincarnation, exorcism, ESP, auras, telepathy, astral projections, lycanthropy, Jonathan Edwards, and Ramtha. Tell everyone why they shouldn't believe in resurrections or virgin births or abduction/rapes by aliens. Set them straight!

Or hmmm maybe there aren't enough ‘teaching moments' in the day?

DNAunion: Musch sarcasm coarses through my veins, and sometimes spills over into my posts. It was a side-reversed retelling of Typhon's post: the two versions made about as much sense.

DNAunion: Interesting how you managed to work the words "blind pig" and a reference to a nut into your sentence about me. Are you sure that is the ONLY "theory" you could have drawn upon?

DNAunion: Who mentioned the Holocaust or Nazis here? Not me: you did Dr. GH.

Note that the reasons I gave for not "deserving to live" where medical reasons: less fit individuals -humans AND DOGS - due to physical defects. I said nothing about people being less fit because of their race, ethnicity, religion, or beliefs.

And surely someone as knowledgable about eugenics as you knows that eugenics was practiced in the United States in the early 1900s, don't you? Eugenics does not have to be tied to Nazis and the Holocaust (although you do try to make it so here for your own gain).

By the way, if I am a creationist as you claim, and everything creationists say about evolution is a lie as you guys claim, then since I believe in evolution and say that evolution is a fact, then you have just condemned evolution to being a lie. Nice going Dr. GH!!!!! LOL!!!

I've been away from the board awhile, but I can honestly say that I haven't seen anyone post such a bunch of non-sensical horseshit as DNAUnion since randman graced us with his presence.

Quit wasting bandwidth DNAUnion and make a goddamned point.

DNAunion: Okay moderators, please explain to me how pseudobug is not being a jerk? Please explain to me how his obviously derogatory and fould mouthed jabs - aimed at me specifically - are in line with the board rules you posted for me to review?

DNAunion: Do you even know what bandwidth is? Shouldn't you be talking about disk space on the server or something along those lines?

Hold on, as my last post of the night, I am going to do something dastardly. I am about to send my reply. When I hit the send button, I am going to gobble up so much bandwidth that the whole internet is going to crash. Everyone ready? Okay, here goes.....CLICK!

Okay, so you're not a creationist. What are you? I mean, I know the question isn't strictly relevant to this thread - but you've (deliberately or inadvertently) given me the impression that you disagree with evolution on this and other threads. The most I've been able to discover from your posts on II is that you have some sort of belief in Design.

No requirement to respond, of course. Just curious.
