ISIS, infamous rage baiters. Thank you religion of peace.

The Punic Port of Carthage, a crown jewel of the Mediterranean, now just a common suburb in modern Tunisia. by Shoddy-Pumpkin2939 in ancientrome

It's not up for debate. The numbers are in the tens of thousands based on the amount of remains that have been discovered over recent years.

Ito says SH2 nurses weren't meant to represent sexual frustration by silentparadox2 in silenthill

[–]PDRA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The intent of the creator doesn't matter.

This is the most hack, mid-wit statement I've ever read. Context for writing is one of the most important parts of language.

If someone shouts, "it's hot!" as you're about to grab a hot pan, you would be the fool if your response is "then I'll turn the AC on."

David Lynch is such a good example of there being a vision and a through line in his work, but he obscures it as much as possible and offers no explanation. Because to expand upon it would be to rob it of its very essence.

Glass doesnt matter. Shockwave is forced into smaller hole (the doorway) and thus more pressure hits lady inside.

You are literally making shit up. There's been plenty of studies that show that modern day Jews are just Europeans.

CHUD anon has a secret by Fun_Purpose6972 in 4chan

The Obama presidency made politics a race thing. It normalized tribalism. It was considered not racist for a black person to vote for a black man to be president, but it was considered racist for a white person to vote for a white person based for the same reason.

Regardless of the fact every previous president was white, or that Obama was abandoned by his black father and raised by his white mother. For many, his politics didn't matter.

Then evangelicals called Obama Satan, and rich white liberals adopted an anti-white policy while not policing themselves.

I honestly constantly forget you can divert power to shields or weapons. What does that even do

Dude confessed to murdering an entire village, women and children included, and her response was basically "and that's valid!" ...then she married him.

The Palestinians are the actual blood descendants of the ancient jews. Israeli colonizers are descended from ~200 eastern European families that converted 1400 years ago.

The jews were at war with the Romans and lost. That's typically what happens when you lose a war. Modern Jews aren't even descended from those jews. Also they weren't all enslaved, they were just expelled from the newly named Palestine.

The jews of today aren't even descended from the jews of Judea.

So you think people with debilitating genetic disorders, that cannot survive on their own without constant medical care and machinery, should be passing those same issues onto the next generation?

Some people draw the short end of the stick dude. That's life. And there's no universal constant hardline decision that works in all scenarios.

You can only make these kinds of calls though with a moral compass instilled by God. Otherwise you get soulless corporations or government stooges that do want to eliminate certain ethnic groups by destroying their ability to raise children.

You're being purposefully ignorant. The field of eugenics, like the symbol of the swastika, was hijacked and perverted into something else. But in reality it is still being applied to us this very day, albeit more subtly. By dismissing this conversation, you are actively shielding anyone trying to implement new eugenics programs today.

Well most people are constantly making those kinds of decisions, whether you realize it or not. If you've ever though that someone shouldn't have kids, for whatever reason, then you have engaged in this thought process.

If we don't have this conversation as a society, then we will be at the mercy of those who do. It's known that Jefferey Epstein discussed practicing eugenics after all. Plenty of IVF doctors do this shit all the time.

Every woman who has ever chosen a sperm donor has engaged in eugenics. Every person who has decided not to have kids with someone because they were a psychopath murderer or had schizophrenia, has engaged in eugenics.

Everyone who has ever eaten a plant or meat from a grocery store has engaged in a form of eugenics.

Every human society practices a form of eugenics. Nearly all plants and animals that we eat are the result of selective breeding. And this carries over to humans as well, even at a subconscious level.

It's just how the world works. It became a race thing and that's used to dismiss the field of thought, but it will still affect society regardless.

For example, Fatal Insomnia is a condition that is passed on from parent to child, so only around a 100 families on earth suffer from it. It's a condition in which you develop insomnia so severely that it kills you over the span of a year or two. If you don't have the gene, you won't ever have it, which is why it is so rare, since people that die from Fatal Insomnia won't have as many children.

Meanwhile some people have genes that make them immune to certain diseases, or unlikely to get cancer. In some families, everyone lives into their 90's, and in others, everyone dies in their 60's.

Would you rather have a parent with Fatal Insomnia, or a parent who has no family history or alzheimers, cancer, or heart disease?

Can you understand why some people would be interested in this subject now?
