I can't.................it's just too easy.

The world will always need servants and cattle. If there aren't any losers then how will the winners know how innately awesome and terrific they are? Zero-sum outcomes, baby. Now that's the way you run a society!

[raydan]

Are these kids poor because they have smaller brains or do they have smaller brains because they're poor?

[Thanos]

Either or. Doesn't matter anyway because they're not going to escape being damned.

[raydan]

Were the parents poor when they were young and do they have smaller brains too?

If it's hereditary, not much we can do... unless we stop them from having kids.

[Thanos]

Sad to say but that's probably the best suggestion for them. Not much point in having kids at all if their fate is merely to be the fodder for all the monsters out there.

Funny how so many people who champion and celebrate Darwinism are unable to emotionally handle it when they see it in action and not just as an abstract.

Scares me a bit when applied to humans today.

Positive evolution is when the species evolves in a way that makes it better adapted to the world around it. Right now, I'd say that we have negative evolution.

Is it considered Darwinism when the very heart of right-wing anarcho/libertarian economic theory openly considers anyone who isn't wealthy as entire expendable, disposable, deserve of no respect whatsoever, and not worthy of any protection under the law? How's that 'the world will always need ditch diggers' kind of philosophy working out now that it controls the entire upper level of the world's (allegedly) greatest democracy? When that kind of thing gets uttered out loud is it actually an admission of social Darwinism, or is that merely the people who always win letting slip that the world is working entirely well to the plan they want and that the system isn't broken at all but actually performing well within the parameters it's always been operating to?

Just bring back slavery for the worthless proles already. It'd be a million times more honest that the 'anyone can do it!' bullshit that has every loser in the world still thinking he'll end up with a house in the Hamptons some day.

Care to explain how smaller brains would make kids poor? Not able to get out there and get those high paying CEO jobs?

You're projecting a long-established liberal value onto conservatives. I celebrate social mobility and the opportunity that is inherent in America for people born into poverty to make economic success for themselves. I've done it.

The liberals have long eschewed this idea and celebrated liberal Woodrow Wilson ever-so-clearly stated this:

Woodrow Wilson Woodrow Wilson:

We want one class of persons to have a liberal education, and we want another class of persons, a very much larger class of necessity in every society, to forgo the privilege of a liberal education and fit themselves to perform specific difficult manual tasks.

If your brain was bigger, you'd figure it out.

Zat's vy zey are poor, Dr. Mengele.

They took their brains out and weighed them?
