Sadly based on what ive seen in the united states the parents in this episode may even be dumber than they are portrayed. For example there are people in this country that want the government to stay out of their medicare which is government run. They get food stamps and think they are entitled to it yet at the same time want to abolish all government run social programs without realizing that food stamps are a government run program or if they know they think rich people will pick up the slack because they believe what Fox says.Aureliano said:Oh come on guys. Clearly people who weren't quite intelligent enough to figure out how to wrap a banana in an overcoat must be smart enough to raise a kid. Right?
In spite of the lead-in I was absolutely not ready for the parents to be that fantastically dumb and stubborn about being dumb. Excellent episode.
Yeah, that's what you'd think, until the kids pass laws mandating euthanasia for people over 25 because they are a drain on their efficient society.Waaghpowa said:Educated, politically aware AND health conscious children? Is this a vision of a utopia? I want to live there.
I'd settle for educated, politically aware and health conscious adults....Waaghpowa said:Educated, politically aware AND health conscious children? Is this a vision of a utopia? I want to live there.
Yeah, Logan's Run isn't a proper vision of the future, just saying. And if the most efficient society is the one where people over 25 must die (it won't be, but let's say it is), and with efficient meaning = The one with the most people living decent, happy, fullfilled lives, then what's wrong with it?Aardvaarkman said:Yeah, that's what you'd think, until the kids pass laws mandating euthanasia for people over 25 because they are a drain on their efficient society.Waaghpowa said:Educated, politically aware AND health conscious children?
