I measure intelligence by common sense, as I know people who did really well in school but are still some of the stupidest people I know. As such, I say educate rather then kill. Educate them in common sense, that is.
Hehe, this is true. And on top - stupidity is relative.Sampler said:Right - and once we've killed all the dumb people who's going to do the shit jobs like pick-up the trash, serve me at McDonalds and dance around a strip pole?
The world needs dumb people as smart people wouldn't do that shit.
Thereby I have found folly with your wisdom, proving you are not as smart as believe you are and therefore must kill yourself with the dumb people![]()
The challenge there is in defining common sense. A lot of what seems common sense to me might not for you.PhunkyPhazon said:I measure intelligence by common sense, as I know people who did really well in school but are still some of the stupidest people I know.

(Obviously this would be done after a certain point in their lives where their intelligence could be reliably determined.) Just prevent em from reproducing, and not only will we reduce the amounts of stupidity that is so rampant in our world- we'll also have likely solved the overpopulation problem! Given that those without brains are usually the ones having unprotected sex.
You would kill everyone on earth if you did that.captain_typo said:I vote a big red button marked, "if you press this button I'll give you a piece of candy" that kills whoever presses it.
Heh, I love xkcd. I don't know if you realize, but not every smart person is ugly. Besides, I'm only talking about sterilizing people who are one step up from retardation and below.SimuLord said:[image src="http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/idiocracy.png"]Skooterz said:Sterilization of people who are below a certain IQ level.

Or, put another way, "just who the fuck put you in charge and what makes you the arbiter of free citizens' lives?" Perhaps you should familiarize yourself with Aktion T4.SimuLord said:"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, and that they are endowed with their Creator with certain inalienable rights; and among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."
So your rights end where theirs begin, and depriving anyone of their "life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness" because you happen to think they're stupid is absolutely reprehensible and you should all go sit in the corner with dunce caps on for being even dumber than those you condemn.
