If you're not serious, you just made my day. If you're serious, you should seriously consider getting on back to the "General" forum and take a break from the 'Cooler. This was just a joke, my friend. Perhaps you need to find a different level of tranquility.

I even have a friend that recently quit volunteering for the Idaho Mountain Search and Rescue Team because he decided that he was messing with Darwin's theory. I too think we need more natural selection. _________________________ The opinions expressed here should not be construed to be those of my employer: PPDocs.com

I want to make certain I understand what is being advocated here. Are you suggesting that my hair dryer does not need a warning label telling me not to use it in the shower? That the instructions on the soup can do not need to say that I need open the can and pour the contents into a pan before I heat them on the stove? At one time my tag line said: Would somebody please add some chlorine to the gene pool? I changed it because someone I responded to was offended by it - they thought I was talking to them personally. Only now does it occur to me that perhaps I was. _________________________ In this world you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant. Well, for years I was smart. I recommend pleasant.

Gee Ken, maybe you do need labels. _________________________ Life is not the way it's supposed to be. It's the way it is. The way you cope with it is what makes the difference.

Now why on earth, would I need birth control pills if I was already pregnant????? _________________________ Get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please. - Mark Twain

Anonymous Unregistered	Anon, your right people are not perfect. Most people accept that. I think the point is that by regulating what should be common sense, we performing a dis-service to future generations by polluting the gene pool with idiots. Some people should not be allowed to reproduce.

Thus, the topic of our thread "The Problem with America." Combine moneygrubbing "ambulance chaser" lawyers with idiots (The coffee shouldn't have been hot when it hit my lap!!) and behold...the downfall of our civilization.
