    Yes, this is probably the most posted forum I post in. I love to argue! If you have any ideas for debates, pm me :)

    I don't think it's really necessary to PM you debate ideas; you come up with quite a lot by yourself!

    Merrier. And that's never happened to me; I don't think I've ever made more than 10 posts in a day yet. (Or somewhere around there.)

    And, apparently I may embed only 3 quotes within each other.

    I haven't taken biology yet, so I'm now lost in the conversation.

    What are eugenics? Or is this the sort of thing that I ought to just look up on wikipedia myself?

    It's the concept of controlled human evolution.

    Well, they were just discussing how they learned about it in Biology, and by my school district, I'll be taking Honors Biology next year...

    In my district, it's 10th grade. I don't know about others, though.

    Well, trying to relate this back to the main topic..
    Do you think some races will (and/or do) have easier times learning eugenics? :)
    Why or why not?

    -Do you believe in Elitism?

    I am elitism personified :p


    -Why or why not?

    I have no idea why I think like I do :/
    It's like a one way street .. when ever I'm good at something, I become an elitist. But if I'm terrible at something, I just give up because I can't ridicule those who are worse. Good fun


    -Do you think that some cultures are made to be good at some traits than others because of their surroundings?

    Do you mean like those of African descent having an extra ligament in their leg (or so I've been told)?
    If so, yes.

    Funny enough I read that book too, and after thinking about it a second...
    Yes there are differences... But it doesn't make one culture better then another one it is just that one "race" is better at certain things then others, because of something like language...
