i think i have done well by the world. i am honest, caring & work to try & be everything they were not. my career involved environmental issues & law enforcement..currently i am involved in animal rescue. i fight for children's rights.
so if i read the posts correctly because my parents were poor & lacked education you feel i should not have been born? really? even my brother who is a jerk (for the lack of a more offensive & certainly to be censored word) is a vet who went to a gov't military academy) & served his country.
just because someone lacks formal education & income does not make them demon spawn...it makes them poor & ill educated. both conditions which can be rectified. there are plenty of parents who are wealthy & educated whose children are world class felons & bastards.
as far as eugenics, the us used it during the heydey of immigration. go back thru the period of ellis island. read thru the records...each ethnic group that was frowned upon was done do by eugenics...there were plenty of noted based upon "sloped foreheads, brows, etc leading to stupidity etc" these were the characteristics inspectors used during those quick once over exams.
i personally would rue the day when i am living in a nation that forces sterilzation upon it's citizens in an effort to produce a more "healthy" (read perfect) population. that was tried once before and i can think of over one group where 6 million people lost their lives.
