  Watched this on the news earlier. Ahh well if they will take performance enhancing drugs they can't expect for it to not be found out. You would think they would realise that through all the tests they have to have done that the drugs they take will be detected at some point.
  
  Ahhh, good thing I'm not much into sport then isn't it, I wonder when ice skating will get hit!

  oscar has a habit of curling up next to patients at the home in providence, rhode island, in their final hours.

  according to the author of a study in the new england journal of medicine, the two-year-old cat has been observed to be correct in 25 cases so far.

  I heard about this from my brother a few minutes ago, he messaged me saying something about psychic cats on the BBC news and how that had put him off watching the news on the BBC for life. I can understand really, for that to be a main news story when there is so much more to cover is appauling.
  
  But at the same time I find the story interesting, after all cats and dogs are suppose to be able to see that they are ill and might die, so I can see why they might be able to tell that a human will die also.
  
  But as a main news story this is pretty pathetic, at least I think so :P!

  I got my copy at 9 in the morning on saturday, buy post of course :P, and finished it at 7 in the evening on saturday... with breaks inbetween as well, think I did pretty good. :D loved the book, I think the last chapter was sweet, although felt sad because of some of the people who died, but the last chapter finished it nicely. :)

  :) thank you, I've learnt a lot over the years, and one being that most people are rather cruel. Best not to take things too seriously. *hugs rosie* thank you. :)
  
  Thats funny really John Doe, Part of the Eugenics movement consisted of sterilisation of individuals who were 'not seen as fit for breeding' ... ie: those who were not earning money or who were seen as 'bad' stock.
  
  Wow aren't dictionarys brilliant, but it doesn't tell you what the eugenics movement in America and Germany consisted of, oh what a pity, you need an encylopedia for that I'm afraid. You have not demonstrated that you are not suggesting eugenics:
  
  You Said "What it has to do with is preventing having more kids the state has to take care of."
  
  As shown in an article on Wikipedia, eugenics was used "to save society's resources" and also "Historically, eugenics has been used as a justification for coercive state-sponsored discrimination and human rights violations, such as forced sterilization of persons who are claimed to have genetic defects, the killing of the institutionalized population and, in some cases, outright genocide of races perceived as inferior or undesirable." Now that shows that what you are referring to is classed as eugenics.
  
  Now you may want to dismiss what I have said, but what I have said seems to say more than your little clip of a dictionary. My education is perfectly good, I went to an English University, but if I told you where it wouldn't be right as it happens to be in my home town which I choose to keep secret for the benefit of myself as well as others. Of course its normal to want to defend yourself when someone suggests what you have said relates to eugenics :).
  
  Well having lived in and been brought up in a family who had very little money I know it costs as little as £100 a week to feed, and pay the bills of a family of five, yes of five, you don't need to spend loads on fancy holidays and such.
  
  Its a good thing I'm not easierly wounded by the things people say otherwise I might feel a little more than annoyed right now, but hey its funny how you learn to drown out other peoples arrogant put downs.
  
  I still say that this family are better off living on benefits, it is not in their interest to have a job as this does not pay well enough for the entire family to be looked after, firstly considering they would have to pay rent if not on benefits, then for food, then bills such as water, electric etc, and finally for clothing, this wouldn't work out considering he was only earning £300 a week. Imagine how much a weekly food bill would cost. That doesn't mean I think they are right in not working, it just means I can see why they don't. If you were in the same situation you wouldn't either.
  
  I wouldn't expect people who are arrogant and self obsessed to understand what another person thinks, thats what a person who has a heart does, someone who cares about caring for others. The majority of the people in the world think badly of those who take benefits, I know, and I can see why you might think like that. I don't see how making out another person is unintelligent is a good argument, it just shows that you are unwilling to debate a point in a reasonable manner.
  
  Its only a pity that the government is unable to provide work programs for those who are out of work, do you think that might solve the problem, make you feel a little better about them receiving tax payers money? Its not the fault of the people who take advantage of the system, its the fault of the system.

  If I remember righty, eugenics consisted partly of the sterilisation of those who were considered to be undesirable breeders, so yes suggesting sterilisation of 'people on benefit' (ie: undesirable breeders) is an encouragement of eugenics.
  
  As a Psychology graduate I know a lot about debating, arguing a point, and discussing topics, I spent three years doing so. It had to be done and still does :).
  
  I don't see what I said being a fallacy, so no, what I've said is not a fallacious argument, what I've said is actually fact based generally, although I know that America and the UK in turn had their own eugenics programs, the only Eugenics program which was comparable with that of the Nazis was the American one. I remember covering this several times during my History classes when I was at college before I attended university.
  
  Whereas Gun control is something that has a lot more support than the whole idea of sterilisation.

  I think gun control is a little different to taking someone fertility away perminately.
  
  One may prevent guns from being part of the general public, and the other prevents a person having a child ever. Lots of people have supported gun control, but fewer people advocate eugenics!

  I'm not a capitalist, I see money as being more trouble than it is really worth, I'm more inclining towards socialism.
  
  I know what capitalists stand for one thing gaining profit from others :), its just how they are, I expect no less or more from them :)!

  I think you are right Outlaw, after all being brought up underneath the poverty line seems to breed criminal minds, at least the children may grow up and see the value of work.

  Really your comment is not worth responding to, the whole idea is reministant of the idea behind eugenics, the idea which fueled the Nazi Empire. No I don't think such a comment is even worthy of a response.
