You are also in favour of eugenics. If not, let me know.

Stop being naïve, stop playing the fool and stop deluding yourself and others.
Quit being an idiot, idiot. I am not for eugenics, but I am for viewing the topic in an objective light.

Arrogant and looking down on people as usual.

Never asked yourself why pro-abortion, pro-euthanasia and pro-eugenics liberals always are such damned arrogant and self-centered egotists ?

Trolling and being petty as usual.

Whenever you can actually entertain a topic "objectively", or even offer any sort of argument for your religious views, then let me know, hoe.

Are you ? Then why are you opposing those who are against it ? Why not oppose the marauder, for instance ? You cannot fool me. You will be in favour of it in due time if you're not in favour of it allready.

Within the scope of real existing liberalism there are no objections to be found against the policies of eugenics.

I never use religious arguments to support my views, genius. You should know this by now.

Answer the question: Are you in favour or against eugenics. If you have to think about it, I assure you will be in favour in due time.

Does this mean that being against the policy of eugenics is a "religious" view ?

I already said that I do not support (am not for) eugenics. What don't you understand about that?

I never use religious arguments to support my views

Well, that follows tautologically since you never use any arguments to support your views. You simply spout religious fiat -- one could hardly call that "argument".

[/b]Then why don't you provide the arguments against it and start a discussion with for instance the marauder about the issue ? ....... maybe I can learn from it. Or are you afraid I might use your arguments against eugenics in a follow up discussion ?

Because my contention and interest here, until you trolled in, is that Halitose is misrepresenting the article he cited. I haven't even been able to read all of the discussion between marauder and you/others. I was selectively responding to Halitose's post that was addressed explicitly to me (and also to one of LH's post that I think misrepresented the article as well). If I read through the remaining posts and feel compelled to add my thoughts, I will. That's going to have to be good enough for you right now, troll.

I will be waiting for your arguments against eugenics, genius .....

What say the Dawkinians?

Ivanhoe is not pro-thinking-for-oneself. He has the ultimate authority for what is and is not right.
Therefore, he has no need to entertain a topic in any fashion upon which the Church has already
given its decision.

I can't find it either. Halitose gave me the following link, but it only shows the same text in full that he posted in the first post:

Halitose, is this the full article?
