The purpose of the criminal justice system should be to get criminals off the street, keep them off, and prevent them from spreading their crime genes. The emphasis should be on the frequent use of capital punishment, and on long prison sentences at hard labor, enforced by the whip. Criminals are worthless, useless, and dangerous. Society would be better off if they never had been born. They should be treated with the most exquisite cruelty. Civilization breeds civilized people because the criminal justice system of a civilized country removes those with criminal inclinations from the gene pool. ---

No. More likely he’s just a pathetic basement-dweller who can’t handle that society doesn’t think he’s as “special” as he thought he was. You’ll notice how he loves quoting Rushton and trumpeted Rushton as a great scientist until it was pointed out that Rushton thinks white men have really small penises which caused him to suddenly argue that Rushton ideas on that shouldn’t be trusted and then he hurriedly typed out a post insisting that “heterosexual women” didn’t really care about how small a man’s penis was. The whole thing was quite revealing. ---

Rushton has said, “You can have a large penis, or a large brain. You can’t have both.” He says that large penises correlate with having illegitimate children, while large brains correlate with superior intelligence. ---

You are a fool who cannot discuss a controversial topic without responding like a vulgar thug. * * * It is reported in the scientific literature that there are some genes which are responsible for aggression in living beings. Moreover, some mutations into some of the normal genes make an individual more aggressive and s/he has and increased tendency to commit a crime. The entire human genome has been sequenced almost a decade ago but it represents a “normal” human. With the lowering cost of the technology to sequence, we can undertake the project to sequence the genomes of, for example, serial killers or other hardened criminals. Once we have sufficient number of genomes sequenced, we will have some meaningful data to play with… Eugenics practice to threaten the lives of individuals with certain genetic makeup is another issue needed to be considered. But for the benefit of the affected individuals; the accused, the victim and the society in general, it must be utilized to its fullest. After all, **the safety of the society is more important than the privacy of a few individuals.** The writer is a PhD Research Scholar at Forensic DNA Lab, Centre of Excellence in Molecular Biology Lahore.

And the writer NDD is abusing now does not agree with anyone using that research as justification to discriminate a group of people. I have seen that so many times that it is clear to me that there are no easy pickings for trash talkers like NDD. I already did check what people like the writer of “The Bell Curve” is doing nowadays, Charles Murray is not respected where it counts (being published is not the same as being respected) as even the Colbert Report showed, and he is a a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, now why is that so familiar? Ah yes: [http://thinkprogress.org/climate/2008/10/29/203268/the-american-enterprise-institute-still-crazy-with-denial-and-delay-after-all-these-years/](http://thinkprogress.org/climate/2008/10/29/203268/the-american-enterprise-institute-still-crazy-with-denial-and-delay-after-all-these-years/) > [@](#): > > Conservative think tanks remain oblivious and impervious to the facts. They cling to global warming denial and delay even in the face of the remarkable advances both in scientific understanding about global warming and in clean technology solutions. > > We have seen that the Cato Institute remains intellectually bankrupt on both the urgency of the climate problem and the availability of cost-effective solutions. The Competitive Enterprise Institute actually runs ad campaigns aimed at destroying the climate for centuries. > > Now Kenneth Green, resident scholar of the American Enterprise Institute, has weighed in with a speech Monday to the International Oxygen Manufacturers Association (!) betraying a willful ignorance of science and technology. > > On the technology front, he simply asserts with no evidence whatsoever that: > > > [@](#): > > > > No matter what you’ve been told, the technology to significantly reduce emissions is decades away and extremely costly. > > ClimateProgress readers know that statement is utterly false (see “An introduction to the core climate solutions“). As do all those who believe in science. The latest multi-year synthesis of the peer-reviewed literature by the world’s top scientists and technologists — signed off by every major government including the Bush Administration — says that we have the needed technology today or are in the process of commercializing it and that the economic cost of strong action will be at most 0.1% of GDP per year, far less than the cost of inaction (see “Absolute MUST Read IPCC Report: Debate over, further delay fatal, action not costly“). > > But Green asserts “My science is value-neutral–I just try to figure out what the science really says, and look past the hype.” Actually, it is very easy to figure out what the science really says — just read the reports of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. But that, of course, would shatter his carefully crafted ideologically-driven worldview. > > Instead, Green — how’s that for an ironic name? — distorts climate science with these amazing anti-scientific assertions about “the state of the science”: > > > [@](#): > > > > For the last decade, warming peaked, and has recently declined: we’re back to the average temperatures that prevailed in 1978. > > That will come as a big shock to the real climate scientists. You can see the NASA dataset at the right. You can get Hadley’s here. See also my post Yes, the globe is warming. But how fast? We aren’t even close to 1978 average temperatures. But this is what deniers like AEI do — they just make stuff up. Birds of a feather in the anti-science front, no wonder AEI are also supporting a fellow “elitism is genetic” and fuck the poor, that has continued to fail at convincing real scientists that he has the truth. Nah, he is just ending like Jeremy crying in his shrinking circle that only contains science denialism. > [@](#): > > **George** : Ok, men all aboard.
