Umm… okay. This thread… I feel that half the posts are people’s genuine serious opinions, and the other half are utter bullshit just for fun.

I am not sure how to distinguish the two. So I hesitate to post in this thread at all. If I posted my serious opinion, it might be taken as bullshit. If I posted bullshit, it would trivialize other people’s serious opinions. I guess the two shouldn’t be mixed up in one thread (unless your name is Robert Anton Wilson, and you are perpetrating it deliberately as one of your “Guerrilla Ontology” tactics).

On that note ( **Jomo Mojo** ’s point about bullshit) …

Sterilization  
Licenses to breed  
Dissallowing communication with the opposit sex (that was mine)  
Herding of groups of people in out of the way places to spare society from them  
Etc, …

Anyone who seriously thinks extreme measures such as these should be used to solve social ills in the USA … needs to read the constituion a few more times.
