... should be taken out of the gene pool?

Then there'd be all those lovely resources left for intelligent people who can spell, who know grammar, can count, can think clearly. Has the added bonus of improving the human race, as more intelligent babies will be born and the dumb schmucks won't be able to reproduce.

I think the NAZI party had a similar idea.

Oh yes, eugenics is always a lovely idea

Hmm have a Biscuit

Shoot me first them because my grammar is crap

usualsuspect · 07/03/2012 17:33

then * see my spelling is shit as well

I would like to be thick. Then I would think less and be happier.

That was the fastest invocation of godwin's law ever Grin

To whom would you then feel superior? Beware the law of unintended consequences.

ChaosTrulyReigns · 07/03/2012 17:35

Threads don't get any tougher than this.

"Has the added bonus of improving the human race, as more intelligent babies will be born and the dumb schmucks won't be able to reproduce."

is this a grammatically correct sentence?

But then who would clean the bogs for a living?
< puts down toilet brush >
< adjust blindfold ready to be shot >

You'd have a lot in common with my Gran, we're currently after a new carer for her, if your up for it?

I'll be quicker next time :o

Actually, towards the beginning of the 20th century, Churchill came up with the idea of killing disposing of the worst 50,000 thickos people in the country. He meant the sort we have now who breed like rabbits and don't control their cubs.

never seen this film i take it OP

"I would like to be thick. Then I would think less and be happier."

You sound like a very very happy person already :)

Well, you did set yourself up for that.

StripyMagicDragon · 07/03/2012 17:47

Then after they're gone, we could do smokers, fat people (there I go!), people who don't pick up dog shit, people who are TOO clever, the mentally ill, criminals...

Just think, by the time we finished, we'd have solved environmental issues because we'd all be dead! We wouldn't be here to see it, but we're clever enough to know this plan is the way forward!

Pandemoniaa · 07/03/2012 17:47

These threads are coming in thick and fast aren't they?

Could someone prepare a spreadsheet so we can keep up?

Pusheed · 07/03/2012 17:49

Segregation works just as well. Here in Hertfordshire we banish the thickies to Luton and Hemel.

Pandemoniaa · 07/03/2012 17:50

We send them to Hailsham. Or Langney.

BigGirlInASmallWorld · 07/03/2012 17:56

You seem very, very thick Jux

I agree with you.

Jux · 07/03/2012 17:58

Ambrosius, worry not.
Iambooyhoo, no I don't think it is grammatical Grin
Cat girl, I made a similar comment on the thread which inspired this one.
Stripey, that's the thread which inspired this one.

Just fed up with all these bloody AIBUs atm.

Yes, collectively, they are all BU. thought I'd try to get it collected in one place, that's all.

I am clearly destined to be euthanised. I clean for a living, I am fat and just in the middle of my journey toward being an ex smoker.
Shit.

Jux · 07/03/2012 18:01

BigGirl, I've been studying all day, and certainly feel very, very thick atm. I may also have stuck pins in my eyes by mistake too. That's how thick I am.

Ah, you're doomed, Rip. You won't get any medical care on the NHS either.
