... 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.

Who gets the gun? What's the criteria of thickness?

NotaStatistic · 08/03/2012 09:54

Thats what makes it difficult

"What's the criteria of thickness?"

Difficult question. The other day I saw this well made up women in a Merc SUV make a stupid and dangerous turn. She was obviously an affluent person so we can't use income as a criteria.

There are lots of clever people out there without a degree (my parents for eg) so we can't use education as a criteria.

Hmmm. I need to think about this some more.

"Maybe those who speak like they do on the only way is essex..."

.... or those who watch The Only Way Is Essex? :o

Thanks for clearing up what TOWIE stands for. I've seen the acronym used but I've never knew what it stood for.

Going off topic a mo - I could never understand the popularity of such programs. I grew up in a working class part of the Midlands where life was like Coronation Street and TOWIE. So today I have totally no interest in watching programs about a life I worked so hard to escape from.

anychocswilldo · 08/03/2012 10:18

Wow! I can't believe nobody has posted that they're offended yet. Well I am offended!only coz I don't think I'd last too long how very dare you!! :0

not intelligent enough obviously Sad

RuleBritannia · 08/03/2012 10:21

What about all those who apply to be on the Jeremy Kyle Show? I can't stand any of them.

Tiptoptoe · 08/03/2012 10:24

Based on the OP's criteria, my SN ds2 would need to be disposed of Angry

Ambrosius · 09/03/2012 11:51

pusheed there's nowt working class about TOWIE!

Ambrosius · 09/03/2012 11:55

I thought Jux said this was a 'joke' thread in response to suggestions of eugenics etc on other threads? Have I got it wrong?

Archemedes · 09/03/2012 11:57

Is this a spoof thread??

Whatmeworry · 09/03/2012 11:58

Good idea, but only if I get to define who is "thick"....

SucksToBeMe · 09/03/2012 11:58

Oh dear, i must admit, i'm a bit thick.

ThatVikRinA22 · 09/03/2012 12:00

did someone ask where you stand on semi thickos?

i generally find it best to stand on their toes. then they cant work out how to move.
hth!

MrsArchieTheInventor · 09/03/2012 12:01

Each to their own, peace, harmony and tolerance to all men...

Unless you watch Jezza, TOWIE or other such like programmes. Shock

Not all television can be Schindler's List or University Challenge. We'd be a right boring species if that was all we watched. Me, I'm partial to a bit of Take Me Out of a Saturday night! Smile

I live in Hemel in a very large attractive Edwardian house and most of my neighbours are teachers, police officers, architects etc. Should I be offended? Wink

I have medically equired thickness, so memory source forgetten. However I would make the point that canabalism as a solution is counter productive.

Canabals eat their enermies in the belief that by doing so they will envibe the strength of their foe.

Put it another way instead of ridding the world of thickos by eating them, you will just make yourself more thick. Probably not unlike mad cow disease.Grin
