There is no such thing as "undesireable" genes.

I beg to differ.

things are just to "perfect" to randomly appear. [...] our bodies are amazing pieces of machinery

I have trouble believing in a kind and loving god. Maybe there is a greater power out there, but he's got a twisted sense of humour.

I took pictures of 19N69W.

I think it's also a chance for those of us who really don't get out as much and visit new places near home.

What's the big deal, isn't the world full of other less meaningful projects? (http://www.uglypeople.com/, for example).

Lately, kind sir, I have been quite perturbed by certain events that have been proliferating in our society. Was it not so long ago, that in more civilized times, children respected and obeyed their parents, under the threat of a firm thrashing if their impudence and audacity got out of hand? But oh, kind father, the trials that parents today must suffer! Not just the other day, whist I was dining upon a fresh garden salad, my daughter, of not even 6 years old, insisted upon uprooting most unrest in requesting I purchase for her a milky-way bar! I quickly remarked to the impudent creature that one of our many servants would be more than willing to carriage her to the local general store; but no! she insisted that I -personally- drive the buggy to make the purchase! Oh wise man of God, what is a poor woman to do in these hard times! Before you can open your Moses-lovin' mouth Pastor, I have proposed a final solution to the problem of "youthful indiscretion"- Prison Labor!

Before you bring up cries of protest from your liberalism-saturated mind, hear me out! Our disrespectful children will learn the true meaning of honor and sacrifice while they're hard at work pounding license plates and assembling adding machines! Honestly, what better way is there to whip our children into shape? Scare them with threats of the boogey-man? Psh-haw! Just look at the wondrous effects prison labor had on the Dell kid! Not only will prison labor harden our children into obedient automatons, it will show them the reality they will have to face if they follow their current paths and become criminals!

Thank you for your attention kind Minister, and God-Bless!

Funny you should say that...as, aren't all these people Americans?

Why, thank you for asking. In truth, the winner was this guy.

"Winner" being a relative term, of course.
