Jail 'Greedy' Scam Victims, Says Nigerian Diplomat
AcidAUS writes with this nearly unbelievable snippet from today's Sydney Morning Herald: "The Nigerian high commissioner in Australia says people who are ripped off by so-called Nigerian scams are just as guilty as the fraudsters and should be jailed. Responding to a story in yesterday's Herald, which revealed Australians lose at least $36 million a year to the online scams, Sunday Olu Agbi said Australians had failed to heed repeated warnings not to deal with shady characters on the internet."
We could always sterilize them and any dependent children they may have. It would be a good first step to cleaning up the pool.
Virginia is for lovers. EVE is for griefers.
Your plan would make us even more vulnerable to diseases such as cancer, diabetes and many more, along with birth defects and an even lower average IQ. Homo sapiens already has a limited gene pool; you remember those articles about a population bottleneck from 70,000 years ago? Another would make it much worse. Genetic diversity is good for the species even if it does include undesirable characteristic, or at least it's better than a far more limited gene pool. Indeed, some would argue that perhaps that is why these problems are so common now.
The genetic science aside, who decided you were so much better? Your plan would create terrible problems for our entire species through inbreeding, so it doesn't sound like you're so much smarter than the people you think shouldn't have the right to breed.
I dream of a better world... one in which chickens can cross roads without their motives being questioned.
Kind of like those guys who sell crappy speakers dressed up as the expensive ones
Bose?
