If it were truly still a survival of the fittest scenario, we’d still be executing the retarded and possibly half of us on this board wouldn’t be here due to being snuffed out at some point in our lives by a stronger, more fit person. :P[/quote]
Survival of the smartest i think is more apt. [/quote]
Dawinianly speaking “fitest” means having the most babies that live to have babies.
Being smarter or stronger is not necessarily what it takes to be “fitest.”
For example, Neaderthal were probably smarter AND stronger than cro-magnon. But their women didn’t have as many babies, and so were snuffed out (or absorbed, opinions differ).
The welfare queen at the trailer park is far more evolutionarily fit than the doctor who has 1 child.
(For the record, I have 6 daughters, and one on the way. I plan on having 8 kids, in two batches of 4.)

Whats worse is someone has hit it, and hit it enough to make her think she is secksy.

Sorry about the double post (I hate using mobile phones), but was anyone aware that the government does sometimes chemically castrated those deemed unfit to reproduce. I worked at a mental illness facility and I specifically remember a client getting castrated in response to his inability to control himself around women.

The concept is to chemically castrate sexual offenders to help reduce sexual urges; it has nothing to do with preventing reproduction.

It’s actually a very old idea that’s been with us for a very long time. One person just simply doesn’t cut it.
Throughout most of human history royalty has claimed to be god-like and better than the measly humans that they literally taxed to slavery and/or death. Not only was it seen as “ok”, but it was actually seen as necessary.
