Firstly, they are totally ignorant about the correlations between intelligence and the advancement of a species. Secondly, they are totally ignorant about genetic disposition. Half of them don't even know what "disposition" means. Thirdly, they believe so strongly, that each and every one of us is born equal. That is just plain bullshit.
People need to get out of their egalitarianistic beliefs and accept that some(a lot of) people are just born stupid. There are just some people that will waste your money when you put them at Harvard. Some people who will do nothing for the world other than waste the precious resources that the rest of us need so very much.
I was reading a thread entitled "Should there be a license to have sex?" and it was mainly discussing the prohibition of idiots from reproducing. The threadstarter's post wasn't very well thought out, but he had the general idea. Refer to eugenics.
If you are bothered enough to read that cesspool of idiocy, note how all of them seem to be so against the idea. It's fine to be against an idea, but make sure you have proper reasoning to back up your argument, unlike these people. They draw horribly wrong conclusions from the original post, and start claiming that he is deluded/stupid/attention-seeking. They take the thread personally, trying to justify why they should be able to have children.
They shouldn't. People who are unable to use common logic and reason to analyse a simple passage should just have their balls cut off.
Okay, just quoting from the thread here,
"trust me If i want to have a baby i can :P and if a law like this was passes what are they gonna do? fine me? kill the baby? hmmm? jee now whats wrong wtih this sentence.....hmmm"
Exactly the type of person that should totally be killed. Painfully. Anyway, if I were to respond... Yes. Kill the baby. Biomass fuel, fertiliser. Corpses are quite useful, you know. Anyway, there are laws and penalties for a reason. If you murder someone you get the death sentence. Same thing here.
By the second half of page 2, the "debate" just veers way off course. With idiots nitpicking at stuff that aren't really even relevant. Also not to forget the way all of them completely miss the point.
... Okay I just can't continue here. It's like trying to reason with a screaming toddler. I think the education system in general is missing out on some very important topics.
sigh.
