Free will wasn't a mistake. We live or die by our own choices.

If you want some empirical proof that for some folks free will is just a license to thin out and improve the human gene pool, try this site out:

Already read most of it. Stupidity isn't heriditary, it's taught.

I did not want to offend any one who might take offense to stupid people. Besides, I did not think any one would appreciate the humor. Odd that I deleted the thread, but only the post went away. Very odd.

I did appreciate the humor, and I doubt anyone would take offense.

Re: OT: Yes, They Are Breeding! *DELETED*
My new neighbors were out last night playing paint ball; without protective head gear. The flashing lights of the ambulance were like a small fourth of July. Evidently, and this is yet to be officially confirmed, one of them was shot in or near the mouth and knocked out cold. Imagine if you will, a 68 calibar paint ball traveling at around 340 feet per second hitting you in the face at near point blank range. OUCH.
I have Larry the Cable Guy living in front of me. Its a new blue collar episode every day.
