Oh, same theory as the banks, insurance companies and airlines.

Banks = "Service fees on everything and you do all the work yourself
online."

Insurance = "We do not cover anything that might possibly happen. If we
miss something, we'll exclude it next year and increase everyone's
premiums."

Airline = "SALE to Toronto $99!!! (Each way, plus airport improvement
fees, fuel surcharge, NavCan Fee, baggage fee, pilot's salary,
stewardess' sanitary napkin fee) + HST! (Total - $875, but advertised
at $99.)

I think they want to be called flight attendants these
days. However, any gender can use a sanitary napkin, so it's added
to the price of the ticket.

". . . rumours began to circulate that Edward had been murdered at Berkeley
Castle. Accounts that he had been killed by the insertion of a red-hot
iron or poker into his anus slowly began to circulate, possibly as a
result of deliberate propaganda; chroniclers in the mid-1330s and 1340s
spread this account further, supported in later years by Geoffrey le
Baker's colourful account of the killing."

I feel science by it's nature can never go "too far" but humans can
push it there (think human cloning or transhumanism, animal-human
hybreeding experiments) just too name a few. Just think if any of these
were accomplished? What then of the "beings" rights? Is it human? Is it

Yes, those would lead to some moral discussions. Some of those
things may come to pass. It seems to be that all things that we
can do we will do. The solutions, if any exist, will be political.

It's gone too far becuse celebrities like Barbara Streisand have spent
tens of thousands of dollars to clone their most beloved pets, and now
cloning pets is becoming fairly mainstream. In late 2017, the first
primates, twin macaque monkeys were successfully cloned using the same
technology that gave us Dolly the sheep, the first mammal cloned in the
late 90's. In 2018, Chinese scientist Jiankui created the first
genetically modified babies using CRISPR technology to alter their DNA
and diminish their risk of contracting HIV.

It seems like technological advancement is progressing faster than our
ability to comprehend the implications of such ground breaking
technology. These recent technological innovations beg the question of
whether science can, in fact, go too far, and whether it already has.
The existence of the first genetically modified humans may be an
indication that the threshold has already been crossed; something once
thought to be science fiction has now become reality.

Genetic modification could have unlimited medical benefits and utility
in eradicating diseases, disorders, physical and mental defects, and
negative genetic traits; thus improving the lives of millions of people,
it could also be detrimental for those who are "imperfect." There are
significant ethical concerns about the recent developments in genetic
engineering and and how the pursuit of perfection seemingly devalues
preexisting life. This is especially concerning as the genetic
modification of humans is now a reality.

You could make the argument that genetic modification and
cloning devalues life because it is searching for perfection, and
whenever you're looking for perfection, you're extenuating the negatives
of those that already are in existence.

For example, people who do not meet the societal standard of perfection
may be judged as inferior. This could potentially lead to the
development of a caste system based on a genetic hierarchy. If this were
to be the case, genetic modification would only exacerbate the
inequality of classes, as only the wealthy would likely be able to
afford to modify their offspring to be "perfect," while people of a
lower socioeconomic status would not be able to.

Why do you promote eugenics? Do the means justify ANY ends? What
is wrong with you? :-)

OK. So you are afraid of future consequences. Perhaps our children
will be wiser than us. I think these fears existed for every generation.

It might do that, and maybe not. In that future most humans will
be "useless" anyway with robots doing nearly all the work. This could
be heaven or hell. We'll see just how good the human race really is
when they have to adapt to this new world. So far humans have
done fairly well comparing each generation with the previous ones.

Well, on 22 July of this year, you posted the following (thanks to
Google Groups it's still there. :-)

========================

"In memory of Al Smith" (By James Warren)

Some blasts from the past. :)

"My definition of reality is not the same as that of the average person.
I believe many things that are not physical or material are real. Dreams
are real, in my opinion -- it's just a question of a different kind or
level of reality from the usual waking physical reality." Al Smith.

"The world is naturally filled with gods, angels, spirits and devils."
-Al Smith.

"In my opinion, a great many more people should be removed from the world
than is currently the case. If this were done,the world would be better
for the rest of us." - Al Smith

"It's depressing to me to drive down some city streets. I see the
private walls, fences and doors sprayed over with incoherent obscenities,
and I see these little gangs of fat, badly-dressed losers lounging
around the sidewalks.I'd like to decorate the walls with their blood." -
Al Smith

"Science teaches nothing of any importance in life. It exists to keep
the machines running and the food coming into the supermarkets, but for
the individual human being, it is an arid wasteland. All science knows is
how to push objects around. It has no higher purpose than plumbing or
ditch digging. Scientists are nothing more than glorified mechanics --
highly educated morons, in fact." - Al Smith.

"Cultures in the Middle East, Far East and Africa were stagnant. They
were going nowhere, until Europe and America came in via colonial
expansionism and modernized them. Being taken over by European nation
was the best thing that ever happened to most of those shit holes. The
only thing better was to have a large European population actually come
to live in the country in question. Third World peoples should get down
on their knees every day and thank white Christians for giving them
electricity and running water, not to mention trains, trucks, telephones,
productive farming techniques, decent medical care, science, stable money
systems, and a government that actually works some of the time. They owe
us everything, and the ungrateful pricks still want to slit our throats
while we sleep and steal what we've got." - Al Smith.

"No, James, stats are what bureaucrats use in order to get the funding
they need for their pet projects. Stats are what elected officials use
to promote various programs, or to increase taxes. They have no bearing
on reality. They can be made to show whatever the people who gather them
want them to show. They're a tool of social manipulation, nothing more.
They are also crutch for those with no common sense and no ability to
formulate an original thought.God save us from petty bureaucrats and
statisticians." - Al Smith.

"We need more hangings, lots more of them. Start with Spryfield, and then
move onto the bums on the corners downtown, and the vandals and
graffiti writers, and after them the drug sellers and prostitute with
their pimps. In notice we'd improve the quality of life for the rest of
us to an amazing degree. And really, what would be the cost? We'd execute
a few people we don't need and don't want,who are contributing nothing
and who are hurting others every day they continue to live." -Al Smith.

"It's a game plan that activists in the homosexual community have
laid out, wherein they shock the sensibilities of "straights" repeatedly
and frequently, for the purpose of desensitizing them to displays
of homosexual behavior, or the presence of homosexuals. The idea behind
it is, if people start to think that homosexuality is everywhere and
right out in the open, they will start to accept it as normal and
natural,because, how can it not be normal and natural when its
everywhere and right out in the open? So far the game plan seems to be
working for them. Of course, it means nothing -- it is not normal
behavior, no matter how prominently it is displayed in parades." Al Smith
in response to "What is the homosexual agenda?"

"I do know that as someone who has no kids, I feel no inclination at
all to limit,disrupt, burden or inconvenience my life because of someone
else's kids." - Al Smith.

"I find very little problem with adults, but kids are nothing but
a damned nuisance.They are like a species of vermin that you are
forbidden by law to trap." -Al Smith.

"Hey! There's nothing wrong with being homophobic. :-)" Al Smith.

========================

Reference the 5th paragraph up. You said nothing. In fact, these
are all not rebutted Al Smith posts, according to your post above. They
seem like quotes of admiration. I didn't know you two were like
minded. :-)

Seems to me if you don't disagree or ask for claificarition, you are
in agreement! :-)

For the record, I am against more hangings. You?

Yeah, me too.

Wow! How did you manage to dig up all those wonderful quotes?

He certainly was an eloquent shithead, that Al.

I wonder if he would be happy living in a Christian Taliban. :(

Me? You were the one who collected all those Al Smith quotes. I
found your post on Google because I remember you posting it and
reminding us what a charmer he was/is. Do you and he still play
poker and pool together?

I thought I saved several of his "treasures" on my computer but
I just searched for them and could not find them. Maybe I lost
them on my old computer.

I just found them. You were right!
I couldn't just let them vanish into cyberspace; they were such
gems! :)

You posted that list on 22 July, according to Google Groups. Either
way, now you have a fresh copy to read every morning. Print them
off and read daily them whilst eating your oats. :-)

I found them again.

You are chock full of great ideas. I'll do it right away. I think
I'll frame them in a lovely gold frame and hang them over
my mantle.

Thanks again. :)

Can you re-post your responses? I seem to recall most of them were
"Atta-boy, Al!" sort of things, but I can't remember you expert
wordsmithing when praising him. :-)

Sadly, I did not keep my responses. Undoubtedly they were gems. :)

There were a dozen parallel arguements going on back then, andf it
was hard to follow/engage in them all. Al Smith was a big component of
the chatter, but there was so much else that I sort of skimmed over
him. All I remember is he was weird and you two had a bromance of
some sort going.

There were RWAs, crackpots, weirdoes. mystics, narcissists,
dumboes, Al Smith and you and me. I could not type fast
enough to keep up with all the separate attacks on my
fully justified reasonable and rational arguments. :)

True, But we always thought you were an arguebot. The fixiation
on 'gaslighting' suggests a hipster. Wow! :-)

If you didn't gaslight there would be no need for me to mention it.
Give it up! :)

I don't think so. You started using it a year or so ago, and it's
the "Word of the year." This smells of a person who follows trends and
fads religiously . . . a "hipster."

I bet you were one of the first guys to get a tramp stamp tattoo and
a ring in your prick. What is wrong with people who do stuff like that? :-)

Now you're doing your dodge and weave trick again. :)

Trendy or not, you gaslight, or try to. Give it up. :)

Well, hipster, it's like this. You never mentioned gaslighting
until the last 6-8 months. And it's the 2022 'word of the year.'
Circumstantial evidence, but compelling!


Why do hipsters burn their mouths on coffee? Because they drink
it before it's cool. :-)

Whether I mentioned it or not, it is what you do. :)
