Title: Obesity and the Master Race - Scary!
Post by Frank_W on Mar 29^th, 2005, 11:09am

I swear, the world just gets crazier, every day.

http://www.pnmj.org/0032205_curing_obesity.asp

"Beginning last November, the city of San Francisco began a program whereupon clinically obese men between the ages of 18 and 55 could undergo a procedure whereupon approximately 1/2 an inch is removed from each vas and the ends are sealed - commonly referred to as a vasectomy - completely free of charge. The overwhelming turnout led the State of California to follow suit, and now California is the first state in the Union to offer state-funded vasectomies to men who have been diagnosed as obese.

Why would a state adopt such a controversial program? The basis is simple: vasectomy is a popular method of birth control (in 1983, figures showed that approximately 10 million men had been sterilized in the U.S. since 1969). By offering such a highly effective form of birth control freely to men who, by clinical diagnosis, have been deemed genetically inferior to the normalized median of homo sapien development, such a gene line would effectively be eliminated."

Master race? Genetically inferior? Eliminating blood lines from the gene pool? Didn't I see this movie already? Back in 1940 something?

That was my first thought as well, Gator. Very weird.

Well, if it's a such good idea, then let's take it a step further and save billions of future dollars spent on health care and exterminate anyone more than what, say 10% over their MetLife designated maximun allowed weight.

Fire up the ovens! It's gonna be a hot time in the old town tonight!

The only thing scary about it is that some people actually believe it.

Read the references under the article and try to relate them to the subject of the article.
