It's not completely wacky. Ibuprofen is an anti-inflammatory, and inflammation is an immune response.

Then it becomes a question that anyone who has ever been happy can answer for themselves. When I am happy, I am not wanting to be happy. It's kind of ...

Can you tell truly happy from falsely happy?

You are Jeff Bezos, and I claim my £5.

It's not that we're ignoring you, it's that your analysis is crystal clear and unanswerable.

There is only literature on this site, never lived experience. But all of us have a lived experience even we disregard it. Here is the literature of o...

I said "your descendants" you said "the next generation". My children are one thing, my sister's and cousin's children are another.

Make America great again, by stealing German scientists again.

No we cannot. You can maintain your personal innocence, that's all. Whatever bad happens won't happen to your descendants, if you don't have any.

No. you are proposing , not predicting. And you are being disingenuous and irresponsible. You have been exposed.

It's far more serious than that. There are potentially uncountable generations of future off-spring, one of whom might be the fuckwit politician that ...

Why would there be revolt? Do you think people would find it an unacceptable curtailment of their freedom? Why is it acceptable for women but not men?

I don't think that. No obligation being projected by me. I don't think my children will procreate, and I'm fine with that. Perhaps they would be persu...

I'd like to see some report of that. Google tells me that immature eggs have been matured outside the body experimentally, but I don't see anything ab...

No, I don't, particularly. What I do think is we lead more regulated lives and less physically active lives, and these produce more stress. Government...

Do I? I think I am being quite rational about the most feasible form of population control. Indeed, but those eggs are immature, and will mature usual...

Stolen from facebook and completely unchecked, so I'm just exposing my political bias and naivety, but it's a good laugh, unless you're in the US.

Oh good. Well I can confirm that it is much much cheaper and safer to sterilise men than women. And of course the puberty problem applies to both sexe...

Yeah we could do that. Or we could stop being total pricks and decide it's a deeply repugnant and immoral idea in the first place. :vomit:

There's always going to be some resistance to this sort of program until it becomes traditional.

Well, you'd just have to lock them up from the beginning of puberty until you have a sufficient sample, or better still, just pick a few of the best f...

No, if you sterilise the men, you can leave the eggs where they are, and they will also last 40 years or so.

I don't think it is. Well more Jeff than Bill. But it's not that someone has ultimate power, but that they have ubiquitous power. The modern stress is...
