Was Darwin right about survival of the fittest?

Question

I mean I don't buy macro-evolution due to the total lack of transitional fossils, yet the dumbest homosapiens really do seem to be eliminating themselves from existence. Look at liberalism:

1) 20% have become homosexuals and have stopped breeding
2) Many of the liberals who are still breeding are aborting their offspring
3) New Orleans, a virtual liberal utopia with liberal leadership at every level was a hell-hole of crime and corruption, lived below sea level, and was ultimately unable to use resources wisely enough to protect its citizens from extinction
4) Currently they want to withdraw from defending their own country, allowing the battle to come to our shores

Liberalism seems to have a tendency to eliminate terminate itself from the gene pool. What do you think?

Answer 1

I agree...I patrol 5 separate public housing projects within my city's limits and repond to calls there all the time...I have never seen such wastage of human lives,crack,weed,AIDS,70% out of wedlock childbirth rate,convicted felons by the time they are 18...oh yeah...these were created by the great liberal wellspring of Kennedy/Johnson handouts beginning in the 60's and carrying on today under the guise of entitlement programs and operate as vote buying for the dems....you use New Orleans as an example....the lower 9th ward had 5 generations of these parasites...pay them a little money each month,give them a place to shelter,food stamps and medicare..and every two years load them up in buses and truck them to the polls to vote democrat for their portion of the deal....when it came time to walk the 15 miles to safety before the levees broke or wait around for "the government:" to save them,they drowned...no ability left to make even survival decisions on their own....yeah,id say dem/liberals are gonna Darwinian self destruct....cant happen to soon for me...

Answer 2

First it's not true that there isn't transitional fossils. There are many. The problem is that every time we find a transitional fossil, the Creationists ( or Intelligent Design Theorists or whatever there calling themselves these days) want a transitional fossil to be between the fossils that were found. Therefore it leads to an infinite quest for even more fossils. Macro evolution is true. Deal with that. And deal with the rest of the common sense insight I'm about to give your puny mind.
1) The problem with this is that your presuming that homosexuality and liberalism are initially connected. Instead, what frequently happens is that a person realizes that they are homosexual and THEN typically becomes a liberal. So you would have to get rid of homosexuality to decrease liberalism. Trying to get rid of liberalism to decrease homosexuality won't work. That 20% figure is of course non sense. Furthermore, there is nothing wrong with someone being a homosexual if they choose to be. There are plenty of hetrosexual people left over to populate the world.
2)Abortion might have the tendency to keep liberalism to lower numbers than it might have achieved in the future, but there will still be plenty of liberals left over after abortions.
3)New Orleans problems have little to do with liberal leadership. It has almost everything to do with the devastation of Hurricane Katrina. If conservatives were running a city that got hit by a hurricane the situation in that city wouldn't be any better than it is now in New Orleans.
4) You are very naive if you think that fighting in Iraq will keep terrorists from hitting us in the U.S. It only takes a few terrorists to commit a successful attack. They don't need a whole army. Nor have they got their hands so full in Iraq from fighting the occupation that they can't send a few people over to kill more Americans if they wanted to.
As to the last thing you said, we are stll around and you have lost the majority in Congress. As long as there is a need to counteract the idiocy of conservatism, liberalsim will still be around. So, either get smarter or become a liberal.

Answer 3

1. Homosexuality is actually a mammals response to it's environment. (WHAT ARE THEY TEACHING IN SCHOOLS THESE DAYS@!) EVEN MEDIEVAL HUSBANDRY BOOKS NOTE THIS!) Those animals voluntarily remove themselves from breeding because the environment is poor. Thus they are the smarter the group. How sad you do not know this.

2. Abortion statistics do not include the rich (usually conservatives) who can hide their activities very well. The use of this statistic is not a good argument.
3. NO is not a liberal utopia. It historically has been the poorest meanest city in North America and also the most corrupt. It has not made any difference who was in charge. This is another very poor example. For a current brief disscussion read the book The White Slave girl.

4 Everyone else on earth has withdrawn their support to establish freedom in the middle east. Why? Because they consider the area hopeless. Perhaps the rest of the world is correct? Does this mean the rest of the world is liberals? Don't think so.

Have you been listening to talk radio instead of thinking?

Answer 4

I think its amazing you were able to say so much with your tongue so firmly planted in your cheek, for starters. But I'll play along...

1. You need to have a better knowledge or understanding (not respect or acceptance) of homosexuality before commenting intelligently on it.

2. To suggest that Republicans do not have abortions should have you spitting sand out of your mouth. As a matter of fact, that goes for homosexuality too...

3. After all the political double speak...I guess we finally have the explanation for why Bush has done so little to help the citizens of New Orleans...

4. Survival of the fittest is not just a physical fight...it is also an intellectual one. And intellectually, it has been widely recognized that continuing to increase the military in Iraq is throwing good money after bad, and will do nothing to end the war and violence. A new solution needs to be executed...one intellectually devised.

Conservativism seems to have a tendency to infect its gene pool by inbreeding and propogating more hypocrites...that's what I think.

Answer 5

Darwin was right, and you should re-asses your view regarding macro-evolution. As opposed to the time Darwin lived, there are many transitional fossils in the fossil record. So if your fundie friends can stand it, evolution happened.

On to your other "points".

approx 10% of the population is gay or bisexual. Some of those have children through a previous relationship or adoption. So they actually do have a feeder population.

Abortion statistics are always overblown. But in your terms, think of the number of unwed mothers and "welfare" children.
Does that work for you?

New Orleans will return. The reason that it is still in horrible shape is because of the lack of leadership from your buddy Bush. Katrina is yet another fracas made worse by the Bush administration.

Really, if I were a Bush apologist I wouldn't want to bring Katrina up very much.

Finally is US troops withdraw from Iraq, how does that then allow them to board planes and harm us. Is US presence in Iraq somehow cutting off their access to travelocity.com?

Answer 6

With every day pass, our country is getting into more and more trouble. The inflation, unemployment and falling value of dollar are the main concern for our Government but authorities are just sleeping, they don’t want to face the fact. Media is also involve in it, they are force to stop showing the real economic situation to the people. I start getting more concern about my future as well as my family after watching the response of our Government for the people that affected by hurricane Katrina.

According to recent studies made by World Bank, the coming crisis will be far worse than initially predicted. So if you're already preparing for the crisis (or haven't started yet) make sure you watch this video at http://www.familysurvival.tv and discover the 4 BIG issues you'll have to deal with when the crisis hits, and how to solve them fast (before the disaster strikes your town!) without spending $1,000s on overrated items and useless survival books.

Answer 7

Well lets see.... You have managed to try and combine evolution with politics. Politics rarely mix well with anything. Survival of the fittest means that whatever the surroundings, the strongest and most adaptable creature survives. I think the politicians are very adept at reading thier surroundings and using the strength of thier constituents to rise to the top and "survive". They use whatever the flavor or mood the constituents have at the moment and agree with them, give them what they want and then watch them destroy themselves. When all is said and done the politician is still standing. Survival of the fittest, not just a theory. Hey look, I was able to mix them as well.

Answer 8

This is an absolutely facetious statement.

It seems lately that many conservatives are rather fond of the gay lifestyle.They just don't like to admit to it.

You have absolutely no idea of the political affiliations of women who have abortions.

Name a city anywhere in the country that's not overrun with crime.Violent crimes are up by double digits in almost every major city in the country.And our government sat and watched a city and its people die until the public outcry forced them to act.

And this war built on lies in Iraq is ridiculous,and you know it.All its done is create millions of new terrorists.Let's get Bin Laden and defeat Al Qaeda in Afghanistan.You remember,the people who actually attacked us?
Or do we need them to serve as propaganda for the "Long War' as Rummy liked to call it?

Answer 9

Concerning your headline, what Darwin meant was AS A SPECIES, whatever species was able to adapt to the enviornment in the best way, was most able to prosper, AS A SPECIES. Later, social evolutionists used survival of the fittest as some sort of comment on human individuals, which, Darwin scoffed at. Nazi's would agree with you, though, so, you are in interesting company.

Also, same sex sexual behavior has been witnessed by scientists numerous times in many other mammals besides human beings.

Answer 10

None of your statements have any basis because you assume all people have a political leaning by their actions. Most people just base their lives on their own circumstances at any given time, not on what is the liberal or conservative view.
