    If you put peas in there, you're not going to get as many pills in.

    Go into the gents in your local Spoons, stick £3 in the machine. Don't buy the vibrating or ribbed ones, so I'm told.

    Not what was said at all

    The thread title says "Would eugenics have been a good idea?" past tense and suggesting that it would have been beneficial to being adopted

    I merely pointed out that this is effectively happening already with the amniocenteses test

    More so with IVF - although that is negating a huge part of the reproduction swimming tadpole, survival of the fittest scenario causing birth issues by forcing a tadpole direct into the egg

    No issue at all with pills & condoms & no idea why you would assume that

    Now what would those nice Swedes have done?

    Teenagers as young as 15 were sterilised, some without their parents' consent, for inadequacies as trivial as shortsightedness or because they allegedly lacked judgment or had "no obvious concept of ethics".

    Pressure was put on orphans and children in special schools and reformatories to have the operation as a condition of release.

    Pregnant women seeking abortions because their foetus was damaged were told they also had to consent to sterilisation.

    People could even apply to have problem neighbourhood families sterilised.

    Maija Runcis, who studied several thousand sterilisation cases as part of a doctoral thesis, said: "Nowadays people are appalled, but then nobody cared about these people. This was a backyard to the nice little Swedish home.

    Everyone always talked about the Swedish model, how nice it is here. But no one talked about things like this."

    Feck me, if you could be sterilized for myopia the assembled congregation would really be in trouble.
