They could probably teach him what infinity is.

Emerging technology has permitted for doctors and such to be less skilled... Yet, I don't believe the overall level of care has decreased... more so, it has increased.

Sorry for that poor explanation of my last post.
Now what i meant is that in parts of the US there is a program to get people off welfare and into work, a large part of it aimed at Single mothers making them work loads of hours for minimum wage (which really sucks in the US i hear) instead of giving them welfare, this also acts a deterrant to mothers who just want to have loads of kids and bring up these 'welfare families'.
The Problem with this program is that it caused mothers never to see thier children, and it blamed for the tragedy in Flint,Michigan where a 6 year old boy took a gun to school and shot a 6 year old girl.

So you would be caught doing 28mph in a 25 zone, or 80mph in a 70 zone, but not 26mph or 75mph respectively.

nah, I think +7 mph. You can't do percentages because energy increases with speed exponentially... i.e. 10% of 75 mph is much more dangerous than 10% of 25mph.

btw I made this thread in response to a woman putting her child in a washing machine.
It's events like these that make me think the world is doomed. I used the word unskilled because I didn't want to be accused of being a racists- which I often am. I won't mention the race of the woman who put her child in the washing machine- that is not releavant.
Can someone tell me that after events like this that the human race is not doomed? Humans are a bunch of sick bastards if you ask me. How can people be so cruel?
Sometimes I feel like I don't belong in this world.

If she did that, the term shoud be 'stupid and demented', not unskilled.
There is nothing wrong with you.

Checks watch.
This is an old, old argument, Dissident, where the wealthy wanted to keep the poor down because the poor bred too quickly.

Indeed we are. One would be decieving oneself to consider the opposite.

Ever see an abortion? Pretty hard to have faith in people when you see one up close. That for me really drove it home, the sickness of people today. There is no hope for people apart from God.

The problem exist, but they are not with evolution, but with capitalism. Capitalism serves only the interest of the top 10% or maybe 20% of the popluation. The rest are marginalised.
