so what other horrible ideas out there are now reality

or if you want could just discuss this

OMG! I foresee a drop in male fertility...

The Burned Game

Taxes, money, clothes, laws, morals, prisoners with human rights....ermmm food costing money, money, taxes.....security tags on sweeties....I want my lunch!

Pants? As a finnish i can tell you that sauna is supposed to be a full body experience. If the skin on your back doesn't get red, you're doing it wrong

Wouldn't it be damn cold in Scotland without clothing?

I'm used to it, I walk around in shorts or just boxers all day on the weekends and when I'm home from work.
Did make snow angels once without clothes as part of a dare - never again!

The idea of race. Guess what? Turns out it is all superficial. You are just as likely to have identical genetics as someone of another 'race' as you are of having identical genetics with your own 'race'.

Effing imperialistic Catholic Europe....

I'm Finnish and I'm amused how stupid and useless this product is.

Created the longest period of peace in history...horrible things but they did do some things right I guess. Then again Micronesia and Japan may disagree. Nuclear power is nice though.

Non-selective breeding ?

I don't know of any bad ideas that became reality since those ideas propably died before I got word of them

Oh SOPA?

To be fair, in medicine, drugs can have different effects on different racial groups. So differences do exist, just not normally in a person-to-person comparison. Race is a continuum.

Psh, the Scots can handle it. Have you never heard how the Celts just painted their bodies blue and attacked the Romans naked? LOL

Hmm, stupid inventions, let's see... the cellphone! (especially while driving!) Most people can't drive anyway, the cellphone made it worse! LOL

Yes some genetic differences do exist. But the idea of race is still incorrect. There are Regional differences. A 'Black' person from Northern Africa has important biological differences from a 'Black' person in southern Africa. Genetics are important but race is pretty much the first thing people notice about another person after gender. Then they make automatic assumptions about said person in regards to their race. Black, white, asian and Latino mean nothing in terms of shared culture, genetics, religion or even identity. That is why it is wrong. If we use the basic idea of race to treat people medically it would cause way to many problems as some people of a 'race' are not the same as others. Fortunately our doctors do not make assumptions on race often(well at least in terms of the actual treatment). Also what is deems Black and what is deemed Asian are wildly different. A person that looks black may not be black as we think of it. Same with Asian. The people of the Pacific Islands are quite different from those of Japan and the rest of Asia.

Let's see:
- Nukes
- Totalitarianism
- Any weapon more advanced than axe and bow.
- Imperialism
- Fundamentalism

To name some. It would be easier to name human inventions/ideas that were actually good.
I am Finnish and I applaud this method of reaping more money off the gullible masses. Though I do think that like the Greek have monopoly on Feta cheese, Finns should have monopoly on Saunas.

I can't argue with any of that. I think we're debating semantics. African Americans share a set of similar traits, in the same was that European Jews (who are normally considered an ethic group and not a 'race') share many similar traits. African Americans have an increased risk of diabetes. European Jews have an increased risk of genetic disorders like tay-sachs. Race as is commonly construed is an inexact term, but the phenomena it describes - clusters of slightly more similar people - exists in the real word. Like I said, it's a continuum, and we all lie somewhere on that line.

Surely you can see some minor morphological differences between http://vicmackey.trakt.tv/images/people/2902.jpg, http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_R5uhlefVFmQ/SpOGT8kRBZI/AAAAAAAAD2Q/XHoIskJu3Fc/s800/hiroyuki_sanada.jpg and http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/01/ViggoMortensen08TIFF.jpg/220px-ViggoMortensen08TIFF.jpg?

Also, I'm not quite sure what race has to do with Catholicism specifically.

Damn genetics to hell!!

The creation of a second religion.

Steam/DRM.

Gods yes! And downloadable content, a KotOR mmo and a Warcraft mmo. KotOR 3 has gone the way of Warcraft 4.

Fast Food. The country was much lighter and healthier before its proliferation in the 1970s. Used to be there was one or two fat kids in an elementary school of a couple hundred kids. Now its every third kid. And not just chubby, grossly obese. That's all happened in just 30 years.

Cutting Cecilff2's budget funds.

EA

Yeah, they were cool back when they still were "Electronic Arts"
