      As I said, Bob, let's assume Sanger was everything you say she was. Let's give you that, 100%.

      How does that have any relevance on women's reproductive freedom today? In what way does it matter?

        LWT, GoT, Bill Maher, Vice, and for the next year The Newsroom are the only reasons I keep HBO. If not for Maher, Vice, and LWT, I'd probably cancel and just buy the blu-rays.

          If people are talking eugenics, and I was posting on response to joe bringing it up, then it's relevant to look at the history of eugenics in this country and elsewhere. If people tried that tactic on something else distasteful from the past, like Nazism or slavery or whatever, it'd look silly, as it does here.

            Vice is awesome. I mean, I can't sleep for days afterwards and I usually either want to kill somebody or myself, but it's phenomenally brave and well done.

                I wasn't aware people were talking about eugenics. Eugenics is selective breeding to improve the stock. Pretty much everybody agrees that Hugo Drax is not a good role model.

                I'm just not tracking, here. Are you equating birth control with eugenics because one of the leading exponents of birth control in the 19th century also advocated eugenics? Because that's like saying Hitler was a vegetarian therefore vegetarians are Nazis.

                      I never said anything about birth control. You keep trying to talk to me about something I never commented on. Never said anything about this Drax fellow either. Sanger is 20th century as are the Nazis. You're losing the plot a bit it seems.

                      Eugenics is a broader subject than just selective breeding, as there are a variety of possible means believers in eugenics can use to in their eyes improve the human race.

                        JFC, Bob. It may not have been the most popular movie ever, but you don't recognize a Bond villain? It's even one from about 40 years ago at this point, so you can't even blame it on not paying attention to modern culture.

                            To be fair to Bob, it was a really, really bad movie.

                            Turns out Drax is a much more interesting character in the book. I wish they'd filmed that instead.

                              Most other folks, and I'd have given up, but I'll say it one more time for you. My post was in response to joe's post mentioning eugenics, and I just provided a little history on eugenics. Just an informational post, but as usual, people try to pull it a variety of ways that have nothing to do with what I said. If you go back to my response to joe, you'll see what I'm saying. And I provided a bit of additional info for someone who wasn't familiar with Sanger, her wacky views, and her Nazi ties.
