Z that was the poorest answer, it wasn't even close to what I've been discussing for days. I guess you're not ready for my type of debate. Thank you for trying though. M.

Since the only ones that get to pass on their genes are the ones that breed, anything that keeps that from happening defines that individual as unfit. But that could be anything from a lack of understanding of the importance of hygiene or a driving need to win every argument, to a lack of a heart or a cerebellum...
