Either that or mandatory iq tests for procreating:)

That sounds grossly immoral. Did it occur to you that that's basically eugenics?

Eugenics is killing something already there.

That's not true. Take a look at the Wikipedia page for it. (emphasis mine)

Eugenics (/juːˈdʒɛnɪks/; from Greek εὐγενής eugenes "well-born" from εὖ eu, "good, well" and γένος genos, "race, stock, kin")[2][3] is a set of beliefs and practices that aims at improving the genetic quality of the human population.[4][5] It is a social philosophy advocating the improvement of human genetic traits through the promotion of higher rates of sexual reproduction for people with desired traits (positive eugenics), or reduced rates of sexual reproduction and sterilization of people with less-desired or undesired traits (negative eugenics), or both.

Eugenics has even happened numerous times in America, mostly in the late 19th and early 20th century, but most people don't know about that. It didn't always involve killing people, but it did involve compulsory sterilization and euthanasia programs. Nobody knows about all of the awful things that America does because there's not a snowball's chance in hell that any of it would ever be allowed in history textbooks.

Thanks Invisible .... yeah, i see your point better now, and one would have to consider who is making the iq tests, and our natural human liberties are flushed down the proverbial toilet. But there is and remains a huge problem that is so big that people will get extremely angry with the mere supposition that it exists, like god for example. ... Maybe condom coupons for those with low grades in school?? Is that more moral?

Overpopulation is not a problem. It's kind of funny though, because the people who don't inform themselves and still think that it is inadvertently use eugenics on themselves by having fewer kids than would be typical.

I know all about eugenics in the US, so your claim that they won't teach it is false. US history is filled with atrocities. The US liked Hitler at first and Hitler actually got many of his ideas on eugenics from us. Anyway, it is one of many, many horrible things we have done.

Obviously I didn't mean that literally nobody knows about it, or else I wouldn't have been able to find it for myself, but it's not something people like to talk about. Also, the US didn't just like Hitler at first. US corporations liked him even when he started using jews in labor camps. It's a fact that we sold sold Ford cars, IBM computers, and Standard Oil to the German government. Again, not many people like to talk about that. It's a shame.

I do agree that we attempt to cover that up. AP history does talk quite a bit about what actually happened, not what we want to have happened. However that appears to be a recent development. Yes, our companies took advantage of concentration camps. It is awful to see how money is considered more important than human lives.
