Yeah that's eugenics, guy. Eugenics loves dictating who can and cannot reproduce based on potential genetic factors passed to their offspring. Kind of the cornerstone.

The guy who built the Guidestones was very likely a KKK fan. Doesn't deserve much benefit of the doubt.

So it's eugenics to say that incest is bad?

Most incest involves rape. Prohibitions are sensible.

Bans on breeding based on a belief of genetic inferiority of potential offspring is eugenics. Don't do that.

2 week old post, dude.

Til demonstrable facts are merely "beliefs" now. I don't care how old the post is, your idiocy is timeless.

Are you legitimately saying eugenics is something OTHER than controlling who can breed based on belief of genetic superiority/inferiority of their offspring?

Time to accept that you are a little bit of a eugenicist. I wonder what other people you think should be banned from having kids because of possible hereditary issues? I bet a lot of your beliefs are based on pretty flimsy knowledge of those factors, which is always how it is with eugenicists.
