We already know that you hate Jews and we already know that you're a eugenicist. Now we have this. You are an actual Nazi and I claim my five pounds.

Surprise, Surprise; the blond man in Greece wasn't Ben Needham. I wonder who the gypsies will have 'stolen' next week; Lord Lucan?

But they were just establishing the facts!. What is unreasonable about that?!

Fish suppers are on you!

How many fish suppers would that have bought you in 1973?

I asked my dad out of curiousity. He says fish suppers were about 50 to 80p. So you could have fed most of the British contingent on here with 50p left over for the electricity meter.

Citation needed. Also parents choosing to enhance their kids genes =/= Nazi eugenicism.

And no, the poll is a joke because the premise is intellectually dishonest.

Clearly it is, this have primary been a problem for British media not the world media, where this have been a rather minor story. So no the "international media" should not apoligise for the British media being British. So clearly the poll at is chauvinistic, bigoted and Britic-centric and you can answer "no" without it translate it into "I'm a racist".

I voted "yes". I've read this story in non-British media. Anyway, who cares? Nobody likes Roma people. Manuel Valls is a racist too, for the record.

American liberals who know Roman people claim to like them until they encounter them in person (n=7, margin of error +- 50%).

If by "technically" and "suppose" you mean absolutely, definitively isn't then your right.

'[Y]our right'? Yes, it would indeed be my right to say that, but that's not what I'm saying. Sorry!

Then what are you trying to say? That you seriously think that parents in the future being able to genetically modify their children if they wish is akin to Nazi exterminationist policies? That's just absurd.

Perhaps not akin in degree, but certainly akin in kind, yes.

Yes, obviously.

Though of course, this attitude makes perfect sense for them since they are addressing a public largely made of racists.
