I came across an interesting definition:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'O')n a side note, although "idiot" is a nonspecific insult today, not long ago it had a precise technical meaning. In the early years of IQ tests, an idiot was someone with an IQ of 0-25, an imbecile had an IQ of 26-50, and a moron had an IQ of 51-70.

I think cretin is the worst, thus the poll must be repaired to cast my vote.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'S')o, as Peak Oil hits, food (and other resources) will be less available. One must ask what we, as a society, should do with our more vulnerable members. For this particular poll, let us consider the mentally challenged. (See? I can write in politically correct terms!)

The question, then, is what you think should be done with idiots, morons, and imbeciles. Please use the above definition, in terms of IQ, in your determination - being annoying is not the same as being an idiot, imbecile, or moron.

It will be back to what it was before cheap energy:

-nasty institutions

-basement rooms

-quiet "mercy" killings

By the way, you are clearly a sociopath. Well done!

What about the medically-created brain dead? You know...the children's medical centers that go to extraordinary effort to prop up brain injured infants (usually the swallow victims) only to create wheel-chair monsters that require unbelievable resource to keep alive?

And before you all jump me... I've lived through one of these recently... I was the first friend to get the call that morning "...pray for my son..."

It was almost four years ago and I must -Must- conclude that a pronouncement of death on that day would have relieved years of torment and suffering.

[Ayame]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('MD', 'W')hat about the medically-created brain dead? You know...the children's medical centers that go to extraordinary effort to prop up brain injured infants (usually the swallow victims) only to create wheel-chair monsters that require unbelievable resource to keep alive?

As we all soon begin to dial back the hands of time, we shall find that the answers to this and other difficult questions lie in what was done before.

A quick peek back in time tells us that what was done in the not-too-distant past will take some getting used to.... but we will get used to it, and more... much more.

That's really what downslope is all about . . . an excruciating series of difficult decisions that with each passing day include increasingly uncomfortable options.

Who knows... maybe some who are handicapped in todays world because of low IQ will have an advantadge in the world of tomorrow?

If they can build themselves a slave house, I'll let them live on my land and chop the firewood, do the gardening, tend the livestock etc...

Otherwise a .22 round won't be too much of a waste on them...

We should first ensure that never again will an imbecile or moron occupy the white house and have control of the US military and it's nuclear forces.
