Ironically you can get vitamin D from 15 min of direct sunlight... if your cholesterol levels are normal.

I'd say 40% of the immune system is lifestyle while the other 60% is genetic.

We observe this in animal populations all across the world.

Canada about 20 years ago had a problem with its moose population. The moose population was dwindling but the government couldn't understand why. Their theory was over predation by wolves. They had recently culled a large number of wolves but that didn't increase the population of moose.

So, they hired an ecologist to live in the woods for a year and find out why. The ecologist found out the the wolves were eating mice, not the larger moose. The dwindling moose population had a different cause.

The ecologist found out that a large portion of the gene pool of the moose had weak immune systems and were chronically sick. The fact that the wolves werent large enough in number meant that the sickest moose were allowed to replicate and make the entire population chronically sick by changing the gene pool. Normally the wolves kill and eat the sickest moose and it makes the gene pool of the moose improve over time. The government didn't believe the ecologist until he physically produced proof that the wolves were eating mice and not moose because they are clueless tax and spend liberals of course.

Ecology works similarly to chemistry in that equilibrium are reached as a result of several interrelated factors.


What a silly thing to say. Conservative farmers would have given you the same logic.

And your last sentence is you being a radical leftist again.

Always nice when a right winger drops all pretense and just starts advocating for eugenics.

Since you are a type 1 diabetic, you literally should have died when you were a child. You have a genetic defect that would have resulted in your slow and painful death, but those "tax and spend liberals" invested in research that resulted in insulin being available to you. Now you have a chance to spread your broken genes. Using the argument you just made, I could very convincingly argue that you shouldn't be allowed to breed and we should let nature take it's course.

I'm not, because I'm not an absolute idiot like you are, but I could.

I don't see any ice age around.

What's it like preaching an ideology that would result in your own extermination?

I mean, think about it: Hitler himself was a puny little man with brown hair and eyes who constantly preached about the superiority of the tall, blonde, blue-eyed aryan master race.
This kind of dissonance is really nothing new among the circles that fabulate about eugenics and stuff like that.

I think hitler had some serious sexuality issues. Pretty common repression freak outs in the conservative culture (priests etc.)

You have chosen not to have children. If anything it is you who have been Darwin'd
