Fix'd.
Whoa whoa, people are fucking ok with getting other people drugged to change the way they think? Jesus what is wrong with you. It's almost like some kind of conspiracy where everyone is on drugs and becomes submissive.
olol
[QUOTE=Sgt Doom;35076406]Considering it's primary purpose is to treat high blood pressure, it's not the kind of thing that one would want [I]everyone[/I] to be drinking. Best to figure out exactly [I]why[/I] this particular drug has this effect, then work on replicating it without the blood pressure effects.[/QUOTE]
Even if you could find out how to do it without the blood pressure effect, it still wouldn't be right to start shoving mind altering chemicals into the water, that's virtually mind control.

It's ok to forcibly change someones opinion as long as it changes it to an opinion that we agree with.

its not just that, racism has health impact. by health impact I mean getting punched out every now and then.
[QUOTE=JoeSkylynx;35072569]Add this as an additive too all drinking water across the world.[/QUOTE]
I rated you funny because I really hope you're joking.
Oh cool I used to take propanolol! I wonder what the effects will be on Native Americans like myself. The only test groups WERE white males, which is odd.
Maybe I will turn into John Redcorn :v:

alot of natives in my area bitch about the whiteman, so I guess increased hatred towards the whiteman for being white and a man
I can't help but feel drugging the populace isn't a particularly ethical solution to racism.
I mean, freedom of speech is everything these days. Thoughts of racism should be anihiliated through logical teaching, not supression of thought.
[QUOTE=Mr. Someguy;35073023]Am I the only one here that thinks forced drugging of a population to change their opinions is a [I]very[/I] bad thing?
I get it, greater good and all, but I definitely wouldn't advocate this approach.[/QUOTE]
I think this might lead to something worse.
We need to get Ghost some of these.
Don't like this very much either. That's the question the Assassins' Creed games have dealt with, haven't they? The 'Templars' want to bring world peace and order - By manipulating everyone's free will.

Everybody is racist to varying degrees, even myself.
There seems to be this attitude amongst some people that "racists" are just a bunch of blithering lunatics that border on the fringe, and that everybody else is free of racially malevolent thought. Unfortunately, the average racists are people like you and I (which is what makes racism so damaging). However, despite how difficult it might be to overcome certain prejudices, it is not impossible to do so. This is why I dislike this thread so much, because it helps contribute to the notion that racists are like some weird alien entity, and thus discourages them from trying to change their ways.

Can't tell if sarcasm.
0.05% is A LOT for something like cancer. Or is this some secret plot where racists get cancer?
[QUOTE=Hiruty;35085044]Breaking news: It can increase cancer risk by 0.05%! Don't take this drug[/QUOTE]Source? I haven't read about such a thing, in fact, I've read [url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19387337]quite the opposite.[/url]
Tolerance is a nice way of saying no standards.

people don't argue to learn man, they argue to get on top and make themselves look right
