“Ni**er

Can a ni**er kill a honkie

Can you kill
Can you piss on a blond head
Can you cut it off

A ni**er can die

“I think President George W. Bush, I think Cheney, I think Rumsfeld, I think all of these people have lost any moral integrity. I find what we are doing is hugely immoral…Al-Qaeda tortures. We torture. Al-Qaeda’s killed innocent people. We kill innocent people…We have no business doing what we do.”

“[I]f you can breed cattle for milk yield, horses for running speed, and dogs for heralding skill, why on earth should it be impossible to breed humans for mathematical, musical, or athletic ability? I wonder whether, some 60 years after Hitler’s death, we might at least venture to ask what the moral difference is between breeding for musical ability and forcing a child to take music lessons. Or why is it acceptable to train fast runners and high jumpers but not to breed them?”
- Richard Dawkins
“[W]e’re not the brain, we are a cancer on nature.”

“[To conserve scarce resources, there is a] responsibility to end one’s life in the absence of any terminal illness . . . a duty to die even when one would prefer to live. . . . A duty to die is more likely when you have already lived a rich and full life. You have already had a full share of the good things life offers. . . . To have reached the age of, say 75 or 80 years without being ready to die is itself a moral failing, the sign of a life out of touch with life’s basic realities.”
- John Hardwig , 1997.
