The Human Genome Project is just renamed and repackaged Eugenics of the sort that led to over a quarter million forced sterilizations OF US CITIZENS, IN THE US, and ultimately led to the Nazi gas chambers.
Make no doubt about it, these folks are cultists of the worst type, funded by the worlds ruling elite. They want massive depopulation and world government.

Interestingly, there was an article on Salon lately discussing something similar: the physiological difference between Republicans and Democrats. Specifically, the Republicans studied showed an exaggerated fear response in the Amygdala, the ancient region of the brain which overrides reason and logic in the face of terror and paranoia. Liberals were much less fearful, and showed a significantly diminished "disgust" reaction, in comparison.
The best part is that eugenics - deliberately and artificially cultivating certain phenotypes to ensure a wider distribution - is as diametrically opposed to evolution - which favours high levels of diversity and NATURAL selection - as is possible. And yet anti-intellectuals will inevitably attack biologists and anything they do, deliberately ignoring that it was a painful ignorance of biology which led to eugenics in the first place.
Also, I still utterly fail to see what would be so bad about a world government, and this planet desperately needs a lower population.

I would love a link to that study, if you please would. I severely doubt the conclusions are as definite as you imply, but it would be an interesting read.
That there were many forced sterilizations in the U.S. as a result of the eugenics movement is true: see "War Against the Weak", by Edwin Black. The human genome project, however, isn't about that.
This isn't one of the Freepers' crazier ideas, taken in total, though.
Uh, no. Our knowledge of the facts about genetics has made things like forced sterilizations less likely, not more so. It's enabled us to dispel myths about what's passed on genetically and what isn't, and to screen pregnancies in-utero for serious disorders so that people who carry inheritable problems can give birth to healthy children.
But I can see how any Freeper would be worried about eugenics, seeing as how its promoters used to sterilize people of low intelligence and the mentally ill.
@#1401745: trust me, you don't want france in charge of the whole world. look at france's history. objectively, it's been on a hell of a decline since napoleon bonaparte's era. the XXth century is basically a humiliation conga applied to a country! even now, the government has its hands so tied up in the political arena that it's borderline ineffective at governing (not to say that it's that bad, but i hate status quos... i like progress).
a better idea would be to have the UN actually have some power and influence, but we know that ain't gonna happen anytime soon, unfortunately.
as an aside, freepers gotta freep...
I've often said that if anyone really wanted massive depopulation, all they'd need to do is get rid of seat belt laws, promote tobacco use, encourage everyone to eat fast food as much as possible, and get rid of anti-pollution laws. You'd see the population decrease very quickly, but for some reason the government never does any of this.
This is dumb.
Really really dumb.
Sentinel, I heard Alex Jones say this, word for word, in 2004. If you're going to steal someone else's schtick, at least pick someone more trustworthy than Jones. He's a BAD guy.
You do know that the human genome does instantly grant the genetic sequence of everyone on earth, right? Just because I know what is in a deck of cards does not tell me what hand you were dealt.
So I don't know how they would even determine which people are are subject to your bullshit theory of forced sterilization. Despite what you see on CSI, getting someone's DNA is harder than it looks and it takes longer than five minutes to sequence it.
No, no, it's the Human *Gnome* Project. They don't want to kill off people, just to make them more compact.
....why does mapping the human genome automatically equal eugenics and sterilization? I mean, you're missing lots of crazy steps in between those two things if you want it to follow.
Oh, and Godwin.You lose on that alone.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
