      Eugenics? C’mon! It’s not like they were trying to breed some kind of Übermensch, like some kinda Nazis. Get real.

      (reads Dune)

      Oh. Oh my. Well.

      Yes, but to them it’s like breeding wolves to make domestic dogs.

      Eugenics is getting rid of a race … the BG are trying to get rid of man’s ability to do evil.

          In Dune? Yes, the evil and brutal houses are still there. Mostly because Jessica messed up the breeding program. She basically made an uncontrollable war god that killed trillions.

            Is reading comprehension that bad? No, there are still wolves around in real life because we didn’t kill the original species/gene pool of dogs, so it’s not genocide when we made wolves into dogs. Making men docile through genetic manipulation, such as breeding, is still genocide because making sure the original race/Genepool of normal/violent men is eradicated is the end goal.

              Are debate skills and communication that bad? I agree comprehension is lacking, but that is only because you are trying to debate a tactic you know nothing about.

              The BG do not genetically manipulate everyone, that would be impossible. They are just trying to create a god tier guard dog caste of humanity loyal to them and thus force all the other “wolves” to heel.

              Pulling teeth is not genocide. People like you think that that the domestic pig is the most common species and that we have all but eliminated the tusked variety … with no clue that the farmer actually just pulls those teeth so they never grow.
