  • To be fair, since we’re talking about their historical militarism, we can definitively blame the French for being the reason English is so hard to learn and is an inconsistent, bad language all-around. Never forget 1066. Also, before we get the circlejerk going, let’s remember that the French government plays dirty just like everyone else, like their insanely unethical nuclear testing in the pacific and their later state-directed terrorism against new Zealand in an attempt to continue said nuclear malfeasance.

    ETA: (To be clear, as an american, I’d much rather be French right about now, but we need to be realistic. All humans are crappy in large groups when given unchecked power. I just want to be clear we should be hailing the French people, not the French government)




  • To call the natural process of mutation, literally one of the requirements for any genetic evolutionary progress, “deteriorating” is, at best, short sighted. Most mutations do nothing, most of the ones that do something don’t occur in the one sperm that makes it into the ovum, and most of those that do something and make it into the ovum cause an early termination before birth. Some of those that get through all of these hurdles are the ones that cause random genetic variation and increased diversity, without which we actually DO get things like Hemophilia or other sex-linked issues going rampant in any given gene pool. Evolution takes a LONG time to work, but it requires wet and moldable clay to sculpt.
