Dangerous Ideas

What are your most dangerous ideas?

I use the term as it has been used by rulers to describe ideas which were destabilizing to society

Ideas which defy convention? Ideas which are threatening? Ideas which you rarely voice for their lack of popular support or rejection in what is considered polite company? Such things are the catalyst of civilization!

For reference, one of the most recent “dangerous ideas” was (Though it was later revealed as only musing) that the population of earth should be forcibly lowered.

So which poltergeists nestle in the back of your mind? :eek:

"Ideas are more powerful than guns. We would not let our enemies have guns, why should we let them have ideas?"
-Josef Stalin

Maybe not a "dangerous idea" in its own right, but still a pretty damn good quote.

I once calculated just how much powdered milk and pudding mix it would take to convert Lake Superior into pudding along with a method of mixing it. :)

I remember something like that on NSG a few months ago. Yeah, I remember that.

Well there you go, Stalin promotes gun restriction and mind control..

A dangerous idea? Hmm.. well, I think all us neo-cons should just grab out guns, load them, and bust down doors and start putting rounds through liberal's heads. We know where they live. It wouldn't be THAT hard to track down people based on thier records, who they voted for, what memberships they're in, etc etc etc..

The few that get away would either stay in hiding, or move to Canada, either way, not our problem. Liberals love the idea of raping people's minds, but you can't rape a mind that's out of..;)

Don't want to think that much right now, but I believe the most dangerous idea to ever be formulated was the idea that all men are created equal.

I'm willing to bet that people who believe in that ideal have caused more war and destruction than Christianity. I'm further willing to bet that more people have died in the name of freedom than have died in the name of Allah.

It's a dangerous idea. But it must someday be finally realised.

Everyone rights.
And I mean everyone.
Might also include animals in there while I'm at it.
Gonna be odd reconciling animal rights and bestialist rights, though.

Bahh, all problems would be solved with my plan! Zoophyliacs are wholly liberal. (I know two of them..) And I only pretend I wouldn't strangle them with my barehands because I know I couldn't get away with it. I don't have enough support yet cause alot of the right-wing are rino pussies..

Death solves all problems--no man, no problem.

Well, considering the std rate, yep genious, I'd say that was a pretty dangerous idea you had there.

Well you see there chum, we could've easily stemmed the tide of STDs if schools were allowed to teach about protective measures (or parents get the backbone to teach it themselves, whichever comes first). Unfortunately a bunch of very anal people got together and decided that even teaching about sex and how to protect yourself would make you "go forth and fornicate" (because, y'known condoms only have a "60%" success rate :P), and therefore gutted the Health programs around the nation.

You can't do both, that is teach abstinence and protective measures.. That's like saying don't murder, but if you're going to do it, take these protocols so you don't get caught. It sends a confusing message.

...Because, of course, one can reasonably compare sex to murder.

I am a burgeoning nihilist, and that is the most dangerous idea of them all.
