The pure race for someone is always the one he belongs too, otherwise he must be very stupid, even in racist terms. :D

Never heard about 'brown genes' being generally dominant. There are still too many blonde and blue eyed people around for that being true. :confused:

Don't see what it is woth blonde hair and blue eyes. wouldn't a genetically pure race have brown hair and brown eyes, since those are the dominant genes?

To me, the answer is quite obvious: It looks far better, reads far better, and seems more striking and proper than a morass of mud brown. :D

Ahh, but then, looks aren't everything. What's a superior race, some idiot with blonde hair and blue eyes, or a person of any colour who is both physically and intellectually superior? Of course, maybe a superior race isn't that great. Maybe two races, a physical and a mental one is best. Co-dependancy, as the stong ones can't run a country, and the smart ones wouldn't dream of handling machines.

What is a superior race?
The answer is quite clear. Blonde hair, blue eyes AND physically and intellectually superior.:D Who says you can't have it all? ;)
Certain exceptions wood (;)) be made to include those with brown hair etc, but it is simply more photogenic, and does not clash with the uniforms. :lol:

;)

The co-dependant situation always mucks up when some prole starts getting filthy commie ideas that they are somehow destined for more than menial labour. The sheer affront of such a notion is enough to send me reaching for the snuff box!:D
 
My method would be to wait for an evil dictator type who favors blondes to take over and institute his policies. I would then use my position within his regime to take control and depose him offering a saner and slightly nicer version of absolute tyranny.

This is all just hypothetical right? You aren't going to publish this or anything? What does that little red light on the camera mean?
 
Mob rule. Anybody gets in my way, da boise'll rub 'em out.

Huh? Oh, the mob of people? Not the Mafia?

I hadn't thought of that...

I'll get back to you.:confused:
 
It's a bit problematic: how can you conquer a nation without an army? That implies that you already are a leader of another nation. And why should you want to be leader of two nations?

A Fagin-like voice is heard to softly sing:

"There once was a man
A very silly man
Who had the job of his dreams and faces,
A job that made him the envy of all:
Minister for Women and Alien Races
But foolish pride led to a very hard fall.
He thought he might somehow get the top post
But now it's he who squeals and screams the most!
Foooooooor, I am re-viewing
The situation.
This man betrays me
And thinks I won't see it...
Who will watch this department for me now???
I think I'd better think it out again!"

:D :lol:

(With apologies to Lionel Bart and Ron Moody)

Tread carefully, minion. People have fallen backwards off their chairs into the fiery pit for less. :mwaha: :mwaha:

You can't possibly think that that reffered to you, oh Dark One! Any similairity between the dictator I described and yourself is purely coincidental. In fact the left-wing biased media cut off the last part of my remark, which was how I would use my new position to install the ultimate Dark One on the throne in my place.

Clearly you can see in this new light that my full statement was one only of support and admiration. My coup was only to topple an imposter to your rightful throne.

If I have caused any offense, please accept my humblest appologies and know that I will serve you in whatever capacity you deem appropriate.
 
Snivelling grovel attempt accepted.
Welcome back to the fold.
I had Igor leave all the paper work in your office, along with some of those "women" that you enjoy so much :D :satan:
Just be careful. It doesn't take much to launch me into full blown parodies of numbers from "Oliver!", and by all reports, my attempts to hit Mark Lester's high notes are most excruciating. :D

If the co-dependancy succeds for just one generation, then, if properly nurtured, in either 'Brave New World' or 'The Republic' style, the lower creatures will not just know no other life but their own, but desire no other life. Just teach them the following: 'The higher people are far too smart for me. The make everything run. I'm not smart enough. I don't know their words, because they have more than three sylables. I'm glad I'm where I am.' Drum it into them from day one, and they won't get those horrid ideas of...'equality'.

I know quite a few people who do that to themselves all the time. While sad, it does make being above average a lot easier! ;)
