Smith doesn't like the article[edit]
but is intellectually honest enough to link back to it, which I didn't expect - David Gerard (talk) 07:46, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
eugenics[edit]
I don't see why this shouldn't link to eugenics. We argue there that eugenics may work for animals but won't work for humans. It's a perfect example of Human exceptionalism.--Coffee (talk) 21:23, 8 March 2014 (UTC)

- I don't see that article making that argument, & linking the two articles to each other under 'see also' doesn't make a lot of sense either. WěǎšěǐǒǐďMethinks it is a Weasel 17:43, 9 March 2014 (UTC)
- The article totally does: Eugenics#The absurdity of eugenics --Someon (talk) 21:38, 9 March 2014 (UTC)
- Then that article/phrasing should be changed, not this one. Adding a link to the "See also" section here smells too much of what Wikipedia covers under "Do not disrupt Wikipedia to make a point".--ZooGuard (talk) 08:32, 10 March 2014 (UTC)
- Sorry about that. I didn't realise I was editing Wikipedia.--Coffee (talk) 12:49, 22 March 2014 (UTC)
- The behaviour is stupid and counter-productive no matter on what site it's done.--ZooGuard (talk) 13:48, 22 March 2014 (UTC)
- (sigh) You want more than an apology?--Coffee (talk) 13:52, 22 March 2014 (UTC)
- If that was an apology, it was very poorly worded. The second sentence implied that the first one was sarcastic.--ZooGuard (talk) 13:55, 22 March 2014 (UTC)
- I'm starting to wonder if the concept of "humor" is totally alien to you.--Coffee (talk) 12:59, 23 March 2014 (UTC)
- The concept of "dickhead", OTOH, is depressingly familiar - David Gerard (talk) 14:35, 23 March 2014 (UTC)

- We could come up with a zillion things that we could then argue constitute "human exceptionalism". However, the article covers its use as a phrase - David Gerard (talk) 22:16, 9 March 2014 (UTC)
