Is the human race weakening

this thread is a lil old but i think its an interesting discussion.
i think wat we should really be doing is talking about how we could make the human race better if we believe it isnt. things could only become better or worse over time. nothing stays stable forever. and with everyone living and no real evolutionary pressures, i dont think we are getting much "fitter". (if u disagree, please explain how we are genetically becoming better) also we are humans, not fish, we cant cull the weak . so only eithical solutions should EVER be considered. there must be eithical ways for bad genes to be takin out of the population. so wat do u ppl think should be done?
 
i got to page 7 before i had to write this..

ok when i was living with my grandparents ( or any of my relitives for that matter fter my mom died ) i was forced to take drugs ( perscribed drugs from the docs ) for my depressive and obbsesive disorder but now that im living on my own i dont even take drugs anymore ( well my sleeping meds when i stay at my grandparents when i stay the night to help them ) but im fine as can be and been on my own for 2 months! i will never take the depressive drugs or obbsisve drugs! heck i dont drink regaler soda anymoe ( once in a while i will ) just diet. and its been bout a month since i had energy drink ( today i just bought 2 energy drinks ) and ill tell the truth i dont eat healthy much either ( and im 5 foot 8 and weight 187 ) so im not the fittest at all either... and yes i do think our race is becoming weaker but every generation is becoming smarter though! just think 10 years ago we didnt even have wireless internet! now we have do! anyways on to somthing else.

my mom died of cancer ( as most of you already know ) and she was *sadly to say* a guinnie pig to the cancer treatments which i think made her die faster then she would have if she didnt take the treatments. if i ever had cancer id just go day by day of living my life, if the higher power wants me sooner then i wanna die then i guess it will be my time but i sure as heck wont be no guinni pig to any experiments!
*rant over on the 2nd statement*
 
It's not as bad as we'd like to think. Think about wild populations. Nutrients/prey become suddenly abundant and many specimens are suddenly surviving and reproducing when they would normally have died. Well, this might go on few a season or two, but then some jerk dumps oil into their food chain and suddenly the weak die, leaving only the strong. So if the world went nuts tomorrow and people started dropping like flies, we'd quickly become a much stronger species. In general.
 
I think the human race is too. Basically you can survive and live a pretty long life unless something really bad happens (you explode, cancer, or car accident) but that isn't keeping the population low enough, it's still shooting through the roof. I remember i was thinking about this before and war IS BAD but maybe the do it on purpose to keep the human population under control :)
 
Natural selection is logical and makes sense... but when are humans the most logical and natural of beast.

If we followed what nature intended then we would kill off weak young, let the old die, be selfish and do whatever it takes to be the top dog.
 
we should learn from our fish! fish chose the best mate to populate with! and if the S/O fish isnt doing its job he/she either gets killed/pounded or hurt. fish chose the best mate to populate with..

anyways i have to say this,,

ok i have a really bad geninitic disorder that i inherited from my dad and he inheritied from his dad and so on anyways i have a slow learning disorder and i also have no mussle at all in my eyelids and i look like the japenesse ppl or whatever so in a few years before i even think aboaut *doing it* i am getting myself fixed so i dont bring any poor kids to this world that would go through the shame i wnt through my whole life. so when i save enough money up im goin to get myself fixed.

i decided to vote no, if we were becoming weaker our lifespan would be shortening and our population would be shrinking.

we are the fittest we have ever been in a evolutionary sense.




there you go science(me ;)) has spoken.

you sure our era is the fittest in the history of mankind? The only reason you think lifespans of humans have increased because of the advances in medical technology..We are so focused in creating cures for diseases instead of preventing them..You think we'd easily catch any disease if we pick our food right? We eat too much meat loaded w/ preservatives, fats, sugars, MSG, any many other slow poisons..We also probably don't get our 8 hrs of sleep everyday and rely on caffeine to give us energy and focus...We probably don't drink at least 8 glasses of water a day..We drink carbonated liquids loaded w/ sugar, soda, coffee, and other freakin' drinks that are a poor substitute for water because most of us think water is "boring".. Inactive lifestyle also plays a major part in the weakening of the human race. We have a particular object which does a particular thing for us.. From escalators to elevators to cars to television and other stuff..Also, radiation from cellphones and microwaves probably give us cancer and food today has very little nutritional value..We think we are making our life better with these inventions but we aren't.. When God created man, He provided him with all the things he needed from fruit bearing plants pleasing to the eye and good to eat, to the woman which helped man..God created man in his own image so we can do better than this..All we need is God..Adam had a lifespan of almost 1000 years..So how can you say we are the fittest we have ever been? When we thought we don't need God and tried to live w/o him and thinking we can do everything ourselves we were screwed from that moment on..And this is the result..Do you really think we need all of today's modern inventions? Do you really think we need transplants or cures for cancer if we did what God wants us to do and lived healthy..What we are now is far from what God created us to be..Remember we were created in hi own image and likeness..GOD BLESS YOU ALL AND HAVE A NICE DAY:)
