What are you talking about? Of course giving a young girl the opportunity to live is eugenics. They should just let her die /s

I had hoped that I wouldn't need to put /s after my comment, that the humor would've been apparent. I meant it as a joke "only saving lives" being the punchline, of sorts.

I meant it in the way that we live in a world where beauty and vanity are so much more important than actual important things. For example, teachers making tiny salaries for dozen have hour workdays, 7 days a week while celebrities and athletes make sometimes tens of millions a year.

My comment was supposed to be a joke. :*(

:D
