I know that, decades ago, mental asylums were a pretty shitty place to be. But I think the right solution would have been to make them better, not just get rid of them and let them breed. I also know a lot of very normal/stable people got trapped in there.
I don’t disagree with improving mental health care, but holy shit does the line “let them breed” make me uncomfortable. In an ideal world, they could get support to the level which is needed and could live fulfilling lives which may or may not involve children. In this world, I still don’t want to sterilize anyone just because of their mental health (I’d extend that more broadly, but I could see the case for voluntary chemical castration in response to some limited number of crimes).
I don’t know if that’s actually what you meant or if you meant it more like “let the problem get worse,” though.
No one said sterilization. It’s difficult to have babies in an asylum… without major red flags.
I don’t know what word to use, So I’m just going to use the word crazy. I understand this is not the word people prefer to use. Have you seen how crazy people are in the United States? I don’t mean just over the top, I mean screaming and yelling in the street, shooting up schools, the list goes on. All of that behavior can be identified. And these days, I think maybe it would have been best if we locked everyone like that up, and did not allow them to fuck.
Yet another perfectly normal and rational MAGAt. I simply cannot understand why anyone thinks their collective are unfit to lead… 🙄

It should. This is straight up eugenics. No one should be making genetic fitness a priority when proposing state policy.
If you are conservative, you should be forcefully sterilized.
Can achieve the same thing by just removing safety labels, lol.

See like, you’re almost all the way there, but then say some eugenicist thing at the very end. Twice now. Just drop that one bit and you’re good.
Reword it for me so I don’t keep doing it. It has to be said, because that’s kind of the point.
