No. Globalisation has exposed the population to the variety of diseases that exist world-wide, diseases that once existed in isolated regions are now exposed to the world. "More genetic disorders" is from the fact that with such a massive population comes the increased likelyhood that genetic coding will mutate, become damaged, or be defective will be evident in one of the thousands born daily.

Aside from the fact that plagues would be health problems...people today don't have to worry about minor illnesses wiping out an entire town. We don't rely on draining the "bad blood" from a person to cure them of flu symptoms. We don't burn people as punishment for placing a hex on the ill. People are living longer today because health problems have become minor due to medicine. We understand why people get sick. Oh but that's right, the bible says Mosha was hundreds of years old right? That's what you're basing all of this on, isn't it?

Right. Today, we're so much worse than the days of old, where warring villages would eliminate one another, people would sell each other into slavery, rape and spousal abuse was common, and protected by the law in many cases, and that murder was alright, as long as the victim did something to dishonor you. You're very correct there sir. It's not like an increasing reach of news sources is allowing for us to become increasingly aware of more and more situations and crimes, no siry, that can't be it. I'm glad you're here to educate us Gold, keep it up.

Durrrrrrrrr

There's also a chart of the violent crime rates with the release of DOOM on there (which is about the time it started to drop)

This thread is a perfect example of why SF_GoldG_01 shouldn't be allowed to post anything anywhere ever again for any reason. God, SF_GoldG_01, just drop it. You are not going to convert anybody. Nobody cares what you think, your ability to contribute to a worthwhile debate in this field simply doesn't exist, and all of your posts are rife with logical fallacies, consistency errors and spelling mistakes.

This has nothing to do with us disagreeing with what you believe. You're just such a poor representative of it that you should be drawn and quartered. I'm pretty sure even other Jehovah's Witnesses think you're a waste of carbon, after how well you've portrayed them on this forum. Please never post in threads about religion ever again. Stick to your movies or 3d models or mmorpgs or whatever it is you claim to do.

Jon'C,

I too think that Gold posts a lot of nonsense. But you cannot seriously argue that he shouldn't be allowed to post it. All you're doing is personally attacking him, which isn't exactly a valid argument, and if you will, even a 'violation' in a debate. Not to mention that it is unfriendly, disrespectful, intolerant and even elitist the way you put it.

If you were in charge, only the educated would have freedom of speech.

Stop getting so worked up about what Gold says, who cares.

Oh, that would be so nice. Imagine living in a world where idiots aren't allowed to talk. It would be glorious, and you say it as if it were a bad thing.

because freedom of speech does not mean you can go somewhere to deliberatly piss people off without punishment. this forum does not need to obey the first amendment of the united states constitution anyway, as there are people that are outside the U.S. here. So it would nt be fair to give some people the rights to do something, but not allow someone from another country to do something that their nations constitution gives them the right to do. So that is why the website owner is the one that makes the rules.

I would say that MAN can't determine it, as well that God invented freaking time, so he can determine whatever the hell he wants. :p

The owner is from America, and the servers are in America.

... and end thread now? I think so.
