If anything, maybe this will discourage dumb fricking people from having kids and not populate the world with more dumb fricking people.

That's the problem with dumb people. They don't know they're dumb.

Seriously? That's the last thing on their minds. They just want to get a nut.

Here's my question...unless the government or some agency institutes mandatory sterilization for such individuals as the one's described in the OP's post, how exactly do you prevent this from happening again?

I mean, chances are they are both going to continue to frick without proper birth control and consequently become pregnant again.

Holy shite this can become a slippery slope. For the record, I think sterilization is appropriate is certain cases (e.g., rapists).

A dumb person is not going to decide not to procreate because they're too stupid. That's a smart decision.

There's a great irony in making fun of Tennessee on a Louisiana sports message board

This is site is full of southerners making redneck/dumb/incest etc. jokes about other southerners. Quite funny though.

Unless there are severe deficits in adaptive functioning ( with those IQs there will not be that severe) that prevent them for caring for the children, this will be overturned on appeal.

More egghead liberals that probably have lower I.Q.'s than the parents they're persecuting. Perhaps these libs should go back to doing what they do best; worshiping Karl Marx and trying to be pedophiles.

an IQ of 70-80 is considered mental retardation

No. 70 and below is, along with adaptive deficits .

I wish we still used the old classification of moron/imbecile/idiot when it came to IQ. They were stages of mental retardation (also cannot use this word anymore) that stratified them by IQ.

Of course everybody below a threshold is now intellectually challenged, but you can't really tell how dumb they are by that moniker. Sorry for the George Carlin-esque rant.

Taking kids away because the parents are not very smart is fricked up. Taking away kids because the parents are literally retarded is fine to me. Preference should be given to family to take the children though with unlimited access by parents, but a mentally retarded parent can't provide primary childcare adequately.

I consider this to be a scary precedent.
