Shortly after I first came to EvC I ended up getting into a debate with Syamsu. I was politely warned not to bother as it would end up going nowhere.
I went round and round for some amount of time (I should note it was not on this topic). Eventually I learned my lesson... the advice had been wellfounded.
Syamsu every once in a while has some credible commentary, but there are a few subjects that he holds so dear to his heart there simply is no communication. Social-Darwinism happens to be one of these subjects.
You can always try and tear down his wall, but don't knock yourself out trying to do so.
Thus I third MrH's recommendation.

Believe me, we do not miss the inane basics of your argument. But you are correct that after repeating those inane basics endlessly, and finally calling our serious arguments drivel (in odd comparison to your inane ones), we become your sulking detractors.

Should it be reproduce more then the other, or should it be reproduce or not reproduce?
It should simply be "not reproduce" any more of these wasted moments in life, arguing with a person who will not only contradict himself and not notice, but finally ends in ad hominem and silence.
Every once in a while you have a point Syamsu, and you may always be interested in interesting topics. The problem seems to be that when it comes to this Social-Darwinism thing, or socialism in general, you lose your mind's good footing.
For a person railing against those who do not look for evidence discrediting their own position, you manage to miss a truckload when its delivered right before your eyes.

Showing yet again just how much you ever listened to me.
I own my own business you jackass. I have nothing against free market economies and believe there is nothing evil about free enterprise. I champion free enterprise.
I am also for removing all government control from personal lives. I champion freedom from government parentalism.
My only advocacy of socialism was for... oh what's the point?
Forget I said anything. Go back to sleep.
