In general we have removed the positive effects of natural selection from our society

So by this logic, you're going to stop going to the doctor and taking medicine when you are sick? If you break a leg or get blinded in an accident someone should just dump you in a remote area to go and die? If we're going to live by natural selection that's what would have happened to you thousands of years ago before civilization.

This is as stupid as the nerds going on and on about Eugenics but only if it'd be applied to someone other than themselves.

The only thing funny is your laughable knowledge of cryptography. 128-bit symmetric-key crytography (such as AES) is very secure. You seem to be confusing it with asymmetric-key cryptography where 128-bit would be mostly a joke.

Trying to brute-force AES-128 even with the best known attack has a computational complexity of 2^126. Good luck in getting that done anybtime soon.

70% of domestic violence is perpetrated by women

That is not even remotely close to what the link actually says. The 70% figure was quote-mined from this larger context:

Almost 24% of all relationships had some violence, and half (49.7%) of those were reciprocally violent. In nonreciprocally violent relationships, women were the perpetrators in more than 70% of the cases.

So sorry, this isn't saying 70% of all domestic violence is by women. It's saying that 70% of cases that account for half of domestic violence cases are perpetrated by women. Which when you work that out makes only 35% of all domestic violence cases. A figure that is half of what you claim.

Did you really think no one was going to read your link?
