08/08/2007: "Japanese start eugenic loan plan"

A financial services firm in Japan has begun offering lower mortgage interest rates to "intelligent" customers.

If a couple are both employed in the 20 "high-value" professions listed by the company, they will be entitled to a major rate reduction.

[ Most loans are dysgenic. This is a nice change. ]

sounds like good news to me, because rewarding someone for intelligect and learning a good trade is a start though, now all Japan needs to do is start discourging miscengation and have mandatory sterilization for those suffering from genetic dieases

I'm forever the pessimist on here, but these loans seems to lack most of the basic principle qualities of anything eugenic.

"GE Consumer Finance Company is giving discounts to people who have good English or computer skills, and work in "high-value" areas such as the law. "

The loans are being given out to people who participate in economically beneficial industries. This has nothing to do with racial hygiene! There is a concept called 'thintelligence' that (forgot who) was coined not long ago...

If you want an example of economic "eugenics", one only needs to take the example of Ashkenazi Jews.

Thanks for listening.
