Survival of the fittest is a term that in no way means what your saying it does. Its about genetic evolution and the ability to adapt to climate/conditions local to any certain species.

Like I said, you have no idea what 'Darwinism' actually is. Social Darwinism is a recent term that has nothing at all to do with the theory that Charles Darwin put forth. Its uneducated fools who used the term for something that actually has nothing to do with the concept in its original form.

Well I'm glad I gave you the opportunity to call me an uneducated fool. After all, you have always seemed to hold a grudge against me for whatever reason.

Look up Social Darwinism to see why I mentioned it. It's a political/sociological concept that has nothing to do with evolution, so I'm not even sure why you went there. I guess maybe it's because I also used the phrase "Darwin's Law" or "Darwin's Rule".......But I used it in the same way everyone else uses it -- To describe an idiot who owns himself by doing something stupid. This isn't biology class, it's a fucking motorcycle board.....we don't need to be accurate about what Darwin actually meant. It's a pop culture phrase which is used quite regularly, at least down here.

And you really think you're the only one who knows how evolution works? You must think people are really stupid if you think that they see the word "fittest" in the phrase "survival of the fittest" and assume that it means that the most athletic animals survived. It's just a fucking phrase, dude.
