    I believe that work should begin creating a vaccine that will prevent racism. This may sound far fetched, but I think with the advances in technology it would be achievable. The vaccine, once created, should be then added to the list of vaccines that are administered to all children.

    A vaccine to prevent any perception of racism where none exists would also be good.

    BAM!
    Capture them and Strap them down.

    So you're anti anti-vaccine-ists?

    I hate racism! I'd love to see a great big melting pot in Ireland "Coffee coloured children by the score" (Blue Mink) It just did'nt happen in other countries & unlikely to happen in Ireland. There will always be divides with the natives & the immigrants.

    And what happens if the black children get administered it first, Mister Clever Man??

    A vaccine for racism is as ridiculous as a vaccine for poor people to make them rich.

    Being against murderous rampaging isn't racism.

    Technology, to control other peoples opinions you say?

    I don't foresee any possible issues with that none what so ever....

    ...I'm not programmed to sure.

    It exists.

    Essentially, most vaccines are a lesser form of the target disease that build up the necessary antibodies. Some people may have initial adverse reactions. Vaccinate everybody, and the disease is essentially eradicated.

    Turn this to racism. If everybody practises a lesser form of racism, i.e. telling the odd joke, but not outright discriminating against the subject of said joke, it is a start. The odd person might have an initial adverse reaction to a joke, but eventually will build a thicker skin. However, everybody of every race will need to make jokes about every other race, but not quite discriminate against any race in particular, then racism will eventually be eradicated.

    To quote John Lennon: "Imagine all the people living life in peace. You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one". But there will always be some tinfoil hat-wearing fcuker that will blame the racism vaccine on autism.

    But the vaccine will cause em chemtrails and em things. Its on the internet now so it must be true.

    As a social problem, I think racism is blown completely out of proportion.

    There's already one temporary vaccine against racism:
    ... Take your lighter coloured or Irish partner in with you wherever you go.

    One gets less or zero comments; actually gets acknowledged and other weird stuff happening.

    Unfortunately the effects of that particular vaccine evaporates when one is alone.

    ... except for Kilkenny of course... people there tend to shout abuse from moving vehicles if you're a mixed race couple. Tends to spoil the whole effect of the Cat Laughs comedy festival.

    There's always one...

    ... now queue someone suggesting not doing the above.

    They need to screen it at airports and refuse entry if necessary.
