Condemnation by the Quakers[edit]

I'd like to go more in detail about Galton being condemned by his religion for manufacturing weapons and being a part of the slave trade. Apparently his defense was basically "a man's got to make a living and Britain is constantly at war so it's a citizen's duty to contribute". — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jackthemitch (talk • contribs) 17:43, 3 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Personal Interests[edit]

I'm adding a bit about his personal interest in animals and the few books he wrote about them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TechnoChemist (talk • contribs) 17:39, 3 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

ce[edit]

Sentence from current article (November 2019) reads: "Despite being a Quaker he was an arms manufacturer."

But... but... but that's the sort of thing that Quakers do do. Why so surprised? They're not all chocolate makers, btw.

"Despite being an Anglican, he was an arms manufacturer."

"Despite being a Muslim, he was a nuclear arms manufacturer."

"Despite being a Jehova's Witness. he distilled some damn good alcohol in the back room."

"Despite being an unhinged sociopath, he became Prime Minister."

"Despite WP:SD, someone wrote some utter nonsense."
