Some facets of this debate I'd like to address:

1) Aren't the Snow Elves were half in the right; if you suddenly had a violent, quick to anger, and self-idolising rat infestation in your house, would you want them to breed you out of your home?

2) That quote of Ayrenn's is suspiciously like Warhammer's Eldar... sorry to be a bit off topic, but isn't that just a superiority complex manifesting itself right there?

3) Just because a race, or should I say Culture, is more, "Intelligent," than some others does not make the race more intelligent, it is only something that defines the race's current standing; would you say that the 4th Era Falmer are very intelligent? No, not really, compared to what they once were. Take a Breton, Imperial, Khajiit, Nord, Altmer, Bosmer, Dunmer, Orc, and Argonian child, (maybe even a Dwemer kid if you can drag them out of Aetherius,) and isolate all of them from everything since their birth, with the staff wearing large, bulky, and voice/appearance disguising gear; keeping them as isolated as possible, give them mostly the same meals, give them all a single way to pass their downtime, train them all with the same lessons, alone, (that is, without other identifiable races present, but staff included,) in education, martial prowress, and magicka. When all of them have been raised to an age just past young childhood, where they all are abled beings, and test what they are able to accomplish. What happens then, I ask you? Here's a quote for you: "I now know, that the circumstances of one's birth are irrelevant. It is what you do with the gift of life that determines who you are."
