Overpopulation Will Be The Death of Us ALL!!!

[Martyr]

We should eradicate the entirity of the worlds Poverty and send all of teh Convicts in the US to China and hype them up on steroids and Crack causing a war in the streets that will eventually spread throughout China and their population. With the Drugs now available to the the common man of China to a degree never thought possible we should send spies in to incite revolts among the drug users and cause wide spread destruction across China so they inevetably destroy themselves. Not only will this remove convicts from america, but eliminate a large portion of the world population.

With the completion of this step we should launch an asault against india and use the land for cattle farming to feed our ever growing hunger.

Doing things morally and naturlaly are for the week.

Cuba did something like that already, and, in the end, all we got out of it was Scarface and a transformed South Florida. Oh, and the Cuban Missile Crisis.

We don't need to make enemies with China. We need Genocide. (I mean, if your plan is going to work. I'm not suggesting anything...)

I think that would only be true if the dominant paradigm in the society were that of capitalism. There are other paradigms that have hardly ever been explored.

And we're capitalists, so we don't much care for the government forcing anyone to have any particular job. Being, you know, freedom-loving and that.

The answer is technology and space. Nanotech + genetics + terraforming Mars = massive boosts already. The further afield we go the more resources we have to exploit.

Some people believe we already have secret underground tunnels on Mars, you know?

Experimenting on people?!

Death sentence for being poor...?

That's just twisted logic. Do you know what we call those people? Nazis. We call them Nazis.

What we need to do is take personal responsibility.

Down with the global culture!

In any case I think people who can't afford children should not pop out babies. It's curious to me that so many people with poverty or near-poverty income have so many children. I may be discriminating against poor people, but tough. If you can't afford to financially support children, don't have them.

I don't know what it's like in America, but I know here a lot of council house people just have a [img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img]load of babies and then sponge child benefits off the government, and they make a lot of money doing it, too. It's completely retarded, but there's not a fat lot you can do about it.

>>> The poor people has the same rights as everyone else. Is that so hard to understand?..

Experimenting on animals is fine. Experimenting on rapists makes you a nazi..... An I've got twisted logic!

if we were concerned with overpopulation, there would be provisions made to help the world. the problem is most people don't care...i sure don't. if i get enough food and a warm place to sleep...why do i care if some kid in africa goes hungry?

look up norman borlaug...hope i spelled that right...he wasn't content to be fed and warm...and he saved so many lives...he's just one man with some help...think of what the entire population of north america could accomplish! overpopulated areas are like that because people stay in one place....do you have any idea how much space is in canada? the amount of people we could fit onto this giant landmass amuses me to no end

what are we at...7 billion?? thats nothin...mcdonalds has served more than that

[Millia Billia]

Can you imagine how unfunny and boring the world would be without dumb people? I would not like that much.

Yes, God forbid there wouldn't be another wasted TV slot of idiots running their motorbikes over homemade ramps or doing body slams off the roofs of their houses.

Actually, I'd be all too happy if that stuff disappeared (I hate reality tv, and television period, mostly because of reality tv). I was talking more along the lines of politicians and people undergoing legal battles.

Yeah they're all equally crazy. What's your point?

That... that... this is very, very special Whilst I'm of the opinion that the planet can sustain far more people than it currently does, I'm not sure that argumentum ad McDonalds is the best way to propound as much.

just trying to add some mirth to what i said...if someone reading that finds it invalidates what i said before it then i won't bother trying to defend myself

There is the problem of foreign aid. If America did dole out money for the poor lot of us, I've never seen a single cent. Yes, it never reaches the people who need it the most.

That's because the West's idea of "aid" to the Third World traditionally consists of sending money to their governments. Frankly, the governments are usually part of the problem; they're often directly responsible for kicking people off the land they used to use to grow all their food (at the behest of bribery from corporations, of course). Even sending food to the Third World doesn't help much; it perpetuates a state of dependence on aid. What should really be done with money sent to the Third World is to buy land for the people who are starving, then teach them agriculture so they'll be able to sustain themselves.

Actually poverty because of all these hoarding of resources isn't the solely the fault of the people of America. They have money, they spend it, eat a lot and avail of different luxuries.
They're first-world, they earned their state after years of history anyway. We just have to catch up.

Part of the reason you still need to catch up is because of deliberate actions by the west, so I'd say it's not all earned (especially considering the atrocities committed to the natives here in the first place).

And we're capitalists, so we don't much care for the government forcing anyone to have any particular job. Being, you know, freedom-loving and that.

I love it when capitalists imply that all other economic systems imply the absence of freedom. They always focus on the freedom to do things. That's all very well and good, but sometimes the freedom from things, like starvation and disease and ignorance, is just as important if not more so. If I'm a starving child in Zaire, I'm really not going to give a [img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img] that technically I have the freedom to make as much money as I want, because I'm never actually going to see any of it if I don't get enough food to survive until tomorrow, and even if I manage that, the economic system is stacked such that the chances of a starving child in Zaire becoming a multibillionaire are effectively nil.

When capitalists talk about freedom, they're nearly always talking about the freedom for themselves to hoard as many possessions to themselves as possible. Such a parochial and egocentric view of the world.

The answer is technology and space. Nanotech + genetics + terraforming Mars = massive boosts already. The further afield we go the more resources we have to exploit.

That's if we don't burn out all the resources we have on Earth first, which, increasingly, looks quite likely. That said, space exploration does seem rather promising, but it's probably never going to happen.

No one ever said that experimenting on animals was right. (MOOT!)
Experimenting on people is wrong, them being a rapist doesn't make it any more right.
And yes, yes it is. Twisted like a twisted thing.

We're supposed to be civilized human beings, the solutions we offer should be ethical and moral. It's easy to be angry at the world for being so frigged up. It's even easier to be angry at all the 'bad' people in the world who do terrible and bad things... but we shouldn't let our anger justify our own immoral actions.

Listen ... there's just a lot of wrong things in the world so it just seems that we each need to be responsible for making sure that someone is doing something right.
