I suppose you *would* have to come up with a new method for killing people. Global sterilisation, maybe. That way you don't rob anyone of their life, but you ensure the extinction of the species. Seems a nicer way of doing it (cheaper gas bills, too).

I'm not comparing sex to killing. But what happens to a species if you render every single member incapable of reproduction? Does the same job as killing everyone would, but without actually killing a single person. Takes longer than actively killing them would, but more humane, in a way.

I think I'd pay some Dutchman to set fire to Lord Snowden.

You said the sex threads were comparable to this.
Nope, I didn't. Gbollard said that. I followed on from it by suggesting using sex (or lack thereof) as the means to exterminate humanity.

Yeah, definitely a Nehru jacket - and maybe dress up that flag - isn't that a Buddhist symbol? How about something with, oh, a light spectrum, all the colors but especially indigo, because I like the way it looks.
