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.


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.


Oh. I wasn't talking to you then when I said that. You confused me

Well, as a general rule, I don't find anything offensive. I know people on this board will argue with that, but I've always tried to protect the feelings of others - so my "offensive material" posts on this board have always been about making the site more "friendly for others" not about what offends me.

anyway...

I wasn't thinking in moral terms - I was thinking in yuck/sticky/urgh type terms.

If someone did something to my children - molested etc.. I think I would kill them - plain and simple. I wouldn't have an issue with going to jail for it either. I don't see any morality issues in the removal of dangerous elements from our society. I know other people do - I just don't - sorry... I'd rationalize it internally by saying that by removing the cancer I stopped it from infecting others.

I'd like to be nice about it, but I just can't. There's probably something psychologically wrong with me other than aspergers.

Would you get rid of all the bullies and ignorant people? Would you get rid of all the pedophiles, child molestors, criminals, etc.?


Actually if I was Hitler, I was get into serious consoling and fast. I would get as much help as I possibly could. And I would try to have painting as a thereputic way to blow off steam.

If I became Hitler, I'd be dead. :? And he lost the War, anyway; so all of my aims would have come to nothing.

"I wasn't thinking in moral terms - I was thinking in yuck/sticky/urgh type terms."

That is to say you aren't thinking in terms of revealed/special morality, but rather in terms of internal/general morality.


If I were Hitler, I'd settle for my own piece of land and raise cows peacefully.

Let's just say the human race would ultimately become docile, intelligent, small and gracile.

Think: grey aliens.

If I was Hitler in America, I'd probably kill anyone group of people that p***** me off simply because I'm raving mad. :evil:

In court, I would plead insanity. Then, while in an institution I'd have a book published that no one could forget. Eventually a very few but powerful people would read my book and agree with my crazy thinking. :twisted:

Ohhh... brace yourselves, people!

1. Religious extremists.
2. Americans who refuse to learn
English. ("U" isn't a scary letter.)
3. Petty criminals - those who
radomly assault people, etc.
4. Rappers, R&B artists, gang
culture.
5. Star Trek.
6. Most metal bands.
7. Scene kids.
8. People who earn more than me
for playing ball games.
9. The money and status-obsessed
middle classes.

10. Filthy-rich people who are still
greedy.
11. Hippies.
12. Bob Dylan.
13. The EU.
14. American racists.
15. British racists.
16. Glasgow.
17. Russell Brand.
18. Ex girlfriends.
19. Middlesbrough (UK)
20. Anyone who disagrees.
21. Conspiracy theorists.
22. People who live off the welfare
state but still complain about
the government.
23. Fox News.
24. Fish.
25. Panda enthusiasts.
26. Anti-(anything) protesters.
27. PETA... idiots.
28. Vegetarians other than for
medical reasons.
29. Anti-abortionists.
30. Finished.

Oh, and also... I'd introduce a birth licence. I think it's ridiculous that if you want to own a TV, drive a car, fire a gun, sell tobacco or sell alcohol you need a licence, but complete f**k-wits can have as many imbecile children as they wish and go unchecked for it.

I want to cure "stupid".

Vote for me :wink:
