Does this ever happen to you hippies?

So you can help us..... did you feel pain?

 

no

 

Oops sorry, saw you answered that!

I let the excitement of talking to a tree get the better of me and I didn't read the other post

 

Are you a racist against concrete and metal, too?

 

That's cute.

 

This inspired me to get a juicer.

 

Really? I didn't??

Hmmm...

Perhaps you didn't grasp that the solutions needed will be needed if it starts now OR if it waits til the earth is shoulder to shoulder people.

You said that we shouldn't kill any more nature to provide room for people... so tell me then... what do you do?

Personally, I would like to see this planet change to a sustainable model and last forever with humans evolving here for another couple of millennia.

Unfortunately, that isn't possible as we are now, and it isn't getting better, it's getting worse. More and more people are born each and everyday. Those people need space to live in. So if you can't get them off planet, and you don't want to kill them, what other choice is there but to make more space for them?

Odd... I don't remember saying, give me the answers to everything. I asked for your answer to the issue we were discussing.

 

The obvious solution to all of this is to just start killing people, we have enough, start by killing the old ones, I'm ready to go..

Peace

 

I'd much rather see it based on a merit system then age...

we would need to keep the best across the spectrum of people, some young some old and some in between....

Then the problem is, who decides what those merits are, and who does the executions?

As much as I wouldnt have a problem with 95% of the population disappearing, I wont volunteer to do the killing...

 

I admit i get a little upset when somebody cuts down a tree..but being upset over a sliced orange...thats just insane

 

chief? is it you?!

 

Form a committee, and start out with the very posters on this board, sort them out by the substance and value of what they post, most would be dead by noon.. The executions could be done roboticly and in public..

Peace

 

But that stills doesnt answer who decides... Sure make a commitee, but who sits on it?

The results would be very different depending on who was on it, as well as how big it is.

That robotic idea though... that could work... although, it should be a robot that kills them, and recycles their body back into earth...

 

play musical chairs. whoever wins picks the committee.

 

I encourage you to put up a poll to see who sit's on the committee of life or death on this forum, it should be a revolving committee though as most of the members will kill each other off before long.. a three person committee would be best. This is urgant, trees are being killed as we speak, and posters here still live..

Peace

 

In that case, we might as well skip the committee and just go back to the idea of randomly killing people, seems the results wont be much worse and it eliminates the hassle of the committee.

Seems it is the fate of the human race we are talkign about, the best way (although the most difficult to do) would be to have a worldwide vote for the type of society that we wish to pass on. Such as a scientific one, a religious one, an artistic one and so on. From that result, choose a pool of a couple of hundred people from that walk of life and put them to a vote for a committe of say 15.

At least that way, there would be a focus amongst humanity. Keep in mind, that just because the committee all comes from a single path, doesnt mean the people they choose will all be from that same one.

 

i tend to avoid committees myself. randomness does appeal.

 

well, it would definitely be more fun that way...

 

also, i'd rather be surprised.
