A while back, in a thread somewhere around here, I suggested sterilizing the lower classes.

It didn't go over well.

i feel elitist when talking to people like yourself but again you make assumptions about me, that the lower classes in western society are growing disproportionately is fact, not my opinion.

and call me an idiot all you want, its you who cant make any valid points or understand the meaning of basic words like selfish for example

it is something that comes across as ethnic cleansing, whereas it has very strongly debatable points that are valid, im not sure i advocate it personally or want to get into it here, too much typing to be fun

Well, some getting in a snit over this.  Kinda following Chad, I think everyone is selfish. It's the level from which the directive is issued that is key.


but hang it. i will! youve spurred me on!  Excellent danny!


PBJ: I think it's very likely your...okay, well, maybe not yours if they aren't healthy...but many peoples children, currently under say 15, may live to 100 or so. I plan on being around for at least a few centuries. But I think the endeavor is worth it, regardless.

Ed: hah! As have I with similar experience.

As curmudgeon (as well as I have) said, it's a matter of balance. Each person has to find that balance relative to their experience. The important part is that they try.
Another thing to consider is what you eat. People act like organic is this unnatural thing...well, that's cos it hasn't been the norm for several decades. But it's coming back around. Health in general is a factor in conservation. It's a part of that balance.

is this the case in the us is it?, in the uk organic food is a huge thing, its more costly and purchased by those who can afford it ,generally the higher social classes who are generally more concerned with their health.

obviously i say that at the risk of sounding elitist ,but some around here are unaware that i studied dietetics and human nutrition so have a good understanding of how a persons social class can affect their behaviour
