Should we kill the poor?!

LanceDriver · April 16th, 2013, 11:46 PM

It may help us financially. It would need to be combined with killing the sick and aged to get true savings!

There is a quote in the article that basically says that it's the fabulously rich that gives to society and the poor are just leeches sucking the life out and taking all they can, scumbags. Where there's smoke!

All trolls should be rounded up and shot

Mmmm, soylent green.

Serial whingers that sprout out any old bullshit on newpaper comments section and NIMBY's would be a good start.

Are we talking Australia wide or world wide? World wide would see more than half the world population culled. Not that that would be such a bad thing considering the destruction of this planet.

mubd · April 17th, 2013, 12:04 PM

I'm pretty sure that the 20% of the poorest would be able to overwhelm the top 1%.

Ha, they can't afford drones.

Wow 10 (66.67%) people on here say yes & only 5 (33.33%) People say no.

I wonder what would happen if this poll was put out there to the mass media.

I would think the poll was polarised the other way around with 66% NO & 33% saying Yes & 1% saying unsure.

I think the poll was in response to that news article for Australia's poor.

It would be very difficult to do this world wide, considering some countries probably may have more people poor than not poor.

Onijin · April 17th, 2013, 02:02 PM

Can we kill the terminally stupid instead?

Joelby · April 17th, 2013, 02:52 PM

Harvest their organs so the rest can continue their calorific slide into diabetus and heart disease...

castrovalva · April 18th, 2013, 07:02 AM

We need the poor to buy cheap, useless trinkets from the rich. That's one of the ways the rich get rich and the poor stay poor.

Same goes for the stupid, etc...

It's good for the economy.

Compared to rest of the world, being poor in Australia is not really poor. It's just a poor mismanagement of money on a persons behalf here which ensures they remain in the rut that they are in.

This has been done before.

"A Modest Proposal for Preventing the Children of Poor People From Being a Burden to Their Parents or Country, and for Making Them Beneficial to the Public"' by Jonathan Swift.

But no surprises that Swan didn't get it.

What about if everyone can live a full and enlightened life from say 30th June 2013. The only condition is no more children are born from anyone...Then as time passes all the economics change bit by bit and people are employed dismantling cities etc. Then ...moving right along the last humans die and nature envelops the Earth ( without Humans )...WOW not one living human to complain if someone types more than three dots but what a wondrous world...really.

Tell me where this is wrong ? Note : I don't bring financial wealth of a single person as a parameter : )

oh and yeah, I get the sex thing may be a problem...masturbation...look it up OK .

Some poor do need to be exhausted though, like a lot of the leeching housos who contribute nothing. Some poor have potential, although this is rare, so there needs to be a filter so that the few good ones are kept and enhanced.
