I have it figured out-Feed the homeless to the Hungry!

At the same time I ask-during tourist season, why can't we hunt them?

they won't let us... there's this thing called the "Law" that forbids us to hunt tourists. I'd love a nice roast tourist on christmas day!

Why not feed the rich to the hungry, and then confiscate their (the rich) property and use it to buy the homeless homes?

Why thank you. I won't mind a rifle, if you'll teach me how to shoot it.

Because 'rich' is a relative term - eat the richest people in the world, and then the second richest become the richest, and so get eaten, and so on, until you have one person left wondering if (s)he should eat him/herself, given that the entire world belongs to him/her.
On the 'you've been reading' tangent, you'd probably enjoy H.G.Wells' The Time Machine, as he has a bit of fun with evolution, social stratification, and dinner.

Jonathan Swift (1667-1745), author and satirist, famous for Gulliver's Travels (1726) and A Modest Proposal (1729). This proposal, where he suggests that the Irish eat their own children, is one of his most drastic pieces. He devoted much of his writing to the struggle for Ireland against the English hegemony.

In 'A Modest Proposal - For preventing the children of poor people in Ireland from being a burden to their parents or Country, and for making them beneficial to the Public' He advocates the poor Irish selling their 12 month old infants to the wealthy as a delightful alternative to turkey or ham.

Read it. It's still hilarious even by today's standards.

As for George Carlin, he's a well-known comedian in the States who always comes up with pithy (and quirky) little sayings like the one you put in about Tourist season. Here's another couple:
"Well, if crime fighters fight crime and fire fighters fight fire, what do freedom fighters fight? They never mention that part to us, do they?"
"Honesty may be the best policy, but it's important to remember that apparently, by elimination, dishonesty is the second-best policy."
I'll put some more in Basil Fawlty's 'Good Joke' thread later.

Feeding homeless people to the hunger wont work, not enough meat. Feed the Americans to the hungery, plenty of fat :P

Bad idea. Unless the meat is properly gutted. Tourists should not be eaten. Because tourist brings lots of money into the country, which is good for the country.

Countries like India, the people should bring their dead to the butchers, where they'll properly clean the body and take out the parts that could cause diseases, like the brain and the backbone.

better yet: give the unemployed jobs killing the homeless to feed to the hungry.

Nah, you only have to kill enough rich people to have enough to feed to the hungry and to have enough money to build homes for the homeless.

So if someone is homeless, unemployed, and hungry, what do you do with them?

They come from other countries, they are not safe. They have not been put up to the same standards as the locals. Sure, maybe they are Canadian, but you don't know if they really come from Canada or maybe they went somewhere else first.

Great. All we would need then is a big sign quoting Dantes The Divine Comedy: "Abandon all hope, ye who enter here". :p

(sarcasm/)Tempting as the idea of feeding the most bloated americans to the hungry, we should remember that such a mountain of lard would surely clog the arteries of the poor hungry and cause, in a most infortunate way, a wawe of heart and blood vessel problems. Surely we must prevent this form happening and instead feed the hugnry with athetes, who are mostly composed of firm muscle tissue, not fat. (end sarcasm/) ;)

I think the rich people would taste better than the homeless, too.

The homeless are rather savory. The sweat and pure misery of living in back alleys and sleeping on wet cardboard marinades well with lemons.
Not that I'd no, of course!
I'd never be so sick as to eat . . . eat . . .
I almost can't stomach the idea even, but I must say it.
I'd never be so cruel as to resort to . . . LEMONS! ;)
