Let the poor people kill each other off.

Now before you get your panties in a bunch, let me explain myself here.

Its almost a 110% proven fact that poor people are more likely to be found guilty of committing crimes, especially violent ones. So, I propose that we pull police protection from those areas and let them kill each other off. This would help the rest of society out in four major ways

1)Eliminate the social burden of welfare, which in turn would allow tax payer money to go into something more beneficial, like the military or national security.
2) It would rid our society of the most vile of people. Imagine a world where there are no poor people committing crimes. Sounds fantastic.
3) Our prisons would viritually be emptied after a while, as after all the poor people are dead,there will be hardly anyone left to commit crimes.
4) The Human population would decrease rapidly, allowing for the revival of earth and its resources.

Think about it. A few years of inner city death and destruction can lead to a future of riches, peace, and a cleaner, healthy earth.

No, I doubt it is. Got anything to back this "fact" up?

Sorry, poor people have rights too.

1)Eliminate the social burden of welfare, which in turn would allow tax payer money to go into something more beneficial, like the military or national security.
If you start cutting away rights from people because they don't have enough money then there won't be a nation to defend. And what about all the recruits the army gets from poor areas?
2) It would rid our society of the most vile of people. Imagine a world where there are no poor people committing crimes. Sounds fantastic.
I'd rather a world with poor people than a world where you only get rights if you can afford them.
3) Our prisons would viritually emptied after a while, as after all the poor people are dead,there will be hardly anyone left to commit crimes.
But your cemeteries would be overflowing.

Yeah, but what's stopping them from spreading it to the rich and wealthy areas?

Think about it - nice idea, but without a specific area (i'm not talking about wrestling/staged deathmatch) where the bums and hobos are in their greatest numbers, they could take their killing into the rich and wealthy society. For example, I don't think the owner of a mansion would like it if his/her front yard were to be subject to an all out deathmatch and not clean it up.

And after a while, you'll probably have to start all over again, since nothing ever can stop crime altogether.

A ritual killing of the poor every few decades isn't a great idea, since I, for one, am poor, even though I would never resort to crime myself.

What lies? Poor people commit more violent crimes, are over populating the prison system, and overtaking the cities. What if we let them kill each other off? What harm comes to middle and upper class people? Nothing, I can think of.

Definetly one of the most stupid post ive ever read. I would be careful how you say things cuz i came from the inner city and a lot of my friends do too. while im not overly poor i do come from those areas in which you are refering to. The death of all the "poor people" would be if anything unbeneficial to society. as somebody previously mentioned, all the "poor people" who join the military won't be there anymore. think about it, it not the rich or their sons or daughters who are actively trying to join our nations military. also if you got rid of all the poory people, then you'd just make a group of poor people. those who were once rich before would find themselves now the poor people with only those with considerably more money the new middle and upper classes. There will always be crime and there will always be rich and poor

Source? I might agree to a certain point considering the fact that poor people get stuck with public defenders paid for by the state in which is also prosecuting them compared to the wealthy who can afford the best lawyers money can by.

1)Eliminate the social burden of welfare, which in turn would allow tax payer money to go into something more beneficial, like the military or national security.

I wouldn't eliminate it completely, I'd rather see it completely overhauled and reformed to make sure that only the people who need it get it with giving them a time limit to straighten themselves out like 2 or 3 years to offer them help in finding reasonable employment and housing. If they don't make an effort or are determined to be parasites feeding off the system then cut them off from it, Absolutely.

2) It would rid our society of the most vile of people. Imagine a world where there are no poor people committing crimes. Sounds fantastic.

Are you insinuating that the rich aren't committing crimes?

3) Our prisons would viritually emptied after a while, as after all the poor people are dead,there will be hardly anyone left to commit crimes.

like I said, their is a lot of rich that commit crimes who get off completely due to the fact they can afford top dollar attornies

4) The Human population would decrease rapidly, allowing for the revival of earth and its resources.

Selfish way to think. They poor didn't ask to be born poor or from society challenged individuals.

Think about it. A few years of inner city death and destruction can lead to a future of riches, peace, and a cleaner, healthy earth.

By all means I am for ending welfare and other such programs but killing them now thats extreme even by my own standards.

Oh look, a Marxist! Only instead of one of those "save the Poor Class" Marxists, you take the opposite approach. Big whoop. You're still burdened with this infantile and idiotic belief in hiearchical, structured Class Society.

Furthermore your posts show you've never heard of the concept of upward- or downward-mobility, since you seem to believe that killing all people of one economic class means that class will no longer exist.

The best way to fight poverty in a country other than having a free market is to increase welfare programs so all people can have a proper education, proper healthcare, a social security net if they get unemployed and somewere to live. A requirement to recieve social security should be that you activelly search for a job.

What is funny is that most people dont even understand why we need the "poor people".

Its not their work. Its not the fact that they can fight in the army.

The deal is that they buy.

Ok, they dont buy Ferrari´s, they dont buy 5 million houses, they dont buy airplanes and helicopters.

But every poor people buy clothing, food, electronics and a whole shitload of stuff. Every house has a TV. Every house has a refrigerator. A stove. And a lot of other stuff.

Just look at iPods. There are some models who are $69,00. Anyone can buy one. And that is why they have sold millions of those, and apple now cant stop smiling.

Not to mention they buy and eat food everyday. If there were not a LOT of poor people buying stuff, capitalism wouldnt work.

What was one of the main reasons why slavery was punished and ended? Because slaves dont have income. And if they dont have income, they cant buy things. And if they cant buy things, products wont be bought. And if products arent bought, the rich people who control the factories wont get richer.

That is it. The poor are there to make the rich richer.

I think killing off the poor is a splendid idea but why not have some fun rather than just letting them whack one another willy nilly. Just think we could have proper gladiatorial games on a mass scale. All we need to do is build a big fence around some country say Oman then fill it with TV cameras and weapons then ship the poor in from around the globe and let them at each other. It would be great TV plus the rich would be able to richer by selling TV rights.

Now before you get your panties in a bunch, let me explain myself here.

Its almost a 110% proven fact that poor people are more likely to be found guilty of committing crimes, especially violent ones. So, I propose that we pull police protection from those areas and let them kill each other off. This would help the rest of society out in four major ways

1)Eliminate the social burden of welfare, which in turn would allow tax payer money to go into something more beneficial, like the military or national security.
2) It would rid our society of the most vile of people. Imagine a world where there are no poor people committing crimes. Sounds fantastic.
3) Our prisons would viritually be emptied after a while, as after all the poor people are dead,there will be hardly anyone left to commit crimes.
4) The Human population would decrease rapidly, allowing for the revival of earth and its resources.

Think about it. A few years of inner city death and destruction can lead to a future of riches, peace, and a cleaner, healthy earth.

Why stop there?
lets also organise hunting trips. Heavily armed ritch people would be taken into poor areas, and alowed to shoot poor people. Every kill would be charged to them.
Or a step more. Let poor people be able to sell themselves to ritch people as salves. Ok so no one can sell another person, but let them be able to sell themselves. Money goes to their family. If enough family members sell themselves, then family can even move from poor area!

You try and find quotes that relate directly to Geppetto.

Geppetto was caged a lot into the belly of a big fish... (Maybe a whale, but as far as I can recall Collodi didn't specified it...) Maybe he forgot something about how the world work...

HOWEVER:

Its almost a 110% proven fact that poor people are more likely to be found guilty of committing crimes, especially violent ones.

True, now let's begin to think about WHY poor peoples are more likely to b found guilt:

1; Poor peoples tend to life in conditions that require them to commit crimes...
2; Poor peoples usually can't afford expensive defences at tribunal, so no Lawyer tend to work too hard for them...
3; Poor peoples crimes seem to get noticed more than rich peoples ones...

So, I propose that we pull police protection from those areas and let them kill each other off.

Also allowing steal, rape, etc etc?

This would help the rest of society out in four major ways

If you are sure...

1)Eliminate the social burden of welfare, which in turn would allow tax payer money to go into something more beneficial, like the military or national security.

I prefer consider this point as "Transfer founds from Welfare to Corpse Disposing", because you WANT to remove the corpses yes? Or should I remind about how much is problematic for peoples health to let them unburied?

2) It would rid our society of the most vile of people. Imagine a world where there are no poor people committing crimes. Sounds fantastic.

There are also no poor people working, there are also always RICH peoples committing crimes... And a rich people crime tend to be more vile than a poor one...

3) Our prisons would viritually be emptied after a while, as after all the poor people are dead,there will be hardly anyone left to commit crimes.

If I sa "Mafia" or "Yakuza" you'll thing that their affiliates are poor?

4) The Human population would decrease rapidly, allowing for the revival of earth and its resources.

YEAH... Less people, no more nuclear plants, no more Pollution and Natural Resources will replenish themselves as a sign of thanking...

Think about it. A few years of inner city death and destruction can lead to a future of riches, peace, and a cleaner, healthy earth.

Then WHY removing police and allowing peoples to kill each other? We have to ENCOURAGE them, so to have also a new form of entertainement... Look to history, look to Roman Circus...

I like it. We can even televise the hunts and major battles. Its a damn shame I know enough about economics to know that the poor are needed as consumers and sometimes workers.

I think killing off the poor is a splendid idea but why not have some fun rather than just letting them whack one another willy nilly. Just think we could have proper gladiatorial games on a mass scale. All we need to do is build a big fence around some country say Oman then fill it with TV cameras and weapons then ship the poor in from around the globe and let them at each other. It would be great TV plus the rich would be able to richer by selling TV rights.

Sounds like my kind of TV.

You lot are fucking sick. I'm considered poor. I'm one of three children in a single parent family-my mum only earns about £20k p.a.,if slightly less-and we have trouble paying bills and the like.I get benefits from the government to help me pay for my school supplies and education.
I can't believe you lot want people like me to die so you can have a "nice,clean earth." Free of scum like us,apparently. Why don't I deserve a clean earth? Why don't I deserve a chance to live and be happy?

Its not really about the income, its about what typifies each social class in terms of steriotypes. The lower and working classes are given media coverage in the form of vandals, criminals, pregnant teenagers and the like (all living of the state, naturally). When you say the poor, people from other social groups think of this. I'm for wiping them out, but not the average person trying to makes ends meet. Many of my good friends are numbered among 'the poor' and many are better people than I. Sorry.

This threat doesn't sounds serious, but i give it a try, just for the sake of it.

1)Eliminate the social burden of welfare, which in turn would allow tax payer money to go into something more beneficial, like the military or national security.

More than 60 % of the work force come from middle class people, and the so called "poor" people has a lot of jobs they fill out too. so if you just say the poor, you must meen people struggling for their lives? In that case, we would miss people to do the service jobs. That means gas-stations every shop you can mention from 7-eleven to clothing shops. The poor people is what make all your daily life possible, allowing you to buy what you need.


2) It would rid our society of the most vile of people. Imagine a world where there are no poor people committing crimes. Sounds fantastic.

It is more a coming perception rather than a fact that poor people are violent, but let't pretend. Poor people are already killing poor people, so there is no reason in changing much, maybe you should give them more guns (I am from Denmark, and in Denmark we hardly have any guns anyway)


3) Our prisons would viritually be emptied after a while, as after all the poor people are dead,there will be hardly anyone left to commit crimes.

The prisons are not full of poor people making violence. They are full of people that has grown up in a bad enviroment. The richer youth (in Denmark that is) the rich youngsters have their very big part of the crime. So just to blame the poor is a very narrow minded way of thinking crime.


4) The Human population would decrease rapidly, allowing for the revival of earth and its resources.

IF you really think of the enviroment, and wants the human to be less spreading, we could just wipe all of Africa? They are poor and to many! but of course we dont do that. Every man alive is an action of the evolution. I believe in Darwins theory of evolution, and then you can not just kill people, we are as many because we are the best survivors. (I know that Darwin said that we shouldn't take of ill and weak people, but he also said that we should follow our instincts and that is what i am doing, when not killing every poor guy I meet).

So you see, this thread is a prank it simply must be. Not much reason to give it any responds, but now i tried it, hope to get some feedback.

I hope you realize you're a horrible human being, not to mention a blatant collectivist/statist. You're advocating using the government to wipe out an arbitrary defined group of people who have done no wrong in order to "benefit" another arbitrarily defined group of people. Nowhere is it apparent that you realize that you are speaking of many individuals who have traits that defy your characterizations; there are hard-working, law-abiding people with low incomes/wealth, and shiftless criminal people with high incomes/wealth. But instead of recognizing individuality, you instead strip it away in order to conjure up ultimately non-existent collectives of poor and rich, collectives that you believe have a life of their own apart from the individuals that comprise them and must be treated as such. Because of this attitude, any concept of liberty is inherently alien to you.

What lies? Poor people commit more violent crimes, are over populating the prison system, and overtaking the cities. What if we let them kill each other off? What harm comes to middle and upper class people? Nothing, I can think of.

Ok, just in case your earnest, allow me to introduce you to economics 101.

Resources are limited. No two ways about it.

Unprocessed/unharvested resources are pretty much worthless to your average urbanite.

It almost goes without saying that at the start of most resource harvesting/refining processes, the poor can be found there. America has their illegal immigrants, China has their sweatshops, etc, etc.

Killing off all your poor would result in a complete shutdown of all your basic resource production systems. Not everyone can be a CEO or engineer.

And in case you're stupid enough to suggest replacing that with robotic labour, robots generally cost a great deal more to do what a human can do and often require expensive maintenance. They are only more economical when you have a limited population base and highly educated workforce. A difficult to achieve situation in most countries unless you're an island nation.

Another point I'd like to raise is that poor or not, these people represent a huge proportion of a nations populace, and thus as a group, represent a massive economic stimulus to keep the market flowing. Kill them off, and you run out of buyers quick. A rich guy isn't going to buy some extra 20,000 cartons of milk a day to make up for the sudden shortage of poor that used to do so.

Overall, your idea is about as idiotic as jumping off a tall cliff with the idea that if you flap your hands hard enough, you won't go splat.

Human rights are given by the government or body or even person that controls you at the time and that same body can strip you of them at any time they choose. I too would say that, by default, in the beginning, all people are equal (its what they do and what happens to them that changes that).
I do not think the upper class are much better, they just have a tendancy to commit different sorts of crimes (on the whole) which I think are less detestable, if having greater impact on the world. And they are better equipped to conceal those crimes.

I agree whole heartedly with you. All you people who say that ya'll are just joking are still pretty sick. You say sorry when you make a muslim joke but when you talk about the mass genocide of an entire group of people, you don't say anything. All you sick f*cks who actually agree with Geppeto really need some kind of consuling because ya'll are seriously f*cked up in the head.

This reminds me of the qoute, "Don't act like your sh*t dosen't smell." The "poor" are not the only ones who commit crimes. some of the worst crimes in history are committed by those in power and with money. Look at Hitler, Osama Bin Laden, Charles Taylor, and Robert Durst. As you can see some of the worst crimes in history are committed by those with money. and the "poor" aren't just here to buy things, with out them, there would be no rich people and no nation.

Is sad, but true...

Police didn't do the job "gratis-et-amore-dei" (From Latin: For Free and for the love of God...) so didn't do all the peoples that are charged to protect Human Rights... Is nice to think about how Human Rights should be granted to everyone, but still is depressing to see how reality goes...

There is also to think about WHAT is intended for Human Rights and wich authority can enforce them...

Think about Death Sentences... While some countries talk about the fact that NO ONE has the right to kill another person, and everyone should have the right to redeem himself (Or herself...) there are people that however commine that... Isn't the right to the Life one of Human Rights? Is better to kill one for the sake of the many or not?

So different sorts of crimes makes it a better sort of crime? How so? Is fraud a better crime? Sure, it involves no loss of human life, but can destroy someone's life financially. They're just as detestable.
And concealing crimes makes it all go away? Just like sweeping it all under the rug? You're almost as bad as the OP.

Now before you get your panties in a bunch, let me explain myself here.

Its almost a 110% proven fact that poor people are more likely to be found guilty of committing crimes, especially violent ones. So, I propose that we pull police protection from those areas and let them kill each other off. This would help the rest of society out in four major ways

1)Eliminate the social burden of welfare, which in turn would allow tax payer money to go into something more beneficial, like the military or national security.
2) It would rid our society of the most vile of people. Imagine a world where there are no poor people committing crimes. Sounds fantastic.
3) Our prisons would viritually be emptied after a while, as after all the poor people are dead,there will be hardly anyone left to commit crimes.
4) The Human population would decrease rapidly, allowing for the revival of earth and its resources.

Think about it. A few years of inner city death and destruction can lead to a future of riches, peace, and a cleaner, healthy earth.

Alright I'm going to pretend I'm a soulless prick who thinks he's better than everone else and that a person's worth is determined by their bank account and credit score for a second:

We should kill the people that can't afford all the luxuries in life, because even though most of the rich people come from ancestors who were in poverty most of their lives and took decades to try and give their children just a little bit more than what they themselves had as a child, the poor are scum! Yes they should just do the menial and embarassing tasks and maybe even wipe my ass with their bare hands because they don't have much money. Sure without them no country could survive and yes those bastards are the people that are the building blocks of every civilization they don't deserve to live. all people aren't equals and we should all reinstate slavery so that the rich don't have to even get up or brush their own teeth. Afterwards we can have them slaughter each other for our own enjoyment. Sure every society that ever began to think that way quickly fell but I don't care!

Its not about human life, I am always saying that raw human life is of little worth on its own. Financial destruction is a problem, a very serious problem, but if the person is capable of working their way back then it is probably less fatal, if not, our liberal socialist state will be there to support them. *sighs*

Then WHY Poors shouldn't group themselves to kill riches and take their possessions? Dying doing that isn't different to dying without doing that...

I'm not devoid of morality, I have a flexable moral system combined with a natural capability for dehumanising people when it serves me. A differently structured morality, but still morality.

If you have no desire to act why believe? You believe to act. If you don't act it makes no difference. It's a sad statement but no one really cares what you think it's just what you do with what you think, and if you're egomaniacal enough to think we care what you think without proof or actions is just plain stupid.

Verdict: If you want to kill poor people, do so, but don't expect anyone else to think it's a good idea. It's a really degrading and bad idea.

Aren't you a charmer? Anyway - I'm about to knock this theory down. See below.
1)Eliminate the social burden of welfare, which in turn would allow tax payer money to go into something more beneficial, like the military or national security.
Since about 35% of Americans live below the poverty line (and I'd assume you live there), you're getting rid of about 110 million people - nice one. That's where your army and police come from, too.

"Hurrah" says the middle class "now I can get blown up in Iraq too - nice one, that's exactly what I wanted".

"Fantasmic" say the plutocrats - "I always wanted to work as a traffic policeman, instead of my upper-level management job!"
2) It would rid our society of the most vile of people. Imagine a world where there are no poor people committing crimes. Sounds fantastic.
Not really, because people would be impoverished as their workers would be dead or dying, and their companies would collapse. Poverty is what leads to most crime, so it'd just start again with a new working class of the previous petit-bourgeoisie, and the whole thing'd just begin again.
3) Our prisons would viritually be emptied after a while, as after all the poor people are dead,there will be hardly anyone left to commit crimes.
See my previous point - you'll just get a new working class.
4) The Human population would decrease rapidly, allowing for the revival of earth and its resources.
Surprising as this may sound to you, new resources don't just magically appear. The world would be just as buggered as previously, it's just that the rate of decline would slow down for about a week, before the previously rich because the working class again.
Think about it. A few years of inner city death and destruction can lead to a future of riches, peace, and a cleaner, healthy earth.
Who's your new working class, then?

I don't think that the plutocrats are going to be very happy in the factories where the working class are currently used. And without consumer goods, people aren't going to have much of a happy time.

What's all this about the poor people being the most wretched among us? Do you have any idea how many great, public figures there are today that started out living in the slums? It's very true that many poor people take advantage of the welfare system. They leech off of it and don't put any effort into climbing up the economic ladder. There are, however, an innumerable amount of people in the lower class who are far more deserving of life and its opportunities than any rich little son of a bitch who has his ass wiped with a silk cloth by his butler, Jeeves.

But, if we are just going to let the lower class kill each other, there has to be something that will get them to start fighting. Why don't we drop your sorry little ass right in the middle of "da hood" after dressing you in an Armani suit and strapping a nice Rolex to your wrist, then they'll have to duke it out to see who gets to mug you first.

First of all, Hitler did not have the right idea. Killing based on race makes less sense than seeing if a social class has the capability to manage itself without government law enforcement. I just think that he should have been able to hold that belief, but never enact it. As for the devoid of morals part, yes I would manipulate others for personal gain if I thought it was worth the harm it would do. And the dehumanisation bit, I do it partially reflexively, thats not a justification however, just the truth.

You sir, fail at life. I can't believe I'm about to say this, but I strongly hope that someday you lose all your money and become "poor." Will you still want to exterminate them? No. Probably not. If theres anyone we should exterminate, it should be you and anyone that shares a similar phycotic, corrupt, and biased ideology. How does it feel to play god? Thinking you should chose who lives and who dies? I'd seriously suggest rethinking your perspective and life (or lack thereof, for that matter) before you say something that really peeves someone off.

Not only would your "plan" undermine society as we know it, it wouldn't even happen. Why would poor people kill each other, anyway? We have nothing to steal from each other. If we were actually like you said we were, we would steal and murder you. Do you think you're a human? I don't. I can't classify you as a mammel. Most mammels coexist with their enviornment.

:rolleyes:

The poor commit crimes because they don't have any more resources. the rich do commit crimes, because they are greedy. The poor are poor because of certain disadvantages, and the rich managed to get ahead, and often screw the poor over to get even further ahead.

1) We'd eliminate the need if we gave the poor more advantages.
2) Poor people are vile? Are you saying that the idiots currently in the US government aren't vile?
3) The prisons would not be emptied, because the middle-class people would still commit crimes and go to jail, and some rich people wouldn't be able to buy their way out of prison.
4) Yes the population would decrease rapidly, and then the middle class would become the poor and would get screwed over, etc etc etc....

Look at Hitler, Osama Bin Laden, Charles Taylor, and Robert Durst.

Exactly. What would stop it from spreading to the rest of civilization?
Well, depending on the measures taken, it could be anything from nothing at all to a 10m high, 4m thick concrete wall patrolled around the clock by military personnel fully armed and with orders to fire on any human seen to be within a certain distance from the wall, and of course many more defensive measures that I do not have the patience to list. Containment need not be a problem as long as it is managed well.

No!
I enjoy hobos! I pass by one every day on the way home from school!
He lives in my bus shelter. He always has a big bag of meat with him.
He calls me Jill. His name is Patrick. He is the best.

A world without Patrick, would be like...*thinks*..

And yet there is no sort of consistency in them.

Human beings do not behave morally all the time either. We just have altruism embedded into us naturally. So, as I've said, do lots of other animals.

What's the difference?

Supporting another creature for, potencially, some benefit that we do not percieve

No, supporting another creature for the sake of supporting another creature. That's what "altruism" means.

is different from having a developed system of morality as well as concepts of right and wrong.

We are also the only animals who would ever need a "developed system of morality," because we have formed complex societies.

Somewhat like that yes, but the real threat comes from a full scale assault. Society is not going to crumble just because one anarchist escapes, besides they will be moving into hostile terratory rather than friendly. The real risk to society is from massive numbers, not like the Berlin Wall, in which case if the wrong person got across they could do serious damage to one side. Also, I believe the Berlin Wall did not quite meet those specifications (although a minefield would be interesting).

Are you sure that we do? Have you ever met someone who grew up with absolutely no external influences whatsoever, and if you have, have they displayed a natural altruism, without any prior interaction? Morality is supplied by society, which has developed them because it helps society operate without intolerable human misery that would cause unrest.



No, supporting another creature for the sake of supporting another creature. That's what "altruism" means.
The point I am making is that our biologists may not percieve the benefit, and call it altruism when it is in fact not. I reckon you knew that though, and are just dodging the point. Besides consideration for another with which you are concerned is not a display of morality.



We are also the only animals who would ever need a "developed system of morality," because we have formed complex societies.
Precisely, society requires complex morality to continue to run smoothly and that which harms others or otherwise damages society will be declared bad, or even evil. Humans are the only creatures with a real concept of evil and are as such the only beings who can inflict it.

I couldn't get away with it, for one. And I think think that the poor are necessary, if the concept is unpleasant. And there are better ways to eliminate the problems that I percieve in my twisted view.

Very well, you speak of proof, what is your proof that I am wrong and that you are right.

Of course poor people are nessicary. Without them what are middle class? The new poor. So the Upper classes kill each other off until no humanity is left. Congrats you just doomed the Human Race.

I'm pretty sure that is also Justifyable proof that i'm right and you're an inhuman idiot.

If the poor are committing crimes, if they are that poor, then it's because the government is not working for them and helping them, instead they are catering to the rich. The fact is the poorer classes should be killing off the rich if necessary. If they are being ruled with an iron fist by the pompous swine of the Earth, they should rise up and start a revolution. A peaceful one is preferrable, but less realistic.

It's a not a question of Societies pressures and influences, it's a matter of human decency. It's not decent to condemn people for their race, social status, income ect. People just scapegoat the problem on society so they have someone to bitch at. If you're smart enough to function without Society then they'd have their own idea's. True, Society influences people but it dosn't have to.




Besides consideration for another with which you are concerned is not a display of morality.

Considering others that you arn't concerned with is yet another matter of human decency. I could find you and kill you, but taking you into consideration that is not a decent thing to do, nor would it appease you. So i wont do it.

In that case incarcerate the owner for being faulty. And as stated above Society requires Morality but Society does not require you to be a part of it. Think for yourself and quit Palming off guilt.

I think you are missing the point. There is a level above which when one is no longer generating the same problems as they were. As circumstances change so do, well, circumstances. If we have just walled undesirable areas off then it is only those inside who need die. This is not necessarily a 'constant revolution' in which the rule is renewed and new enemies selected. It happens and then stops. Besides, I am not saying we wipe them out, just let them engage in a little contained self-government for a time.

Society and our upbringing in it are what gave us these values, and society has little choice if it is to continue without collapse. Not that it takes much effort. If you raise a person in an environment they will learn the lessons of that environment. How do you think humans have been supplied with natural morality?

Personal morality defines and distinguishes among right and wrong intentions, motivations or actions, as these have been learned, engendered, or otherwise developed within each individual.

I think the reason that you have not found and killed me is that the difficulty and cost that doing so would incur, and you may believe that human life has some inherent value, even mine. And again you have learned that it is the decent thing to, you are not just naturally compelled to do it. If you want to protect someone important to you, you are surely doing it for you rather than them. You value them, and so defend them.

No, animals cannot register right and wrong, they are amoral. We put them down because they may be a danger to others while they still live (and a natural desire for revenge). They commited the action, but it was not evil, they do not understand evil and were just responding to natural complusion. Personally I think the owner can be to blame in certain circumstances, yes. I am not palming off guilt, and I do think for myself (to the same degree anyone does). Who do you think taught me these views (I had little choice but to develop them alone). But I should not be persecuted for having a belief (I say this on the basis that you most likely like to consider yourself 'liberal', for what it is worth). Society does not need any one person within it, but I would like to think that there are those who are of less value to society than me (feel no need to respond to that statement as you have no more right than me to be judge).

I think you are missing the point. My point is that when all "poor" people are dead or walled off, What will happen to the Middle Class? They will no longer be Middle due to the lack of a Poorer class. What makes you think that the egomaniacal maniacs who designed the first Culling wont organize another? If said "revolution" happened it would have to be constant due to the idea of Superiority. The reason we got rid of the last batch is because they were inferior what makes the next step up any less inferior? What you are proposing is that Low class governs Low class, ect.? If so then we no longer have a structered government and all people are not equal, which in your eyes is not an issue, but is the true heart of the problem. All people are equal and just because some people do commit crimes does not make them any less than a person.

Not nessicarily. If you have the capability to think for yourself, which would throw off societies chains, you do not have to buy into Heirarchies specific brand of bullshit. Of course there will be people who choose not to think for themselves and they will countinue Society without us. You individually do not have to take part in Society. Human's have the option to think for themselves and Human Nature would point them in that direction. Natural Morality is nonexistent. You yourself justify what's right and wrong and any two peoples view can and will be different. Doing certain things, ie Murder, triggers natural guilt because you know it's wrong. If you didn't think it was wrong Guilt would be non-existant. We all have the capacity to develop yes, but we do not need Society to do so.

I agree with the first paragraph to an extent. But as stated above, Society is not nessicary nor does it Set in stone peoples idea's and morals. People have the ability to think for themselves, but unfortunatly not many people exersize the ability.

True, Human life has value and this is why i am having this arguement with you. I know that people with your idea's must exist otherwise what am i? Every action/ idea has an equal and counter re-action. Therefore just because people are poor does not mean that we have to right to condemn them. Right but due to my ideaology you wouldn't be compelled to hurt anyone dear to me. You would take said person into consideration and decide it's no Ethical to hurt them.

All people are equal and just because some people do commit crimes does not make them any less than a person.

Well, I'm middle class, and I control this hypothetical reality, so it stops. But assuming this is in a real world that operates independently, then you have more of a point. The problem (in my mind) is not that they are inferior inherently, the problem is how that class functions. There is an economic point above which one no longer requires support from the state, which means that desperation is no longer an motive for crime. The point of this was that outside law enforcement is removed and you see what happens, if they can reform their society on their own, then they may be better off, or allowed to rejoin the rest, if not,the problem takes care of itself. People are not equal in my eyes, no, I believe that being alive is only worth so much on its own. Some are worth less than others, due to their own actions (and not necessarily their economic status).

Not nessicarily. If you have the capability to think for yourself, which would throw off societies chains, you do not have to buy into Heirarchies specific brand of bullshit.

You cannot throw off societies chains, as it is what teaches you what and how to think. And obviously you need not by into hierarchical 'bullshit', you can buy into leftwing 'liberal bullshit' to. You would have a hell of a time disconnecting yourself from society, you carry its trappings with you. As for guilt, you only feel guilt if you are remorseful (which you need not be) and it is society that began teaching you to feel that guilt from the first time your mother or father told you you had done something wrong (if they did). That is my point, we all do have the capacity to develop and because society is present it is what develops us (we do not need this, but it is what happens).

I agree with the first paragraph to an extent. But as stated above, Society is not nessicary nor does it Set in stone peoples idea's and morals. People have the ability to think for themselves, but unfortunatly not many people exersize the ability.
Do you honestly believe that you have been any less subject to societal influence as me? You have simply adopted a different strain of belief within society.

True, Human life has value and this is why i am having this arguement with you. I know that people with your idea's must exist otherwise what am i? Every action/ idea has an equal and counter re-action. Therefore just because people are poor does not mean that we have to right to condemn them. Right but due to my ideaology you wouldn't be compelled to hurt anyone dear to me. You would take said person into consideration and decide it's no Ethical to hurt them.
The first paragraph was a definition from Wiki which I felt did the job, sorry should have credited it. I do not condemn them because they are poor, I condemn them for those things that seem to come with relative poverty. I have no reason to hurt those close to you obviously and did not mean to suggest that I might, I was just giving an example that you would understand. And although I am apparently a monster (in this respect regarding this topic you are probably right) I do possess some morality.

Due to our inability to provide any proof for said situation i wont argue it anymore. You are right in which that Owners can be to blame but so can the animal. I believe they must register right and wrong otherwise evolution is impossible.
I cannot see how morality is necessary for evolution, if anything it is a limiting factor.

Also, the OP itself was poorly thoughout out although I think somethnig similar would make an interesting social experiment. I know no one cares and that this is not an adequate justification (please, no posts quoting this and asking why I said it (if anything was going to bring them it was saying that)), but to hell with you all, I'm not quite this supremist when I'm in a better mood.

Its almost a 110% proven fact that poor people are more likely to be found guilty of committing crimes, especially violent ones.

It's also a fact that in the state of Meryland, a black man speeding at 5 mph over the limit is almost 80% more likely to be pulled over then a white man going at 20 mph over the limit.

It's also a fact that a black man is 60% more likely to be convicted of any crime than a white man of the same crime.

It's also a fact that our beautiful nation does very little to help the poor, compared to, say France.

The conviction rate of poor people is just as much prejudice as an actual fact that poor people commit more crime. Besides that, how do you decide if someone is officialy poor? Does it depend on his/her salary, or how much he/she owns? Do his/her children become included in this genocide, or their spouce? What does this do to our legal system? If a goverment alows this to happen, then everyone who had a hand in the decision should be charged with negligent homicide, which is defined as "a charge brought against persons, who by inaction, allow others under their care to die"
The decision would be immoral, and would be equivilent of throwing the constitution and bill of rights on a flame.

And if oil really runs out before replacements are ready, and our societies can't waste as much cheap energy anymore, you'll see how bad things can get. My joke about poor being hunted for sport will sound like happy days.
