The people who don't believe in population reduction will be the first to go.

Creation of a messiah figure is religious. Not believing in Jehovah does not make you my ally, all who would will to rule should be executed.

That was a metaphor...I'm sure nasty alpha males predate religion.

So in short you are asking would you vote for a brutal dictator rather than not.

Stupid fucking question.

In certain circumstances, say food was really scarce on the shelves for instance(and crime/rioting was all out of hand). Wouldn't you want someone with a heavy boot to instill order, at least enough to avoid being mugged and have some respectful order in the food line?

And don't forget getting all those fucking trains to run on time!

Interesting i was reading the age about how melburnians make a sport of complaining about public transport.

I think you have to look at any military coup that claims similar and then go and man the barricades imo.

It is interesting how few of you have a survival instinct and would rather expire in some ideological lost cause. Maybe all the hero movies from Hollywood etc have instilled a certain amount of naive surrealism here?

We should definitely start picking off the weak. That means you, Scrumple. :twisted:

Without my heart meds I'd die out pretty quick truth be told. Do I care though? I'd be well out of it on the day.

I think my survival instincts have been rather well-tested.

Actually, the people who DO believe in population reduction ARE GOING. They are not-breeding themselves into extinction. Meanwhile, the Catholics and Muslims (among others) continue to raise large families.

Go watch "Idiocracy", particularly the first 5 minutes, for an excellent glimpse of the future without the moralizing ecozealot intelligentsia.

Temporary. Global population has peaked. When the population crash comes you'll see the 'atheists/freethinkers' find hope and so start to breed again. Meanwhile the religious will give up hope and the great religions of this era will fail. Ever onward, until we establish parity with the ancient world where religion was fluid and so was free thinking.

No doubt bredrin'. But shit degrades with time.

No, use the spice road like everyone else.

Yep, I'm probably only 9 or 10 times more likely to survive than the man on the street right now. I still teach.
