Well, if we have to kill 6.9 Billion people to make this work, you go first.

Before you came along noone proposed genocide.

I agree in that the "power in numbers" is in most societies since ancient times, but what I want to highlight -and I think Skybird probably too- is that religions took it as flag for their own uses and make it be persistant even today, in the XXI century, where such ideas would otherwise probably have not survived to a reality check. Without churches backing up such suicidal ideas, it would be more easy to have public debates about limitating the growth of the human population to a sustainable level, something that would be much more desirable than the current situation.

Correct.

But half a year ago I was accused by somebody else of allegedly regretting that I could not send people disagreeing with me into the gas chambers anymore. If that went by without moderators stepping in, I am not surprised that this one also causes no action.

And some people complain and call it my weakness if I put them on my ignore list over such stunts - to compensate for the moderation. :dead:

Disagreements are not the problem. Some people time and again needing to play foul in order to make their points, using distorted quotes, suggestive language, telling lies about other board members and trying to damage the person instead of having a better argument - that is the problem. In other words: a sort of bad behavior that in real life in public places most likely would not be tolerated by people and would lead to people being kicked out of restaurants, cinemas, shops, whatever - at least in all the places and cities over here where I have lived so far.

Being clear in what one wants to say, and defending it, is one thing. Bullying behavior, telling lies about opponents not agreeing, playing cheats and tricks to damage them - that is something very different. But not in this forum, it seems.

Perhaps this old saying will help in that regard : "Stöcke und Steine brechen meine Knochen, aber Worte werden mich nie verletzen"

Skybird, with all due respect and before you dig yourself deeper into the hole..

While you make some good points, you ought to be aware that you aren't the victim here nor can you claim 'morale high ground'. Maybe you haven't noticed yourself, but you have a tendency to belittle, bully and show a general aggressive behavior against people that do not agree with your views.

The claim of 'civil behavior' that shines through your above post pales in comparison too what you really say in your other posts and not just in this tread. Calling people slow minded or sick and twisted does not make you a victim, nor establishes a base for assumed superiority.

Your hatred for everything Religious and your treatment of believers in said things do not make you look innocent or more educated. It just make you look like you have a limited 'horizon' and are too stubborn to accept that there are people who have a belief in something that has not much to do with science per se.

Furthermore, that you tell people to stay out of certain threads (not this one, tho but you do it on occasion) when they are in disagreement with you, does gives the impression that you are not interested in an open discourse, but solely use this board to propagate your own world view and do not want any criticism of said view.

Last but not least, as a staff member of the Radioroom, people may misinterpreted what you say and assume it is the position of the staff in its whole. Remember when AVG got blasted for taking a side in a political discussion last year? Some were fast to accuse the staff of taking side, when he was in reality voicing his own opinion. It got even worse after one guy got sent to the brig for using racial slurs and arguing about it.

Well considering it's implied (unless you geniuses know of another way), I simply said what you weren't saying. So super smart one, how would you do this any other way? :hmmm:

Funny how the topic pretty much died when I mentioned it. Everyone else seems to get it.

I wouldnt do it in any way, I was not even the person exlaiming the wonderfuless of a lower population density. Besides, expressing a wish to have a lot lower population density does not mean that the person wants to kill off most of the population alive right now. At least have the honesty to admit when you are projecting what you want others to say instead of adressing what they actualy do say.

Then quit discussing it.

I hope so, but not for the moment.

I made the forum moderators drink a magic potion this afternoon, now they will never make any mistakes, never have an ommission, never takes sides or voice their own personal views, and never exercise their moderation duties in error, in any way, ever. It's done, so stop whining about how they treated this other guy more gently than you, they cannot make any mistakes now after the magic potion. Their moderation activities will be as precise as splitting atoms, and bound by ironclad rules of physics. That's some magic potion, yeah?

It's a wonder I didn't think of this before. :haha:

Excuse me? I was not discussing the benefits of a lower population density, merely pointing out your dishonest tactics at dealing wtih others. Besides, why should I stop discussing it? Not hing an answet to a problem is no reason not to talk about a problem.

Very funny, Neal. Eventually I will remind you of this "joke" occasionally.

Man, just let it rest. Subman never behaves different than like he just has done again, it is not worth it to discuss with him, for he plays foul intentionally with what you called "dishonest tactics" of his - and I should know, I have had the questionable pleasure very often to sit at the receiving end of his personal diffamations. Don't waste your time, and instead do like I did: ignore him.

I just watched this movie on youtube.:salute: I never knew finland was a frozen hell.:03:
