No really, you might choose to kill to make sacrifices to the angry gods to save the community, making it a divine and sacred act rather than viscious.

or by killing some you might piss off the gods....

My response 76 was supposed to be dripping with sarcasm......Sarcasm has failed me again on the internet...Is there a rule or number that corresponds with internet failed sarcasm?

I could never express sarcasm through text either...

back on topic, allowing the killing on children is a slippery slope, you kill children, you will start finding yourself justifying the killing adults.

hey, kerotan. here's a quiz for you:

1. do you like quizzes?

2. is one really the loneliest number that you'll ever do?

3. who would win in a fight between Captain Kirk and Captain Picard?

4. what's the worst flavor ever?

5. do you ever answer questions with other questions?

6. in five words, describe your left hand

6. are you very observant, in general?

6. really?

9. do you fear anything unusual?

10. do you trust weather forecasts?

hey, kerotan. here's a quiz for you:

1. do you like quizzes?
Not especially. that is not really a fair answer, I would hover around the apathetic area, fluxing above and bellow the good/bad line, really it depends on the quiz.(also on the side note, isn't this a questionnaire?, I am assume here that there are no right answers, and this isn't an initiation test for all new forum users, which the paranoid part of my brain would have me believe.

2. is one really the loneliest number that you'll ever do?
I'd ever do?, since I have no idea what you going on about, i am just going to say that they are as all as lonely as each other and that I would never do any of them.

3. who would win in a fight between Captain Kirk and Captain Picard?
Picard, because he was the star trek captain that i grew up with.

4. what's the worst flavor ever?
I won't single out a single flavour (I have my reasons), but I would say that anything that tastes like your eating/drinking mouthwash is pretty bad.

5. do you ever answer questions with other questions?
yes

6. in five words, describe your left hand
Same function as my right.

6. are you very observant, in general?
since I can't define myself as unobservant, (i can't say that i notice that I don't pick up on things if i don't pick up on them, this however is a general rule, there are exceptions where this is void, where i discover that i am unobservant from the the aid of a 3rd party, and based on the number of times that a 3rd party has notified me that i am unobservant being low, it would be fair to say that I am observant) I would (almost) by default define my self as very observant.

6. really?
yes really, I have noticed 7 and 8 are numbered both 6.

9. do you fear anything unusual?
I can't say I fear anything unusual.

10. do you trust weather forecasts?
why wouldn't I?

Great. Way to make a twenty-seven year old feel like a geezer. Congratulations.

Wow, best quiz responses...evar! Oh yeah, and welcome to the cellar!

Begin offering incentives (and disincentives) to promote population control. It would be possible to do this without forcing abortion, sterilization, etc on the population.

In many societies, children are a form of social security insurance. Simply by guaranteeing some level of support for the elderly, you take away one reason to have large families.

Rich, are you still talking about HP's hypothetical Island, or now about humans in a more general sense?

I'm talking about the hypothetical argument. HP's hypothesis lays out two options. A good leader will almost always be able to find a 3rd option.

20% percent over sustainable population might require rationing until another solution is found but would not require infanticide. Only ineffective leaders would find such a solution necessary.

That's funny, because I have a personal knee-jerk reaction to people that roll their eyes and I refuse to do it......Not even with a smilie on the internet. Knee-jerk in the way that I start to kick shins. I don't even care what they are rolling their eyes about....9 out of 10 times they need a smack in the face, and since I'm not willing to do it, they go on the real life ignore list.

I can't believe how that noob aced that quiz! Nice work! I failed terribly!
