PEEWEE Posted January 5, 2004 Posted January 5, 2004 I PUT FORWARD A PROPOSAL THAT ALL OLD PEOPLE SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM EXISTENCE AT THE AGE OF 50, TO SAVE THE ECONOMY.
wolfson Posted January 5, 2004 Posted January 5, 2004 Mmmm and when you get to 50, would you like to be gunned down, and anyway dont you think we have short enough lives as it is, without reducing life-span??? And if we have a great leader, and he/she turns 50 we shoot he/she down???

atinymonkey Posted January 5, 2004 Posted January 5, 2004 I propose all people more than 30 years older than myself be culled. It seems fair.
Sayonara Posted January 5, 2004 Posted January 5, 2004 Just out of curiosity, how much older than you is Steven?
VendingMenace Posted January 5, 2004 Posted January 5, 2004 i propose that we kill all newborn babies as they don't contribute anything. In fact, they only take stuff for the first few years. So it is either kill all babies or learn to give birth to fully functioning people. Yeah. Oh and why 50? that seems kinda arbitrary. Why don't we just kill anybody that retires -- or isn't working. Yeah. Anyone that isn't working should be shot. That way only productive, contributing people can live.

Sayonara Posted January 5, 2004 Posted January 5, 2004 Screw killing the jobless - the unemployed should be regularly forced to take over the jobs of those whose taxes pay their social security hand-outs. j/k... OR AM I?
PEEWEE Posted January 5, 2004 Author Posted January 5, 2004 That seems fair remove all the jobless from existence, this would ensure that we remove any parasites on our resources.
YT2095 Posted January 5, 2004 Posted January 5, 2004 perhaps we should implement Eugenics, and kill all the jews and people of different color, hell why not just kill anyone we didn`t like? you could even change your name to Hitler or Stalin (just for good measure). what rock did you crawl from under!?

What have you got against Jews
YT2095 Posted January 5, 2004 Posted January 5, 2004 that`s just it, I`ve got nothing against anyone barring those that make such propositions as yourself. you said "that`s just racist" well wouldn`t yours be Ageist? I know a good many people 50 and above, they work harder than most of the kids today that don`t want to get their hands dirty and do REAL WORK, it`s pathetic. I`m with one of Karl Marx`s teachings here: "from Each according to their ability, to Each according to their need"

Some are old at 45 some not even at 70. BTW stupid proposal. economy more important than life ???? (illogical) If we were slaves this would be a good idea.
Radical Edward Posted January 5, 2004 Posted January 5, 2004 I think that peewee is about as economically literate as a fart.

Cap'n Refsmmat Posted January 5, 2004 Posted January 5, 2004 At least those on social security should go away... too many old farts makes the young people pay for them
fafalone Posted January 6, 2004 Posted January 6, 2004 I wouldn't mind having them removed from the roads at 50...
Crash Posted January 6, 2004 Posted January 6, 2004 whats with you and tarffic/crashs ? if ya dont mind me askin
fafalone Posted January 6, 2004 Posted January 6, 2004 I hate the way old people (and people in general) drive. With a passion.
PEEWEE Posted January 6, 2004 Author Posted January 6, 2004 Economists lead us to believe that an economy is a means to produce economic activity as defined by the almighty Good for Nothing PredictorGross National Product.5 But the GNP is not itself a good. It is an economist’s means of measuring the performance of a national economy. The GNP only measures the activity of things as valued by money. It has nothing to say about the happiness of the people. It has nothing to say about the distribution of wealth within the society. It has nothing to say about any activity not involved with the exchange of money. Economists exhibit an inability to prove anything about the economy, economic policy, and the functioning of society. If economists really knew what they were talking about, why are we so consistently making such a mess of our economies, even using their own definitions? Why are there times of boom and bust entirely unpredicted and unexplained by these economists? Why are there so many opposing economic opinions? Economists are striving to understand and ultimately predict the economy. Unfortunately for them, the economy appears to be so fundamentally complex that their efforts at understanding through simplification result in reducing the meaning out of the questions.

Eugenics has nothing to do with killing people. Hitler just happened to do both at the same time, forever villifying an interesting area of science.
