I know you don't support the whole idea, I just feel like talking to someone about this. I read your posts above and know your not one of the idiots here.

Oh. That clears something up. Well at least we got a good debate out of it.


There is a war going on in you're mind. People and ideas all competing for you're thoughts. And if you're thinking, you're winning.

I suppose selective killing of elderly people who draw more from society than they put in would be a good thing, but again, the cost of setting up a database like that would be prohibitive.

Thankfully, I believe that society's moral values would prevail, preventing such cruel measures. There are many ways that these currently unproductive people could still contribute, in any measure. Laissez-faire government though is still in place, preventing such.

Who ever said that we should kill off old people? Nobody that I recall.

Well, nobody would ever kill off all the elderly, so it doesn't really matter.

ignorance is bliss?

Lots of people.

Anyone who thinks that we should put an elderly person into a hamburger grinding machine is a sick bastard who would probably mark serial killer at the top of his career list.
