If this is one of those "what if's" that has no real basis in reality? IE: the logic is gone bye bye and it's just a matter of x and y? Yep. Sure.

Is that person my ex-wife, per chance?

parts of the world?
theres plenty of parts in our own country where hunger is a problem. Id like to see us stop whipping out the big american wallet to help other nations when disasters occur there and rather help our own when we suffer them and take care of our own before shipping out help to other countries





Why oh why are the threads around here becoming Poo threads lately?
*sigh*
I dunno. I took the question as something more like "if you killed someone, suddenly all world hunger would stop. Would you do it?"
I really didn't try to read into this more than what was originally offered up.

I'm still a greenhorn, Miss Paige. What are the hallmark signs/odors of a "Poo thread"?![]()
No.![]()
Speaking for myself at least, it's difficult to condone homicide or world starvation without an explanation.![]()





If you could stop this culture from killing the world by killing this culture, would you do it?















There are many stereotypes about the industry that I work in. Sometimes they can be true but human beings are very diverse creatures and cannot be pigeon-holed into one category.
Some of the most effortlessly beautiful, kind, intelligent, successful, motivated, driven and ridiculously hilarious women that I have ever met have been dancers. I've met the best friends that I've ever had in this industry.

So I guess I go with nature taking it's coarse , but that could also include murder now couldn't it ( it seems to play in with our species natural coarse ) .![]()





I don't have the heart or the set of balls to do that. Plus I believe it is not my right to take anyone's life away, unless that motherfucker is out to get me. lol.



Yes, done and done. Seems to only happen in sci-fi movies. For example last Transformer's movie, the planet is about to be changed killing billions of humans, by all means go ahead and kill a few of the humans standing in the way.





no i wouldn't, because "world hunger" is only a small part of the problem. ending world hunger alone wouldn't actually do as much as people think.




No. I just couldn't do it, nor could I justify it to myself even if I did have the stomach for it.
I'd offer up myself to be the killed-one if I thought it was for the significant greater good, but in complex systems small changes can lead to huge an unexpected side-effects (more so large changes). In this case no lack of food would almost certainly contribute further to over population, and if it's not food that we run out of as a resource, it will be something else like power, water, medicine, space, etc. It's not really the killing for the greater good that I have trouble with. It's that this is reminiscent of the story of the Genie and the 3 wishes. Presumably all kids have heard this one. If not, the premise is simple. No matter what the poor chump wishes for, there is always some trade-off, some un-anticipated side-effect so that by 3rd wish he invariably ends up asking that he had never made any wishes.

This is the first time in human history that we have enough food to feed the world. There is no such thing as world hunger anymore. It's what's mine is mine, and you'll never get it. If the "civilized" countries would share their resources, world hunger wouldn't happen. We have enough, more than enough, let's share!
