BuzzerBeater Forums

Regardless, the main problem with always looking backwards is that you become afraid to look to the future. Afraid to try anything that has been tried before simply because, "It didn't work last time."

How about try sharing? I don't think that has been tried before. There is enough food, land and water to go around for everyone. Enough for 7 billion people and even 100 billion people. But the world is consumed by greed and corruption.

How do you explain 1% of the worlds population controlling 90% of the worlds wealth?

Governments, nations and even systems will come and go, it has been proven. Babylon, Romans, Greeks etc all were mighty but look at them struggle now. USA and Britain will fall in the same path. Then China then whoever the next world power is. It will continue to come and go unless humans learn to share, be compassionate and love thy neighbour.

Oh no, did you hear an idea you didn't like? Curled up into the foetal position again? :P

Next you'll be posting about how awesome Hitler was and how all the Jewish people he murdered were just collateral damage.

*reluctantly put my popcorn down*

This would have to be the single most irrelevant and ridiculous comment of this entire thread

*quickly runs back to seat*

It's so annoying that all the other forums like BB Australia, my own league (which is expected), the federation and now this forum are so dead except for the occasional post besides this thread which is starting to become a useless discussion because none of these ideas are ever (or at least in the foreseeable future) going to become reality.

So guys please finish it and get back to talking about this great game - buzzerbeater!

What, you don't think its likely that the world governments will conspire to execute 6 billion people?

You are right, sharing is how we should go. I am very much in favour of no one owning any property personally, and everyone having equal wealth. Sort of in a communism type state.

100 billion people though? I am not convinced that we have enough resources to support such a high population and still allow people to have a comfortable living style. There simply isn't enough water, or space, or even food to support that many people.

We have doubled the human population in the last 50 years. What is going to happen 50 years from now? Or 100 years?

You are right though, systems come and go. But humans are greedy. They won't ever want to share.

The US, the UK, Canada, Germany and many other nations have already forced sterilisation upon people in the past. No doubt it will happen again. If we want to take Yoda's line of reasoning to support this: History will repeat itself.

China enacted the one child policy.

Eugenics will happen.

That wasn't an idea, that was more dribble. Surely you can't actually believe any of the stuff you've posted to be true?

If you believe any of your earlier rubbish, you're living in a fantasy land, hiding behind hypotheticals that you seem to think make you look intelligent. There's nothing intelligent about anything you've posted, so get down off your high horse, get out of your glass house and try living in the real world, instead of being a condescending and sanctimonious idiot.

It was a hypothetical to show that a girl's life isn't worth more than the life of the millions of cancer patients. It is a simple example I was giving to show that if a situation arises where one life can be sacrificed to provide a benefit to many people, then it should be done. This is the reasoning behind the death penalty. If one innocent person has to die to ensure that thousands of murderers and rapists die as well, then it is an acceptable loss. The army takes into account acceptable losses when making battle plans. Presidents consider the consequences of their actions, or inactions, and how many people will die when making decisions. You can't save everyone. The centre for disease control must suggest evacuation plans in the case of a highly contagious disease, and sometimes they have to accept that they leave people behind to save others. Quarantines are another such example where you have to contain all the people in a building in the event of an outbreak. You might be putting those people's lives in danger by keeping them in the quarantine zone, but you are saving the other members of society. If you think that there is never a circumstance when an innocent person has to be sacrificed then it is you that is living in the fantasy world.

Because Communism has been so effective before?

Communism is great in theory. Doesn't work in practice because people are selfish and greedy. But imagine if everyone had the same amount of money, everyone had access to all the food that they needed, access to free education, free health care, free everything. Life would be awesome.
