    Default Poor people

    Should they be neutered? It would fix many social problems, such as overcrowding of cities, disease, and the Welfare state. Discuss here.

    I was poor for a few years in my life. There was a war and me and my family were refugees who depended on relatives and food for refugees. We managed to crawl and claw our way back to normal. So no, poor people should not be neutered.

    It can happen to you too Shyam. I hope it does not, but still....one earthquake, flood, war (OK depends where you live)...

    Maybe sterilize those who would sterilize poor people since they are suffering from a very serious mental illness? It would fix a lot of social problems.

    And yeah right, a financial state is genetics. Moreover, it's hereditary! Why not sterilize unemployed people too?

    Because we don't have a thing called "class mobility" in the West. I second PowerWizard's suggestion. What is the purpose of sterilization if the condition is not genetic.

    The purpose is trolling of course because of this.

    or we could just use their children for food, ie, "A Modest Proposal".

    or, dare I say it, actually do something about it. oh my god, that would be too hard though.

    Wait, does that mean we exterminate poor people like Vlad III the Impaler did??

    Background story: There was a story about how Vlad III the Impaler once opened a feast on his capital and invited all the beggars (one story says criminals) for free. During the middle of the feast he left the feast hall, ordered to close the door of hall so no one could come out, and burned the hall down, with all people attending the feast inside. He would then claim that "so there would be no poor people (or criminals, depends what version you believe) in my city!!"

    I CLAIM SYNONYMS MR. MODERATOR! and I'd rather not bring God into this, as what might happen in the EMM.

    anyway, I have to say that preventing someone from having a child would only prevent them from needing to feed another mouth. They still would engage in unprotected sex, and they would still use whatever money they did have, which might be more without the child, to buy booze.

    But neither of said things are only native to the poor, so the amount of money someone is worth should not be taken into account when they want to mate.

    I honestly think there'd be MORE social problems if this was put into place. There'd be people who hate hte poor even MORE, because we would stop seeing them as human, more like slaves that do all the dirtiest of jobs, not reproducing to inflate their numbers, but just by the merits of capitalist society and the spread of resources, people fall into this mire of poor-ness where they have no opportunity to climb their way out. I prefer not to doom someone for life, or to doom them for eternity, for they would have no children- whole families would die out.

    On a side not the proposal to sterilize poor people is a political indeed, as politics is about the decisions of the community. The other two adjectives I would use to describe Shyam's proposal is:
    • imbecile or morally insane - the government that agrees to rooting out those people from existence who had the darker side of life, is simply admitting it is unable to cope with the problem it created in the first place (f.e. with the benefits of the welfare state).
    • totalitarian - as it regards society as a science lab, that can be experimented upon. Well, we've heard of a totalitarian ideology that urged the deracination of rich ("bourgeious") people - it's called communism, never heard of something that proposes the deracination of poor people though, I guess it could be called Fascist Communism, Shyamism or simply Trolling.

    Just because I'm bored I'll respond to this
    If overpopulation in the west was due to poor people, then it would work.
    If diseases were a result of poor living conditions, then it could work.
    If poverty was created solely by being born into a poor family, then it would work.

    They say you trollin, but no hatin,
    I know you aint srsly postin dirtay

    No it wouldn't. End of thread. Goodbye.
    A new mobile phone tower went up in a town in the USA, and the local newspaper asked a number of people what they thought of it. Some said they noticed their cellphone reception was better. Some said they noticed the tower was affecting their health.

    A local administrator was asked to comment. He nodded sagely, and said simply: "Wow. And think about how much more pronounced these effects will be once the tower is actually operational."

    [sarcasm]That explains why in Denmark there are only 5 mill people :o [/sarcasm]

    refuse to vote on such a beep poll. There are no poor people in Denmark, only those who chose to drink on the train stations (they say they are social drunktards this way)

    We should sterilize the whole human race. That'll literally fix every problem we have right now.
