Has anyone thought that there may be occasions when a cull of any type could mean the survival of the species, including humanity?

We're culling humans all the time. Just look at the wars caused by the military-industrial complexes of the Western powers.

Just look at the millions of people who die of starvation in Africa because of Western govt's trade practices. Banana republics, Oil republics, Coffee republics, Gold, Diamonds etc, etc.

We keep them poor, they starve but we become rich. It's the history of the West in dealing with so many other countries.

Then we complain about economic migrants and terrorists . . . it's largely our own fault for voting into power such horrible people in the first place (our politicians are veritable terrorists, according to one's perspective) .

We're so collectively  selfish and stupid and ignorant and uncaring.

Do you think drug kings and lords and ladies would be exempt?

You said drug dealers.. drug kin pins don't do 'deals' on the street etc.

Culling addictive drug dealers  - what  does that suggest that, drug dealers are addicts?

Typo? scralidge

---

Not on the ball tonight am3 ?

Dealers in addictive drugs are addictive drug dealers.

---

Not every person that trys drugs becomes addicted.

Are there drug dealers dealing in non-addictive drugs? Meet my friend X, he is a non-addictive drug dealer.

---

Chemists fall into that category.

Try "tries" now was that a typo or what? 🙂

You sure are not on the ball this morning are you?

it is just an excuse to reap revenue from the hopelessly addicted smokers, taking advantage of them, imo, they are no better than the hard drug dearers, in fact..worse

---

Of course, if we culled all the smokers there'd be no need for a tobacco tax.

---

and if we terminate the parents and the people whom run the education system whom punch out and produce insane people with mental addiction disorders, then the problem would be solved

Culling humanity: What group would you start with?

I would not cull anyone.

My current opinion is everyone has the right to life.

Equally, everyone has the right to end their own life.

Therefore, if anyone has the mindset that culling humans is an effective strategy for the survival of our species,

i will not interfere as they kill themselves.

It seems to me that if people who think\believe culling is an effective solution,

then surely they would express their advocacy of this policy by terminating their own lives.

But of course, they do not, for they simply seek to cull others they do not like or judge as inferior or harmful to others, totally ignoring the fact that killing others is harmful and universally judged as immoral\wrong.

Apparently, to Cullers, murdering others is okay...as long as those they kill are judged as not (capable of )living up to their own standards....(even though one of their standards is 'murder is morally ok')

So therefore i theorize they, Cullers, may suffer from any number of these human traits,

self righteousness\arrogance

narrow mindedness

weak mindedness

short sightedness

a propencity to avoid problems instead of working long term to solve them

low or no abiliy to empathise

severe issues with the ability to receive and give love

and possibly quite a few more as i did not allocate much time to exploring this issue.

Poachers in Africa and every other country that kills wildlife. All poachers should be given a one km start, that's more than they give the animals.
