The fourth image happened in my home town, of 30,000 people. Can happen anywhere folks. Link to the full video below; guy was driving drunk, realized cops were on him and tried to run, crashed (which killed his wife), then when he's climbing out of the wreckage gets shot by the cop. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=qmK8Ify3vi8

scumbag deserved to get lit up, fuck him. No wait, let's spend 3,000,000 on him instead to house him in prison. We have a real need for drink drivers that kill their partners and are not overpopulated at all.

Be careful who you declare a waste of life. It's a slippery slope to decide who deserves life and who doesn't. If you believe that overpopulation is something that needs to be addressed forcefully then why wouldn't you start with yourself? I don't understand this argument, declare that certain people are a waste of space that deserve to die and then spend an overly negative existence declaring that everyone else should die for the good of the planet. Life has an inherent value. Treat it as such. Golden fucking rule.

as if I haven't considered that already? Too busy being condescending I guess. Why would I start with myself when i'm not going around getting tanked up, taking police chases and killing my partner? You obviously fail to see any difference and I don't believe any life has inherent value. It depends on how you use that life. Fundamental disagreements in philosophy.

Here's a better question: Why do you support spending millions on a waste of space?

I don't support spending millions on a waste of space. I do, in fact regard some people as a drain on society. But it is not for me to devise or recommend a solution, and certainly not to condemn them. I am no one's judge. Then again, I believe in a higher power, and I believe in the sanctity of life, I think that's where we differ. Of course there's people walking around that we don't need. But I just don't see any way that we can define who deserves to live and who deserves to die. Who can truly say if someone deserves to die? And what if I were to look at your life and determine in my opinion that you just were not advancing humankind enough to justify the resources allocated to you? No one can have that kind of power or make that kind of decision, it's a moral impossibility.
