Well given the highest rates of infant mortality are found in Africa due (largely) in part to Africans doing nasty things to other Africans I think it's a fair social commentary <.< Sue me for actually saying it's a problem.

But if you'd like a list of all types of nations and races around the world breeding out of control I'd also like to give two thumbs down to Indians for having rampant human rights issues, unnecessary poverty and disease.

Oh and Americans <.< People like Octomom or whatever make me sick. That being said Australia is going through a bit of a baby boom as well so I just realized despite massive inflationary problems at the moment and huge land prices which will marginalize Australian families to the very farthest reaches of major cities leading to further inequities of social services and problems with transport.

So yeah, another trend I'd like to get rid of.(or atleast fix public transport and rural services before it becomes a problem).

Because they're defenseless and innocent. They can't have done anything to deserve death, which makes their death a much less meaningful(or more meaningful, depending on how you look at it) waste of life then the death of an adult.

I'm sure this already been said after 4 pages, but, what the hell. A little post-count padding never hurt anybody. There. Now if I get suspended for that, people can follow the link for a big dose of irony.

:3 Yeah. That being said I'm still a romantic :[ If anything we're little Hitlers that bash people with the 'moral hammer'.

That being said, I'll still brazenly eat a hamburger in front of protesting vegetarians at Uni so I can still be a bit of fun, if only cos I like to IRL troll. Internet doesn't do it for me anymore <.<

Yeah I would actually prefer to hear a child has been killed then an adult..The kid contributes nothing and there are plenty more where he/she came from. I know that sounds really bad and would never say that out loud but there is always some misguided belief that because you are under 18 your life is somehow regarded as more valuable or have more worth.

I get more upset when I see an animal has been hurt or killed than a person. I watch the news and I see "10 dead in bombing, including 2 children" and I'm like, meh, but if I see an animal cruelty story I am initially saddened by it and then I think what I would like to do to the people inflicting the cruelty.

Because the child hasn't gotten to experience any of that stuff adults have. They HAVEN'T gotten the chance to experience true happiness, or love, or any of that other sappy stuff. They had so much to live for. While an adult hasn't necessarily lived their full life, they've at least lived part of it.

From a contrarian point of view from my other argument it could be the whole John Locke-style 'tabula rasa' argument. That children represent purity of thought and deed ... which I personally reckon is bullshit because I reckon 'Lord of the Flies'-style situation children would be just as cruel as adults in a recently emergent tribal situation.

I think people also think this given every post-apocalyptic game ever made the children are little bastards.

That being said I don't think children are capable of true hate. So when a society is literally shitting itself due to ethnic genocide and religio-racial problems arise, people outside the conflict see the children IN the conflict as being the society's last-best hope for peace and sanity.

Which always ends in tears really because the kids grow up to be just as bad as their parents ... the only difference is that unlike their forefathers they never knew peace .... which makes them worse than their fathers and grandfathers.
