I say we just grab some shotguns kill every homeless person (let's face it they're dead anyway), and everyone over maybe 80 or so (they aren't helping anyone), and every idiot. We kill two birds with one stone, we cut back on the population and make the world a more intteligent place to live.
Ever heard of this little old thing called morality, Oh Great Budding Hitler?

The poorer children are as spoilt as the richer children; trying to explain the importance of conservation to them is wearying. Most happily sing "If You're Happy And You Know It Bomb Iraq", and haven't the smallest grasp of their own history, let alone that of Arabia or Babalon. Their cultural identities have been removed with sergical advertising and fast food. They seem to retain very few qualities of their homeland, and much more of American youths. Wasteful, indeed. Show me a significant proportion of teenagers protesting for America signing up to the Kyoto agreement, and I will immediatly retract this prejudice, damning, and downright stupid statement.
That is, indeed, a prejudiced, damning and downright stupid statement. As a living, breathing, thinking and feeling 16 year old (verging on 17), I take offense. However, I refer you to www.youthrights.org, where the forum-goers make an occupation of picking statements like that down to their bare, stupid bones and then incinerating the bones.
