Well, if you believe the whole climate change narrative from the Left, it's kind of hard to say that global overpopulation isn't playing a big part in it.

As technology advances, the need for people to do the work declines.

Oh and BTW.... people ARE animals.

We're just animals with really big brains.

Recently I have heard about people dying, who:

Were in and out of jail and prison (Or serving a life term with no chance of release.)

Never held a job and were supported by their family

Beat their wife and abused his parents

Drug addicts

Were in and out of hospitals and lived in misery and prayed to die

Old people who lived longer than they should of. Senile in nursing homes for years and years.
Who determines these things? You? The government? One political party?

Would you be willing to let another person determine if this applies to you or any of your family members?

There are millions of unborn humans who are aborted due to people who feel the way you do, about "no value to society" humans, about their unborn child. What the hell good has that done for our country? The world?

If all those people died, there wouldn't be any registered democrats anymore. Who would then vote for San Fran Nan and Joe Biden?


Shouldn't we stop and show some concern for Joe and Nancy? What about their feelings?

I realized that and should have edited it to livestock.

I would disagree with your premise, our "culture" does not say we should mourn "everyone", I'm not sure where you are getting that from. But then again, considering there are many cultures represented here on CD, it's hard to even know what you mean by "culture".

Plus, while you start with the notion of "mourning", it appears that isn't what you're really referring to? Can you clarify a bit, are you talking about the notion of actively pruning individuals based on certain criteria or are you just saying that we shouldn't feel bad when those folks eventually pass?

The nazis had the same logic when they came up with their final solution too.

I don't think an individual gets to judge the worth of another individual. It is totally subjective and simply not quantifiable.
