VHEMT: May we live long and die out.

This site is very informative.

In my opinion, humans have had their go at earth, now, it's time for them to go. We've badly polluted the water, destroyed forest, and created sprawl.
Water is not longer safe to drink unless it his highly filter, chlorinated, rinsed and oxygenated.
Forests are being squared off for farmland, destroying the ecosystem and causeing animals to become endangered.
Urban Sprawl is causing the disappearance of many species per month.
Frogs and toads are slowly disappearing from earth, a sure sign that it is becoming overpopulated. By replacing asphalt with soil, important microbes and small animals are disappearing.

People in the other area, Overpopulation, have discussed lowering the birthrate. This won't at all, as people will still have children in secret. There is no way to lower the birthrate. Therefore, the VHEMT members know that breeding must be stopped altogether. There must be a way to stop people from breeding.
Then, we can turn off the generators and nuclear powers, demolish buildings except our own, and then, slowly die out. The last one left, can, as the page says, turn out the lights. the Earth will be restored to its former splendor, and new species may rise again.

Of course, women may complain, saying, "But don't you like babies?"
Babies are bloody wonderful, especially for use on B3TA boards, but it's the adults they grow up into that hurts.

i think this was put on here f--king aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaages ago, when the place was still split into 4 forums...

anyway, i think it's a pretty good idea, yeah...

it's a good idea, but the concept scares me... x_X;

The sooner the better, I say: Human need to go. mad.gif

VHEMT should be the first to remove themselves from the human gene pool.
miss_spunk
completely unrelated, but what part of Scotland are you from?
crazymat
I read that aaages ago... Its a good idea.. although I think it doesnt need to go on until theres no people left...

Uh...no. There is a way to lower the birthrate.

Much of Western Europe is now at zero population growth, or at least very near it. America isn't quite there yet, but we're getting close. I'm not sure about Canada, though. This means that the birthrate is approximately equal to the death rate and the population no longer increases. This happens as a nation grows more prosperous and receives more medical care, more knowledge about birth control, and people slowly start just naturally having smaller families.

As for a way to "stop people from breeding"..the only thing I can imagine would be forced sterilization. Uh, yeah. I'm sure THAT will receive some great public support. rolleyes.gif

I do not see voluntary human extinction ever happening. Sorry. Do you really think it will? You may think it's a nice idea (I sure don't), but realistically...? Do you think that the majority of people will just give up like that? I don't. Most of them don't even recycle. I doubt they'd be charitable enough to just say "Oh, let's just let our species die out." If a movement like this actually came to fruition (which I highly doubt), it would only lead to war. And war isn't exactly kind on the planet...especially with the possibility of a nuclear war. I guess that might achieve the purpose, if that itself wipes out all humans on the planet...because the earth would recover in time. But I seriously don't see it even getting CLOSE to that far.

I think it would be a far more realistic idea to pass more laws governing emission standards...make it mandatory to recycle...etc etc. Human extinction will not be voluntary, by any means.

A little stereotypical don’t you think!!! dry.gif think a little next time

I’m glad you posted this topic as I’ve never heard of such a thing It’s quite an interesting concept
CommieBastard
Then why don't you commit suicide, WW? Do your bit for voluntary human extinction.
JaJay721
I say VHEMT should be the first and I get flamed. Then Commie tells the thread starter to kill himself and everyone is cool with it. This forum is .. well.. yea whatever.

Excuse me? William Wallace's continuing existence is in direct contrast to his professed belief that humanity should be wiped out. He wants everybody to die, yet he continues to use up resources to keep himself alive.

Oh joy! I do so love the idea of very slow moving death cults... unsure.gif

Yea so you should suggest suicide. Good call. Very appropriate. Good job. Intelligent answer. Very good. Bravo...
CommieBastard
Are you going to present an objection to my suggestion, or are just going to be sarcastic?
JaJay721
Why didn't you tell these people to kill themselves?

To me that is hypocritical when you don't tell people who post here a lot anything, but the new guy gets the suicide note...
Mr Fuzzy
Let's keep things calm here everybody eh?
CommieBastard
Very well then, I hereby amend my previous statement. Why doesn't anyone who supports Voluntary Human Extinction kill themselves?
JaJay721
Because Debaser thinks that's an arrogant thing to say. She's gonna yell at you for being needlessly arrogant. You should edit your post before she sees it.
CommieBastard
He. And I doubt it. Even if he does, I stand by it.
JaJay721
HAHA Me TOO! We agree on something!
spiffilicious05
huh.gif Dude....If I ever start a movement it would be a hug cult. Infact I already have. Hugs are friendly, they're nice, and they can cheer you up. And no one gets hurt if you return the hug! Unlike these people who want us to slowly die out.....or like the one anti-porn guy site that can be located in one of the other posts (i think its in daft) but why does everyone want us to die out? I can see maybe a one child policy being put into effect like china's to stop ppl from having 8 kids...but jeez...I dont want to have the human race go via dinosaurs..I mean...some people I would love for them to join that but ...that'd just be mean lol ok ill stop rambling...

so all in favor of my hug movement say I..or yay...
If youre not say nay...


If I get enough of you huggers out there I'll start a post and we can be a hug cult together...infact...i think ill do that anyways...

ok im going to stop my incessant rambling now

::hugs for all:: laugh.gif
acidteardrop
i love you spiffy!

yes, a hug cult is a good idea. and an orgy is 5 people with their shoes off.

AND!

the anti porn anti-life guy is under the "seperation of church and state" thread inthe issues forum (thats this one)

AND!

this human extinction is wholheartedly stupid. if there were no humans, then there would be no animal that could reason. we are unique BECAUSE we have a very unique ability that is that we can reason. what relevance this has i was hoping someone else would know.
lets face it: humans are not evil bloodthirsty carnivores. bacteria do more damage to the eco system than well ever do, and thats because we have good people to protect such things
also, i find that its the people who say stuff like this that are usually the problem.

JaJay, i think debaser said what he did because you never seem to make light of a subject, even a thread in daft is worth serious discussion by you, commie, on the other hand has made a joke at the expense of the thread starter, in short, you post read as arrogant, commie's was light hearted

and i see no reason the human race should end, humans, are after all part of this world, the problem is progress, while we live in comfort (some of us) our technology is still so elementry that it produces harmful by-products, sitll, if star trek is anything to go by, we've only got a couple of hundred years to go...course there's stil world war 3 tongue.gif

Serious discussion.. this was my post before the little dude decided to flame me...

I see very little distinction between the two posts other than Commie's was directed towards a member of the board.

Funny how you take one post and see it as arrogant and the other as light-hearted.
Sir Psycho Sexy
i can't be bothered to try and get it through your thick skull, if you're going to argue the toss about everything theres no wonder debaser said what he said, if you're making a joke (which is out of character for you....do you have a sense of humour because i sure as hell havn't seen a post of yours where it's shown) then, for crying out loud, put a tongue.gif it really is that simple!!!
Sir Maxerpopple
Have these people ever heard of Darwinism? My god, voluntary extinction. Even I'm against that. Population control is a much better option, plus we get to SEE THE BETTER WORLD!

How should this population control be accomplished? Natural selection. This organization will assist in prolonging the life of our species. Hurrah! How beautifully ironic.

I say we kill anybody over 80, like the Inuit's used to(still?)do.

There was a Star Trek episode on it. Sounds incredibly insincere, to kill someone who has spent their entire life caring for you, and as soon as they become useless we knock 'em off. What about when you were a useless lump of 2 year old, should we have killed you?
gerbilfromhell
1) does ANYONE besides me get the impression that both the sites that WW has posted here are jokes? y'know, jokes. like the BCC website (search for 'shockingtruth' and you'll find it).
2) yes, it's true. if you support human extinction, by your principles you should kill yourself. commie was making a valid point.
3) people, stop spamming issues threads. responding with a smiley is spamming.
4) jay, stop insulting forumites. (especially the mods; they get enough sh*t as it is without blatant insulting) i suggest you read the rules again.
5) *edit* never mind, SPS said it before me. dry.gif

personally, I saw no difference between the two posts, and that JJ's was funny (yes Sean, so was yours) but yeah...

As for self annhilation - its not going to happen unless the world's population became TINY, and then extremely depressed...or ill. Not anytime soon smile.gif

It's just a suggestion. I've many more. like instead of maximum security prison we just send them to some deserted Isle and use them for our reality tv

besides, I think that the death rate will soon exceed the birth rate.
Sir Maxerpopple

Do you have any sort of morality at all?!?!

Think if you had to kill your grandparents when they turned 80. My god, have some respect, or are you for infanticide as well? mad.gif
William Wallace
My grandparents died at 70.

yes, Infanticide is fine if it is done for the greater good.

What about alternatives???

Natural selection is indiscriminate, don't you see the potential for eugenics here? If it was your infant I'm not sure you wouild be so ready to kill it "fopr the greater good".

Please tell me that you're joking.

I don't understand how anyone could see infanticide as being "for the greater good."

And William...you never answered my earlier question. Do you seriously see this ever happening?
Sir Maxerpopple
No, but we all have our dreams. I have a dream of a world without technology, back pre-iron age. Will it happen? Of course not. But, we can dream.

However William's dream is misguided--there are alternatives to mass suicide, and William--YOU ARE IN A DEATH CULT.

Bows and exits, waiting for que for next scene.
CommieBastard
WW, you still haven't answered my question. Why are you still talking to us? Why aren't you dead yet?

*ques next scene*

jay. youve been told many times to READ THE RULES! do we need to like you to them? its at the top under the big blue banner. READ IT!

dont go trolling. if there is oen thing worse than spamming and flaming combined its people like you who go around trolling everyone. STOP IT!

as for voluntary human extinction, its a stupid idea, and if so much as one person doesnt agree then the whole thing is useless. obviously we have many people who dont agree. though i guess itd be cool if the last people left on earth were matzonians. then we'd have one hell of a society!
Sir Maxerpopple
I"ve just realized, most of the members of this movement must be depressed teenagers. Of course! Who hates the world more than teenagers who want to die today and live in the nether realm!

That's gonna get me flamed.
CommieBastard
Maxerpopple-dude...you are SO right.
Mingtea
Yeah cool! then we can dress up in funny robes and have a mass suicide.

Or we could not.

You have no love man..... i see no hope for you.

My sense if compassion has been taken over by anger, spite, and furiousness of the intrinsic stupidity of "higher man".
