You might have noticed that more and more people can'r find work, there are more and more food shorteges in certain parts of the world, unsufficient resources for everybody i.e. water, electricity, and so on. The are many problems on a material plan, but we often forget what happengs on a moral level. From the moment i began existing as a conscient beying i have been feeling that life isn't valued enough or at all in our times and societies.
there's also the effect we have on the planet im not talking about our inpact on ecology (there is that too!!) i'm pointing out that we have made many spicies exting or on the verge of extinction, not to mention the enormous amount of resources we deploy often in detriment of other living creatures and other humans.
so the problems are here what are the solutions? is reducing our numbers is a solution?
its the same ratio... but thats not the same thing at all
A lot of people, or a little people. You will have the same ratio of crime, so whats the point? Using Dysphemisims, By KILLING OFF a bunch of people, you'll get rid of the bad eggs, sure, but you'll get rid of the good ones too. So you'll end up with less people, but the same ratio of crime. So yes, its all the same.
Although I don't think that it is a good idea to kill a whole bunch of people, I must consider what happened after the Black plague. The Renaissance happened. And in nature, the weakest are killed off and die out so that the strongest grow and become even stronger. So I have to wonder if a great catastrophe, even though it would be bad, couldn't also have a positive long term effect.

Something else that happened was that europeans were bolstered against AIDS... the same gene that saved some people from the black plague also happens to protect against AIDS... which is why non-europeans are more susceptible to contracting aids... i think thats interesting :P and
I wouldn't mind if all of Asia was kill suddenly. I wouldn't mind if all of the US died either.
the opening question is unfortunately true. Less population means more jobs, less food demand, and yes, there could be less crazies running around with nuclear firearms.
Morally correct? No. I'm not trying to be hitler, but unless we can become an extraterrestrial species, i think the human population will go NOWHERE.
But there is no really moral way to "lower the population on earth" without showing inhumanity. There is no definite answer that can satisfy all people to solve our troubles.
Please take into consideration that the OP didn't want to kill any humans, but rather influence population growth. There are other ways than to kill humans.
Exactly. If we ever have the technology, we could possibly colonize Mars and other worlds if Earth can't house us all. You don't have to kill anyone to lower the population.
It would certainly reduce hunger, and over population. You just need to cut out the people who don't benefit society at all. The lazy ones that don't work. But is that really moral?
there are different kinds of population, if reducing the population of the bad people it would reduce out troubles
Lol, you seriously think there are population of good people and population of bad people? How do you know that? How do you define good or bad? Who could say if it was justified to reduce some 'opulations' over others?

then you will be killing a lot of people since nowadays we work for ourselves. and "benefiting society" is very subjectiv. i.e: a cigaret company that sells it's product to people, is it beneficial to society (their product poisons and kills people)? on a different level liquior companies sell their goods which make people commit stupid acts, and sometimes crimes. how is it their work beneficial?
