WHY NOT USE ZYKLON B?
Melbourne neuroscientist Dr John Reid ponders means of rescuing the planet:
War, Pestilence, and Famine, three of the horsemen of the apocalypse, can bring about a reduction in the human population. But these kill on a scale of tens of millions, which is not enough to solve the problem of over-population. And they are most brutal in the ways they kill. Consequently, let us consider the alternative ...
The next most human way to reduce the population might be to put something in the water ...
Reid believes “the world’s most affluent populations should be targeted first”.
(Via Brendan L.)
Good heavens - is this bloke for real? This must be satire?
Meat will be rationed to no more than, say, 200 grams per person per week.
That would be one quarter pounder with cheese only per week and no other meat?
If he IS serious I’d suggest immediate treatment before he kills off his neighbours, friends and family

Mr Reid aught to have no choice in the matter, after making these sorts of statements he and his kind aught to be nominated and then dispatched… I’d do it in a heart beat, then we could ask “who else has any bright ideas???”
We could then toss his worthless carcass somewhere, it might even provide fertiliser for something worthwhile… And we’d be saved having to listen to this @rse…
Meanwhile University of Texas Prof. Eric Pianka, the Texas Distinguished Scientist of 2006, advocates mass murder by virus to reduce world population by 5 billion people.
At least the communists used to pretend to like people. Sheesh.

Posted by aussiemagpie on 2006 12 12 at 12:25 PM • permalinkWe take you to a San Francisco doctor’s office in the year 2020 where an expectant couple await the test results for their “unborn”.
Doctor: I’m afraid I have some bad news for you.
Couple: Oh!,“it” shows some evidence of a horrific disease or malady?
Doctor: Oh no, your child will be perfectly healthy except for….
Couple: What!? What!?
Doctor: Well…I’m afraid “it” tested positive for the….conservative gene.
Couple: Ughhh! Well, I guess we have no choice then do we doctor?
Doctor: No,no you don’t. I will make the arrangements.There is a fascinating chapter in Walker Percy’s novel, The Thanatos Syndrome, in which a priest describes why he entered the priesthood. The decision to do so came about as a result of the man’s experiences as a GI in WWII and his visit to (or perhaps liberation of, I can’t quite recall) one of the death camps. The death camp episode is tied back to a time before the war, when the man had been a youngster visiting relatives (or friends) of his father living in Germany, who were all intellectuals and scientists. The stark contrast between the light-hearted gaiety and humane refinement of these scientists before the war, and the brutal participation by these same scientists in the “final solution” during the Nazi era is, I think, illustrative of the sometimes very thin line that separates the humane from the diabolical. This is one reason why scientists should not necessarily be given a lot of credence outside their fields of expertise, and why a fine mind unguided by a loving heart is such a potentially deadly peril.

7. Organic farmers
6. The Cuban medical establishment
5. Socio-political entities that have engaged in terrorist activities
4. Iranian Holocaust scholars

Someone is wishing for a plague to wipe us out. Keep your telephone clean.
So, in order to solve the world’s population crisis, we basically eliminate the United States(SURPRISE!), representing 5% of the planet’s population and a leading contender to produce scientific solutions to some of these problems, and we leave the high-breeding,non-productive 95% remaining to, what,eat each other?
Fucking nutcase.
Proof that a PhD in Neuroscience (or any other field for that matter) doesn’t necessarily confer wisdom.
Posted by closeapproximation on 2006 12 12 at 02:53 PM • permalink#14 - No, the apocalyptic doom projections are the Y2K scare of… the last century. The problem is, once we crossed Al Gore’s “Bridge to the 21st Century” it became obvious what a scam Y2K was. However, for whatever reason once we passed the Grim Milestones predicted by the Paul Erlich types (always sometime in the 1970s) and it became obvious that their proponents were suffering from rectal-cranial impaction, we immediately, uh… well, we kept listening to them anyway.
Posted by Steve Skubinna on 2006 12 12 at 03:18 PM • permalinkThe 20th Century produced such extraordinary people that helped keep this planet, from over population. Yes the Hitlers, Stalin’s, Mao’s, the Imperial Japanese, the Pol Pot’s. I could go on and on, but these are hero’s all.
Now, someone must pick up the slack in this 21st Century…Islamists, Kim Jong Il, Hugo Chavez, you are all pretenders…try as you may, you will never equal the greatness of those mentioned before you. Who led the way?
I say study and learn from Dr. John Reid. You can’t go wrong with him. Let us kick it up a notch, shall we? Begin with some nuclear explosions, easily done, plenty around, or have created, some vile laboratory virus or bacteria, spread with reckless abandon.
My, what a grand old time will be had. I mean Dr. Reid is only speaking of a billion or so…Hey, thought just occured…aren’t there a billion or so, Islamics?
I think these people should have a little more faith in the free market because, ultimately, it’s just human beings running things and we’re not stupid enough to trade our way into oblivion.
Even if there is a climate threat, I have faith that it is capitalism and not eco-mentalism that will save us.
Always with the totalitarian coercion, these guys.
You’d think utopian progressivism would have gotten a bad name after the last century. But, then again, Leftism really IS a religious cult.
Thisnk I’m kidding. You can buy ‘carbon credits’ to ‘offset’ your contribution to the planet’s demise, much the way sinners once bought indulgences from the church as a form of penance.
Wow, where does one begin?
Dr John Reid:
Communist (redistribution of wealth) - checkFascist(Nazis were very keen conservationists and founders of the modern environmental movement) - check
Eugenics Supporter (supports genocide of Anglo Saxons and Asians) - check
Misanthrope (Human beings are self-deluders) - check
Religious Nutter (Pantheist of a sort: ‘The precepts of the Abrahamic religions, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam represent the quintessential perversion of the human mind. They must be abandoned and the notion of the sanctity of human life must be subjugated to the greater sanctity of all life on Earth.’) - check
He’s not only a paranoid psychotic, but he is also given a serious form on the ABC. This guy needs to be exposed for the lunatic he is.
Here is his profile.
My God I’ve just discovered how he plans to reduce the world’s population - all his work on reducing trauma car crashes must be a furphy - he wants people to die.
The Federal Government has given him grants in pursuit of reducing car accidents, but Nick and I know through a professional association that the man’s work in this field is flawed.
Now we know why.

Posted by The Thin Man Returns on 2006 12 12 at 04:55 PM • permalinkI say again that people like this Dr. Reid dream of the idyllic, pastoral life of yesteryear (never mind that it never existed). In this feudal utopia, most people will have magically vanished, and all that are left are worthy people like himself who will be protected from all the necessary nastiness, and who will live a life eased by the surviving servant class.
He should move to Saudi Arabia.
Why do dinosaur leftist academics treat the laughbly discredited Paul Ehrlich as if he were some sort of Messiah? The Population Bomb is NOT f-ckin’ scripture. It couldn’t have possibly turned out any more wrong than it was. Wake up, you ninnies!

Um, no. They’re called Malthusians, they know nothing about economic development, they’ve been around for hundreds of years, and it is one of our primary responsibilities as members of Western civilisation to keep their grasping, sweaty hands away from the levers.
I live in Vermont, so I have my share of run ins with moonbats.
I tried to even get into an argument with a guy at a Green Party desk with a Bush was behind 911 banner. But after realizing how pitifully slow witted he was, I skulked away embarrassed. It gave me a new appreciation for many web commenters however.
But anyway, to my point, one of my ‘neighbors’ had a bumper sticker which said “Thank you for not breeding.”, I want a bumper sticker that says, “No, thank you for not breeding!”
If I ever see the guy at the store or something, I am going to shake his hand and thank him properly.

Greenies hate people. They get off by imagining scenarios where vast numbers of people die.
I wonder if the thought ever enters their tiny little minds that it is through the achievements of the affluent West that they have survived to adulthood, long enough to entertain their genocidal fantasies.

That’s classic. Bravo, coach.
Posted by Spiny Norman on 2006 12 12 at 07:12 PM • permalinkAnd I’ll take this opportunity to repeat… those who study such things know that plague and war do *not* reduce the population in any sort of way that *sticks*. Populations rebound from those sorts of injuries in short order, usually making up the difference in the population growth that would have occured without the injury at the very same time. Not only are they “brutal” ways to kill people but they *don’t* reduce population.
If Dr. Reid were paying attention *at all* he would know that.
It truely is a religion, where truth is a matter of faith rather than evidence or data. We *know* what reduces the population and we now observe negative fertility in places with those conditions. Yet this supposedly smart person is seriously talking about human beings like we talk about feral cats and “spay and release” programs?
The eugenics movement brought us horrors. Big splashy ones like Nazi Germany and the sorts almost no one has ever heard of in America and other “good” places with “good” people. The quiet genocides.
At least a war is honest. There are no lies and no denying that you’ve killed someone. All that distasteful brutality… wouldn’t want Dr. Reid to dirty his hands?
#77 paco, #80 merlin,
insane/outrageous, inspired/brilliant, it’s all here. I’m almost (but not quite) embarassed how much I laugh at what comes up on my screen.
You people need to come on a fishing trip with me & the husband. You’ll die laughing, get eaten by a croc or come out alive with a decent barramundi. Unfortunately, no broadband.
‘The precepts of the Abrahamic religions, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam represent the quintessential perversion of the human mind. They must be abandoned and the notion of the sanctity of human life must be subjugated to the greater sanctity of all life on Earth.’
he’s got a point about islam, but that an educated, no doubt government funded scientist should be spewing this kind of genocidal misanthropic crap is alarming.
guess this means stalin, mao, pol pot et al were valiant eco warriors
Posted by eeniemeenie on 2006 12 12 at 07:57 PM • permalinkTwo solutions:
1. Make him read Mark Steyn’s latest, America Alone, and whe his head explodes, bury him.
2. Begin building three giant Space Arks. The A Ark to carry the people who make things work, the engineers, the physicists, the greath thinkers, etc. The B Ark to carry folks like Dr. Reid, all activists, PETA members, bureaucrats, hairdressers, fashion designers, etc. The C Ark to carry all those who do the actual labor to manufacture goods, build roads, maintain infrastructure, etc.
Launch the B Ark first headed into the Sun.
Or, of course, cut this guy’s mike.

This so called intellegent individual really just shows what happens when the Gaia worshippers get a hold. Victoria is riddled with them, remember Singer, Suzuki et el. I wish he and his ilk would do world population a favour, and have a chat with with Dr Nitchze. Am I being to harsh?
“They must be abandoned and the notion of the sanctity of human life must be subjugated to the greater sanctity of all life on Earth”
Yes. For the sake of all human life, he needs to be pulled out of the gene pool now.
And such is the central tenet of socialism; the needs of the individual must be sacrificed to the needs of the collective. And, of course, the Party chooses what those needs are and who shall be sacrificed for them. RESISTANCE IS FUTILE.
I’ve been upset about this all day because my parents came to Australia to escape this Nazi idealogy from Austria
It’s not at all funny for people like me whose parents lived through the horror of Nazism
Now this Nazi is invited to speak this horrible stuff on the taxpayer funded ABC as well as write about it elsewhere!
This man is a poisonous enemy of humanity
Posted by aussiemagpie on 2006 12 13 at 10:52 AM • permalinkThankfully, we are rarely subjected to pure evil, but this is as good an example as I’ve seen for a while. It is hatred of the good because it is good—writ large; all of his most vicious attacks are against the most productive humans beings, precisely because they are productive beyond scratching out a mere existence.
Dr. Reid is explicitly against human life. He doesn’t want to save the earth—what for?—but wants mankind reduced to the perceptual level of existence along with the other animals. This, from a “neuroscientist”. I suppose that in this way he might, just might, have a chance to be considered something other than that which we rightfully scrape from the bottom of our shoes before entering human habitations.
Interesting that a neuroscientist specialising in the area of cognition proposes such a - ah - biological
solution…Reminds me of a professor who lectured years ago on population control. He stated that women after menopause should have their uteruses excised because they’re useless after all.
I was too startled to ask him if he proposed to yank out the prostates of all elderly men, including his.
