Thank you. The whole purpose of my thread was not to insult people who have not (yet) had children, but to honor those who have. Like I said in a previous post, the cockroach is even more successful in life to promoting their species.

I certainly did not want people to think that I thought they were "failures in life" for not doing that. I am not capable ...[text shortened]... .. just seems to me that THAT remark is something that people should think about.

Cheers
So, I conclude that you would be in favour of eliminating everybody who cannot get kids, or who has already 'succesfully achieved immortality' and won't have anymore kids, with the aim of maximising the resources available for the breeders and maximising their chance of succes. Also, you would start at the earliest age possible, no?

Any more conclusions you want to draw from all this? Go ahead, let no moral or ethical norm stop you ....

From reading what you post.

Then you need to take a logic class. A+B=C and if A is true and B is true then C is true...

But A+B does not equal D, which is what I would give you if you were one of my students. (heaven forbid)

It is you that needs to take a logic class.

Your opinion is that we are here purely to reproduce. The logical progression from that is that anyone who has no intention of reproducing or cannot reproduce has no point, and therefore has a meaningless existence. The logical progression from that is that they be eliminated, because the whole point in our lives is to be baby factories.

That progression of logic is YOUR opinion and is not substantiated in anything I have said.

Perhaps it is you who needs to take a logic course?

Ok, what is your opinion on people who have not reproduced, and have no intention of reproducing?

Jesus Christ.

if A is the only meaning of life then obviously all ~A has no meaning.
if ~A has no meaning then if you cannot A then you may as well not exist.

This doesn't make sense anyway. For starters, The first part assumes A and B are boolean variables because you referred to them as "true". If that is the case, then you cannot do an A+B (unless the + is used to represent a logical operator, such as AND or OR).

Lets assume that you have used + as a logical operator, whether it is AND or OR, then A+B will be true, therefore, as you correctly stated, C will also be true.

It falls apart when you say A+B does not equal D, because that will be assuming that D is false, which you haven't stated. If D is true then A+B will equal D.

Actually, we took what you said literally. You literally said "sole purpose." That means "only." There is no other way to interpret that. There is nothing to infer. You did not say "main purpose" or "this is my opinion; what's yours? Let's discuss this." You made a pronouncement.

Shouldn't this be in 'Debates'?

[b]More important and successful in reproducing life!


No wonder some people flipped out over that statement. They took it the way you did.[/b]
A: "You know what, I made a great discovery! 2 + 2 = 5!"
B: "What do you mean, 2 + 2 = 5??? That's complete nonsense!"
A: "You are misinterpreting what I said! Here's what I said: 'You know what, I made a great discovery! 2 + 2 = 5!' Of course I meant that 2 + 2 = 5 - 1. I thought that was really obvious"

Sometimes instructions from the Mother Ship are hard to understand by us retarded rednecks. Not you, Nordlys. I think it best to let Error Kissed play with his soulmates without interference from the rational world. You choose what's best from your point of view.

Cheers.

Are you beginning to understand?
This is the kind of wisdom I look to the older generation for.
