Why worry about it? :rolleyes: You're just scheming to get attention and/or because you're just bored.

And, others lack social skills...what's your point? :rolleyes:

Oh dissed.

[Son of Belial]

Poorly.

[Walmas]

I disagree. He said you lack social skills. However untrue it was was made up by the skill it was delivered in.

The only drawback i see is emotion getting in the way. So the only way to do it would to have a governtment that was super controllive tot he ends that it prevented people from lashing out because of emotion.

But after a couple generations of effectively doing so there would be quite a good possibility of this bringing about peace/prosperity for the survivors.

See? Somebody is making some sense.

Except, those who were "survivors" would not understand what "peace/prosperity" means or be able to react to it in an emotional way. Kinda pointless I'd say.

No the killings would be accepted and since there would be none to speak out against the government and the people that support it there would be peace. And prosperity would result from there being more resources per person so prices would fall, if all people with infectios or genetic diseseas were kill we would prosper by removing them from our gene pool.

Whats the point of emotions, if they are a barrier between us and peace/prosperity then get rid of them.

Sounds pretty fallible to me. :rolleyes: One would have to be unconscious for emotion to leave them. Is not your post driven by emotion?

[ghost_stalker]

Depends on how you define emotion.

I would say that my post contained little or no emotions (it may get emotional responses from ppl but it itself contained no emotion) it was a clear prediction based on knowledge (something like a hypothesis).

If it were emotional it would have used lines that make a person think that if they were in thay situation how would they react to it, and possibly a line or two cohersing them to think a certain way.

Well, let's see...

I'd say that's a line trying to coherse someone to think a certain way and/or states the way you feel about emotions. Also, it's your ideology of what peace/prosperity consists of. Another may feel emotions play a major part in gaining peace/prosperity.

[Son of Belial]

That was his opinion, and opinions are not all based upon emotions. An ideology does not have be based upon emotions.

[ghost_stalker]

Finally someone that can understand another persons point of view.

There are so many people here that have their heads so far up their ass that they cannot see anything but themselves.

[Son of Belial]

You're preaching to the choir on that one dude.

To think without emotion is non-human. Opinions, by their very nature, are emotional. Otherwise, it is not opinion but rather explicit information gathered without consciously creating a viewpoint on the matter. The way one views something is, usually, based upon a past event and, thus, they "feel" a certain way towards it. Is not emotion about feeling?
