Offensive Question to some, Please Answer?

Question

Aren’t we going against nature, shouldn’t the weak and lame, be taken of? I mean if we were a herd of antelopes, the sick and weak would be the first to go and get picked off. Why do we spend our money keeping them alive, if they have nothing left to offer society? Why do we keep prisoners serving life sentences alive, why do feed, clothe and entertain them, should, we just execute them and save more money? Same with the mentally ill, if there beyond any treatment, I mean, drugs that won’t help, why do we feed and clothe them also? Shouldn’t we just put them down?

A Gas Chamber, can kill many at once.

Yes I would be able to put a family member down.

Ok a how about Nerve Gas, that is released in a small room, full of people.

Answer 1

As evil as it makes me sound...I agree with you. I really think we should take any and all repeat offenders and put them on an island and let them kill eachother. It'd be cheaper and less labor intensive than rehabilitation or the death penalty. No matter what, I don't think these individuals shoud be allowed to live, it's just a waste of money and a threat to society.
As far as the mentally handicapped, I agree. I think it's really a part of natural selection and evolution. These people are the weaker links, and you're right, in nature they would be picked off, so why do we waste so much money and resources trying to let them live when most of them don't have the mental capacity to recognize what we're doing.
So, I agree that it would be logical to put these people down. However, ethically I think most people would have a problem with what esentially boils down to murder... if only everyone else bothered to think like us

Answer 2

That which you seem to advocate is the quickest road to mediocrity and the loss of value-comprehension. It is often the infirm, handicapped, crippled,
whatever term seems applicable, that give us a true sense of what life is about.

I have seen crippled, challenged children overcome diffiulties that would make the average person, perhaps like you, sit down and whine. And,
a society could look at you and say, "Well, the way this person thinks, he/she is infirm, below standard- to the incinerator. It has been tried.

You should be concerned with what you can achieve and set about doing it rather than concentrating on what others cannot. Churchill was laughed at and pushed from Politics, yet unified England at a very dark moment in its history. Lincoln failed at nearly everything he attempted except the Presidency.

Answer 3

I agree with you about the "life" sentences. I read a book about the youngest girl ever on death row (she is 18) and shes STILL waiting to die and its allready been like 2 years. I wonder what the hell is taking so long because shes wasteing out money. But as far as the mentally ill people still love them and visit them and spend time with them. In all technicality i guess they are somewhat waiting to die but they still arn't brain dead they know somewhat a little bit of whats going on. Its not the fault that they have this disability or whatever.

Answer 4

Because that would be morally wrong. Some people are against the death penalty; I am against it; and life sentence is worse than the death penalty. Also the mentally ill are PEOPLE too. They have emotions, thoughts, even though they do not think the way regular people think; they still can understand what we are trying to say. So absolutely not. Everybody is equal.

Okay, we are not Hilter's Nazi's; We don't use gas chambers

Answer 5

No. It is not our right to decide who should live and die. Why should one person be able to decide over another? That sounds to me like what Hitler tried to accomplish along with genocide of the Jewish people. I don't think we should entertain the prisoners or give them priveledges, they don't deserve them. There is always hope that new medications and treatments will be discovered to help the mentally ill, so we shouldn't give up on them. They can't help how they are and deserve the right to live in peace.

Answer 6

Geez, the number of moronic idiots that show up on the site continually astounds me. "Put them down?". Give your head a shake. Executions cost far more money than keeping someone alive. And as far as the rest, you're still allowed to exist given you fit the second category.

Answer 7

Our society is only as strong as our weakest member. It takes everyone within a society to make it work.
Be careful making a judgment call, it simply isn't your job. Everyone is on this earth for a reason,most people are blessed to have a family and others who care about their personal welfare. Don't worry, God has it all under control.

Answer 8

We are humans and there's a difference between us and animals. Come and work here @ the mental hospital I'm at and that'll give you a second thought about eliminating people. You almost sound like Hilter with those thoughts.

Answer 9

And if you get to pick two groups to get rid of and then they are all gone and then it is someone else's turn to pick two groups and their first choice is introverts into biology - etc. and so on - what happens then This is a cruel world but we do all have to get along at some point or we are the ones dead.

Answer 10

i don't take my frustrations or vent my foul temper onto somebody else that had not something to do with the way that i'm feeling. I do have faith nevertheless that stupid questions warrant stupid solutions. as some distance because of the fact the blatantly sexist questions approximately GS, i in my opinion think of maximum of them are in basic terms for humor to verify what form of reaction they might troll out of others.
