I am very much okay with that.  Since we as a species are unwilling to actually use the resources at our disposal to do something meaningful about it, then I see no reason not to expunge a massive amount of our excess population.  And no, I care NOTHING for the suffering of other people.  If they can't hack it that is their problem, I've already had to deal with life or death situations that most of them can't even conceptualize.

So edgy.     Why you even in the "Save the world" thread if you have no interest in it?

Welp, so much for the bug eating idea?  Or at least it needs more study.

Have you been shot at?  Stabbed?  Thrown out of a third story window?  Had some very, very dangerous people come around your house and tell you that if you don't keep your mouth shut when the police come by to ask questions, they are going to kill you and your whole family?  No?  Then why the hell should I try to empathize with you and your plight, you can't empathize with mine.  We can't even fix SIMPLE problems, so why the hell should I believe that we can fix problems that effect everyone?

I kind of hope to see some ideas that could actually work, Bay 12 has a lot of very intelligent people in its community, and even I still have some hope.  Also, you edited that in after or while I made my post.

To expound how "White",  "first world", and "entitled" your problems are?

Did I hit enough guilt buttons?

Justifying one's own negative behaviour by pointing to flaws of others isn't a viewpoint I very much subscribe to.

Well no, Null Force is doing the equivilant of you saying "I can't eat anymore of this pasta" and him saying "Do you know how many starving children there are who would kill for what is infront of you?"

Sort of

Well, I certainly agree that things sound like they've been pretty rough for you, and I'm sorry for that. No one should have to go through those things. That said, it hardly seems like an excuse to not care about other people. We've all had our rough spots. For example, back in middle school, I used to fantasize about going from class to class and stabbing my teachers to death with a pencil through the ear. Pretty terrible, but I had my reasons, of course. The point being, everyone getting all wrapped up in their own problems is a recipe for misery all round.

As for actually addressing the worlds problems, I actually have some ideas I've posted here before, but I'll go ahead and give a concise version, gimme a sec.

*shrugs*

"Clean that log from your eye before you tell me to remove the splinter from mine"

it is a different environment Angle. Caring will get you killed. It is a defense mechanism.

The best response is to aknowledge what Null had to say and move on.

I actually don't have much else to contribute after that. I was reading the threat...

Maybe I should watch the videos for inaccuracies and manipulative speech.

"I feel other people do not show enough compassion for my problems, therefore I am allowed to also lack empathy for other (people's) problems." Is what I was getting at.

Not exactly, I'm pointing out that going off in lala land doesn't get anyone closer to actually enacting something.  Ideas that can actually be accomplished is something I could support, but all this rehashed food garbage is unworkable.  Talk to me about low-cost easy to implement on an individual level things that can be helpful, don't waste my time with huge meaningless pie-in-the-sky dreaming.

My empathy is dead, life killed it.

Lucky for ALL of you...

the VAST majority of ocean life is unaffected by that plastic build up.

It is kind of... really not as bad as you guys were making it out to be.

Become vegetarian. Good impact, easy to do with a little bit of will, probably healthier as well compared to regular western diet (not sure if that applies in your case).
