no your not ... in an ideal world about 5.2 - 5.5 billion people (evenly distributed all over the world) would just keel over and die. that would solve so many of the fucking dumb ass problems we have, in an ideal world ther also wouldn't be such a thing as money either but thats another argument.
News flash: THERE IS NO IDEAL WORLD AND THERE NEVER WILL BE.
We'll never have a world completely run a way everyone (or even just a majority) will like.
i know, but it's always nice to fantasise

As for your idea, that sounds nice and all, but how will it fix problems? And how do we determine who dies?
well it sure as hell woun't be a human making the choices of who dies. All people are far too biased and stupid to be given that power. It would just have to be totaly random selection, of people just falling over and dying.
how would it fix problems? well it probalby won't fix many of the social problems we have, but it will sure as hell fix a lot of enviromental ones for a while. We won't have to worry so much about totaly raping the planet for a while. theres also the huge over population problem in 3rd world countries, that would be fixed for a while.

And as for money, it's not perfect, but it's the best economic system we have for today's modern world. Show me a culture that doesn't have money. There isn't one.
well, no i hate money, i (or anyone) can't think up a better system because were so used to having it aorund that it's hart to see a futrue with out it. But the whole notion of people killing each other over a little slip of paper is quite stupid ... or at least it fails to make sense in my eyes.
what dose money represent any ways, when i hold a $20 bill in my hand what is it supposed to be symbolic of? i know that paper money was introduced so people wouldn't have to carry around large sums of precious metals, even those are quite worthless if you think of it.
ok i'm going even further off topic ... i just don't see very much sense behind it, well, i understand it, but it's use is just stupid to me. ack, i hate economics ...
