Hey! Stop arguing and being all nasty. This thread was much better when it was all silly.

I drove thru New Gunterston once. Got a ticket for speeding and the police roughed me up pretty good.

It’s a Godless place, New Gunterston.

It’s not something you could look up in the CIA Fact Book and the Scientific Method doesn’t strictly apply to philosophy, but I wouldn’t say “no evidence at all”. Everybody has reasons that are good to them for believing what they believe, whether it’s in Jesus, New Gunterston, alien visitation, or Cecil Adams.

That’s not my recollection. The beer was hot and the chicks were cheap.

“The beer was hot and the chicks were cheap.”

Mmmm…how the feminists must love THAT!

Male dominance.

Let us be kool as they have been.

No commitment.  
Just the kool ‘thrust’ of hooking up.

Woo hoo…(as ‘Homer’ would say)

SOUL FROST, “…the chicks were cheap…”

DOES that mean it didn’t take much to get your penis satisfied?

LOVE how you think of females as “chicks” …

Yeah, right…and this is SO MUCH BETTER for females…than religious strictions…

IDIOT!!

No, silly!

It means that when I dug up your mama and fucked her stinking corpse, she zombie-groaned to me, “Braaaaaiiiinnnnsss!” But after that, she told me that she’s so very sorry that she’s burning in hell right now for inflicting your miserable ass on the world.

You’re stupid, so this won’t matter to you, but I’d like to point out that circa 400 BCE, there were millions of people in Greece and Italy who sincerely believed in Zeus (or the Roman equivalent, Jupiter).

Were they all wrong to not believe in the monotheistic God? Prove it.

Fucking +1. The OP is sick and his continued seriousness with desiring a massacre of 5 billion+ people should get him the boot.

This is hate speech, plain and simple.

I agree and, for that, I blame many of the participants in this thread. The appropriate reaction to the OP is disgust. Why are we laughing at a proposal for the murder of billions of people?

You really think the OP is serious ? This thread is simply trolling to upset the religious minority on this board.

I wonder what history would have been if Hitler had the Internet?

He posts an idea in GD, “Hey, why don’t we kill all the Jews?”. 1/3 of the responders get all indignant and trash the guy for the mere suggestion, another third would explain why it’s simply not practical, and the final third would suggest ways to do it best, or most amusingly.

Jeez, lighten up, people!

No I don’t think he’s serious (or else he would started his one man extermination squad already), but posting this kind of drivel as if he is serious and keeping up the charade through multiple pages crosses the “Don’t be a jerk” line in my book.

I dunno about that. Black people are kind of tough, even the religious ones.

Hey, here’s an idea! Why don’t we start with the Jews?

Everybody has reasons that are good to them for believing what they believe, whether it’s in Jesus, New Gunterston, alien visitation, or Cecil Adams.

But some reasons are better than others. Believing in evolution is reasonable because it has a mountain of evidence behind it. New Gunterston, while a veritable Shangri-La of loose women and advanced treatments for venereal diseases, would be nice if it existed, but doesn’t really have much aside from second hand accounts.
