Why are so many people objecting to A Modest Proposal?
I do disagree with your menu, though. The American justice system is far too broken to be a "morally acceptable" food source.00 Reply

The problem would be that people might be raised like cattle. Just for eating. Then it doesn't solve the over population...

Its a solution for world problems. And i am aiming for people with no future like criminals having life sentences. Killing mee would be a murder. Killing someone who has no future is just a speed boost

Cannibalism itself is a crime. And you can't put someone before someone else. No one deserves this kind of death.
So if you agree to cannibalism being allowed u should also accept being eaten - +1 y
Besides you don't decide who has a future and who doesn't.

People i want to kill have no future. They gonna spend their whole life behind bars. Criminal and normal citizen is a different thing thats why criminals are behind bars or is that also discrimination and we should allow killers to walk free?
- +1 y
Exactly, they're behind bars depending on their crime. If their crimes are not heavy crimes they don't deserve death as a penalty. And not this kind of death anyway
- +1 y
Im not talkimg about small thieves lol. People im suggesting to kill have no future as i said so it means behind bars all their life...
- +1 y
U don't get to decide who should die or how they should die. Even big criminals can serve and be employed while in prison. So they can be useful for sth.

No i dont but im just wondering about the solution.

Plus they would be useful only for themselfs not society

Killing is never a solution. If u wanna find the right solution then approach the problem in the right way..
The world resources are sufficient and can fulfill the population's needs, it's just those few countries that have put their hand on these resources and are controlling them since they have that power. If there was world peace this problem wouldn't have existed in the first place, but what's causing it is greediness and desire to control.
So killing a bunch of criminals won't change or fix the main problem. People are being killed daily anyway, that doesn't change ath - +1 y
You didn't get my point. Problem is that killing is prohibited thats why people kill. Imagine if goverment were allowed to kill people with high crime coefficiency for example murderers. People would stop killing because everyone would affraid to die. Killing people who endanger others is not a bad thing what so ever, we call them people but in all actuality they are no more than wild beasts. Killing a person who is dangerous not only would help country economicly but also could be used as a food for starving countries. And no there is a lot of starving people not just a couple of countries. I understand that everyone has a right to live but why do we keep people living who enjoy killing others? Is that a moral thing to do? I think not. I also take a look from economical perspective. Yes he looks like a human but he's not. Sorry
- +1 y
I completely get your point.
But even if it's "moral" to kill such a criminal it's never moral to feed him to people from starving countries. You can never offer a solution that would not satisfy you if u put yourself in their shoes. If you're ok with eating human flesh then ok. But that's just you. Most people are not ok with it and don't find it humane or moral.
And again I'm gonna repeat what I said earlier, there are enough resources and food for everyone, the only problem is that they're deliberately not employed to fulfill all countries needs.
Criminals do less harm than governments. If u wanna find the right solution, there s your solution, you should aim to replace governments - +1 y
Human flesh has almost identical taste as chiken. And. No i haven eaten a human flesh. But wasting dead bodies is non-economical. We do have enough resources now but im thinking about fututre generations. This what i suggested is just a thought its not that its gonna be acomplished next year or something. Well made chiken and human steak you wouldn't tell a difference. I know it might sound wrong eating a human but maybe in the future we will have no other choise. Thank you, i really enjoyed discussing this sith you :)
- +1 y
The only reason I don't find it economical is due to the large space u need for cemeteries. I think this is the only problem here, and yet I would never suggest cannibalism as a solution to this problem.
Because u already see the world is getting more and more immoral and this kind of solutions just kill humanity. Which means they are terrible solutions.
And yeah it was nice discussing it.

Yes but do you know how much is spent to hold prisoners in a cell for 10,20,30 years? Guards have to get salary, heating, lights, electonics, etc. And im thinking about returning punishment by death. People who have a chance to change won't be killed ofc

Canibalism would stop starvation. Lots of prople are starving. Wiping half of the population is irrational. We need to carefuly separate those who should be used as a food source and those who shohldnt
You think eating each other is a solution to the problem that some people simply eat too much?
