He's being sarcastic. I'm not. I really do think that preventing Africans from continuing to breed like rabbits, even after the AIDS virus was unleashed, would be the best thing for the world.No. I wasn't being sarcastic. Next time, don't assume stuff. As for your view that the world would be better off with less Africans... well... that borders on racism and bigotry.
To the people that think my views are bad because people would die: How many people will survive if global warming strips us of our atmosphere? Answer: 0. Think about it. Desperate times call for desperate measures.
Ends don't justify the means.

Cricket, war, abortion and the death penalty are all necessary -
in your opinion.
Just remember that opinions =/= Facts.

Then you think war is never justified? You never agree with abortion? The death penalty? These are all necessary things.
Don't say 'The ends don't justify the means', as if you are above reality. Take an objective look at the situation. What is the logical thing to do?
And I would counter that by saying: Don't say "the ends do justify the means," as if you are above reality.
Yes, I believe war is never justified: self-defense is, not war.
Yes, I believe abortion is
never
justified.
Yes, I believe the death penalty is never justified.
I think it's sad that you think that killing human beings is necessary.
Edit:

Thank you. I take racist to mean not ignorant of differences in races, so to me it is a compliment.

African population from breeding like rabbits
not ignorant of differences in races
There are people who are so far into left-field that they don't even realize it. If you can't tell the difference between rabbits and humans, there's not much we can do for you.
It's a good thing I've already lost all faith in humanity.

If you can't tell the difference between rabbits and humans,
Yup. I can't tell the difference between rabbits and humans. That's why clearly I said that Africans were rabbits, and not used a simile to compare Africans to rabbits. Good job lil jimmy.

The analogy only works if baby rabbits are equal in value with African babies. So, yes you did compare them.

Yes, I compared them. I didn't say rabbits were Africans, which you tried to claim I did.

Do you miss the point intentionally, for humor.... or are you really not getting it?
Saying 'Africans breed like rabbits' is a thing that someone not enlightened to races would say. Then to go on and claim you are conscious of race issues is laughable. The fact that you used rabbits in your analogy is beside the point.
Africa's growth rate is twice (or more) the population growth rate of the rest of the world, even considering the high rate of malnutrition, infant mortality, and HIV/AIDS deaths. So yes, they are breeding like rabbits, and the only thing keeping them in check is that a lot of them die. If HIV was able to be cured the world would be @#$%ed.

I know that you didn't say they "were" rabbits...if you had, I would have mentioned something about your lack of biological knowledge.
And you want to know something really funny? I'll quote from the very link you gave me:
The most commonplace similes offer a window into the stereotypes that pervade a given language and culture.
...
Animal stereotypes provide a rich vein of similes in English, as does a persistent body of ethnic stereotypes.
I don't know whether to laugh or to cry.

Oh, I get that that people's feelings might be hurt by it. But I'm sticking to my statement because the way I see it, there's some sense to comparing the growth of Africans, who couldn't sustain their population if allowed to keep growing, to rabbits, who have the same problem of growing without a concern of whether or not there's enough resources for them.
And I don't hate Africans because of it, they don't have malicious intent with their dangerous reproduction rates (much like their animal counterparts), they just don't know better.
