During a question-and-answer sessions, the audience laughed approvingly when Pianka offered the bird flu as another vehicle toward achieving his goal. They also chuckled when he suggested it was time to sterilize everyone on Earth.

These people are just unbelievably twisted.

[Ptarmigan]

Scum like him need to wiped out.

[gondramB]

I want to hear a different first hand account. I wondering if this talk wasnt a rehash of the theory that the earth may be exceeding its carrying capacity for population with disastrous consequences becoming more probable.

[Servant of the 9]

That probably goes too far, but a planet with only 1 billion people, like it was in 1900 would be a lot more comfortable.

These people are just unbelievably twisted.

Yes. But here is the thing that matters:
TENURED.

And honored with an plum academic spot.

Eric R. Pianka, Denton A. Cooley Centennial Professor of Zoology

Insane lizard expert from Texas ping.

Somewhere in hell, Stalin is probably saying "hmmmm, he would have been great in my Politburo."

I wondering if this talk wasnt a rehash of the theory that the earth may
be exceeding its carrying capacity for population with disastrous consequences
becoming more probable.

It would be interesting to know how many children the good professor
has sired.
Just to see if he's part of the solution or part of the problem.

[saganite]

I nominate you to offer yourself.

---Pianka then displayed a slide showing rows of human skulls, one of which had red lights flashing from its eye sockets. ---

Are we certain Mims was not watching Mars Attack or something?

[Coyoteman]

Following the question-and-answer session, Mims says "almost every scientist, professor and college student present stood to their feet and vigorously applauded the man who had enthusiastically endorsed the elimination of 90 percent of the human population. Some even cheered.

They all think THEY are to be spared while some other poor slob gets the ax.

Can you say eugenics, boys and girls?

ps. Many scientists (myself included) think this is a stupid idea.

[Mr. Mojo]

standing ovation

I suspect if Pianka suggested that the extermination efforts begin with those in attendance the reception would've been quite different.

[divine_moment_of_facts]

"Ebola Happens" Lets hope it happens to him!

[M203M4]

This fossil hasn't managed to maneuver his undoubtedly shriveling brain around the concept that his heroes - Thomas Malthus and Paul Ehrlich - have been proven wrong entirely (Paul still can't get over Julian winning that bet!). Hopefully he is put out to pasture where he can drool away his remaining years.

[plain talk]

Well if he means what he says he should wipe out himself and his family. Put up or shut up.

[stevem]

Only curious here...why 10%?

[xrp]

Why don't they practice what they preach and commit suicide?

[gondramB]

"It would be interesting to know how many children the good professor

Yep, there is a lot missing here.
We don't have a transcript. We don't have the professor's name. We don't have the paper he was presenting and we only have one second hand account.

[headsonpikes]

Pol Pot Humanitarian Award shoo-in, I'm predicting!

[wallcrawlr]

"We're no better than bacteria," Mims quoted Pianka as saying in his condemnation of the human race, which, he claimed, is overpopulating the Earth.

Its unfortunate that people are valued so little when there is a God that loves them so much.
