Make no mistake about it, the Voluntary Human Extinction Movement isn't anti-child, it's more like anti-human.
The VHE is dedicated to phasing out the human race in the interest of the health of the Earth, founder Les Knight told Wednesday's San Francisco Chronicle.
With 16,000 people born per hour and a current global population of 6.5 billion, there are already more than enough people on the planet, Knight said.
A 1994 study concluded a single person born in the 1990s would be responsible during a lifetime for 22 million pounds of liquid waste and 2.2 million pounds each of solid waste and atmospheric waste, the newspaper said. He or she will have a lifetime consumption of 4,000 barrels of oil, 1.5 million pounds of minerals and 62,000 pounds of animal products that will necessitate the slaughter of 2,000 animals.

Mr. Knight should lead by example.
My thoughts exactly.
Surely, if their intentions are honorable, and if they are serious in their commitment, they will dispatch themselves immediately upon announcing their membership.
Anything I can do to help?
All my life I have admired this observation: Suicide is the sincerest form of self-criticism...
Life on this planet will come to an end. The sun will expand and cook this planet eventually.(If you look at how long life has been on this planet and how we got left we are more than halfway there.)Life on Earth will have long since moved elsewhere thanks to the efforts of those evil humans.

Why are they still living and breathing and injuring their precious Gaia?

Why should we care about the Earth's health? For over a hundred thousand years it's been trying to kill us with hurricanes, eathquakes, tornados, tsumamis, volcanos, etc. I say it's time we fought back.
Aren't these the same guys who complain about the war, the death penalty, and the a-bomb? Seems like they've got an inconsistent message.
A-bombs? Are you kidding? I'll bet they were for the handgun ban.
Still, it makes you wonder if they have a secret WMD program of their own. I mean it's not like people are going to go peacefully, now is it? Sometimes, for the greater good, sacrifices must be made. I'm sure they'd like us to live as trendy, liberal and blissfully unaware lives as possible until they're ready for the great purge.
He or she will have a lifetime consumption of 4,000 barrels of oil, 1.5 million pounds of minerals and 62,000 pounds of animal products that will necessitate the slaughter of 2,000 animals.
But without us here, what good is any of that?
Candidates for the Darwin Award??
Yeah, as long as we have oil, let's use it. I enjoy living here, hunting animals and eating them, fishing, camping, burning wood in my fireplace listening to the little logs scream in agony while they provide a pleasant "ambiance" (libs love that). Then my wife and I get in my pickup truck and cruise down a country road or two enjoying the area burning fuel that we paid for at the going price of the free market, sometimes pricey but the drive is still enjoyable regardless.
Okay Les, you first.
The winning entry 8-)
Live fast, die young, leave a pretty corpse, I guess...
