Flowers.

What a goddamn waste of a crop. There are people starving in the world yet here we have growers and lands being used for this completely useless plant. I hope none of you buy these things, I ask you all to boycott flowers so that our farmers can focus on feeding the world. Same for any decorative and nutritionally void plant.

If you want to really make a practical and thoughtful gesture to your partner, buy them a fruit tree.

Only if you're a dainty faggot. All flowers should be outlawed and replaced by nutritionally dense cabbage and potato.

>implying I'm going to lower my chance of getting laid just so some chimp-ass African warlord can intercept my food and use it to feed his armies while the flybabies continue to starve just like they have for the past million years.

Yeah, get fucked. The world doesn't work the way you think it does. You may as well learn here and now.

what about rape?

>> No.5074109

>>5074105
rapists should have their genitalia mutilated to the degree that sex is no longer physically possible. Under anesthesia, of course. I'm not a heartless barbarian. And let them go, no prison. It would actually be cheaper in the end, and no chance of recurring rape. Works in everyone's favor.

Not at all. Our only goal and hope is scientific progress, exploration of space, and unified global governance. The more people you feed and educate, the more rapid the progress.

Capital driven growth and harvest of crops unfit for consumption should be outlawed. It is detrimental to our progress as a species and serves no practical purpose.

Look, just because people post factual, relevant information that you aren't capable of joining in on the conversation with, that does not make it "shitposting".

Your post is true shitposting. Consider that.

Or how about everyone shuts their fucking legs and stops breeding so much. There are too many fuckers on this planet already... Food wouldn't be a problem with a sustainable population level.

Also, my wife owns a wedding flower business, so no!

I believe a civilized society tolerates neither rape nor the mutilation of criminals, but perhaps I'm in the minority.

Maybe I actually believe this but know that my beliefs are so unconventional that I'm trying to make a sound argument under the guise of an edgy troll to make you aware enough of my truth to read and respond.

Or maybe I'm completely serious. Or maybe I'm a complete troll.

I think an effort should be put so that there are fewer people who can't feed themselves in the world.

It's as if there was a worldwide epidemic and all efforts were applied to manufacturing analgesics or something.
