Would you kill children to become smarter?

[Seperates]

Nope. I'll die eventually and somebody has to take over for me.

[Hetalian Indie Rio de Janeiro]

Abortions would only count in countries which legally consider the aborted human to be a child.

Wait a second. Wouldn't this give pro-life regions a huge advantage?

With 5 million illegal back-alley abortion procedures between 1985 and 2005, and many more victims of the purposeful use of weird pills like Cytotec and even [often deadly] toxic plants like the common European rue, world-leaders in illegal abortion, with the most common cause for internment and surgery in the public healthcare service being its afterward complications...

I recommend you all for one bend over to your new Brazilian overlords.

This thread made me lose my faith in humanity. There is no morally sound reason to answer yes to this question.

I think Crownariam was just asking this as a joke. A sick, twisted joke.

[Risottia]

Oooh, you're so edgy that my jeans just became skinnier by merely reading this post. Now, wouldn't you kill for waffles? I bet you fucking love waffles.

Reading this, I'm tempted to make a thread on how old contempt for edginess is getting, along with it being more or less a workaround for discrediting someone's actual arguments.

Is there anything in IM's post but "I'm a prick who doesn't give a fuck about people and cares only for personal gain"? Only reworked in a sort of edgy intellectual masturbation, because it's clear he's also scared of getting caught.

There's no need to discredit that more than he did himself already, if you can actually read and understand a text.

Which for some reason, people have to think about before answering... Is this what we've become?

[The New United States]

No... That's disgusting.

I think some people on here think it is a serious question. I don't think it is. At least I hope Crownariam wasn't being serious about this.
I agree, this is sad.

Getting caught masturbating or killing?
And no, there isn't any substance to his OP apart from that. But then you should attack the ridiculous power fantasy that inspired this. When some stand out in a crowd of opinions though, it isn't always for the sake of being different. I am FAR from defending this topic, because it is a bit... obvious it was made to get attention. But solely claiming it is '2edgy' lends little to the conversation, and can be incendiary to people who were serious about their opinions. Thusly... edginess contempt has my own contempt.

[Magna Libero]

Of course not. Nothing justifies murder.

Besides, a smart person wouldn't kill, only insane people or insane and smart people kill.

[European Socialist Republic]

Depends. Would the child become Hitler II somewhere in the future?
If so, then yes.
If not, then nope.

[Freemopia]

Make it a poll.
No.

[Esternial]

They take care of a fetus so its not considered a child. A child is a being between birth and puberty.

No differentiation was made in the OP, and fetuses are children to some people, so their belief fuels my intelligence-boosting powers.

[Soled]

-_- no

[Saiwania]

If I don't manage to have biological children, I'd like to adopt one. Maybe I'll do both if I'm rich enough. I want to be a good father despite whatever flaws I might have. I want the experience of paternal bonding and family interactions.

[Kadolha]

Hell No! No! Fucking fuck NO!

Ceiling cat is watching you anyway.

Some arguments deserve a proper dismantling. Some deserve only shaming.

But solely claiming it is '2edgy' lends little to the conversation, and can be incendiary to people who were serious about their opinions. Thusly... edginess contempt has my own contempt.

Considering how I try and be a gentleman, I can't picture how to show you properly how much I fail at being affected by this contempt. Maybe someone else can.

[Pannonitaca]

No. I would not kill children for any reason. He who considers this must go to a psychiatrist.

[Frihetskommunen]

Why even dwell on this thought? It's not like you would ever actually gain intelligence from killing a child, so why even contemplate it? I understand that questioning yourself and putting yourself in hypothetical situations can be a good thing, but this is just impossible on every level. There is 0% chance of this happening. If you seriously need to question yourself about killing children (which if you do, seek help or talk to someone), then atleast ask yourself a question that has even a small chance (or risk?) of happening. Like, would you kill a child for a million dollars? That scenario is still very much unlikely to happen, but it's at the very least not impossible.

[The Black Dragon Empire]

I'd become an abortion doctor.

[Xsyne]

Well, if their current IQ is added to mine then killing a single kid of average intelligence will somehow increase the population by a number greater than the number of cells in every human alive today because IQ is a goddamned normal distribution I'm going to go with "no".

[Lemanrussland]

No.

How is there not? What rubric are you using? Or are you merely using the childish style of blanket prohibitions that no sane person should endorse?

[New Carloso]

Didn't some Chinese man kill children and eat their brains to cure his epilepsy?

[Torrumbarry]

WTF... NO!

How stoned will the author of this thread have been when he dreamt up this notion?
