While I support the goal, this is sloppy thinking he's using here. The problem with such a plan is there's no controls, no way to ensure that the right billion people die. That's just messy villainy on his part right there. I can see why Clarice finds him so frustrating. |

Welcome TPRJones. "Messy Villainy" - Sounds like a wrestler name. TPRJones - Time Pressure Reverb Jones? I thought I escaped from you and left you in an alternate time stream. How did you follow me here? |

What makes it worse is that there is no RIGHT billion to kill. In fact, it's just a *bad idea all around*. I mentioned this on Facebook, but even if we weren't going into the mess of cleaning up a billion corpses, depopulation is a bad idea unless one is willing to go the distance. I'm talking, oh... 95-98% of the population here. Given the AGAHF timeline, the world population is estimated to be juuuust shy of 7 billion. About 2010, right? So, kill 1 billion, that's a nice round number. Population would be roughly 6 billion, how long ago was that... About 1999 CE. 11 years ago. Oh, well... fuck. That's right kids, if things go as they were, the can has been kicked down the road all of one fucking decade. Okay, okay, we can go bigger if we have to, you killed 1 billion, what's another? 5 Billion: 1987 4 Billion: 1974 3 Billion: 1959 2 Billion: 1927 1 Billion: 1803 Getting the idea here? A billion is a bighuge number to impress the masses, but when that's maybe 13% of the population that tends to grow exponentially, a billion is basically piss in the wind. Now let's be fair, the global birth rate (as a percentage) has been on the decline. But again, see: 7 billion. So, it's not big enough to make a dent in global population figures... but still big enough to be a complete goddamn catastrophe. There's taking care of a billion-plus dead bodies, plus people taking care of the sick (if something is bad enough to kill a billion people it's bad enough to put you fucking down), plus people taking care of the inevitable panics and riots. ALl of which is now devoted away from things that could actually solve problems and develop society. Ultimately, it would kill a billion people, might dent the birth rate for a little while (or not, my guess is on "not") and make a lot of people very, very miserable. Oh, and the moment Bergman is discovered to be involved in this the new global pastime will become "How many ways can we torture this fucker without killing him". And THEN he gets to deal with a bunch of pissed off ghosts. Hell, it'd be worse if he WASN'T discovered, but the ghosts found out. At least beforehand he'd have all that juicy fame to keep him safe. So I'm going with what I said on Facebook: run, Clarice. Run SCREAMING, run FAST, and napalm the building after you leave. Bergman will singularly fuck up your plans. You had a shitty plan anyways, but that man will make them fail. He is not just dangerous, he is STUPID and dangerous. Edited by StarStorm, Jan 18 2016, 05:39 AM.

There are very few fictional characters who enrage me so much that I want to be able to pop into their world and personally give them a savage beating. Congratulations, idiot horndog politician whose name I can't remember at the moment. You just made the List. |

When Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix came out, my next-door neighbor (who was in his late sixties at the time) came storming into my house swearing at the top of his voice about Delores Umbrage, and how he was going to stop reading the series if she wasn't demolished. So... yeah. I detest Clarice but have to admire her in a way - but THIS guy.... He has no socially-redeeming virtues whatever. |
