I've noticed that everyone who is for depopulation only wants everyone else to die. They never lead by example.

Absolutely. The ones pushing this nonsense are also the ones that are "more equal" than us and need to stay around. Isn't their selfless sacrifice touching?

They're HELPING us, by killing us.

Next, they're planning to HELP us by taking our food and money.

Yep, spot on. Very much like a US senator arguing for wind farms in the bald eagle habitat - "To save the eagle, we must kill the eagle". Unreal.

It's the more affluent who are having the higher death rates and lower birth rates...

How does this disprove my point? Many of those pestering us that the end is near are not wealthy - they are unemployed idiots who think that they have found a purpose in life. As far as the wealthy goes, yep, many of them have no idea about what is going on and live in their own reality. They have been dumber than a lot of the average income hoi polloi to get jabbed over and over and now they keel over. Not exactly shocking in my opinion. Also, quite valid that the ones with money are vacuous and stupid enough NOT to have kids. Many live incredibly empty and depressing lives despite the money. I know because some of my relatives by marriage are very wealthy and their lives revolve around going to coffee shops and watching other people go about their lives. It is as if their wealth took their brain away assuming that they had some to start with. Talk about a massive waste.

I'm for depopulation Don, but the natural method when more affluent people decide to not have kids.. when the kids are so damn dysfunctional that they can't mate... That's the non violent way it should happen... others say nuclear war is the way... they're psychos tho.

Malthus has been used by the ruling classes to justify their thefts of the commons for generations. But just on its own, Malthusianism is just wrong, not just morally wrong but factually wrong. The Science of Scarcity of Thatcher and Reagan will give way to a new way of thinking more like that of FDR and JFK.

Ah, but I have already said that I am happy to go if depopulation is on the agenda. BUT I'm not going without a fight, and without a good cause. Currently I feel I can do more living than dead.

Illogical, but more power to you. Perhaps everyone who is alive feels they can do more living than dead.

Well I've come in contact with some spirits and ghosts in my time (and trust me, I never thought I would! But sometimes life doesn't turn out like you thought it might...). They are not always nice, but ultimately, they have very little control over things. Having a body is a very useful thing indeed! And when connected to a decent brain, there's an awful lot it can do! Perhaps not enough people are aware of this, so they don't put either their brain or body to good use.

I'd just like to use my time here for good rather than evil. And when my time is up, my time is up. So I try to do things that I find are useful.

For the record, though, I am almost never illogical. I might not always explain myself as well as some would like (my brain works very fast!) but logic and practicality tend to be my calling cards ;-)

That's good to know. I too have sworn to use my powers for good. It's impossible to get a handle on someone through brief Internet comments that have little context. I wasn't judging, more like teasing out your position.
