i'm just watching a band called S Club 8 (a group of 8 whinging little kids, if anyone doesn't know) and a thought popped into my mind...

i think the world should employ a 'democratic culling' policy.

of course, the finer details are still to be worked out, but the basic framework is this:

any citizen may propose a target to be culled
this citizen in question will be put to a public vote
every citizen has the write to vote to cull said citizen, to let the citizen go free, or to abstain from voting

what does everyone think then?

:)

Selectively reducing the population of a species by killing of some of the members.

It&#39;s odd that you&#39;d get that notion during just that show.

It must be your digital muse or somesuch.

For some reason re-runs of "Temptation Island" provokes the same response in me, the notion just pops into my head really, I dunno how.

You are on Temptation Island and an ocean just pops into your head. You want to get up a tree when the tide comes in. :lol:

I thought I would just bump this up Noob with a true story from this morning. While my wife was paying at the checkout of a shop, she said to the young boy at the till. "that&#39;s unusual, playing an exercise CD in the shop" The wee boy said that is not an exercise CD, that is one of the latest remixes. You probably know the one I am referring to. :lol:
