    Met my neighbor because his dog keeps pooping in our dog area and he refuses to clean it up. It was not a great meeting, he is a terrible person.

    We recommend a plague with no foreign assistance in a country with a very large population and a lower socioeconomic average. This may seem immoral and at the end of the day it is survival of the fittest for the betterment of the future of mankind as a whole. This huge cutback would give us the time we need to make necessary changes in our lifestyles and making all of these changes in one generation is nearly impossible. Sorry if this is messed up but I feel it is inevitable anyways with population explosions.
