Just need help with a few of the details.

Firstly, does anyone have a good idea on how to get rid of six or seven billion people?

Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

Contact Mr Osama Bin Laden, c/o Pakistan.

If it's returned "Not known at this address", try again - he's just the shy, retiring sort...

Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Some kind of Zombie disease should do it, or more likely a lethal, incurable and rapidly spreading flu.

I think the human lifespan is a bit more than that.

That's true, but I wasn't referring to the general lifespan; that would not create a better place in the way suggested here.

The world would be a better place if we got rid of ...

... all the impurities in the minds of all six/seven billion of us.

Maybe, impurities was a wrong word. I can always take excuse that English is not my natural language Smile | :)

I meant, a world bereft of despair, and sorrow; where everyone is happy, almost like a family. Then all the 6/7 billions will be happily co-existing.

I know, sounds like Utopia.

They would not know they were happy, it would not even be anything special anymore. You cannot have positive without negative.

Peacefull co-existence is self-defying; you'll find that there is something called "evolution" that has simply programmed us otherwise.

Aiming for something that cannot be achieved always ends up in a failure.

I don't think it is; politicians seem to exist to identify these things and to protect me from them. Because politicians know what good is for me, something that I cannot possibly know Roll eyes | :rolleyes:

A world of 7-8 billion dull-as-dishwater people?! That would probably be enough to get 4-5 billion to commit suicide, for a start!

The diseases caused by all those rotting bodies would probably do in the rest.

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Sure, it's even totally free. It's called time. Poke tongue | ;-P

If you don't care for waiting:
1. become an evil mastermind. Remember, looks need to match brains... How far are you willing to go Big Grin | :-D

2. Find a secret high-tech underground lair.
3. Experiment with lasers
4. Test laser experiments with sharks with freakin' laser beams attached to their heads
5. Expand testing of freakin' laserbeams to satellite status. Ask huge amounts of ransom for not destroying major cities.
6. Use funding of ransom of #5 to build a Death Star
7. Repeat #5 and #6 in case Death Star Mark I was destroyed by rebels to build Death Star Mark II
8. Make sure the rebels are fended of.
9. Bonus: get your apprentice's son to the dark side. (and eat cookies)
10. Fire away! Cool | :cool:
