We obviously won't have to mention the sacrifices that are made voluntarily, but what about the compulsory ones? We've covered 'not killing' and 'not stealing', but these thing doesn't take very much...

No you're not. "Getting rid of xxx billion people because I want more space" isn't a serious argument. And the Iceland question was thoroughly sincere on my part, since I wanted a discussion about an...
