Some people are happy when things like this happen because they see it as a way of reducing an ever growing population. A cleric, Thomas Robert Malthus even laid down principles that will reduce the population, the principles involve killings, abortions, encouraging famine, massacres and many other evil vices. Unfortunately, people like the ones above are still following such principles. |
