Genocide is very, very bad
Excerpt:
After all this evidence, its obvious that genocide is a natural
symptom of our violent nature, spurred on by hate, ignorance, greed, and
the Guinness book of world records. The only way we can stop this cycle
of killing in the future is to educate our children on the dangers of
genocide, and offer them sound advice on what to do about the peer
pressure. I've even come up with a slogan that can be printed on
t-shirts, hats, and bumper stickers. The phrase is "Don't be snide, just
say NO to genocide". Sure it's a little rough, but I'll work the kinks
out in time. As far as what kids should do in a situation where they are
asked by peers to participate in genocide, here is a scenario that is
the blueprint to the correct way to refuse the offer.
\nBilly: Hey Bobby, we are all going down by the creek to catch horny\ntoads and also probably drown a few million Bolivians. Want to come?\nBobby: No thanks Billy, I have some homework to do.\nBilly: Everybody is going to be there. We can work on the mass graves\ntogether.\nBobby: Thanks for the offer Billy, but I really can't. See you at school\ntomorrow!\nBilly: Oh we'll see you alright. (Writes Bobby's name in a small book).\n
Once Bobby overcame the peer pressure to join in with the other children
in an act of genocide, the cycle was broken, at least for Bobby. But for
every Bobby we still have thousands of Billys. There is still a lot of
learning and sharing to do still. I thought that the best way to
communicate with the young generation would be a comic. Kids are dumb
and love comics.
