TheGoodBits Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Who says? You say, but that doesn't make it so. I believe we need to be looking for a new place to stay instead of doing donkey ass stupid things like telling people to not have kids. If you don't want them so be it. Why does everyone like to think they know whats best for everyone else? People need to stop trying to tell everyone what they thinks best and mind there own business. Sure, but the fact remains that long distance space travel is at best a stretch at this point. Hell we haven't made it further than out freaking moon. So how does trying to preserve our planet for as long as possible not make sense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
addicted Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 How old are you, 12? Seeing how you've got time to insult people why don't you add something to this converstation instead of things like this? Sorry you don't like my opinion but I don't insult you for having your own. But I guess your most likely one of the people who loves to think you've got it all figured out and have the responsibility to tell everyone else what you think, how to act, what to do? I'm outta here. I seriously can't argue with complete strangers. Not everyone shares the same opinions, you need to deal with that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not everyone shares the same opinions, you need to deal with that I posted my opinions earlier in the thread, if you had bothered to read. Is it fun for you to live in a box...to hell with everyone else as long as it makes you happy? Do the rest of the citizens of Keller, Texas share your viewpoints? Does living near Dallas make you angry at the rest of the country? And if you're outta here, why are you still in the thread, waiting for people to respond to you? Because you want the attention? Are you "addicted" to it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thiebear Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Where looking at this from the wrong end: have as many children as you wish. AND institute a nobody over 70 rule. you don't have to worry about Social Security, Medicade, medicare, Alzheimers, Retirement homes.. Populations don't have to be a certain limit to maintain at that point. Problem solved. I got 30 years left.. so sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

addicted Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 perhaps you should take some of your own advice. In the thread here people seemed to be agreeing with the authors point. Its typical for me to come here and see threads like this one and the smoking taxation one and see 30 people agreeing with a point that I personally don't subscribe with. Every once in a while I like to throw out my own opinion which doesn't seem to be the common ground. When I do I get insulted. Since I don't insult other people and don't wish to argue I say my piece and move on. I do accept that everyone has an opinion but guys like Phoward12 can't have a civil talk about an issue without trying to get personal. Since I can't see this guy in person I don't want to argue with him because really whats the point in getting mad at a perfect stranger? I will get mad at someone's opinion as I do have very strong feelings regarding certain issues but I never make it personal. Others here are too desperate to feel good about themselves and far to into feeling superior to not take things on a personal level for my tastes. I handle things on a different level in my world, I'm not a computer posting tough guy. The only reason I post my thoughts when I disagree with people is because stupidely I believe that there are two sides of every story and although the forum leans strongly towards socialist ideals I still enjoy posting my independant free loving thoughts at times. I just wish some people had better things to do then try and start **** with perfect strangers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnyderShrugged Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 I wonder if the author of the statement would feel any different if he had more than 2 children already? very convenient for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people here disagree with the author's solution. However, to disagree that this planet is becomming far too populated is to walk around with blinders on.

Forehead Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 I do accept that everyone has an opinion but guys like Phoward12 can't have a civil talk... This is your idea of civil.....??? Screw that noise, this is just another step closer to becoming China. I really hate our Government and the idiots running it sometimes. Who the hell cares how the enviroment is affected? We are the rulers over this planet. We should use it how we damn well want to and then move to another planet when its all screwed up and not give a damn about this place. But this douchebage would probably be against space exploration because that sucks to them too I'll have as many kids as I want to and I hope you all do too. These hippy green thumb up there butts douchebags can all eat me. You must live and work with some really thick skinned people if this is considered casual conversation for you.

kuraitengai Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 hmmm....if this were actually enforced already. then we would not have witnessed the longest return in super bowl history last night. since james harrison was the 15th kid born? i think they said he was the youngest and had 7 brothers and 7 sisters. not saying that i agree with the 2 kid limit. but seriously, people need to learn moderation. do you really need to have 15 kids? or the unmarried woman with 14 kids? its called birth control people. use it.

Thiebear Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Exactly: No reason to half ass it like the Chinese. It's going to take 30-40 years before they die out due to killing all the girl children. If your going to do it, go all the way... Option1: Allow Israel to use a 5ton bunker buster on Iran.. This should start things nicely. Option2: open up that Ft. Detrick facility for tours like a cdc museum.. 60% reduction within a year easy Option3 No more living in the plains.. Near volcanoes, the mississippi or gulf coast... trailer homes ONLY in Florida. We need to put as much money and thought into this as Hydrogen cars.. ohh wait.. theres an idea..

PokerPacker Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 as a third-child, **** you green *******. seriously, though, two children for two people means population reduction. at best population stays the same, but not everyone reproduces therefore he's in effect suggesting that in order to "save the world", we need to downsize our own specie. kinda defeats the purpose, doesn't it?

Henry Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Abortion should not be a means of birth control to promote. Have an abortion ... for your country!

scruffylookin Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 He's absolutely correct. I worked at the World Bank and sat in on a ton of discussions regarding world poverty and solutions to it. So I listened to some of the leading people on the subject and I kept thinking the same thing, unless the human population stops growing, poverty is going to continue to be a reality. Oh and to the geniuses who don't think this is a problem. What are you going to do as the population continues to explode (because you think it's your god given right to procreate and all else be damned) and people start fighting for the limited resourses? It's already begun. Water shortages are causing huge problems in Africa right now and it's only going to get worse. Sorry, using up this planet and then moving on to another one isn't a solution, in fact it sounds alot like infestation to me. Seems to me some people don't mind humanity being nothing more than a species that does as it pleases and everything else be damned and that's just sad. Mandating 2 kids is a good start but that's all it would be, a start. This thing is going to get really bad really soon and looooooonnnnnng before we have any ability to colonize another planet, let alone find one that can sustain us.

Hey, I'm just here to put forth some 'solutions' we whine and whine about the problem.. but if your REALLY wanted to fix it the least you could do is put forth some effort. Mandatory Amazon crossings by swimming once when you reach 18.. everyone that makes it to the other side.. wins adulthood... Simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although they should have breaks in the middle for those who qualify by passing intelligence tests. Only the best and brightest will make it.

Special K Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Alrighty Greenzo! :thumbsup: If this moron really wants to talk about birth rates, he needs to focus his attention on developing nations, not us. It's these developing countries that have the unsustainable, skyrocketing birthrates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
