Thread: SHOULDN'T WE BE SERIOUSLY STOPPING OUR POPULATION GROWTH?

I worry that time and time again we allow the government to pass more and more bandaid laws wrapping everything in tape and giving over more and more freedom and control while the environment and the population continues to suffer. If I pay the local thugs for protection I expect not to be robbed in the meantime as it should just be good business for them to protect me and my shop so I continue to pay. I don't know what the betters are thinking it's all rather confusing.

That started the problem. Actually, opium houses probably did. And thus started the degradation of human worth, it's easier to opt out of the human condition than face up to the problems associated with it.

I see we come from two vastly different places Mr Bob. Glad that people are talking about these kinds of things though. Just remember though hemp is not the same as sativa or indica and if you drink tea or coffee your consuming a more addictive substance anyway.

China has upped hemp production to record highs. (Interesting side note). Land Rover built with hemp powered by hemp fuel that is what I want.

There are still people in the developed world that think there isnt a problem! Were not going to live on any other planets, its not going to all get better any time soon.

It's a sobering thought that the loss of life in the 2 world wars combined would make no difference to the fundermental problem going foward.
Someone posted that breeding was a basic human right, theres a problem right there! rights rights wont come into it.

A reduction of some 5 billion humans would see us right, hows that going to happen?

i just don't think that this "final solution" idea is the way to go. Why can't we just pull finger out and force change to the way we manufacture and live? Because people are to busy with bs like kardashians. Sad stuff.

The most effective way to limit population growth is to educate girls. Birth rates plummet once girls learn to read and write and get a chance at living better lives, rather than letting men treat them as baby factories. Once the national birth rate average falls below 2 populations start to decline except when there is high immigration. If the planet's average birth rate could be gotten below 2 then people could move to better countries to live and the overall planetary birth rate would continue to fall.
China and Japan are examples of below replacement birth rates following female education. Most developed countries are already at below replacement birth rates.

Weather is weather. Population control is another thing

Almost entire planet practice capitalism. It's based on over consumption and over credit. It will always need new market,new consumer so that there will be a demand to buy **** they don't need, and so people can produce stuffs that they do not need, and at the end, people can get a loan to buy **** they don't need.

To sustain our economy, we will always have to cherry pick healthy young men and women from other countries.

This is one of the reason why EU has to expand. This is all because of the way our economy runs.

Japan is probably the only country that doesn't have large immigrants influx. Check out their economy..Look that the flat rate of their property value and their economy. Their interest rate is negative. Not enough people to buy stuffs, not enough young people to produce and consume. also Japan will have to increase retirement age to 70.

Bu then Japanese are different as they are fundamentally xenophobic, very prejudiced and discriminary. And most importantly they seem to be able to tolerate a stagnating economy.....

I will admit op is not internally racist as in want immigrants in Australia out, but externally racist like Japan who does not wish any new comer to join us.

So immigration cap is perhaps more of a money problem rather than a climate change solution.....
