Biden "Fully Undersands" China's One Child Policy

Plenty of space? Where, in the dessert? Or upwards in a skyscraper? Perhaps built on a junk pile like Manhatten, or whichever NY city it is. Every year in America alone we lose millions of acres due to home, businesses, and highways being built. And a lot of that is farmland. The farmlands of the world are shrinking each day while the population keeps going up. It's just a matter of time.
......Gawd, I sould like a hippie

And how can gov pop control be economically hurtful when there are still people that are hungry and jobless? For instance, take away 100million people spread across the earth. There would be no reason for anyone to be jobless unless due to injury or illness. OR, what if those 100M souls were the homeless, there would be no more spending on feeding them or for health care. Taxes and costs of most items would go down. Economically helpfull.

In developing countries more people raises output and as a country becomes developed people have less children. Wealth isn't fixed. Those people are not jobless because of overpopulation...in an unregulated market anyone can open a business and create a job. Either way, I wasn't saying that there wasn't some level where population can't be above what is optimal... but that population control by the government is always economically harmful which does not help poverty which is why people go hungry. Go back up a few posts and read the family senario. Apply that to a bunch of families. Wow. I must be bored. lol

Who gets to determine who gets to exist? How do you get rid of certain parts of the population? You can not do it morally or ethically. You can't do it. What about education? What about technology? The earth has plenty of room and resources well into the future. We can't entertain these type of thoughts. We can't start allowing people to control us out of fear.

So let's rid ourselves of a few billion people. Who has to go first?

I say anyone who argues in favor of population control should be first in line.

I can't help but think I've heard about this population control concept at least a few times before.

lol, i've been on here for about 10 years now and yes, every so often it tends to pop up. I wouldn't doubt that for every 15-20 religous posts, there is probably one mentioning pop control

Some little German guy already tried the idea about 60+ years ago.

How much compassion did you have when you typed that? Maybe it is because I am a woman. Even so, as more countries become developed the less children they have. The human race has never been so well off. The world's food baskets are full, poverty is why people still go hungry. Governmental population control is economically harmful actually, so it does not help hunger at all. There is plenty of space. Overall, I believe in people's right to not have someone above them make such a decision for them. The older I get the more I think it's best I just stick with my one kid. Not because I need someone to force me, but because I don't think time or technology is going to fix what is broken inside of people.

I thought you said you wanted two more kids. That reminds me is it your turn to fly to Pittsburgh this weekend or my turn to fly to KC? I lost track..

 

[cindylou]

what? lol

no..I don't want two more kids

 

[ledhead]

what? lol

no..I don't want two more kids

Yeah, that's right you said 3, that's too many...

 

[cindylou]

I want a bunch of kids...at least 10. I also need someone else to pay for them.

 

[cindylou]

someone else to carry and deliver them too
