not at all... in fact, I think it's you who haven't yet thought about such a crisis such as overpopulation or how it should be handled... unless of course you like watching children starving to death...

One would think the "solution" to this would be to stop science from keeping people alive longer, as the elderly are not able to give back to society, and are just a "drain", whereas children grow to become the next generation of workers. Or, why not stop the mentally/physically/economically challenged from having children? Surely they are simply a burden on our population..?

Having a kid isn't a right, BTW... it's a responsibility... that's why there are laws against child abuse and why children in abusive homes are put in state care.

I don't understand how laws against child abuse means that having children is not a right?

Sava, you killed it.

I'm leaning closer to supporting a program that requires people to have parenting licenses.

Jeez! and what if they don't pass? sterilize them and/or take their kids off them?

"The mum reported the kids once got outside and were bitten by a dog. She said they kept them caged for their own protection," Sergeant Randy Force said.

The mum really needs to see a psychiatrist during her time in the slammer (and let's all hope it's a long, long time.)

Maybe she can spend the time studying to resit her Parenting Licence exams?

I'm not sure... I'd float a number of ideas depending on the severity of the overpopulation problem... the most drastic measure I would consider would be sterilization at birth and then the use of IV fertilization to people who qualify.

Sorry to burst your family values' bubbles guys... but I'm just speaking the truth. If the human population keeps doubling at the rate it has been, and the population far outgrows societies ability to feed people, such policies could become realities. And you know what? They would be the most moral means of saving the human race from such a disaster. Without such population control measures, billions would starve. But then again, it's more important for billions to starve rather than "infringe" on what your perceived "rights" are, right?

GOD, I sure hope so.

Even worse than this I'm afraid.

That's a big if, Sava. Some forecasts predict declining global population by 2050. Just look at Europe right now.

Hopefully this will convince all whining teenagers that their parents aren't really as bad as they think.

[st_swithin]

Yes, I read in a public service announcement that when teenagers say "I hate you" to their own parents, they REALLy mean "I hate this crummy life you're forcing me to live."

Being a teenager is the pits.

The story is a pathetic one, and it makes one want to punish theparents and do something to prevent it happening again.

But licensing reproduction?????
Sorry Sava, but that's inane and insane.

You're confusing the government with society -- two VERY different things.

And BTW, when's the last time the gov't got control of ANYTHING and made the situation better?

Yeah -- we should go back to eating contaminated and impure foods by disbanding the FDA.

It made things worse by improving the quality of our foods.
