Population Control

[Odin]

I don't get why couples have more than 2 children in this age of surging populations, especially in 3rd world countries. We are choking in our own wastes. If we want everyone on earth to have US/European level quality of life we would have to reduce our population to 1 billion. I would like to ge it down to 500 million people.

[General Ludd]

In third world countries people have more then 2 children so that the family can have enough working bodies to get by.

I reccomend you start this yourself and make up for them by sterilizing yourself.

I was never planning to have kids. They are too expensive and I have a lot of genetic problems (obesity, ADHD, risk of Adult Diabetes) that I don't want to pass on.

[Datajack Franit]

Not to mention the waste of energy in producing kids

[jdd2007]

Obesity and ADHD?

Man that must be funny...

its all in the third world. infact europe is going to tank itself in pensions because it has no work force left to support its progressive kind hearted welfare state.

the main problem as I see it is we take a population of a 1000 starving ppl and through our immense kindness and aid make it a starving population of 10 000 w/ a ruthless overlord attached on the end.

and of course there's India. something needs to be done about them too.

I can see it now, patriotic posters like in the war:

"If you're smart, GET PREGNANT! It's the American Way!"
"Hey, Egghead! Go Screw A Hot Babe Instead of Doing Calculus!"
"STUPID CASHBACKS -- IQ Under 110? Don't Screw, Get a Hefty Check from the Government!"

[GhengisFarb™]

Yeah, the US needs some sort of incentive for imigrants or mass child bearing its vastly underpopulated. Heck the whole planet is, people just need do migrate to where the food is.

Let all the Catholics who don't mind having big families keep doing so.

As for intelligence, who ever said intelligence was inherited?

Or are you just using most excellent sarcasm Mr. Mitchell?

Why stop there?

[Ben Kenobi]

Well, if he wants to start sterilising other people, go ahead.

Although you might want to ask first.

Retroactive abortion?
