I get so confused about dem dare "liberals"?
Do they believe in gun control or people control?
Do they believe in a woman's right to choose? What about their ideas on "capital punishment".
Dem liberals sure confuse me.:think2:

How many people is too many?

People have been speaking of overpopulation and harm to the earth and her resources since 200 AD.

Regardless of the resources, pollution, and whatever other problems, overpopulation generally lowers the quality of life.

So people today in a 6 billion person world live worse than people a 1 billion person world? Worse than people when the population was 1 million?

But what is a "liberal" view of population and can you give us a source?

4 billion is too many and, in addition to the talk, actual harm to the planet has become obvious in the last half century. As for your "that kid could be the next Bill Gates" idiocy, it could also be the next Hitler. The facts are that unintelligent, crime-prone taxpayer burdens tend to reproduce faster than their counterparts resulting in a higher and higher percentage of the population being a destabilizing force for society. China understands this; the US, and it's religious freaks, doesn't.

So people shouldn't have kids because they might be bad ( Hitler) instead of good ( gates)? Where did you pick the 4 billion number from, your ass?

So if we shouldn't have kids anymore, should the government regulate who has babies and who doesn't? Should you need a permit to have a child like you need a permit to drive a car?

Who isn't allowed to have more babies? Rich, poor, black, white, hispanics, people under a certain IQ? Who gets do decide? Does the government create a new agency to regulate birth and control population?

What happens if somebody gets pregnant without a permit? Manditory abortion?

You asked for a number so I gave you one; if I hadn't you would have continued some kind of foolish "but you must have a specific number in mind" garbage. The policy should be one child per family and, yes, enforced by mandatory abortion. This is eminently workable; it works in China.

Should we adpot their human rights policies too?
Throwing baby girls in the river works?

You say it works in china, what happens when all of these parents with 1 child retire and you have 1/3rd of the population supporting 2/3rds of the population? It is the problem America has with social security/baby boomes on steroids. Nobody wants to pay huge taxes for other people.

I love this topic, it really attacks the liberals view points. They say things like kill the elderly or let them die off, kill and abort babies from families who already have one child.

Do you understand how unpopular and crazy these stances are? I would love if Obama started preaching these opinions, he would be burned toast.

Again, where on earth do you see this? It's honestly the first time I have heard such a thing. I agree it's crazy. I don't believe it though.

Well a few posts above Drunken Horseplayer said babies should be aborted if a family already has 1 child ( like China).

and Realestatepro was talking about denying old people medical care and letting them die off in one of the threads yesterday or 2 days ago.

I am glad you don't believe me. I want you to hear it from them.

Fair enough. I didnt see that. I don't share those views fwiw and I consider myself fairly far left.

I think these topics, religion, the enviornment, population just evoke so much emotion and it goes along with the whole liberal mantra of "the government must do something to prevent this" that these guys come out with such radical and unpopular view points.

How many American family men want to have some Government worker in a uniform come and take the pregnant wife to kill their 2nd born child? That might be the thing we need for a full out revolution, because if somebody ever tried to do that I would go postal, no joke.

Never said we should adopt their human rights policies, just their one child policy. If SS can't support retirees, government should step in to help. Sure, it would be a burden on the taxpayers but would be far less than the burden that will result with unchecked population growth. BTW, if you think I'm a liberal you're a fool.

You shouldn't be kidding because you're right on the money; he might be a poster called TA/SPV who has been banned from several forums.

If social security doesn't work then the government should step in? Now what do you think social security actually is? A private program?

Unchecked population growth? Do you understand that the American/European populations would be stagnant unless we didn't have large groups of immigrants moving into our country?

Like I said, if some government official is coming to my house in a uniform to take away my wife to abort our second child, they better bring a swat team because I WILL exercise my right to bear arms and shoot the shit out of you.

1) I'm aware that SS is run by the government
2) But we do have large groups of immigrants arriving (most of which should be deported)
3) Like most far-right (and far-left) wackos, you talk tough but if agents showed up ready to seriously enforce the law you would most likely go quietly and if you didn't then you'd be dead and the law would be enforced over your dead, as opposed to live, body.
