When I was young the constant refrain was that the ice age would come back, so we just need to enslave all mankind. After they realized that the climate would continue to warm for a considerable period before the next ice age, since scientists had discovered that that was the pattern, they switched to the climate is warming, we need to enslave all mankind. Now they don't know which to follow so it's we have climate change and we have to enslave all mankind. Similarly, it was we have a population explosion so we need to enslave all mankind, so now they can switch to we have a depopulation problem and we need to enslave all mankind. And of course we have a gun problem so we must enslave all mankind. Are we seeing a pattern here?
We are doing this to ourselves. Anytime a Queer Marxist tells your boy he's a girl, or your girl she's a boy, and tells them how to get an appointment to mutilate themselves, we lost a fertile couple.
Anytime a feminist screams for abortion on demand, she wants to remove her genes from the pool and we lose another fertile couple.
If we aren't careful, we will no longer be fruitful and multiply.
China has gone from hellhole to emergent superpower during this disaster you write about.
This is not an endorsement of China's One Child Policy. It is just suggesting that ever increasing population is not a good idea -- unless you like eating bugs and dogs. China is still very overpopulated by U.S. standards: four times the average number of people per square mile.
Any economic system that depends on ever increasing population is defective. (Which was the subject of my most recent post, BTW.)
I agree to disagree with you on this issue. Population is, like immigration and abortion, an issue where we intelligent, freedom-loving people disagree with each other, and that's a good thing IMO. As opposed to the anti-freedom people who seem to agree on bizarre untruths in lockstep, without any internal disagreement. As long as those beliefs result in bigger government and more government control
I say have as many children as you want as long as YOU can pay to educate them, feed, and clothe them and house them. It isn't my job to feed, house and cloth someone else's children. Welfare recipients = BLUE states.
I do? Why would I expect that? Why would I actually expect social security to even exist? Isn't a coerced system with the threat of VIOLENCE behind it? So if I have $10,000 taken from me and my employer has $10,000 taken from him, wouldn't at the very least I expect back $20,000 with interest accrued? Fact is, @Eugine Nier they aren't paying for it out of any "fund" as it stands. It's all make believe and you have fallen for the lies. Here, I'm going to give you a short economics lesson as well as those reading my response....
"The Federal Government, with the cooperation of the Federal Reserve, has the inherent power to create money--almost any amount of it."
~ The National Debt, Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia, p. 8
ALMOST? Why only ALMOST? What keeps them from creating ALL they want? You? Me? Your dog? A full moon?
Federal Reserve Notes are not federal, represent no monetary reserves and no longer conform to the definition of notes. Failing to state who, will pay what, when or to whom - they ceased to be legal tender notes, (offers of money) almost 60 years ago. They are in fact instruments of legalized THEFT.
"...Keynes argues that inflation is a 'method of taxation' which the government uses to 'secure the command over real resources, resources just as real as those obtained by [ordinary] taxation'. 'What is raised by printing notes, ' he writes, is just as much taken from the public as is a beer duty or an income tax.' "
- 1980 Annual Report, Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, pg 10
"All the paper money issued today is Federal Reserve notes. The real backing for the nation's money is faith in the strength, soundness and stability of the American economy."
~ The Hats the Federal Reserve Wears, Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia, pg 4
Faith is what backs our monetary system. YOUR faith. Do you still have faith?
"When plunder has become a way of life for a group of men living together in society, they create for themselves in the course of time a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it."
~ Frederic Bastiat in "The Law"
"Lenin is said to have declared that the best way to destroy the capitalist system was to debauch the currency. By a continuing process of inflation,
governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens."
~ 1980 Annual Report, Federal Reserve
Bank of Richmond, pg 6
Isn't confiscation of the wealth of the citizens a nice way of saying STEALING?
"Whenever the legislators endeavor to take away and destroy the property of the people, or to reduce them to slavery under arbitrary power, they put themselves into a state of war with the people, who are thereupon absolved from any further obedience." ~ John Locke (1690)
If the money you earn has no value and you are forced through fiat paper legislation to take it for your labor, are you not having your property (labor) destroyed and are you not being reduced to nothing but slavery? Is not the state at war with the people?
5th Plank Communist Manifesto: Centralization of credit in the hands of the state, by means of a national bank with state capital and an exclusive monopoly.
The Federal Reserve System, created by the Federal Reserve Act of Congress in 1913, is indeed such a “national bank” and it politically manipulates interest rates and holds a monopoly on legal counterfeiting in the United States. This is exactly what Marx had in mind and completely fulfills this plank, another major socialist objective. Yet, most Americans naively believe the U.S. of A. is far from a Marxist or socialist nation.
"The writers of the constitution knew exactly what they were doing when they wrote in Article I Section 10 paragraph 1 'No state shall... make anything but gold and silver coin a tender in payment of debts. ' People able to barter with gold and silver coin control government and are free. Loss of the right to trade in gold and silver coin enslaves people to the creators of psychological 'money.'":
Prior to their one child policy, China was sending waves of soldiers at U.S. troops where only some of the soldiers were armed. They were supposed to pick up the weapons of their fallen comrades.
Today, they are mass producing battleships, buying up American farmland, creating hypersonic missiles, and corrupting our youth.
Very true. Their poverty was due to communism. The Chinese economic miracle was the result of their abandoning collectivism. The Chinese themselves tell this story.
The 1-child policy probably helped China financially in that era in one way: It is very expensive for the society to feed, house, educate and provide health care to children. And during the 1-child era China cut that expenditure and could spend the invest the money other things.
But I would argue that investing in children pays off in the future. And not doing so hurts in the future.
Isn't China still communist? I suspect that they are as all 10 planks are in full effect just like here in the US. They are just more of a totalitarian style communism...so far. Since January 6th we are showing that we can be too. Anyhow, since they ARE communist, how much does it cost ANYONE that can create fiat money, which China also has, out of thin air to feed, house, educate and provide health care to children? How much would it cost me to buy paper, ink and keep my printing press operating if I could print all I wanted of illegal counterfeit up to use? Legal counterfeiting is what Fed Notes are.

Obviously, you want to have future generations. Whether those generations should be ever increasing is what I dispute. As Ben Franklin pointed out centuries ago (and influenced Adam Smith along the way), the United States could be rich and relatively egalitarian because we had a very high ratio of land and capital to labor.
Europe bounced out of the Middle Ages in part due to the Black Death. With more farmland than peasants, peasants got bargaining position. The rosy picture of the Middle Ages of the peasants working less than modern factory workers comes from the post Black Death era.
England was delaying marriage more than much of Europe during the Renaissance. Shakespeare was making fun of the Italians in Romeo and Juliet. Juliet was 13; her mother got pregnant with Juliet when she was 12.
The Progressive Era began when the American frontier closed.
High population density = Blue politically, with a few scenic area exceptions.
Actually, I don't disagree at all. I never knew that I could get pregnant; my dad didn't tell me about that when we had "the talk." I guess I was lucky all those years living dangerously. I love the pictures in the posts. Fred

L:ack of guns and the will to use them on the psychopathic control freak PARASITES that infest the world is the main issue.

Who have thought Bill Gates would take the profits from the Microsoft products we loyaly bought for years and use the money to hurt people?
On Gates, some prime lyrics in this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rRq-5vue0TI&ab_channel=VanMorrison-Topic
Much thanks for the link, Carl! It's great,
"...no more economic forum... cause they're staring at the gates from hell..."
I did not know that Van Morrison had come down on the side of the angels. Maybe I should have guessed from the lyrics of Tupelo Honey,
"You can't stop us on the road to freedom
You can't keep us 'cause our eyes can see
Men with insight, men in granite
Knights in armor bent on chivalry"

Very well.
And now it's likely to collapse as a superpower due to its demographic problems.

The one child policy did not prevent the stupendous growth China has experienced in the last few decades.
Whether it helped or not is hard to know.
You have a good point IMO.

High population density = Blue politically, with a few scenic area exceptions.
It hasn't prevented it yet since it takes time for children to grow up.
The policy ran from 1980 to 2016. Pretty much covers their military age today.
China also has four times the land we do.
Russia has two times the land.
China: 3,705,407 sq mi
United States: 3,796,742 sq mi
Yes, a good chunk of that US total is Alaska. But China has a Tibet and parts of Mongolia. And much of China is incredibly mountainous.
China has four times the population DENSITY.
