and rocket science...

every time someone gets preggers you cheer as if that person had just invented rocket science or warp technologie.

it's not very difficult to become preggers, it's not an achievement. even insects who whave no conscious mind can manage that.

if the world population was 1 million. all in all. there would be no global warming, no chopping down of rain forests, no destruction to nature as we know it.

the root of the problem is overpopulation. doctoring around at the symptoms won't do a thing.

you can not cure a disease by treating the symptoms, you have to treat the disease itself.

Well for some people, it's pretty difficult to get preggies.

Re: Pregnancy

maybe it's the will of their god not to procreate?

or just common sense.

THis thread is confusing for me.

Are you begrudging people for having too many kids or you're point is it's no big deal getting pregnant?

Re: Pregnancy

uuhhhmmm my point is that breeding as if there was no tomorrow is not sustainable.

we know that the problem we have with global warming and the destruction of nature is due to too much people yet no one adresses it because it's politically unpopular.

my point is that even in a supposedly western enlightened country people still behave as if they lived in the middle ages.

we are NOT in the middle ages anymore. can you PLEASE stop behaving as if we lived in the middle ages?

lal-au0 — Sun, 28 Dec 2014 12:58:28 GMT

Would you suggest zero population growth or a limited population growth?

Re: Pregnancy

lal-au0 — Sun, 28 Dec 2014 13:06:11 GMT

look i don't really feel like playing games with you right now unless you want to make a contribution to this thread.

i know you, i have been here too long to get into bickering about things with you.

She didn't ask what motivation is.

The nuts were really nice. Shame you got a bad batch. The Brazil nuts are a little bit hard to get out of the shell but the walnuts and almonds and hazelnuts are great.

Is that at me?

I was trying to make a contribution. Zero population growth would cure the disease, but is not practical. Who would look after the elderly ? What happens when the population becomes static or declines.

hhmmm actually i would like a negative population growth. like 1.2 children/woman.

we live on a planet. there is FINITE arable land, there are FINITE resources. we can NOT expand and "grow the economy" forever. it just does not work like that.

unless we find another planet with an incredible amount of resources very close to earth ( which there isn't) we can not maintain growth without wiping out ourselves.

I've only known three people on the boards that chose not to procreate (one of them you) and in my mind that is a good thing as they would all be totally unable to put someone else first and themselves as a mother or father or care taker. Self selection at it's best.

na, i was talking to poddy.

the elderly will be our least problem. geez it's gov propaganda. we can NOT grow the economy indefinetely because we live on a FINITE space (our planet). it's just not possible.

we have already reached the limit long time ago. the planet is dying.
