“How can they tell us we need more young Mexicans and Pakistanis to hold up the system, when the population of the planet must be reduced.”
Dirty little secret nobody likes to talk about. I’m all for charity and i don’t want to see people, especially children hungry BUT when we send money and food to someone, say the Palestinians, what happens? More babies they can’t feed. Do you realize,and it sounds like you do,just how many populations around the world can’t feed themselves? And when we or another 1st world nation sends them food or money all we are doing is making the problem worse, not better. If we tossed out all the illegals and cut off aid to their home nations i suspect while it would be pretty messy in the long run their populations would stabilize or shrink.
I am terrified of connecting the dots for Freepers.. they will eat me alive.
There is a huge disconnect on these threads between the reality of over population, migrating 3rd world people, the end of Work... ala Jeremy Rifkin... and government funding of Planned Parenthood, — and last but not least - why people are more upset about a lion than a fetus.
I am ONLY the messenger, but they are going to kill ME!
ECON ... 101... the more you have of anything, the less value is attached to same.
People, lions, babies.
this is the reality even if the people on this board are horrified by it.
And it’s not going to change. The world has too many people, and diminishing numbers of everything else.
There is no way the Christian right is going to stem the tide of growing sympathies for animals at the expense of people. People have been so successful, with the help of some cultures over others... that now everything else is at stake.
I don’t want to argue whether all of China could live in Texas... if all of China lived in Texas, it wouldn’t be livable... AND there wouldn’t be a sparrow left.
