[Forgotten Amendments]

NANCY NOLAN: I'm old enough to be a grandmother, but I'm not.

LUDDEN: Nancy Nolan tells two younger women that people didn't know about climate change when she had her kids in the '80s. Then she became a climate activist. Her children are grown now.

NOLAN: And when they were old enough to go off on their own, you know, I said to them, I hope you never have children, which is an awful thing to say. It can bring me to tears easily.

[miss marmelstein]

That’s a relief.

[Lorianne]

As Martha Stewart would say: It’s a good thing.

[beethovenfan]

Good. May their tribe vanish.

[max americana]

HOORAY!

[max americana]

AND LESS stupid voters.

[SaxxonWoods]

I think it’s a great idea.

[karnage]

All clouds have silver linings!

[JBW1949]

It’s truly amazing that of all their dire predictions over the last thirty-five years none have materialized...NONE!!!!
NADA!!!! NON!!!!! NYET!!!!!

But still they go on.......And on....And on.....

[bgill]

Good. Less brainwashed liberal kids who grow up to be brainwashed liberal voting adults.

[arthurus]

Liberals of all stripes should not have children. It lends to CO2 emissions and strains the planet’s resources, not to mention liberal children are detrimental in all ways to Western Civilization.

[Kickass Conservative]

They should just Off themselves just in case they get older and wiser. Why take a chance?

[Incorrigible]

G. K. Chesterton

"Surplus population"

"SCROOGE is not only as modern as Gradgrind but more modern than Gradgrind. He belongs not only to the hard times of the middle of the nineteenth century, but to the harder times of the beginning of the twentieth century; the yet harder times in which we live. Many amiable sociologists will say, as he said, "Let them die and decrease the surplus population." The improved proposal is that they should die before they are born.

"It is notable also that Dickens gives the right reply; and that with a deadly directness worthy of a much older and more subtle controversionalist. The answer to anyone who talks about the surplus population is to ask him whether he is the surplus population; or if he is not, how he knows he is not. That is the answer which the Spirit of Christmas gives to Scrooge."

~G.K. Chesterton: Introduction to A Christmas Carol. (1922)

And this is a bad thing how...?

[A_Former_Democrat]

So Nancy Nolan is also about no more immigration to not just the USA, but to the West? Good.

After all, immigrants settle in cities, create housing and traffic congestion, commit crimes and abuse at much higher rates, and cause the paving of virgin lands, forests, farmland, etc.

And Nancy Nolan also should be moving to a non-GW country and limiting a primitive lifestyles

Turnabout is fair play

[Trillian]

Communists and population control. Always coming up with new reasons for the same old lies.

[The_Media_never_lie]

This is a scam. Reminds me of these zero population growth movement of the 1970s. It is all about cultural genocide.

[Calusa]

Darwin awards all around!!!!

GOOD; perhaps we will get lucky and these IDIOTS will non-breed themselves into EXTINCTION.

(just leaves more for me, snicker,snicker)
