[ On the other hand, the stupid and impoverished masses are breeding like rabbits. ]

Shows his contempt for Humanity.

He wants the world population down to 6 million? Seems like a pretty aggressive goal.

Can’t he just go to some of his rangeland in Nebraska or whatever and be alone?

“Everywhere I go there are crowds of people. A person can’t get any solitude or privacy anymore. We can’t go on like this. We’ve got to put a lid on this thing before it’s too late.”

Yes, I saw that interview! Didn't he also complain that his heating bill had gone up, and these frickin' breeders should stop using so much damn fuel?

[puppypusher]

I agree with Ted Turner on this one.All illegal alien’s should be sterilized to prevent them from having multiple kids on the American Taxpayers dime.

“There are just too damn many people,” Turner complained. ‘

I know how to reduce the surplus population of idiot billionaires by one! No one would miss him either!

Good satire rests on the principle that the truth is usually stranger than fiction. This is a good satire.

Ted Turner is a megalomanic globalist nut. So is George Soros, but he has much, much more money. Money talks.

BTW, China’s one-child policy has resulted in the 100 million-strong Chinese Peoples’ Bachelor Army (”We Are Deployable and Horny”).

Media billionaire Ted Turner urged world leaders to impose a sort of “cap-and-trade” system for live births in order to reduce the global population. Under the Turner plan, each person would be entitled to participate in procreating one child. This right could be sold or used.

“There are just too damn many people,” Turner complained. “Everywhere I go there are crowds of people. A person can’t get any solitude or privacy anymore. We can’t go on like this. We’ve got to put a lid on this thing before it’s too late.”

If there weren't so "damn many people", the audience size would negatively affect the advertising rates for your cable networks, and then the revenues wouldn't pay the mortgage on your "solitude and privacy" land holdings, Mr. Turner.

“There are just too damn many people,” Turner complained. “Everywhere I go there are crowds of people.

How much time IS Ted Turner spending in the Third World these days?

[a fool in paradise]

Prosperous and intelligent people are having too few children. On the other hand, the stupid and impoverished masses are breeding like rabbits. If we clamp down, yet give them the option of selling their birth rights they can trade their poverty for prosperity by selling to someone who can afford to pay for it.

And what is the punishment for some "stupid and impoverished" person who gets pregnant AFTER getting paid "birth right" money?

Death?

And most of those, I’m betting, would be the offspring of superior stock.”

This is satire folks. It's made up, fake.

[a fool in paradise]

“A vigorously enforced plan could halve the population in each succeeding generation,” Turner observed. “In only ten generations we could get the world population down to a more manageable 6 million total. And most of those, I’m betting, would be the offspring of superior stock.”

Um, Ted. We could get the numbers down if we closed our medical schools, ended all medical research, and permitted WMD use in our wars.

[Walkingfeather]

We could put and feed the worlds population just on Turners ranch in New Mexico

[Wuli]

I always knew he was nut. There should no longer be any doubt.
