Researchers from Imperial College London believe that when species become asexual they could be on their way to extinction... P. marneffei is a fungus which causes disease in people with damaged immune systems, such as HIV/AIDS patients, and it is only found in parts of south-east Asia... Dr Bill Hanage, one of the paper's authors, from Imperial College London, adds: "By being asexual, P. marneffei is not only limiting its ability to adapt, it may be at risk of becoming extinct. If it is unable to adapt to new environments, it will be unable to adapt to changes in its current environment. While becoming asexual may provide short term advantages to a species, in the long term, they are likely to end up in evolution's ultimate dustbin -- extinction."

White folks are not reproducing at a replacement rate in Europe and barely in the US. Interesting to note it is white people who are pushing homosexuality on kids...

Kids cost too much. Kids interfere with drinking and partying. Kids have a lot of homework (a sin in my eyes) and require a whole bunch of upkeep. Kids take money that could be better spent on new cars, toys, vacations, etc. And, kids make divorces messy.
parsy, the disgusted

I think it stems from genital mutilation.

The indoctrination of Feminism to women may have a part to do with this, and the anti-family indoctrination by the liberals.
The Liberal agenda is basically : anti-God, anti-family, anti-America, anti- freedom, anti-free speech ( only for them ) , anti-Capitalism.

Oh, I meant that sarcastically. I forget the /s things sometimes. Yes, to me the best part of life was the kids, particularly when they are like 2 - 12 or so. Every day is an adventure. I was a “single mom” at age 22. Ex-wife joined the Air Force. Raised my daughter alone until she was 8.
Frankly, without them, life is kinda pointless now. Little joy and much depression.
parsy, whose nest is empty
