Germans are a selfish lot...and grumpy, too. But you're right, the Turks will have the babies that the Germans don't want to bother with. Wonder what they will decide to call Deutschland when they take over?

I thought the world was overpopulated! too many people /s

The uneducated think this is no big deal. A simple population model of this trend is a complete disaster.

Hey, maybe Pope John Paul II really was right, after all.

I cringe when I hear young couples say "we can't afford to have kids".

Disagree. The Roman empire fell due to same forces. Barbarians (Huns, goths, germans..) moved across the border, were quasa-assimilated, bought off, etc. The rest is history.

Amazing. Never in history has a country been invaded and conquered by inviting in outsiders and then suicidally letting them take over the country by sheer numbers.

USA?

[Alouette]

They lost world war II. Oh the HUU MEEL EE AY SHUN! How many Jews do they wish to welcome? Ich kann Deutsch sprechen, ich möchte in Deutschland wöhnen, kann ich doch dort Arbeit gefinden?

Unless he's drinking really light beer, I don't think I'd call him a dieter.

Thankfully, most of the second generation Turks are VERY secular. I'm more worried about France, the Netherlands, and Belgium more than I am Germany.

In my time spent in Germany, I've always found most Germans to have the yuppie attitude toward children and "breeders." If you have many children, they see you as "uneducated" and "third world."

Europe is dying.... most societies are already below replacement levels. Imagine an empty continent in two centuries. To think of the alarmists who warned us forty years ago of the specter of overpopulation. If anything, the great threat today is underpopulation. Suddenly, demography is back in the news.

Their citizens in their 20's are too busy dancing to techno to have children.

"Let's dance"

[InvisibleChurch]

exactly ... muslim countries are populating like wildfire with under-20 populationss reaching nearly 50%

This birth dearth seems to be affecting all of Europe. I thought I read on FR a couple months ago the French were paying families (native) something like the equivalent of $1,400/month/child to encourage more French babies.
