Read “America Alone” by Mark Steyn.
Amazing how it works better this way.
They should import millions of Africans.
“Honshu, Japan’s largest island, has a population density of 1157 people per square mile, greater than that Rhode Island and about six times that of North Carolina. Who can blame the Japanese for wanting some space?”
Packed together like sardines. Thats healthy?
There are a lot of Japanese and their descendants living in other countries. Maybe they could offer some incentives to entice them back. Peru has a lot of Japanese, and of course America does. The recently arrived Japanese people I know like America because here there is more living space and they can afford more kids (usually 3) than they would have had in Japan. If Japan made housing for large families affordable and available, maybe more would return.
Douthat’s analysis, suprisingly in The Paper Of Record, is correct. A confluence of factors is bringing demographic winter to Japan more rapidly than anywhere else, a trend that is engulfing the world. The comments from NYT readers are also evidence that the lockstep avoidance of any analysis that doesn’t mesh with the Esatblished One is to be rejected.
Japan is aborting itself out of existence. Each year hundreds of thousands of lives are snuffed out.
What is the average of just the women that have at least one child? What might be happening is women that don't want children are removing themselves from the gene pool but women that do want children are having 2 or more. In time the birth rate may rise to normal levels as those that don't want children disappear from the picture.
Wait, was that wrong?
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) - Hundreds of protesters marched on Saturday in New York City against what they say are setbacks to equal rights and reproductive rights for women.
Saturdays march against the war on women was one of dozens around the country.
Protesters marched from Washington Square down Broadway to Foley Square.
They chanted Not the church, not the state, women must control their fate.
Brenda Reiss says she was taking part in the protest because of efforts in several states to restrict access to abortion and contraception. She says women will not be shoved back in the kitchen barefoot and pregnant.

Read the comments at the original story. “There are too many people!”.....”There’s not enough food!”.....Fear of what might be has killed more people in the last couple of hundred years (i.e. communism, fascism, abortion, liberalism) then weapons have. Cowards......a generation of selfish, self-absorbed, self-serving cowards.....
In a perverted country where children are sex objects (kiddie porn possession is legal)... who wants to have children? They obviously have no idea what the problem really is.

Frankly Japan would do well to get over their cultural xenophobia, and open immigration.
Even immigrants who have lived in Japan for generations, are profoundly discriminated against.
The new reality for Japan, is even more stark than the reality American are stubbornly trying to avoid looking at:
Japan faces Chinese domination. Soon.
They’re about to be overwhelmed, by the very same “Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere” they once tried to create.
And their new boss, is pretty p!ssed about some of the things they did, in places like NanJing.
Just saying.
Embrace the outside world, Japan. Welcome talented, determined immigrants who seek to join with you in friendship. This poster for one, would not mind climbing aboard.
Japan, with all the respect an ancient, innovative and outstanding culture deserves; this poster humbly mentions one simple fact for consideration:
You’ve already seen more clearly than perhaps any other nation - exactly what America is like, as a victor.
How do you suppose 1.3 billion Chinese Communists, will treat your nation, in that role?...
Birth control and abortions will govern the world’s population in the not-to-distant future. It would seem the seniors would rule....or not.
The movie was slightly less than PC at least when it came to Islam and the anti-facists. The mooslims were seen as crazies but not as crazy as the anti-facists and both were exterminated with predjudice and no one gave a fig.
