As I have pointed out elsewhere, Russia's population is collapsing. It is projected to drop 21 MILLION in the next 30 years.

Meanwhile, the average age of the world has soared, and surprisingly the US is now a younger country than China.

The future is uncertain

Rich folks don’t make enough babies.

so let WEF adn UN run it all, Go Green, and let the Masses from the southernn hemisphere flood north.

No mention of getting governemnt, the WEF, and the UN out of the way
No mention of God Given rights, or ways to protect those gifts
No mention of Oligarch Fraudsters and Grifters (sorry, did I already mention WEF and UN?)
No mention of the Phony, Fraud, Cleptocracy of all the Glow-Bull AGW.

A nice read, but leave me the phook alone.
I have 12 in my family
Now, Get Off My Lawn!

“And God blessed Noe and his sons. And he said to them: Increase and multiply, and fill the earth.” GENESIS 9:1 (Douay Rheims)

This being a collective refusal on the part of man to fulfill God’s will, unless we get ourselves squared away spiritually, we should probably begin planning for all manner of calamity to befall us from this point forward.

Nah. None of the faithful in the Bible planned for a calamity to befall THEM. They planned for their prosperity and grace under God. They planned for the calamities to befall all the others.

And that’s what I do. “No weapon formed against me shall prosper” and I am “Blessed coming in and blessed going out.”

Other people can fear, but “God has not give you the spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.”

The article managed to avoid discussing the elephant in the room—IQs are going to drop world-wide.

The implications of that are truly frightening.

When I see stuff like this I think of Woody Allen’s movie “Sleeper”. The part with the orgasm ball. Its what the world needs. IMO, An orgasm pill will cut the population down for sure.

The US won’t have to worry about DEpopulation….

Joe Biden and the Democrats are making sure there are plenty of illegal aliens to fill the population gap created by all the aborted babies the Democrats have murdered.

That was too funny.

So sad that such a funny man was such a pervert (see: Bill Cosby).

The average IQ is dropping as well.

“Idiocracy” was not supposed to be a documentary.

Technically, the average IQ has dropped steadily since the Garden of Eden. Adam was the smartest human ever created.

True, but as I understand even there the rates are declining.

Zero Population Growth (ZPG) is a political movement has been around since the late 1960s.

It was countered by the hippies-free-love movements.
