“the national fertility rate in Turkey for 2024 at 1.48 children per woman of child-bearing age”

Surprisingly low.

He needs to import all of Gaza.

LOL... I thought the same...

Perhaps if they bathed.

I knew this guy from Turkey, his name was Gurhang Gur, but everyone called him Gur.

It was amusing to call 411 and ask for Gur Gur and how many times they wanted to hear it before asking me to spell it, and their surprise when they found it.

Is there even 411 anymore?

[Twotone]

From Gaza? Let’s ship them some of ours instead. Whole cities need to be de-Muslimized.

[Paladin2]

Them too.

[Racketeer]

Must not be many white men in Turkey. Muslim women love the white boys.

The World Wide Web changed nearly everything in how most of us see the world. Since the ‘Net, even dirt poor countries now understand the difference between their level of living and other countries. Some of those other countries are not even very far away.

This awareness of how women in other lands now live, may be having an effect on how many Turkish women will use birth control or will endeavor to have more babies. If Erdogan relaxed the rules making women wear a hijab and always be in company of a male, this level of support may lead to more women choosing to have more children.

Even Islamic nations have low birth rates—Iran, Turkey, Gulf States.

It makes sense on why the Talbian is cracking down on the Internet in Afghanistan.

The population of the earth is supposed to start falling. The growth we have seen in the past 75 years is no longer sustainable.

[mitchjackson1972]

Everyone complains about this being a population collapse, yet others have pointed out it could just be a overpopulation correction that will eventually level out

I scanned the headline and thought it read:

Turkey Is Facing a Fertilizer 'Disaster'

I thought, "Why don't we send them some of ours. The fertilizer produced in the Capitol Building alone should be enough to supply their entire agricultural system.

Erdogan should start by impregnating himself!

[sheik yerbouty]

A truly great idea!

[Moltke]

They seem to prolifirate at alarming rates in Germany, where generous child welfare benefits are available - generated by a German population that cannot afford children due to sky high taxation to fund...welfare benefits. Hmm....

Gaza?! Import from here in America!

An /s for both of us.

When I was in high school I called asking for a classmate's father's number. His name was Hryhorij Pashtenko (Russian).

The information lady, said "That's a strange name." I joked "It's a strange family." She responded without missing a beat "Of which you, no doubt, are a member?"

I was teased, but it was a great rejoinder. Sometimes I miss live people for these things.

Maybe Turkey can import some “refugees” from neighboring countries (or Gaza!) to solve the problem.
