I thought these bozos were worried about overpopulation

That's what all the pollution is for!

[weikel]

ROTFLMAO.

...fish placed in the water to test it did not become feminised.

We've got our own Ireland - and she's had results converting both males and females...

I can't believe no one had said it yet! "Your mother was a hamster and your father smells of elderberries!"

We've got our own Ireland - and she's had results converting both males and females...

Is that Patricia Ireland or Kathy Ireland?

[Dick Bachert]

Hey, this guy can help. She might also be able to lend a hand:

160 million per millilitre of semen to 66 million.

And the royal navy is decreasing too.

And you must remember the best of the British male gene lines were decimated during 1914-1918 and 1939-1945.

Don't forget that the settlement of the United States from the 1500s to 1800s drained GB of the adventuresome and self motivated bloodlines. They've been left with (unfortunately for the world) a bunch of Chamberlins.

The environmentalists tried this "sperm count dropping" ploy a few years ago.

It's a completely silly theory because there's almost no country as polluted as Mexico and they have very high birth rates.

from about 160 million per millilitre of semen to 66 million

Obviously, they're going to have to work at it harder to make up for it

And this Freeper article goes with it, too....
'Europe has the lowest fertility rates in the world'
I was thinking, oh no, not THAT~ that just maybe God is decreasing fertility rates so the world doesn't get overpopulated? Just like HE got rid of the dinoasaurs and HE just may be getting rid of some species of animals? Maybe the "endangered species" are species God wants to get rid of on earth for HIS own reasons.... To avoid overcrowding and overpopulation? And MAYBE HE is creating Global Warming for a reason? (IF there is any such thing as Global Warming? I think it is a hoax) Just maybe GOD is in control of HIS universe and HE has Plan? I know, governments and scientists HATE it when THAT happens...

GOOD ONE! French men have all been neutered? he he Know why the French streets were always lined with trees? So the Nazi Army could march in the shade.

Maybe, rather than pollution, it's the easier life (less physically hard work) in developed countries that reduces the count. Our higher standard of living is great, but far fewer people have to do physical work, which could be statistically significant...

[Kermit]

Other research by the US Government's Environmental Protection Agency shows that, proportionately, a man now produce only about a third as much sperm as a hamster.

Why aren't hamsters affected by the pollution. There was more pollution in 1950 than 1970.

[Joe Boucher]

That's good, I like that one.

MANHOOD.........Use it or lose it

[The Raven]

Typical. They find something they can't explain and blame it on pollution. With no proof. I bet they can get a better correlation with size of governments.
