Shrinking population threatens West's culture

Absolutely. And Moslems pop babies out at lightning speed, while we continue to abort, harvest [for cells], discard, and prevent ours from being born. Tragic.

BTTT!

Another well-written article with a little bit different focus.

The Economics of Abortion and Contraception, Parts I and II

I'm glad Ms. Stebbins doesn't let facts get in her way. The historical population figures for the US and the projected population growth don't seem to match the author's assertions.

Maybe she was talking about the illegal immigrant population in the US. No. Illegal immigration in the US is increasing at geometric porportions.

I've got it! She was talking about wage earning tax payers. They're decreasing by single digit proportions each year in the US.

Believe it or not, their culture is superior in a way over ours in the sense that they love and cherish their big families, and they do not abort their babies. To them, it is a joy to have another child born in the world. For us, a child is a pain, so we must abort the child.

All the while Westerners are fed story after story about overpopulation. Maybe I really should start wearing a tinfoil cap, because I am positive all this is not all coincidence.

Go take in another mouthful of Lotus and get back to us later.

[Torie]

Ah another cultural pessimist. The list is getting so depressingly long. Sometimes I think we are all going to die.

And you know it isn't just the Moslems that are overshadowing us in Population. They are but one pagan culture that is surpassing us Islam [already mentioned]
Mandarin China
Hindu India

Hilaire Belloc was right. I'll have to send you a link from him that I want you to see.

"This past year, the United Nations has twice sent out alarmed bulletins, warning that Europe, the United States, Canada and many other countries have so badly fallen behind in replacing their populations that they are at serious risk of extinction"

Ahhhh...the UN. And their solution is always third world immigration. I'm not buying it.

You probably would have been a happy camper if you lived when the Roman Empire collapsed, I suspect.

[Post Toasties]

Why don't you simply admit that you either don't believe in or don't particularly care for the values of human rights and freedoms that Western Civilization represents?

[Post Toasties]

I think there's a lesson to be learned that Western Civilization currently is being seriously undermined by its widespread belief that children are unimportant and unnecessary to the maintenance of a society and its assumed living standards.

Those who point to populations which are not dropping severely just yet are missing the point. When the first aging, non reproducing cohort (something like 1 child per female, average) dies off in the next few decades, the native depopulation will be rapid unless some widespread attitude adjustments occur.

As I say we are consuming ourselves just like the United States Government.We no longer have values,morals or leadership. It is like a cancer eating away!Our politicians are a bunch of self centered egotistical morons. But what does that say for the populace? You be the judge?Have we had a fraud perpetuated upon us and our so called freedom is really a farce? Are there any real differences in the Democrat and Republican Party? Are our political Parties being controlled and run from afar like the stock market? Who and what is the World Bank?

[livius]

It's very disturbing. Spain and Italy, formerly the European states with the highest birth rate, now have a birth rate of 1.2. This means that with every generation, the native born population will be halved. Most of their immigrants are North Africans and Africans, mostly Muslim.

Spain, for one, is already having serious problems with its Muslim immigrants, who are becoming more powerful every day. And of course, in our new "enlightened" religious environment, no attempt is being made to convert these people to the religion that was the source and vehicle of Western values.

What effect will AIDS have in controlling the population in the Third World? There is a huge AIDS problem in Africa and perhaps a soon to be larger, although yet undisclosed, problem with AIDS in China.

Theodore Roosevelt preached against "race suicide" in the early 1900s, avering that it was the absolute duty of the caucasian race to reproduce itself to defend Western Civilization. That is why he was so dead set against Germany in WWI, he could see what a huge detrimental effect the war would have upon the West.

[JMJ333]

Yes, disturbing. And to accompany that, the pagan cultures who are surpassing us have shown that may of them have no problem with the persecution, torture or murder of Christians.

There is a war going on against western civilization. Look at who funds planned parenthood.
