World Population Day

[drakecatz]

Today, July 11, 2009 is "World Population Day." My father also passed away a year ago today, and since I see over population as the biggest problem we have on this earth, it's like he chose to leave on this day to support my cause.

In 1987 the UN Chose July 11 as the day we reached the 5 billion mark of the amount of people on the planet. We all know we are at 6 some billion now.

I have to admit it's a double edged sword. There is a woman in these forums who is pregnant and I couldn't be happier for her.

The otherside of the sword is a long held fantasy of mine that I call, "the 25 lost years." Absolutely no births would happen, we would skip a generation, allow deaths to happen naturally, (no triple bi passes for the third time, thank you very much.) and get the planet population back down to a liveable level.

Ted Turner is a great champion for over population. I thank him for his work. Jane Fonda too.

So Happy World Population Day! Any shares?

I plan to celebrate by not getting pregnant.

I'll stand in that line!

But I'm going to be somewhat reckless about it. I mean, there will be a chance that I could get pregnant. Spices up the party.

Ah, you obviously haven't met my puppy. He is a force to be reckoned with!

I've signed up to be officer in the army, so I'm doing my bit in reducing population. Drakecatz, have you considered running around punching men in the goolies? Every little helps.

It would be kind of naughty to say, "I got pregnant on over population day."

That's where the spice would come in.

Here it comes.. Are you ready for it?? ... Are you sure you want to read on? Here it goes

The state is the biggest contributor to overpopulation, the state is what makes it so much possible.

No, its much more subtle and evil than that. Its got to do with the artificial money that is used the world over. Politics have seperated us from the natural state of things. The easy money stimulates the economy in ways not naturally possible. It flows into society, constantly, creating artificial demand, which i translate to artificial economy and thus artificial population/overpopulation.

But its just a theory of mine, i could very well be wrong.

The problem is that G.O.D. is one comedic mofo! The very resources that cause the most pleasurable experience known to woman and man are the same ones we'd need to "zip-up" in order to save the planet, lol.

I crack myself up............

[WelfarestateChild]

Yes that is funny insight. But people need a reason to have sex, so i rest my cas... wait

Which brings to mind another long held fantasy I have about over population.

My staff and I travel the world with a serum for birth control that is 100% effective, and life long. Women would line up willingly to receive their shots as everyone sees how serious the problem is and would be in agreement to sacrifice creating their own families for the sake of future families. Seven generations?

Only the women who are true "Earth Mothers," (you know who they are,) would be allowed to have children. Gotta have em around. I'd miss them.

The rest of us would be working together to make the earth a better place for those to come!

I'd say that would be serious evolvement!

[WelfarestateChild]

I prefer the hands off approach where there is no state. People will rely on themselves and that should help the problem. It will also help elevate the species to a higher level.

[drakecatz]

It's all very Si Fi isn't it. For now we gotta make room and love eachother as much as we can. Nice morning thought...

It does strike me as odd in a generation that worships Darwin and the theory of evolution as the new God that we actually prevent its natural course.

[bman]

You can speed up the depopulation process through silent murder.


It's pretty acceptable to certain scientific minded people.


1. Introduce more carcinogens in food.

2. Vaccinations.

3. Poison the water to sterilize population.

4. Forced abortions.

5. War and famine.

No ones going to blame religion for over population?

Umm, do you have any idea how many people on this planet are religious? Statistically 90% of the people on this planet practice some type of religion or another. So where are you getting this whole " a generation that worships Darwin and the theory of evolution"? Do you also find it odd that in a generation that worships eating veggies and not killing animals, that we actually kill more animals then ever? Both things would be equally pointless to find odd.

PS, The whole equating it to yet another religion is just another trick out of the enormous bible thumper bag of goodies.

Heeeey... if we're going to invent the perfect birth control, why not invent it for men for once? Us women have been taking responsibility for family planning since the dawn of time. It's men's turn.

And if you think about it, men can get vasectomies pretty cheaply, saving people the complications of some hormonal or chemical injection. The question is why have so few done so? Even the men I meet who are mature and still don't want kids ever haven't done it.

I'd like to imagine a time where we at least stop having the "oops" unplanned pregnancies. If we're going to have a dream-world why not make it so nobody gets pregnant unless both partners are sober, aware, prepared, and planned for it? It breaks my heart to see so many unwanted kids raised by disinterested parents who had it because they were against emergency contraception/abortion/adoption. Kids can tell when they're not wanted.

Blame goes to religion on a social front and government on an economic/policy front.

The thing I found scary is that modern economies are dependent on constant growth including growth of the tax-base / workforce. If suddenly this generation went sterile for decades, eventually there would be a gap. And we'd end up with tons of retiring people and no work force to support them. It's interesting to see how the US government is away of the effects of pop growth on economy, and they tinker with policy and propaganda to affect it. Easy examples are the subsidies given to parents (deductions)... or the coverage or lack thereof of family planning in government plants such as Medicaid. This is the same government who pulls funds from charities who *might* give abortions or condoms to poor people, here or abroad, even if the condoms represent only a teeny tiny % of their work.

My award for irresponsible pop growth goes to Mother Theresa. She goes to a very poor part of India, where people can't even find the money to feed themselves. Then she instills in them her religious values if they want her help. One of her biggies is not only to be against abortion but to be against ANY contraception. Where is the logic in driving starving people to have more babies? What's the point in bringing more lives into the world just to see 50% of them die before their 2nd or 3rd birthday??

Mother Theresa towards the end of her life lost her faith too. So trust me, she could see the stupid just as well as you can. She was just blinded for quite awhile. Those people don't care about kids who die on their own. It's all about not sinning. Sin sin sin. Everything is about sin. Made up sin, real sin, no one knows or seems to care.
