That's quite inextricably dumb. No offense, homey. It is just seriously ridiculous. People are animals. Get over it.

Well, I would say that if we were facing imminent demise and they did so anyway, they are both.
Quote:In some cases having a ton of kids seems pretty damned smart, and I bet they're decent people even though they had a ton of kids.
I disagree with the former. It is either to have a workforce in a farm or to collect welfare. I honestly can't think of one other reason. As for the latter, sure, but we're talking about being on the brink of a population stimulated genocide. They aren't decent if they know they are killing everyone, including their offspring.
Quote:Tut tut, as of the last census we here in the US have a child per household on average. Telling them they can;t have one is telling the average they can't have any. For something like this to work it has to have an effect on the averages. If we already have an average of one or two kids, why do we need population control?
You can't use averages in this scenario. An average of one child means tons are having none and a bunch are having a bunch. Cut down on the bunch and presto! Also, I never said we need population control right now. We will when octo's kids have octo kids of their own and so on.
Quote:All the octomoms in this country weren't able to dent our very low child per household number.
Then how do you account for the constant rise in our population? Apparently, someone somewhere is having thirty kids a go and isn't telling you.
Quote:It's about all of us, not just a couple of people with 8 kids right? Look, Octomoms in the states are not the ones leading to this big overpopulation problem. I'm going to keep saying this until it really sinks in for everyone (not really directed at you Shell, you just presented me the opportunity).
Yeah, they are. It certainly isn't me, or the lady in Ethiopia with one half-dead kid, or the lady in China with one male kid.
Quote:Hehehe, I hope alot for those people myself. Not the least of which is the hope that a significant portion of them are my direct descendants..and preferably a few dozen generations removed from dear old Great great - - - Grandad.lol.
Well, if you think that killing off everyone Malthusian style is cool, what's the problem with population control? Did I miss your point?
P.S. Don't forget the hordes of genetic mutants. It's all about the highly feasible mutants.
