The answer is not to make more people and put them on Mars. The answer, is to stop making more people. Mandatory vasectomies across the globe!!! Or some sort of chemical spray that leaves us all infertile....

My proposals are peaceful, and don't involve .... certain religious / ethnic groups. Or surgery with no anesthesia...Eek! How come people react negatively when I start talking about population control? We're only mammals after all.

Population is one of those things my universal remote was never good at controlling. I want a refund.

You make it sound so horrible. I'd rather live in a world where we absolutely cherish our new born babies.... See it as a privilege to reproduce.... Instead of "Oh I popped out 8 babies and guess what? I'm an American citizen with no job, so for every baby I have, I get a nice pay check every month. My baby daddy is gonna re-up on crack with that welfare check, and we gettin an Escalade. Where my food stamps at?? I want a bag of chips and some soda." --- All the while you have Ethiopian kids that simply don't have food or clean water to survive.

Every 10 years under my population control plan, we would allow REGISTERED in vitro fertilization. (In vitro, due to what ever miracle we can come up with, to stop sex from resulting in a new life. And don't say condoms - Nobody Likes Condoms.)

Interesting. Cannibalism will definitely grow in popularity when we run out of.... well, other sources of food. I hear people taste like pork.

what credentials do you have to back up the effectiveness of your 'plan'?

dude that welfare-queen BS is hella bunk and rooted in really classist and racist assumptions. i'm not calling you a racist but recognize that stereotype is something that rich white guys (sup reagan) made up to make you hate people without easy access to effective birth control, comprehensive family planning or sex education. the whole point of it is to demonize people on welfare and make you think less of them as human beings with real problems that we can actually do something about, unlike forcing sterilization on a population that you don't find sympathy for. that and it does double duty to hide the fact that the government provides more tax breaks to corporations and wastes billions of dollars on subpar contract work, and the amount of money spent on those activities absolutely dwarfs the amount of money we spend on welfare programs.

check the assumptions you make about a population before deciding that you get to judge who gets to have babies and who doesnt. there are actual, real, effective, temporary and reversible male birth control methods coming out (ryzex!!) that cause far less harm to everybody involved than even traditional hormonal birth control commonly prescribed to women.

though i'd say your premise easily fits the thread title -- ridiculous!  :))

I know people who don't deserve the government help they receive. Credentials? I did mention that it would take a miracle to do exactly what it is I'm proposing.

People that have access to stuff like this "ryzex?" you mentioned? Fine - but what about third world countries? Or people who have a baby every 9 months, because "they love Jesus." Those are the countries / religious groups (do I need to name names?) that will eventually cause competition between fellow human beings to drastically lower the standard of living, world-wide.

Yes it is definitely a far fetched idea. No the world is not yet ready for it. Sure there are birth controls available. But mark my words, one of our future generations WILL see a drop in population. Apparently, it will be very violent because people are too proud and think they are so damn entitled.

entitled to have children? damn dude you are playing with some weird fire here.

are you a scientist or professional in the field of population study and reproductive statistics or are you just speculating based on classist/racist myths perpetuated by conservative lawmakers?

i'm not saying population growth is not an issue that should be seriously studied and considered (though there are some who say that overpopulation is vastly overblown as a pressing issue), but shooting people with no-baby darts will never be the answer.

Hey first of all, peace. Peace and happiness.

^ The above is a google search for "population capacity of earth" --- it's simple logic. You don't need to be a professor to see my point. You keep mentioning that I think I get to decide who does and doesn't have babies --- Everybody gets to have a baby. Once every 10 to 20 years.

you have a separate thread for debates. wouldn't you mind to move your current conversation there?
(...)Whereas back then I wrote about the tyranny of the majority, today I'd combine that with the tyranny of the minorities. These days, you have to be careful of both. They both want to control you. The first group, by making you do the same thing over and over again. The second group is indicated by the letters I get from the Vassar girls who want me to put more women's lib in The Martian Chronicles, or from blacks who want more black people in Dandelion Wine.
I say to both bunches, Whether you're a majority or minority, bug off! To hell with anybody who wants to tell me what to write. Their society breaks down into subsections of minorities who then, in effect, burn books by banning them. All this political correctness that's rampant on campuses is b.s.

How old are you guys..?? most of these things are all very affordable assuming you have a basic Job in the United States.



.....Assuming no serious Obama fallout....  :D

I live in Singapore, the small area of hell where you have to fork out 90k to buy a certificate which entitles you to even own a car......before you even buy a car........ :'(

Essentially a piece of paper which is worth 90k........(and its per car you own btw)

Woot?! Could you explain me that better? I am planning to move to Singapore and I cannot live without car!

A few bucks is a preposterous price to pay for something which has a true value of maybe 15 cents. Pretty much any food is better made by yourself as long as you know how anyway. I don't have any coffee shops near me anyway. Not to mention.... leaving the house.... mrehhhh
