    Whenever there is a hurricane that hits the east coast, we in the Midwest always get the leftovers. So you must be somehow mistaken.

        Yeah, it got a lot of coverage last week. An expedition from some institute or college in California is sending a ship out to study it - that was the reason for the publicity. I can't remember who it is that's behind the expedition.

              Its too much work to maintain several conversations at once with someone who is going to disagree with me no matter what I say about anything. Besides, I have more entertaining things to do.

                Every video a link to is sold as a real factual documentary. Its kind of a copyright issue for them to be on youtube, but that doesn't make the documentary any less valid.

                        As long as they are not you eh? If ordinary people don't matter to you, why do you keep banging on with your conspiracy theories? After all, if you are right (a big if) then it will also affect those people you don't give a damn for. So why are you bothering?

                            You have already stood up and (in a manner of speak) said "I am Spartacus". The problem is, nobody else is standing up with you, so you are alone and thus are making yourself an easy target, and perhaps unintentionally continuing to make yourself look foolish.

                                Sorry to inform you but the reason why your not a dispoable slave is that you are actually less important than that, you are actually so insignicant in the way of things that if your beliefs in these stupid schemes were true you would still be safe as you would not be worth the effort

                                Go away and research the subject, analyze the options for and against, understand the problem and them come back when you agree with me.

                                  I was driving around in my big honk'n Ford 150, when I saw a woman take one of those plastic grocery bags and pick up shiet behind her poodle. She tied it up and threw it in the trash, I now know what we must do to clean up the plastic bag flotilla in the Pacific. But the poodle won't like it.

                                      I was just saying a cap on the total number of children you could have regardless of social class or financial class. In other words, you can have 2 kids and only 2 no matter what. Can't have kids then adopt.

Taxes that make it easier for some to have more of something than others only benefits the rich or better off. What is wrong with that? Although a generalization, it is the case that those with money are better educated and have the work ethic, it is these people we want to breed, not the morons and feckless. You say it is unfair, but is it fair that I work hard to find money taken from me to be given to lazy arsed uneducated parasites who have been given 11 years of free schooling only to come out unable to read and write but who can breed and introduce another generation of parasites to follow them.

                                      It may be a generalization, but Paris Hilton and Britney Spears, etc are what comes to mind. There are plenty of rich kids born with silver spoons in their mouths who aren't genetically the best. My question then becomes who or how does the best get decided? If you don't mind being told you can't breed. Are we to now get into breeding humans as a society? Even well breed dogs have genetic issues. Trading one thing for another. Work ethic doesn't have anything to do with education or having lots of money. Try slaughtering cows or watching an episode of Dirty Jobs with Mike Rowe. I don't think they have any problem with working hard. What is your correlation between working and population control?

                                        Removing financial incentives for the poor having more kids, which we pay for. By accepting that every child has a cost to society and the earth, and thus giving people the right to one child for free, a right they can sell and that others need to buy, to have more than one. Enforcing this by removal of rights in society, and not by force, for example, no right to free education, or services, or any sort of government handout, and an increase in taxes, if more than one is had without following the overall scheme.

                                        The same way we motivate people to breed a lot now. Money.

                                        That number is pretty much known. Less then we have now, which is achieved through one child per couple.

                                        Not everyone is motivated by money. Then passing a tiered child tax rather than credit would work for you? 1 child = no tax 2 child = some tax, etc? So by this method the poor would be breed out of existence. Is this not class warfare? You're using the ability of someone to make money as the litmus test of their worth as a human being. Is George Bush Jr. worth more than you?

                                        I mean the right of society forcefully telling other people what they can and can't do with their bodies in one of the most intimate ways.

                                          And so, you waste your time on ephemera, but cannot discuss the core point ? You're self deluded.
