No, I am saying that sad and lonely people create youtube videos as a way to deal with the randomness of life.

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.

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.
And yet, you post a ton of crap, but don't reply to my main point, my main reply.

I'd suspect they would be buying up whatever land they could get so they could grow their own food.

Oh, if you accept a huge drop in lifestyle and an increased mortality rate, lots of people have survived in the desert. Too bad we don't know how. And too bad that it requires huge amounts of desert per person.

Nature will balance out the ecosystem. Quite frankly I don't give a damn if people starve, as long as they stay the hell out of my life they will starve in peace.

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.

Believe me, I am in no way alone. I'm with tens of millions of people here in America, and more around the world. I'm no leader, I am just a messenger.

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.

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.
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.

What is wrong with that? Although a generalisation, 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.

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.

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?

wolfbinary wrote:
What methods of population control are ethical?
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.
wolfbinary wrote:
How do you motivate people to control their breeding
The same way we motivate people to breed a lot now. Money.
wolfbinary wrote:
Who gets to decide the number of people there should be?
That number is pretty much known. Less then we have now, which is achieved through one child per couple.

What role does human rights play into it?
Do you mean the 'right' of a person to have 10 kids on welfare, or the right of living humans today to live in a world that can sustain them ?

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.

Only people who live in areas so small that they can support themselves ( New Zealand is one, I don't even know if Australia is, but I am sure Tasmania is ), stand a chance. Those people from New York will be knocking on your door with guns.

No, I don't mean that. Taxes exist as they do today. Every couple has the right to one child. If I want two kids, I need to pay some couple for their right to one child. This will favour the rich having more children, BUT it will create a chance for a one off big cash influx into the lives of every poor couple. One could even sell it early and buy another one later, when on their feet. But, if you don't buy the right, and still breed, then there's a prohibitive tax, which exists to stop people from ignoring the law and just having kids. Those children are also not allowed access to government health care ( in civilised countries ), or education, which would cause some problems, but the penalty needs to be enough to keep people within the system,

Not at all. I do think the reverse is true now, people who have no money, because they refuse to ever work, are the ones being valued, in terms of their genes. They are the ones being motivated to breed.

Well, I think I made my position clear. You can have all the sex you want. When you have kids into a world that is already overpopulated, your rights and my rights are on a collision course.

Two is too many. The population needs to drop, not stabilise.

That much is true. I think a top cap that stops people like that from buying the right to have 20 kids is not a bad idea. The whole point tho, is not to say that rich == worthwhile or poor == useless. Fact is, money is the only possible motivator in a world where we would never accept forced abortions or forced sterilisations. Given these facts, why would people not just ignore any such law, if it had no teeth. Money is the only way to give it teeth.
wolfbinary wrote:

True. It has a LOT to do with the sort of people who live their lives on welfare and have 9 kids so their payments go up. Those are the people who are making the problem worse, not the working poor, who tend to have less kids, because they can't afford them.
wolfbinary wrote:

Welfare slaves who never work a day, and who pertain to the issue at hand, because they breed for money. The working poor would have the right to one child, and I would propose that any adoption that occurs, should favor giving poor people who work a chance at having more than one. Hell, if there's no money in it, the welfare slaves are unlikely to want to adopt, as it would cost them money, rather than provide it.

Unless they start to starve. Then you don't care, so long as they somehow magically decided to die quietly and leave you alone.
