Population

[cowboydoc]

Larry,
I agree with you on that one and I think that it irresponsible for any religion to teach the more kids the better in todays society. What I am talking about is not to forget the earth and full speed ahead. What I am talking about are regulations that do no more good than fuel the corporate pockets or cost hard working people their way of life when their way of life does nothing to adversely affect the environment. There are environmentalists and then there are environmentalist wackos. Why does every other state in the northwest suffer because of So. Cals problems? Why when we already have all the overcrowding are we still letting immigrants in at an all time high? Big govt. and big business.

You're not going to get any flames from me. Think you hit the nail on the head. What's really sad is mankind's inability to control over-population. We have the knowledge and technology but not the will. Suspect that in the not too distant future Mother Earth will be making an "adjustment" in our numbers if we fail to do it ourselves first. Pay me now or pay me later.

Interesting that you posted your message in a tractor forum since the tractor has made it possible to produce enough food to feed (create) 6 billion people. However, that buffet will be closed in about 40 years when the oil runs out. Hmmm wonder if somebody will invent a solar powered tractor? Some food for thought (no pun intended).

Mother nature excepts natural death.
Mother nature doesn't except unnatural death.
Just look what acid rain has done to the trees.

It has often come up in discussion amongst my friends (population), everyone seems to say I am wrong but they can't tell me why. Every day I see kids (either by age or social habit) with babies, like they are playing house. These are people who have never set foot in a church but it is against there religion and belief to have an abortion. If most of these people had pets we would see then on the news because of their neglect. It is bad enough these people are not mentaly prepared to have child but most of the time they are not financialy prepared putting the burden on us thru our taxes. My wife and I planned for a great deal of time and set goals both financial and mental wellbeing before we even tried to have child. I hope things change in the future because I do not like what I see now. The value and responsibilty of family life is not looked upon in the same mannner it used to. People used to get married if they where dating and got pregnant, giving the child the love it needs. Now it is just a trophy, people are proud of there behavior and there lack of responsibility. (sorry, I probably offended some people)

Willington,
No offense here, truth hurts is only reason people would get mad over that statement.

ditto to all the previous posts. I find it amusing that we need a license to drive a car but nothing to have a child. I think eventually we will have to make some tough choices in this country but the liberals will push that off as long as possible. It basically comes down to responsibility. Responsible people don't take on burdens they can't take care of themselves (ie children). Irresponsible people really don't care what the ramifications of their actions are because the responsible people will always bail them out. Sorry I couldn't send any flames your way Larry!

Who was it that wrote something about knowing God once said, in the Bible, to go forth and multiply, but you have to consider how many people there were in the world at that time. He said he suspected that God would now say, "Enough already." I agree./w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif
