One child policy.

[Punk Hazard]

I'm a foreigner.

Anyways I believe that we should all embrace it, if we keep ****ing like rabbits and making babies we're gonna get got.

I can see mandatory vasectomies becoming a thing one day/

 

[spckoroma]

I believe war will balance the whole populations thing out so I don't agree with the 1 child thing

 

[~Hebi Terumi~]

My dad once suggested that doctors secretly sterilize women after their second child. At first I kind of argued with him, but now I sort of agree. 1 child would be enough for me, if I even decide to have any.

Does the base think that every country should do this?

no but you should have to take an I.Q test before having a baby. in the usa if a woman has four kids the governments will give her 800 in cash,700 in food stamps, and pay 90 of your rent every month . this is the main reason why most americans are dumb

I.Q. tests are not accurate in calculating mental abilities.

Most Americans aren't dumb, that just how your country/ media portrays us. If you actually took the time to visit the United States, you would realize the truth.

Don't make accusations if you can't back them up.

That's not even true now. Maybe individually, but looking at the big picture, even countries with 90+ percentile educations are contributing to over-population. We're too far down the line to simply promote better education. The world's resources won't last another 20 years at this rate.

This is just silly talk.

The world is nowhere near overpopulated. Slow changes in agricultural practices and power production processes has put considerable strain on the available resources in some regions - but it's nothing that cannot be solved by nuclear power and hydroponics.

The real factors that will start affecting us is oil used for transportation. We really do need to come up with more realistic solutions for transportation (current hybrid and electric concepts are cute, but horribly inadequate to address the world's need for power in transportation). There will probably be a crunch in a decade or two regarding that. Depending upon how paranoid governments and the stupid people filling those offices get...

The demand for oil and its byproducts of refinement will be very high, regardless of what is done regarding transportation. The real reason why transportation has to be addressed is because what we rely on for our modern existence comes from locations distributed across millions of square miles.

Even if just for lubricants - there will always be a demand and use of/for oil. The real issue is when food costs start skyrocketing because of transportation costs. There's still plenty of oil for another hundred years.

Anyway - if you want to control the human population, re-introduce small pox.

It was the perfect population control for humans. It's an endemic virus that survives naturally only within humans (you can get it to infect some primates if you administer them insane exposures that do not exist naturally) and has a roughly 30% case fatality rate on the whole. Regions without proper medical systems and economies are most adversely affected by smallpox.

The reason we have the illusion of overpopulation is because of smallpox. People who would have died and not survived to reproduce now do so, and have a few kids before they die. It's a cycle of self-perpetuating poverty that exists at a standard so radically below organized society yet still survives off the scraps of that society.

That's why we have the illusion of overpopulation.

Reintroduce smallpox to its natural environment and you fix the problem.

Of course - you'd collapse society, today. There aren't enough vaccines and major infrastructure would break down. Once the power goes off and the trucks stop delivering supplies (most crucially oil and coal) - it's game over. Convincing people to go to work in the face of a virus with nearly 100% infection rates and 30% case fatality rates (likely worse after the first two weeks as medical supplies and food stores become strained) ... you can see where that might be a bit much to expect.

So, there are three outcomes we can choose from.

Re-introduce small-pox and hope our grandchildren can understand why as they pick through the rubble of our industrial progress (perhaps to reclaim some of it and create an even more advanced existence from a much more varied and solid technological platform).

Create government systems to feed the rapidly expanding populations of the poor. This ultimately becomes unsustainable as the rate of reproduction of these groups will rapidly exceed that of those who are being taxed. Despite the intent of the program - not enough people leave the 'safety' of the programs and continue to produce offspring dependent upon the program. Hyper-inflation ensues and our grandchildren will be picking through the rubble of our society.

Not feed the starving people. Millions will die due to lack of basic needs - but current society will be able to continue for a considerably longer period of time. We have merely eliminated smallpox as a selective force and have allowed it to default to that of exposure.

Ah, the path to hell is lined with good intentions.

Most Americans aren't dumb, indeed. They know how to cheat the system, or more like the system itself doesn't care if people are abusing it.

One child policy? Nah. But I do think something needs to be more mandated to prevent a child from having a child, as that is becoming more of an issue.

With the abortion issue as hot of a topic as it is in this country, it would be absolutely hilarious to see the implementation of a "one child" policy for welfare recipients (like they did have in China, for a while... for everyone). When the baby crowns, jam a needle in its head and scramble its brains.

Just wrap the 'one child' policy into a bill that expands welfare benefits and raises taxes on the top 5% of wage earners and corporations, along with improving education funding.

 

[Sherlock.]

Obviously not.

China only does it because it's so overpopulated. Not sure if India does it.

India doesn't have that rule.... They tried to implement it in the past but the people were strongly against it....

 

[abhiken]

nope,not every country.

they calculate a ratio. its between no of people died in certain period and number of people who were born in that period.

and by this,they can conclude,whether your countries population graph is stable or not.
as far as i know,most European countries are stable in this matter.
so they dont need this rule.

but you cannot say anything about the future.
due to development in medical field,possibilities of deaths have been reduced.

i strongly feel that countries like china and indie must adopt this rule.
i think china has implemented it already
