BREEDING - unsustainable and ecologically incorrect (93)
cristina:
So, high educated people necessarily have less or none kids and lower educated have more?
I think that nowadays it's a matter of having someone to take care of the kids. That determines the number of kids...tendencially.

I think that´s true to the point where people know about and have access to birth control. What when there is no such thing?
What about all those protestants, catholics, muslims crying out loud that thou shan´t interfere with God´s (or Allah´s, or Jehova´s) will? Back to the beginning: having children is NOT a personal decision anyway is it, for those people?
If you´re religious, you can´t choose. So much for "freedom of choice". And som much for all the attempts to save the planet, cause that´s not what makes the world go round. Breeding, though, is a very attractive source of money for some, I´d say, of those in the 3% already mentioned.

laura225: and who it should/would be?
Government, special committees, the Führer?Chinese realized? Take a look at population density in China. It was an emergency measure
Some might find it hard to wrap their minds around the big news in demographic circles today. It's not catastrophic population growth. It's catastrophic population shrinkage.
Yes, shrinkage. True, the total global population has not yet finished increasing. But nearly half the world's population lives in countries where the native-born are not reproducing fast enough to replace themselves. This is true in Western Europe, Eastern Europe, Russia, Japan, Canada and the United States.

Moema: Actually I´ve got a few ideas.
One, I think the Chinese realized a long time ago what I´m talking about and they took their own measures: one child per couple only. That´s sustainable; even though it may affect many people´s personal wishes, it helps the collective to be less chaotic and in turn it helps those same individuals to have better living conditions.
Two, I think it´s no use talking about/ taking environment protection, species protection, land conservation measures if people keep buying what they don´t need. Here´s the definition of status by a Brazilian brainless philosopher: "status is buying something you don´t need, with money you don´t have, to show people you don´t like something you are not".
Three, social inclusion but if I keep going on nobody else will read, let alone speak.
The Collective has never solved anything.One, I think the Chinese realized a long time ago what I´m talking about and they took their own measures: one child per couple only.

Humanity doesn't have a "Collective Brain".
Why not just propose Mass-Suicide,since Humans are such a Scourge on the Planet

and who it should/would be?
Government, special committees, the Führer?Chinese realized? Take a look at population density in China. It was an emergency measure
Yes, that´s what I meant. Emergency measure when they realized it.
[Some might find it hard to wrap their minds around the big news in demographic circles today. It's not catastrophic population growth. It's catastrophic population shrinkage.]
In many countries in Europe it is, so I´ve heard.
[But nearly half the world's population lives in countries where the native-born are not reproducing fast enough to replace themselves. This is true in Western Europe, Eastern Europe, Russia, Japan, Canada and the United States.]
"The world population is the total number of living humans on Earth at a given time. As of October 2008, the world's population is estimated to be about 6.7 billion (6,700,000,000). In line with population projections, this figure continues to grow at rates that were unprecedented before the 20th century, although the rate of growth has almost halved since its peak of 2.2% per year, which was reached in 1963. The world's population, on its current growth trajectory, is expected to reach nearly 9 billion by the year 2042." (Wikipedia heheh)
"Asia accounts for over 60% of the world population with almost 3800 million people. The People's Republic of China and India alone comprise 20% and 17% respectively. Africa follows with 840 million people, 12% of the world population. Europe's 710 million people make up 11% of the world's population. North America is home to 514 million (8%), South America to 371 million (5.3%), and Australia 21 million." (wikipeeeediaaa!!! - can anything be more common sens????!!!)

What I'd say is "unsustainable" is the above "argument." It's illogical on so many different levels that I hardly no where to begin...so I guess I won't.
