Nope, I don't they are boring, go on till 4am and they scare the crap out of the dog.

You covered all the key plus points

[mikhael]

How can anyone with half a brain cell confuse Quakers and Calvinist Protestants?

That's rather on par with confusing Cricket with Hockey.

[an0n]

I don't give a **** about any of the groups or sports you just mentioned, so it's all the same to me.

[mikhael]

Its already been determined, an0n that you lack even half a brain cell.

Mik, you aren't Chinese by any chance, are you?

No, but I certainly favor limiting couples to one (1) child. This is a personal preference mind you, not a political preference. Though I believe this SHOULD be the way any sane, first world nation should work, I recognize that people, being fallible moronic copulating beasts, would think I was somehow trying to destroy their "happy" family units.

Politically, I believe you can have as many as you can afford--without leeching from my paycheck.

So, nope, I'm not Chinese, but if I were Tyrant of the World, you'd wish that's all I was.

Anyone remember The Fortress with Christopher Lambert? Good times.

Mik, you cherish your right to choose, from political parties to economic models to religion or lack thereof, but you do not value in some ways a far more basic right, to have kids. You're gonna tell the world what to do, but you'll be damned if you so much as hear a peep outta them, right? Not that you have or will llikely ever have the power to implement such a policy. Probably no one could, at least in the First World.

though there does seem to be a looming problem, overpopulation. though there has to be a better way than forefully limiting the number of children people are allowed to have. Some counties have naturally declining populations, this might offset it. Also, modernization and general prosperity have a lot to do with the number of kids a couple is likely to have.

Industrialization == both members of a couple working(eventually).

Physically tired couples == less sex

less sex == fewer children

So therefore:

Industrialization == few children and by proxy families with more than 2-3 children.  The population will stabilize, the planet can probably support about 15 billion.  It wouldn't be pretty and it wouldn't be comfortable.  And most governments would take some kind of action to limit growth before it got that far, but unless you render a sizeable portion of the world population sterile, births will continue to out pace death.  Especially given that Medicine and the associated methods of life extention are getting better every day.

Hmm, The World According to Chairman Mikhael. No more Uncles or Aunties, no cousins, nieces, nor nephews. Grandparents would have one grandchild, the population would dwindle by 50% or more every generation, and within 31 generations, there would be at best 3 people alive on the planet.

Now, who's for tea and crumpets?

[vyper]

I quite fancy a jam scone right now.

And Mik, dun be so bloody silly - it's a human right to have as many children as you want.

What would you do if a couple accidentally became pregnant after already having 1 child?

[01010]

I ****ing hate kids, I'd limit it to none if I had my way.

Congratulations, you've just destroyed all human civilization.

People should be allowed 2 kids, then be chemically sterilized. If they prove they can afford more and have done a good job on the first 2, they're allowed another.

And all those African ****s should be sterilized, regardless of how many kids they've got. They fail to realise that the reason they're starving is because they get enough food to feed them and one kid, then they have twelve kids to make sure that when eleven of them strave there'll be at least one left to care for them in their old age.

Welcome to Britain circa 1850. All "peasant" have of kids, until they get rich. Then, they start having 1-3 kids average, as can be seen in the First World. It ironic, yes, but thats the way societies usually evolve.

Maybe, Rictor, you could pay attention for once. Just once.

And this is a problem in what way exactly?

Seriously, I figure we could level off the population control once we're back down around 1billion people. I'm for zero population grown (with a little population shrinkage) first and foremost.
