Why is...(this world of ours)

[SmokinMom]

I'm worried about worrying too much... seen some 2012 videos the other day...
Earth is gonna shake off some fleas I believe. I hope she's nice to me tho..
mega-quakes, asteroids, super-volcanoes, Oh My!!
:48: :aok:

Yep, I agree.

And we all gotta die sometime.

Don't we already have a longer lifespan from people 100 yrs ago anyways?

 

[SensiStarFan]

Yup, but NOBODY wants to hear it.

Take all the major problems that face the human race or, indeed, the planet today.
Polluted oceans, polluted air, global warming, deforestation, species extinction, energy and food shortages- ect.... (You get the point)
All of these problems are caused by overpopulation. Through technology, we have been able to feed many more people than the earth could otherwise support.
We are at the top of the food chain. We have no natural predators to thin our herd. In the past, wars, plague, famine, ect. have served this function.
Think of the hundreds of millions of people that died in wars just in the last 100 years.
Now think of their children, grandchildren and great grandchildren that were never born.

So the ultimate solution has to be less people. The obvious and civilized answer has to be through birth control - globally. How about each couple has only one child. It's harsh I know, but if we don't limit the population, war, famine and plague will surely come and will certainly be less humane.
We can choose our poison, but the longer we wait the more the planet will suffer.

Earth First!!! we'll screw up the other planets later....

I have to agree with EDGY on this one. It is time we stopped looking at reproduction as an unlimited right. If I have 20 children by 20 different women and do absolutely nothing to care for those children, nothing happens to me. I can go out and create a 21st if I can find a woman willing. But if I take a life the law may put me to death. The law doesn't require me to do anything for the lives I create, only the lives I destroy. This is a contradiction because many of the lives that are created on this planet are destined for sadness and destruction simply because of the circumstances and choices made surrounding their conception. China instituted a one-child policy at the end of the 1970's and look who is the newest superpower in the world.

interesting thought, how ya gonna do that? You would have to tackle some pretty big religions in this country. Good luck with that. Good point about the super power though. I am glad I don't live in china.

That is the problem, religion. Every large religion has in it's doctrines to "go forth and multiply". You end up with people that have 20 kids that are all half starving and the parents are happy as heck thinking they "did God's work".

It just the price we have to pay to live in the style we all have come to know. Without coal we would still be in the dark. It's a dirty nasty thing but it has made our world what it is today.

Although this is true, we no longer have an excuse with alternate energy. Electric cars should be traded even for any gas using vehicle... And someone mentioned over population... Cancer kills 400,000 people a year in the US alone... This is why there is no cure; population control. Government allows disease to run rampur to control population growth. 400,000 a year, plus their children, and their children's children! We need to do an application program for reproduction... Only the most intelligent and physically prowess individuals should be able to breed, for at least two generations, and then we could evolve naturally instead of technologically... Everyone go to the woods with a tent and a spear and if you make it, it's because you're supposed too! JMO

Let's not start in on religion:rofl: I'll :rant: til no one is listening anymore!!! Mass hysteria is all organized religion is! No one wants to think that when you die that's it! And what better way to get one man to do what another man wants him to than to tell him that "the creator" told him to do so? Just food for thought not stepping on toes... Was raised baptist, but have recognized the propaganda for a while now!

How do they do that Gixx?

APPLICATION PROCESS FOR BREEDING, ONLY SMART, FAST, STRONG, AND BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE CAN REPRODUCE FROM NOW ON! This would advance man kind by centuries in just a few generations! Speed-evolution!

 

[ozzydiodude]

SSF you still have to use coal to use every type of alternate energy there is. None of them will work with out Steel and you can not make steel with out Coal.

I'm not talking about creating a master race. I am talking about limiting the number of children so that parents can give their children the best possible education and attention. Many people will say that if they have 8 kids or one, they still love their kids all the same. Well time and math do not lie. You can not give 8 kids as much attention, love, and education as you can 1 kid.

I never mentioned coal or steel...I'm confused :stoned:

There are countries that you can go to to "cure" certain types of cancers... Government runs any cure through an extensive processing with the FDA... Often times a viable cure that has side affects that are feasible, or do not carry a high enough cure ratio (according to their standards; profit based standards) will not be approved. There are medicines for aids patience that aren't available here in the states and other developed countries of the world... Simply because their impact on population growth would undoubtedly carry vast consequences.

I know... I was saying to selectively breed... Just relating it to the restriction of birth rate... One step further to ensure the future of the human race as a whole... Not any one color either (before anyone harps in on that bus) but the highest scientific minds of each race! Sounds a little Hitlerish, but I'm not killing anyone, just not allowing some genetics to continue soiling the gene pool! :rofl: just had an image of "the gene pool"... I have a buddy named Gene; he's one of these "ladies men" with the porno mustaches.... Hot tub and all! Funny looking bastard!

Soory SSF I had just answered your pm. my comment should have been dirrected at Gix and OGK.

Religion was created by a few men to control the masses. That all I say on that or Hick will ban a bunch of us for ingoring the rules

 

[Gixxerman420]

Ozzy, that was me bro! There are alloys available that can be produced at a much lower temperature than steel... And I'm not saying to eliminate our USE, just our dependency! There are warehouses of solar panels already fabricated, and wind turbines could be made from resins like fiberglass or something.. I'm sure there are other ways of doing things: the easiest way is not necessarily the best way to do things!

Religion a no-no??? Understandable, sorry all, didn't realize! Strike my previous comment about it...
