Forums - General - China's One Child Policy is a great policy.

I think parenting licences should be given out. Dumb fucks should not be allowed to have children. If your a genius and your rich, then you can have as many as you want. 

This needs to stop: http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/woman/3485305/I-give-my-girl-8-Botox-for-pageant.html

Man kind can only benefit from stopping such atrocities from happening.



Bet with Conegamer and AussieGecko that the PS3 will have more exclusives in 2011 than the Wii or 360... or something.

I disagree with the one child policy. Introduce health care and education to the masses and populations will go down. As much as I hate to promote abortion it sure has reduced populations. Here in Canada many people are choosing not to have kids, infact the population of Canadian's born in Canada is falling rapidly and were having to bring in immigrants to sustain our population.

I think if you were to introduce abortion, birth control, condoms and religion (Yes abstinance certainly helps prevent births) then the population levels will drop.

In many developing countries the parent's need to have children to support them. Farms and buisnesses rely on children. Many families think they need to have 10 kids to secure their family line, because up until now most of them would die off early.

I think if we can modernize the world, then the population levels will begin to fall. I think this is a waining period where the population is going out of control, but this phase will end and the population levels will begin to recede on their own.

Very religious countries (which are also underdeveloped mainly) have higher birthrates than non-religious ones. Abstinence doesn't work unless you practice it, and most people don't wanna practice it, yet they do not use birth control, as their religion forbids it (funny, no?), or because they were never taught about it. Also, religion says nothing about abstinence during marriage, so you'll have married couples who pop up a kid a year (there are examples in the US). Religion is the enemy of family planning.

Which religion forbids condoms or the pill? Certainly none that I know of. Abstinance is taught and the Catholic church says that people should abstane rather then use pills and condom's. They don't forbid it infact I'm not even sure many extremist groups (Islam or other) even forbid using the pill or condom's.

Married couples popping out a kid a year is rare, regardless of faith at least here in modernized countries. I don't know of a single family that has more then 3 kids. I am a Christian and the majority of the families I know have one or two kids. I also teach sunday school and the max I've seen is three.

Also who said all married couples in the US are religious? Then as you said many so called religious people don't practice abstinance, which is infact religious law. Are those people really religious?

Religion if practiced is not the enemy of family planning. At least not the abrahamic religions.

well Europe already have an cultural one child policy, same with japan. the rate Japan is at is that by 2100 there population will halve from what they have now. 

But i agree there are too much people and an one child policy will fail so an much more drastic solution would be depopulation by extreme radical War. Yet 1 massive war will reduce population around 2-3 billion people and resources consumed will drop around 50-80% because of the war and will last around 20-30 years and so the environments will recover in areas due to halt in resource consumption. 

Or the even more extreme and use biological weapons against countires that are poor and unsustainable. 

But by the time we all die off an our grand children are alive they are completely F***ed. if nothing drastic happens 

Yes, your solution is much better and more humane.

if WW2 killed around 100 million people then WW3 being that there are now 7 times more people, 700 million WMD (x 10), 7,000,000,000 deaths, We calculates to everyone on earth which is about right. 

Well the British use to murder everyone, and the only ones to be successful in genocide yet no one cares about it. So someone doing mass genoide happens to defeat some evil at one point will become the good guys. 



Of Course That's Just My Opinion, I Could Be Wrong

Put a free condom machine on every corner, although it may end up backfiring and children will get condoms, fill them up with water and lob them at people. I don't think there is a plausible solution, limiting the amount of children is just douchebagworthy, even in UK, where the teenage mums that barely have any qualifications end up breeding worse than rabbits, producing the next generation of piglets that suckle on the teat that is the governments benefits.

Simple math in UK;

More children = Bigger House (plus) More benefits



Disconnect and self destruct, one bullet a time.

O_o

You've got to be kidding me. The Catholic Chruch definatly forbids condoms. The Pope himself says so. Sex for non-reproductive purposes is a sin.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-12053610

The Pope goes as far as to lie that Condoms don't prevent AIDS.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A29404-2005Jan22.html

Judaism condems sex for non-reproductive purposes too (Onan, and other things from the Bible), and I'm pretty sure Islam is no different.

Married couples popping out a kid a year is rare, regardless of faith at least here in modernized countries. I don't know of a single family that has more then 3 kids. I am a Christian and the majority of the families I know have one or two kids. I also teach sunday school and the max I've seen is three.

If those Christians families didn't use contraception like their religion tells them too, they'd be popping out a kid a year (unless they stopped having sex).

Also who said all married couples in the US are religious? Then as you said many so called religious people don't practice abstinance, which is infact religious law. Are those people really religious?

Yes they are. And their lack of knowledge regarding safe sex is due to their religous upbringing.

Religion if practiced is not the enemy of family planning. At least not the abrahamic religions.

I don't know about other religions, but the Abrahamic religions are the biggest enemy of safe sex, and family planning.

The one child policy was more of an Economic measure..

-Parents with one child can give it more chances than while having five children..

-  The policy was only for the han chinese  They also could have more than one child but have to pay a fine;.  The last five years probably ten million children in China are born where the parents have to pay an  10.000 $ (average) fine.  Just think about it 10 million X 10.000 $

The countries who were against the one child policy  are now beggin China for money...  

You may call it a wrong/right policy but it is hypocrit that countries who were against it are now renting money from the Chineseve government;.Money the C.government made with the one Child policy..

Anyway the Child policy is at his end in 2015-2020 it probably will be atleast a two child policy..it didn't worked that well anyway...They made a lot of money but the population still grows with 15-18 million a year..



 

The best way to control population is women's rights.  Women who live in countries where they can have meaningful careers and opportunity tend not to have 5 or 6 children like many women in conservative countries.

While I'm not against woman's rights. 

I'd say that has less to do with woman's rights, and more to do with the fact that you don't need children to survive in modern countries.  Which also happen to be the more liberal ones.  in the countries where birthrates are high... it's because there are a lot of ways for your children to die... and you need the "free" labor to survive a lot of the time.

Afterall, Italy for example has an EXTREMELY low birthrate.

It also has such a bad situation with women that women are protesting the streets over the prime minister's massive sexism... and really, it's part of his popularity.

 

I mean, these two pictures I think tell a lot when you pay attention to which poorer nations have policies to curb population acting as an unacounted for variable. (Pasted only the links so as to not break the thread.)

I mean, consider Poland.  Low birthrate... doesn't have the best women's rights record.

I mean, abortion is illegal in poland except rape, danger of the mother and deformation.  It's not exactly "your wife can't leave the house without a bigass cloth over her face" but i'd say it's probably comperable to some of the more progressive third world nations.
