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..

What? It might sound insane, but so did landing on the moon and rockets being sent into space. Look how all that ended up.

I mean stuff like this is possible.

WW3: China v world, with the growing dependance on China for global product, all china has to do is stock pile on metal supplies from Australia, continue buying up communications in the US and build more and more sustainable energy resources and mass an army of 50-100 million strong. Then they can halt exports to the world. Use there massive manu power to manu weapons, Arm millions more in an civilan army. and Invade everyone. the global ecomony will be totally f, and the major part of the war will be the pacific wars where china will try to hold off global navies from supplying Australia, which China will try to take over to open up the large amounts of coal, iron and unrainum etc. While also battleing it out with India who would be also fighting agaisnt pakistan. An Russia will hold up for an duration and hold peace treaty only to mass an army with european counterparts and invade from the north, india from the South west, and coalition forces including the US will invade from the south. 

Or the other significant event of pakistan launches nukes at india, india follows, Middle east panic and try to nuke Israel, US and Israel will launch nukes at the middle east, North Korea will nuke Japan. 

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.

O_o

What? How can that be???

Got me. 

It was also Illegal in spain until July 2010.  Though people got abortions before through a legal loophole.

Apparently still illegal in ireland, unless the woman's life is at risk.

Women had equal rights under the Soviet Union. Soviet Union had plenty of female soldiers and assassins. Communism was more socially progressive than American Capitalist system. Women's roles were stuck as domestics under the American Capitalist system up until the 1960s. The Feminist revolution of the 1960s and 1970s fought for equality for women. African-Americans had to fight for civil rights and voting rights during the 1960s. Minority groups and women were not segregated under Communism. 

Capitalism is more socially conservative than Communism. Communists believes in equal rights for all people regardless of their differences of gender, ethnicity or religion. Communism does not discriminate. You are treated equally by the State so long as you work for the benefit of the State.
