Far from the Myth of 'Overpopulation'

[2aguy]

Fretting about overpopulation is the ultimate in elitism.

"Far too many of YOU... just the right amount of ME."

Yep.....funny how the left looks at brown and black people when they start talking about the world being over populated..............

 

[iamwhatiseem]

....But then there came college. And with that came liberal professors openly expressing .....

No one is obligated to attend college. Professors have heavily been silly-ass liberals since the 60s. By the time you get to college, if you choose to go, you should know your own mind well enough to weather the storm of a few courses taught by some far left asshole.

Well you are obligated if you want to devote yourself to providing healthcare.
Both my kids did. They are both CORE RTs, my son specializes in NICU respiratory at one of the nations leading childrens hospitals.
Ok... done bragging ....
Anyway... back to the point, I don't know how old you are, I am 55... and there is zero doubt in my mind that American loyalty is at an all time low. The 1960s would be the closest, but even then it was NOT anti-Americanism, but anti-establishment. People still loved and devoted to their country, but not it's leaders and establishment as a whole.
Today, in large circles in our society of young people where patriotism is literally taboo. And you may even experience violence against you for it.

Really? I don't see veterans returning from tours of duty abroad being spat upon today, do you? I don't see people screaming "baby killer!" in their faces (without a trace of irony, I might add).

Some people still insist on fomenting pointless panic over the idea of global 'overpopulation.' There is no such thing, never has been any such thing, and the world is trending strongly in the other direction (as I've been saying for years). Global fertility rates are converging around 1.7 children per woman of childbearing age. Remember, the 'break even' point for fertility is 2.1 children per. In South Korea, the population decline is so dramatic several sources calculate that if current trends remain unchanged, South Koreans will go extinct by 2750.

We have to start thinking creatively about boosting, or at least maintaining population levels, or plan with open eyes what a world with far fewer people might look like.

South Korea’s population paradox

With a rapidly ageing population, low birth rates and young people who are increasingly shunning marriage, South Korea is in a population conundrum.

Why do we have to boost population levels?

Why do we even have to maintain a population of 7 billion?

Inviting more highly talented and skilled workers from overseas will be crucial to raising Japan's productivity in the future.

.....

Reality doesn't hit any less hard just because this one or that one "buys it."

It's conjecture.

What makes the author's version of reality credible?

Look into it further if you want. You'll only find more of the same. Economics is economics.

Lower population, lower demand for products, an equilibrium will be reached.

it doesn't really matter if a global population of 5 billion consumes less than a global population of 7 billion in fact it's to be expected. But some economist calls that a "less productive" society.

You didn't read the links all the way through, did you?

I read all the links you posted.

Just because i disagree with you doesn't mean I didn't read them.

Go find the nearest university and argue with some professors of economics then.

No need.
....

Maybe take a course while you're there.

Ah yes I don't agree with you therefore I am ignorant.

Great argument

The entire GOP base has to be ignorant to believe their ridiculous propaganda about phony scandals and conspiracies with no evidence behind them, just high School grad excokehead DJs and scumbag pundits repeating the same bologna endlessly. They seem to be unable to watch real journalists and what law enforcement have to say. Poor america. Rupert Murdoch is a total scumbag who's not allowed to be on tv anywhere else in the world.

Really? I don't see veterans returning from tours of duty abroad being spat upon today, do you? I don't see people screaming "baby killer!" in their faces (without a trace of irony, I might add).

The Vietnam war was a very different war.
#1 - we lost. WW I and WW II vets had a feeling of "you guys failed"... not knowing yet just how terrible the military leadership was... so they tended to blame these "kids" who wasn't tough enough.
Young people, rightfully so, had problems with the war - and again the brunt of their opinions were errantly, and tragically manifested on the returning soldiers.
So there, I have no argument. In that sense you are correct... anti military sentiment among the young was even worse than now. But it didn't last. In my opinion, I think the current opinions of our young is going to be long term, and may never return unless there is some massive thing that happens. Much bigger than 9/11.
We have a serious problem in this country of a lack of patriotism and loyalty to the country they were born in. It's okay for all other countrie sin the world to be proud of their heritage... but not us. We are not suppose to show pride.
Self hating morons.

Yes there is a problem with jingoistic right wingers who talk about patriotism yet hate 90% of our country and disrespect all our institutions and public servants when they disagree with right-wing ridiculous propaganda..... Congratulations your idiocy and the orange clown have made of us the laughing stock and horror of the world and the leader in not following sane covid regulations. The UK and the US lead the world covid screw ups and are the only people who don't know the difference between socialism and communism. The UK got lucky right after world war II with healthcare etc.

Of course it does.

There are too many goddamn people in the world and everyone who wants birth control should get it for free.

The entire GOP base has to be ignorant to believe their ridiculous propaganda about phony scandals and conspiracies with no evidence behind them, just high School grad excokehead DJs and scumbag pundits repeating the same bologna endlessly. They seem to be unable to watch real journalists and what law enforcement have to say. Poor america. Rupert Murdoch is a total scumbag who's not allowed to be on tv anywhere else in the world.

And the drivel you just posted has absolutely nothing to do with the topic

Of course it does. The GOP base has no clue what is going on in the world they are brainwashed with misinformation and Miss 90% of the news, all the news they wouldn't like lol. in this case they don't know that the federal government has continued for decades to not allow any of our foreign services to do anything about birth control around the world and in the United states. There are too many goddamn people in the world and everyone who wants birth control should get it for free.

who mentioned the GOP?

I certainly didn't

Also known around the world by journalists and law enforcement as the problem. They will not allow birth control to be available in the United States or in the rest of the world.

Birth control is widely available in the United States and the rest of the developed world

Fertility rates are falling all around the world anyway.

and more so in affluent countries.

Gee i guess when women aren't relegated to the home they decide not to have as many kids

I guess liberals 'approve' of some choices for women (but not for female babies), but not others. The hypocrisy abounds.

 

[Blues Man]

Some people still insist on fomenting pointless panic over the idea of global 'overpopulation.' There is no such thing, never has been any such thing, and the world is trending strongly in the other direction (as I've been saying for years). Global fertility rates are converging around 1.7 children per woman of childbearing age. Remember, the 'break even' point for fertility is 2.1 children per. In South Korea, the population decline is so dramatic several sources calculate that if current trends remain unchanged, South Koreans will go extinct by 2750.

We have to start thinking creatively about boosting, or at least maintaining population levels, or plan with open eyes what a world with far fewer people might look like.

South Korea’s population paradox

With a rapidly ageing population, low birth rates and young people who are increasingly shunning marriage, South Korea is in a population conundrum.

Why do we have to boost population levels?

Why do we even have to maintain a population of 7 billion?

Will population decline create a richer society?

Inviting more highly talented and skilled workers from overseas will be crucial to raising Japan's productivity in the future.

Reality doesn't hit any less hard just because this one or that one "buys it."

It's conjecture.

What makes the author's version of reality credible?

Look into it further if you want. You'll only find more of the same. Economics is economics.

Lower population, lower demand for products, an equilibrium will be reached.

it doesn't really matter if a global population of 5 billion consumes less than a global population of 7 billion in fact it's to be expected. But some economist calls that a "less productive" society.

You didn't read the links all the way through, did you?

I read all the links you posted.

Just because i disagree with you doesn't mean I didn't read them.

Go find the nearest university and argue with some professors of economics then.

No need.
