Over Population

In my opinion we are grossly overpopulating the planet. I had a guy ask me to smoke elsewhere when I was standing at a golf tourney. He was standing there with his fat ugly wife and 5 kids. Over populating and bringing ugly kids into the world with parents of disproportionate physical statures. In my opinion we need to ban increasing population for a while. The UN should bring on a temp sterilization program. Any country that can't support itself should be banned from further populating. The countries that can sustain population should require permission to bear children. People just want to keep going until they ruin the planet and kill everyone off with a freaking plague.

And yes I did my part - I fathered one child and promptly had a vasectomy.

You can't do that in a free society of course! Personally I think 2 kids is sufficient! But I know many people like having big families.

Well we need to change this because in 10 years time we are really going to be feeling the problem we are creating. It is not that you "can't" free societies need to do their part as well.

I agree fousto.
An exponentially increasing population, combined with insatiable consumption of limited resources means our planet is doomed.

China is the only country to make an attempt to mitigate the problem by limiting new families to only one child.

You've actually failed in doing your bit. Although I disagree with you on a lot of things you seem intelligent. Whilst billy and brandy bob keep on popping kids out into a life of squalor and stupidity, you've only fathered 1 child who needs to compete against billy and brandy bob's 12 :p

Intelligent people need to start having more children and reversing the dumbening (is that a word? :p ) of the human race :p

Yes you are correct but I would implement that as stage two. Temp sterilization or perhaps permanent is some cases is needed first. Then you must apply where many issues could be addressed.

It definitely has to happen that population levels are controlled, for the simple reason that world population is increasing. However, I don't think that's going to prevent fat ugly people asking you to smoke elsewhere.

But if people aren't allowed to have kids, what are they going to do? An awful lot of our culture and society is based on people reproducing.

I feel disgusted reading this thread and am taken aback with the agreement of some.
The world is not over populated by any estimation. This sounds so vile and akin to events of the 30's and 40's.
The originator of this thread stated that he was asked to smoke elsewhere because he was obviously doing so in the company of another persons children.

This individual has one child. God, I hope this child is a perfect specimen of the human physical as the author implies by his thread that he, himself is.

Overpopulation of "ugly" people is an argument agreed upon by many in here.

Why don't you all post your photo's of yourselves and your offspring so we can determine whether they are allowed to procreate again.

We will leave intellect out of this as it is apparent that the only complaint is the ugliness of the people in question.

^ :s :?:

As a non biological father of my adoring son, my wife and I went through an excruciating process where we were asked many personal questions by government agencies to see if we were fit to adopt.

It made me wonder why all other biological parents weren't asked the same questions - and of course I shuddered with the thought of big brother imposing himself that way . . . . and on the other hand, you so many times see parents treating kids in the most disgusting way and harming them physically and psychologically from the very beginning that you wonder how on earth they had the right to be parents of those innocent children.

Thank goodness we have free will (OK some times . . . .) but it is a big issue.

And I agree with fousto, we are an overpopulated planet and we should work as a team to lower our numbers and that will happen when my signature is implemented and parents will be assured that their children will live long enough so that they don't have to over multiply. And of course I am talking of the so called 'third world countries" here, not Joe Shmoe from (put your city here) that has 5 children that are covered by welfare and etc, etc. etc,
