Personally, I would support an education based system, where young people are taught the value of life, and the importance of being adequate parents.
We need to educate kids into not having children while they are too young, and we need to educate people on the whole about the basic mathematics and how population numbers are damaging our species.
This is not about space, this is about the resources available to support the population in any given area.
There simply is not enough to go around, and increasingly less while we maintain a monetary system where wealth will decide who eats and who doesn't.
We have to face this issue soon. But we have to do it through education and introduction of new moral standards based on science and not religious belief.
Personally I believe we have to do the following...
1. Force restrictions on religious teaching in relation to contraception. If a religion is brainwashing people into not using contraception they need to be confronted. They are working against the society they proclaim to be helping, they have no right to educate people on sex at all.
2. Teach children the value of life. Educate them on the responsibility they have to their future children. Do they want to have kids when they are 17 and loose half of their life? Do they want their child to grow up in poverty? Do they want their child to be limited in what they can achieve, just as they themselves will be limited by having a child so young?
3. Force fathers to be responsible for their children. No options to just vanish. If a man has a child they are responsible for that life by law, and there should be no opportunities to hide or escape from that responsibility.
4. Probably one of the most important things we could do is properly educate teenagers on every aspect of sex, honestly and thoroughly. No more of this political crap about teaching kids about gay relationships, masturbation, contraception... It exists, get over it already! If a parent disagrees then they need to remove their children from state education entirely. You cannot have it both ways, you cannot raise ignorant children in a world where such ignorance is no longer acceptable. To do so is an injustice to your child.
If you want a state to educate your child in every other respect, you have to accept that teaching about this subject should be a part of that education, with or without your input or inclusion of your personal beliefs.
That's just my opinion, I'm positively certain others will disagree.
In order for a culture to maintain itself, it has to have a birth rate of 2.1%. Anything less then that means the culture is in decline.
Or perhaps, I should re-phrase that - instead of "culture", which is constantly changing and shifting, let us state that in order for a people group to survive every couple must have two or more children. If they don't, then when they die, their group shrinks - unless someone else picks up the slack.
This fact is all the more interesting when you realize that most of Europe and North America has a birth rate under 2.1%. Take the good old USA - according to the CIA World Factbook, the USA has a birth rate of 1.3% (2009 est).
France is at 1.3%; UK - 1.1%; Canada - 1.0%; Germany - 0.8%; Switzerland - 0.9%; Greece - 0.9%
Just for comparison sake, here are a couple of other countries: Georgia - 1.0%; China - 1.4%; Paraguay - 2.8%; Niger - 5.2%; Cambodia - 2.5%; Hong Kong - 0.7%
In fact, if you look at the birth rates for all the countries in the world, you will notice that 57% or 129 of the 224 countries are below the 2.1% benchmark. Of the top 50 countries with the highest birth rates, the majority are located on the continent of Africa.
The Death of Western Culture: Low Birth Rates and Changing Demographics
A small California biotech company, Epicyte, in 2001 announced the development of genetically engineered corn which contained a spermicide which made the semen of men who ate it sterile. At the time Epicyte had a joint venture agreement to spread its technology with DuPont and Syngenta, two of the sponsors of the Svalbard Doomsday Seed Vault. Epicyte was since acquired by a North Carolina biotech company.
Astonishing to learn was that Epicyte had developed its spermicidal GMO corn with research funds from the US Department of Agriculture, the same USDA which, despite worldwide opposition, continued to finance the development of Terminator technology, now held by Monsanto. Covert Sterilization...
You may be right and I may be delusional. I still believe that under the right circumstances, people are not hopeless fools and are able to self regulate..
Lack Of Women Threatens China's Long Term Stability
by Yan Tai
Hong Kong (UPI) Mar 09, 2004
A serious shortage of women is looming in China, threatening family and social stability in the world's most populous country. Official statistics show that in 2002, for every 100 newborn girls, there were 117 boys born. If this trend continues, China will have up to 40 million more men than women by 2020.

Selfish, and maybe arrogant and inhuman?
I think you are talking to yourself anyway. ATS seems to be a lousy place to espouse logic and reason in the hopes of changing hearts and minds - and more so by the day. You are always going to be either preaching to the choir or talking at those willfully apposed to your point of view.
Has anyone on ATS ever actually convinced anyone of anything? Or at least gotten someone to attempt to see things from another point of view?
I really wonder how many ppl on ATS are working for the NWO
with posts like this ?
