is that all? hmmm...politics been forgotten ever since the victory of paqciao. they're even planning in making him a hero of our country. even if i'm a fan of his, i stil dont think he's fit enough to be a hero. it'll probably boost his ego. i prefer making him in his own humble way.

it's really hard here. there are so many beggars and poor people everywhere you turn. food is precious for them and would do anything to get some, thats why stealing here is a profession.

Tax money is already being squandered on fantastic new toys for the defence force, on new roads instead of public transport, on generous payouts to retired ministers. Now they tell me its also going to be used providing for my mum and dad. Jesus Christ... Why dont we just shovel the money into a furnace? I cant think of a worse way to spend money.
I think they should make death the only condition upon which a person can leave the work force. muahahahahaha!

Population delcline is a good thing... sorta but it's often misinterpreted because people see it and think oh good there's less people around, more natual recsources for me. But the thing is that as population growth rates go down energy usage percapita goes up. and by energy i mean food, gas, oil, electricity, everything. So acutally the total amount of stuff that humanity is demanding of the world is getting bigger and bigger. Population would have of be ridiculously small for the world to be sustained at the US standard of living for everyone

We can't live forever. And overpopulation is just as bad for our enviroment as pollution. Think about it, if poplulation kept going up that would cause a problem with our natural resources.

I think it's inevitable. The world can only sustain so much. There is limited space for both living and growing food. Once the land is over populated, that leaves room for diseases to spread along with insufficient supplies to meet the demands of the population. Even if those things don't wipe us out, there are always greedy people that would kill others to achieve or attain something. This is why there were two world wars.

If the ppl are dying then lets make some more babies. Remember over poulation is not just having too many ppl but too many ppl relative to resources. Besides there are still places that a underpopulated Smile

youre joking. it should be the other way round: feed the poor to the rich! now thats an idea, albeit a bad one. Theres plenty of cows and pigs and chickens and shit so rich people neednt go around eating the poor.

instead of buying small islands in the Pacific like Taiwan and Tasmania, the rich should be forced to fight for them using their own personal armies made up of...tah dah! > the homeless, the destitute and the senile!

it'll be a grand bloodsport which takes the scum and the filth off our streets, culls the population, entertains, rakes in money for the tv networks which have coverage rights. Makes rich people richer and happier and poor/old people deader and unhappier (which wont matter cause theyre dead).

you could probably ship them off the Iraq, Iran, N Korea, China and any other country that needs to be invaded.

wow really a decline?
i thought there was a rising population due to
india and all other countries.

i dont think anything or much of it other than the fact that its
sad the working class (mainly us) will have to support a larger
aging population than the rest. i feel sorry for china though,
although the one child policy really helps supress the births that
are occuring in china their kids are gonna suffer from trying to
support such an insanely large population.

i feel sorry for the guys in China. because of the one child policy the male to female ratio of younger generations is horrendous ugh! i cant even stand to look at it Sad

poor bastards

Many rich countries with high standard of living are the ones that are experiencing low population growth.
Third world countries on the other hand are experiencing high birth rate and high death rate.

Low population growth would only be a worry for the neoclassical economists that only cares about consumerism.

The world population is still increasing steadily, right now at 6.5 billion, it's expected to reach an equilibrium around 10 billion in 50 years from now. That is pretty frightening in my opinion. That's like dumping another whole earth human population into the existing earth.

yeah and all the first world counties'
main increase in population is immigration such
as canada, but the thing about is we use the point
system that only takes in educated working people
and even if they get here their degrees is as good as
nothing. not to mention taking in the middle aged
will also add to the older population.

the poor don't have work so they got nothing else to do but make babies... Razz

as for the rich countries they are so busy with being rich they can't have time or the mindset to have babies...

but still the population is declining and overall i think its good... after the baby boomers die out then i guess the load of taking care of their dying asses will be gone and the younger generation can take it easy for a moment... until another baby boom happens in this era...
