Look at this guy though, constantly worried about geographic climate and what libertarians think - all while Muslims rape people in Africa.
You made it about oppression and liberty it strayed from mere commentary the moment you did that. Oppression and liberty aren't words to be taken lightly

So if something's less egregious than rape we can't talk about it?

You are misrepresenting the situation. It is not the school's policy to make students change their natural hair color. This is simply a dispute over whether the girl already dyed her hair a lighter color, or not.

It's a good thing liberals consider a man glancing in a woman's direction as rape or else we would run out of threads real fast around here.

You seem to have difficulty with this concept.

If a couple has left than two kids the two people that make up a couple will not be replaced. The population in Western Countries and advanced Asian countries is going down. The Chinese stop the one child per couple edict of the 1970s. The only place where over population is a problem is the 3rd world. And even Indian and Latin America are bringing the rate down. A world where only people from 3rd world countries are reproducing will be imbalanced and may lead to famine.



I hope you understand the map!

If Social Security is a problem, then younger families should be encouraged to have their old folks move in with them, like most of the world does.
Before the old people die they will actually outnumber the young. Young people are productive and pay taxes/ Old people consume resources at a very high rate.

But yet you said Japan should encourage more migration?
Nope, I said they should have more kids.

Americans need to worry about their own educational issues.
Yes, I agree. We can think it's stupid, but our own country has it's on issues to worry about.


My parents back in Sweden tells me sometimes we are on the phone how horrible it is in The USA with the current presidents ( whoever it might be ) with guns, health care, immigration problems, crimes, Chicago...!! They usually bring it up after watching a program on Swedish TV about USA.
Like wth, you have your own issues to worry about. I read Swedish papers, they have some serious issues over there, crime is going up. Things are not like it was when I grew up. Worry about that instead of crime in The USA.

Anyways, I know, just a little off topic here.lol.

They have a 130 million people on a piece of the land the size of Montana I think they'll be ok if a few old people die.

You did not answer the question; how many people do you think Japan should have? one billion? 500 billion? One trillion?

There is this strange misconception among educated people that the correct thing to do is not to have children. That only applies to overpopulated 3rd world countries where the fertility rate may be as high as 6.

If a country does not produce children who later become workers the economy dies and the Social Security system ends.





The homogeneity of Japan has benefits. The country is clean and very well managed. It is also safe and people are helpful to each other.
Again, how many people does said countries require? One billion? 100 billion? Please inform us of the number of people a specific country requires.

If a retirement system or any system depends upon population growth, then it is the wrong system. The social security system seems to still have issues in the US despite the US population, despite decades of constant growth around 1%. Additionally, if population was so important, than heavily populated countries and high density countries like India and Bangladesh would be booming, while lower population and density countries like Sweden and New Zealand would be approaching third world status.
