Immigration - Why do we do it?

What a load of simplistic claptrap! For a starter most of the increased food on our planet is hydrocarbon reliant and although fracking is currently allowing us to squeeze more out of the remaining reservoirs the days of that 'cheap energy' are finite.

Not much point in killing yourself if you've already consumed most of what you will in your lifetime. Not breeding is surely a more noble act.

WTF? Personally I think you must have your head in the sand.

If the world population were to stop increasing maybe we could find ways for the planet to support us. However, that's not going to happen. It is one of the truths of nature that when a population outgrows the ability of the environment to support it one of two things happen - either half the population finds somewhere else to live or the population plummets back to a level that is sustainable. How many more billion people is required for us to reach this level is the only uncertain factor. Oh, and whether we have the technology at the time to find somewhere else to live.

Secondly, I may not have killed myself but this is certainly one of the reasons I don't have kids and never will.

Step 1. Cigarettes in school lunches
Step 2. Stop fighting Malaria
Step 3. Privatise healthcare even further
Step 4. Increase speed limit to 150k/phr
Step 5. $1,000'000 prize purse for the first man to swim from Africa to Brazil

That's really well laid out for a crackpot site. I do like the giant red arrow pointing out where to purchase their products... a really nice touch.

You're telling me that the world is overpopulated, and you're saying that other people don't have a right to exist, but you're unwilling to do the right thing and remove yourself?

Yes, overpopulated. No, they do not have a right to exist, nobody does. That much you have correct. However, the right thing to do is not to remove oneself, far from it. The correct thing to do is to eliminate as many other people as possible. Removing one from the population base is a waste of time when what we really need to do is remove billions. War is a good starter, but in the meantime, keeping the jackboot firmly on the throats of the weak is the next best thing.
