    cells proliferate they duplicate and mass increases
    the food a mother eats indirectly supplies nutrients to the child the baby extracts it from the mothers blood.
    hence an anorexic girl who eats pretty much nothing can still have a baby. it will be serverly undernourished but will have gained its own mass through general cell duplication.

    off topic i know sorry. well leave it there

    According to the Statistics New Zealand web site, birth rates in NZ have fallen from 59,911 in 1991 to 54,021 in 2002, and are now on the rise again reaching 59,193 in 2006.

    Remember we are talking about birth rates here, not population growth from immigration.

    The world population chart shows that the percentage of aged persons (over 65) has risen by over 2% globally (more in NZ) since the 1950's in most population groups around the world, this is a reflection of lower birth rates (a non-replacement effect) as well as longer life spans. Most of the developed world has a birth rate of between 1.8 and 1.9, not even replacement.

    This places an increasing pressure on waged and salaried taxpayers, (whose numbers are shrinking remember as everyone retires) which means that it takes more money to support the aged (whose numbers are growing) who are no longer able to contribute through taxes.

    That means you will end up with a higher social security expenditure per capita than ever before, paid for by higher taxes, which means lower discretionary spending, which impacts the GNP and the GDP which lowers the overall effective economy of the country. This in turn makes people want to look for greener pastures overseas, which deprives us of more taxpayers, and leaves us with even fewer skilled people to look after the aged.

    Which most people would consider a bit of a problem, unless you are one of those who is leaving for greener pastures.

    "If you can't laugh at yourself, you're just not paying attention!"
    "There is no limit to dumb."

    "Resolve to live with all your might while you do live, and as you shall wish you had done ten thousand years hence."

    Pretty much sums it up.*gosh, you talk pwetty...*

    Bottom line is: raising awareness is one thing, and as it has been highlighted, New Zealand is not really the worldwide crisis center for overpopulation of the planet, now is it?

    Trying to raise the issue by posting on a biker forum where most people will have children of their own (or a family in the making) smacks of trolling and is just about as irritating as summer flies ona donkey's arse.

    May I suggest talking to the UN...bet they'll welcome you with open arms Dargor.

    Quite right!
    In fact, if you think about it, it's a good thing that the Japanese are eating all the whales because they are balancing out the effect of us fat Westerners on the planet.

    Dude - Einstein's general theory of relativity would suggest you are an idiot.

    Oh man, a physics insult! The most deadly insult of all! Insulted by a nerd!
    You seriously have to kill yourself now to avoid further humiliation. Next he'll be insulting you via calculus.
    Shame and burn!
