Who reads that title and thinks its a good thing. Looking at this article I think "oh shit"
Sure having babies is natural and is needed for the survival of our species, but currently where going a bit too far. Overpopulation is what I'm talking about.
When are we as a civilization going to grow up and address it.

*We as a population*? What's that supposed to mean? Surely procreation is a largely a matter of personal choice?
Have you bred or are you planning to?

I think it is the fault of the TV programme selectors.

Get your quotes straight. But if *we as a civilization* continue to bred under personal choice, then this planet will only run out of space and resources faster until it leads to our doom.Originally Posted by Hitcher
No, and i wont be anytime soon, but if i do decide to then i will do so sparingly.Have you bred or are you planning to?

I've love to see the statistics broken down by ethnicity. I question whether the European women would be pumping out as many babies as some of the other ethnicities NZ keeps importing.

thank god at least you guys are speaking english here....have ya seen the HTFU thread.....sorry have nothing of value to add here except to say that I myself am busily overpopulating the world with offspring so of course I'm gonna say its a good thing ........
I ask for nothing but to ride where ever the road calls
Forum whore
so you think New zealand is overpopulated

Well where not all living in tiny apartments so we aren't doing too bad. But at this rate i dont think it will be long.
How much farm land has been lost to housing development. How many cant afford to eat real food (meat) because of the cost.
And how much of that remaining farm land is being used to support overpopulated countries.
I think we as a civilization are overpopulated. The western civilization, So parts of Amereca and Europe are but where doing alright atm. As are parts of Asia.
Where in a situation where we can see what is happening to overpopulated areas and prepare or avoid.
As would I.
Thanks for the complement.

Oh dear..... There are lies, damned lies and Statistics (Henry Du Pré Labouchère (1831-1912)). But now we see a perfect example from Dagor.
In the first article you mention, it gives a birth rate of 2.2 births per women. This number is insuffient to maintain a constant population, let alone increase it.
In the second article the data shows a decling world wide birth rate birth rate, but what is missing is the real reason for the large increase in our planet's population. Everyone is living longer.
Statistics are great for passing on mis-information when some data is left out.

Ok so I referenced some stats without examining them thourghly, That doesnt change the fact that we need to be address overpopulation.
As for the cause being longer life. Well i would rather live longer and have less shorties.

Fewer shorties. Whatever they are. Perhaps they assist in breeding *sparingly*.

I have four children. Does that make me a bad person?
What about if I also say those four kids are shared between four adults? Hardly keeping the population up are we?
Statistics are lies.

Dude, I don't know if you've noticed but your signature has a sentence starting in a preposition. Bad bad bad...

Perhaps fecund is the word you seek?

Yes - most abundantly fecund it would appear.
