    When one has no good answer one should not comment.


    You could not refute my post so had to just be silly ???



    Why didn't I get a reply to:
    Many people who have children are hedonists who want children and have them because that is what they want.

    They spend their money on material things like kid's food, clothing, toys, phones, games, homes, car seats, cars, furniture, sporting equipment, education, travel ALL of which leave a carbon footprint MULTIPLIED.

    both sides could compromise on a foreign war in iran, not a civil war in America.

    they have a common enemy, overpopulation.

    First of all "both sides" would not be fighting "a foreign war" if this war is the result of an American invasion of Iran.

    Secondly, I do not believe that any Moslem nation thinks of "overpopulation" as an "enemy".

    I still think that a civil war in the U.S. would be a great service to the rest of the world, with the exception of investors in American, non-war material manufacturers. :machinegun:

    We are losing population and when you can't sustain yourself how would this "save the planet" and should that be the concern?

    Still waiting. Over-population alarmists have been wrong for centuries now.

    Even if it was true (which it isn't) that the world is - or soon will become - "overpopulated", it certainly is not overpopulated by smart and good people. ;)
