The Cafferty File: Overpopulation & the Earth's Limited Natural Resources

[AnglosphereAlIiance]

This is nothing but old paranoid fears/masochisms that have existed since and even before the industrial revolution. There are vastly more people on the planet than 2 thousand years ago. Yet people are materially better off on aggregate ever generation. Why is that? Technology, more efficient use of current resources, and finding of new/different types of resources to use on average. If someone is actually interested I recommend these two videos watch?v=AcWkN4ngR2Y watch?v=WSWv3rX79sI

[dsspike51]

The main thing to be worried about is oil. A growing population means greater demnd for oil. And with oil beeing one of the reasons for pentagon having such a massive budget, and the united states being willing to spend that budget to secure an oil supply, is world safety and security not threatened by over population?

[alliencedful]

mostly old people have power and they don't care

[Gr33nAtheist]

Should mandatory population control be a part of the fight against global warming? How about a part of our fight against the collapse of our civilization. If the problem isn't imminent, we as humans tend to ignore said problem till it's way too late too do anything about it. Don't have kids, adopt instead. Alas our genetic drive to reproduce will force us to the edge of extinction.

[nogivenogets1]

Bottom line is if you can't afford to feed yourself & your 6 kids, pick your favorite & eat the rest. End welfare, stop paying people to breed.

[jacopman]

We can chose to manage our consumption now through population control or else exhaust resouirces and/or degrade environmental sustainabilty to where a tragic equalibrium will be established.

Knowing human nature and the infinite economic growth model of the fractional reserve system of banking, we will choose to ignor such management until it is too late.

Result? 4 to 5 billion will die from starvation or fighting over the remaining resources.

The choice is yours humanity

[studiorobo]

Earths population problems can be solved VERY easily, just make a law that ALL people on earth have to follow, here it is: make every couple on the planet have ONE child, that way, every TWO people will turn into ONE, making the earths population decrease by HALF. 4 billion people to 2 billion in ONE GENERATION, and about twins, you will sadly have to give one up to an orphanage. That way people who can't have kids can keep one.

[mphello]

@studiorobo Amen!

Cut the balls off the man if he violates this law.

I have ZERO sympathy for the complaints of breeders, conservatives, and overpopulation deniers about problems brought on because of THEM.

[phillips78]

there is more on the issue of overpopulation at "overconsumpulation".

[sanitoshp]

We Indians are planning to increase our population to compete with the growing muslim population. The whites and chinese have become too lazy to fight with muslims. We need more Indians to control Islam.

[globejack]

@sanitoshp good idea but I thought 1/3 of indians was muslim!!

[LordNadir1]

@sanitoshp that's why you indians are more poor than the entire population of africa and only getting worse!

[euro944t]

John Lennon believes overpopulation is a myth and scam behind it. YT has the video

[datzfast]

@euro944t when he spoke those words the world had not gotten fat. now with 7 or more billion fattys on the planet john lennon was proven correct. 4 billion cell phones with cameras to take photos and put them on the internet shows not one single starved to death child yet the UN will proclaim 20000 die daily of starvation. you can eat the big lie, or see thruth. our species stopped growing food for hunger over one hundred years ago, humans do not grow food.

[datzfast]

per capita china income says they wont be importing much pussy

[datzfast]

if democrats would stop breeding the world population would stabilize with no further action. i vote for this solution.

[centurion180ad]

There is no overpopulation. Malthus is ALL lies. There is some over density as people are forced into inhumane habitat, but there is no overall overpopulation.

[phillips78]

@centurion180ad With ecosystem servuces in decline I would disagree that there is no global overpopulation. It is caused by a multiplication of population (rising) and consumption per person (also rising).

[centurion180ad]

@phillips78 Services are being phased out by the BANKERS, that are looting the entire planet. We are able to afford our people if the bankers would stop plundering everything.  We must depopulate bankers. Then everything will be fine.

[phillips78]

@centurion180ad Agreed that the rich have a greater impact than the poor, but everyone who banks has the choice who to bank with, have you heard of triodos bank?

By the way, don't pass the blame, we can all do our bit. Watch "overconsumpulation"

[antioverpop17]

I am always stunned at how people keep having more kids than they can afford. Then they go and work 2-3 jobs and do those jobs half-assed and screw customers over. Every plumber and roofer I have come out here is in his 20s or 30s and goes, duh, lady, I got me 2-3 kids I gotta feed - well, buddy you shoulda kept your dingaling in your drawers to begin with. Now I gotta pay you exorbitant fees and get ripped off because you dumped more brats on this overcrowded world.

[centurion180ad]

@antioverpop17 We can afford our kids.

What we can't afford is STINKING BANKERS!

Bankers are the problem, and bankers are the enemy.

[datzfast]

@antioverpop17 why do you need the services of a plumber or roofer are you to lazy to work yourself? they sell all that shit a lowes. these are unskilled jobs . you just bitching about the money they make. or the money you were to dunb to make.

[phillips78]

more on this issue at "overconsumpulation"

[FloridaRaider]

Only 47% of the US population are taxpayers. I say that if you're not a tax payer, you shouldn't be allowed to breed. Thus helping population control and keeping the higher quality of citizenry. Is it a form Eugenics? Yes. But it also provides incentive for deadbeats to better themselves if they wish to have children.

[centurion180ad]

@FloridaRaider Want some Eugenics do you?

Lets start with YOU. Then lets depopulate BANKERS!

Then there will be plenty for everyone, and Free Enterprise will flourish.

Ad Astra!

[datzfast]

@FloridaRaider so you would murder the father or the fathers children? be specific man, you dont offer a solution without a desicion fool

[FloridaRaider]

@datzfast fool? you can't even spell correctly. And at no point did I say to murder anyone. Idiot.

[datzfast]

@Florida Raider nothing is misspelled. you have no defense.

[datzfast]

@TheElectricalsynapse looks greek to me

[centurion180ad]

@phillips78 THERE ARE TOO MANY BANKERS

[FloridaRaider]

@centurion180ad Bankers? lol yeah, blame it the bankers. Smalled minded. You haven't gotten out much and seen/experienced much of the world huh. Life is so grand in the Philippines..not.

[centurion180ad]

@FloridaRaider Nice COINTELPRO gig for you 'eh? Starts at GS8, if you are willing to be a state sponsored terrorist against your own people? Is it nice being an enemy of our Constitution?

Bankers are the enemy, sure as I am breathing.

[besmart78]

INDIANS SHOULD DO THE SAME THERE'S TO MANY AND WAT EVERY NATION ITS ONLY ASIA THT SHOULD DO IT ...THEY WENT PAST THEIR LIMIT

[4TIMESAYEAR]

Anyone who thinks the world is overpopulated has no idea how enormous it is.

[julianzolo]

@4TIMESAYEAR Yeah, why don't you take your family to the Death Valley, the Sahara or the Antarctica, PLENTY of space there

[4TIMESAYEAR]

@julianzolo This is the kind of thing that "believers" in this problem always propose. If you really believe it's overpopulated it is you who should act on your beliefs, not us.

[julianzolo]

@4TIMESAYEAR It is you, "denier", the one who thinks it is only about space

[njabulani]

@4TIMESAYEAR we know exactly how big it is and that its resources are being consumed at an alarming rate and are finite.

[euro944t]

@4TIMESAYEAR

I guess people don't know how big the ocean is ? Planet too small ?

They don't know about "Sprawl" construction to herd us into suburbs between gas stations and toll booths, while skipping sidewalks and bus stops on Sunday.

You and I know that WW3, radiation scanners causing sterility will depopulate earth real quick "Children Of Men"

"We are living in a wonderful time, where people refuse to accept the future"

Self deluded goy promoting Imperialism, bailouts, open borders.

[datzfast]

@euro944t yes even the cell phone in my britches is frying my nuts as we speek. any children born of these testicles are going to need a cell tower in the back yard just to feel normal.

[centurion180ad]

@4TIMESAYEAR Malthus is all lies.

[shairaptor]

I'm gay, and sensible, I'm not copying myself :D preventing overpopulation, get out of the closet! Peace :)

[njabulani]

@shairaptor homosexuality is natures solution to the human problem.

[isocrate27]

I don't see any moral basis to the assertion that the right to reproduce is superior to the right to own a SUV. It's as simple as that.

[datzfast]

@isocrate27 i promise to never impregnate you against your will, but if you try to take my SUV i will kill you dead and fuck your corspe.

[isocrate27]

@datzfast ???? Are you seriously threating me? Or are you just retarded?

[datzfast]

@isocrate27 climate change?

[dellownerman]

The People opposed to population control are the same ones who are taxing the planet and the rest of us because of their arrogant beliefs that they have the right to breed like rabbits and stick society with the costs associated with having babies and children until they become adults. Even as adults society has to provide for adults as well. All this costs money which involves paying taxes. These same breeders are against raising taxes or being taxed in the first place.Tax the Breeders.

[datzfast]

@dellownerman would it make more sense not to tax the breeders and provide them no services? because providing services is what allows them to breed. we are talking about niggers right.

[dellownerman]

@datzfast I would not single out blacks or any other minority since it is people's arrogance to have kids, when maybe they should rethink about having kids if they can't support them without Joe the tax payer supporting them. I am against lazy welfare queens as well as rich yuppies popping out babies because they want to spread their genes around the gene pool. Judging by kids today, there are some bad genes in the gene pool.

[datzfast]

@dellownerman one half of everybody is of below average intelligence. a declining demand for world products guarantees an economic collapse of currency. when mankind's concept of money fails man will eat this planet of species like the unleashing of 7 billion highly intelligent velociraptors and then we will eat each other regardless of political affiliation. but, it doesnt matter if their are 15 billion or 7 or 2 it still ends the say way.

[dellownerman]

@datzfast It is not that simple that people are less intelligent or don't understand the concept of money, It is that there is one percent of the human population controls 90 to 99% of the money on the planet and who ever controls the money rules the world. Even governments are powerless to control the the power of the money people such as corporations and billionaires and multimillionaires. Less money for education makes for less intelligent people and unskilled people

[datzfast]

@dellownerman its wastful to try to educated the less than average intellegent himans if not impossible, its simply thowing good money at a problem that money cant fix. and he who contols the money have always ruled the humans. only now in the last years the dynamic has changed. humans as a species no longer feed themselves. its cheaper to buy food than make it. so as a species we are food buyers, humans do not make food, coperations now make food for huimans.

[jumar1281]

i would hardly call what China has done a "success". Whats the ratio of men to women over there now? 50:1? They are on the brink of a sociological collapse, there are not enough women, they will self destruct

[njabulani]

@jumar1281 China's policy is a success. Your way over the top with this "they will self-destruct" nonsense. Yes the is disproportianate rate of men to women. But its not a nation crippling problem and its very easy to import women from any of the surrounding nations. Since the 1 child policy Chinas population is being stabilized and will decrease very shortly. There economy has boomed, there becoming a greener country, there are more resources to go around, and the whole country benefits.

[datzfast]

@njabulani show me one time in the history of mankind where a country gave up all its women to china just so a chinaman has a place to rest his penis at night. so does this surrounding country not need is women for their men? your not very bright are you? in fact your retarded. in fact your below average, think what your doing for a living. see i knew it.

[njabulani]

@datzfast There plenty of women being exported for pleasure all over the world. Grow up and stop being naive. Pussy goes where money goes.

[dellownerman]

To reduce human population I say we need to tax people who breed more than those who choose not to breed. It is absurd to give tax breaks to those who give birth to more people on this over crowded planet. I would also start with taxing religious institutions that promote human breeding and preach against birth control and abortion from the pulpit. It made sense 2000 years ago to be fruitful and multiply because mortality rates were very high back then.

[supersmash43]

@dellownerman I totally agree with everything you just said. Ironically it is mainly the poor that breed the most so taxing should deter them from needinglessly reproduce.

[mphello]

@dellownerman

=we need to tax people who breed more than those who choose not to breed.=

I know your comment is a year old, but WAY TO GO!

You need the encouragement!

[NESzebes]

Hey CNN i got an idea!

How about you state the obvious for once... you know because you never do that...

for gods sake. IF Every 2 people were to have 1 child between them, of course popularity would fucking decrease! ...by half! its basic maths!

[0932486509]

Anyone who denies that cannot do basic math. This is the most obvious yet least spoken bit of news there is. I certainly hope that it surfaces into the mainstream because it is damn important!!

[cpilfold420]

this is definitely the most important piece of info. Overpopulation is a huge problem.

[datzfast]

@cpilfold420 i dont know what to think when their were a billion people we were starving and died at age forty and now were all fat and die of old age. if two trees are planted for everyone cut down i just cant see what the problem is. i dont like to look at slums i guess thats the problem.

[datzfast]

@cpilfold420 

[datzfast]

@cpilfold420 you dont shit where you eat and you dont fuck where you work. i can still do that, we are not over populated. Harold E. Carter 2005.

Dear meishas,

The idea is contraception, that is the responsible prevention of pregnancy, through education and awareness.

There is no doubt, that the Chinese One-Child policy is not perfect and does have its negative, extremely condemnable sides (mostly due to the irrational attitude of individual citizens/parents), but the Chinese at least are doing something!

The ideal would be a worldwide, humane, democratic and scientific birth control.

Regards.

[meishas]

One thing not mentioned about China's population control methods is that it was usually the baby girls to be aborted. After one generation of this, it has caused China to be tremendously short on women. In turn, this has led to has led to an alarming demand for human trafficing. That does not sound like a good model to follow.

[controlpopulation]

its not the model that was the problem, it was their belief system that led to the women / men disparity. Blame religion not birth restriction.

[0932486509]

@meishas No, I agree, women have every right (And reason) to live as well. There are certainly improvements to be made in our ways of going about it. However, whenever you see countries using contraception and so forth, quality of life inevitably improves and the exact opposite is true without.

[njabulani]

@meishas that one negative does not outweigh the many positives of the policy. Its not perfect but it works.

[meishas]

How can any government have a right to decide who can live and who cannot. Infanticide is morally wrong. Where is the value of human life? Do we have the attitude we should kill ourselves off before something else does? Portions are larger than ever in America, and here we are entertaining the idea of killing off future generations so we can what...stay comfortable?

[njabulani]

@meishas EXACTLY, you get it

[nightshadowblade]

Finally this topic gets into the main stream media. Overpopulation is the cause and not just a symptom of the biggest problems on this little blue planet. If we don't implement a worldwide humane and just form of birth control now, we will get more wars, more animal species will die off, there will be more famines, droughts, chaotic weather, desertification, water shortages etc. Wanting to bear a lot of children is very selfish in a massively overpopulated world.

[Legion1937]

Finally the TRUTH!

[Innocuous1]

Here's the deal - we don't have time to try to reason with all the groups who oppose this for religious or political reasons. Countries with strong democracies and a secular, environmentally conscious majority have to force their governments to put huge funds into finding a reasonable scientific solution to this that is global in scope and doesn't require consent or cooperation. Plan B is starvation and a violent chaotic planet.

[Aepsilonm]

May reason and wisdom indeed prevail.

The swift implementation of a system of worldwide, humane, democratic ( applicable to each and all), scientific and rigorously monitored birth control is the rational step to be taken.

Yes to responsibility and peaceful coexistence with Mother Earth, the flora, the fauna and the wider environment!

Thanks for sharing this, CookyPuss 1127; Mr. Jack Cafferty rocks! :-)

Regards.

[controlpopulation]

Jack is a king of kings. Finally someone in the media that gets it.

[controlpopulation]

Population control is the ONLY way to fight our problems. Its time to grow up people and stop being selfish. Limit births, lower population and most of our issues will be solved.
