GrowthBusters: Hooked on Growth

[joeyliv]

So what you are saying is there are too many people. Who decides who lives and who dies? Will there be a united nations committee to say when you reach a certain age it's time to die. Oh sorry you have too many children so this one will be taken by the government go the good of the population? Remember the phrase sustainable population. It will be used for an excuse to put people in camps ... And eventually killed. You are being lied to....

[Growthbuster]

@joeyliv Hardly. No need to kill anyone. Just make responsible, informed decisions about how big your family should be - before conception.

[joeyliv]

@Growthbuster I agree with common sense but I feel it encroaches on freedom. I think they tried something in China years back now there are not enough women for every man. and they still have a population problem...lifestyles have to change for sure.

scrap your car use a bike

[TheVikingNinja]

i hope this film brings up that african countries are at the top of the fastest growing populations.

[Growthbuster]

@BeondPale, I wonder if your comment is colored by the very cultural indoctrination we are trying to recover from. Perhaps it's not in our best interest to worry so much about the kind of prosperity that comes from growth (how's that working out for us so far?) or to be in competition for power against other nations.

[BeondaPale]

The problem is GEOPOLITICAL - if America limits its growth, other nation states will not and they will necessarily grow more prosperous and (more importantly) more powerful (including militarily)

If growth is opposed, it must be opposed worldwide

...This is an extremely tall order

[ProNorden]

The 'Predatory Parasite Community' feeds on this unrestrained growth stuff, coaxing the rest of us into the slavery of debt.

[kmarinas86]

Condoms are the solution.

[DKshad0w]

You're against growth? Why do you hate America?

[BeondaPale]

LOL

[deezplace]

@DKshad0w that's it? that's all you got? Not only did the video NOT contain any anti-american content, *YOU'VE* not stated why that question has any relevance? And if you don't, after watching that video plus actually watching anything *truly newsworthy* on the airwaves / online / in print, understand why "unrestrained growth policies will be the death of us" then you're really much simpler than I thought a person would be that can actually click on a link AND type in a reply. shame

[DKshad0w]

@deezplace WTF, it's been a year... It's SARCASM dude.

[dopevidism]

What about "Climategate"? A basic premise of this video/movie is incorrect. This uploader seems to be an apologist for Codex Alimentarius

[andy765gtr]

@dopevidism "What about "Climategate"?"

you mean the manufactured crime against humanity . i bet you feel a right prat now climategate has been proven by numerous real world inquiries to be complete BS.

do you still believe your pathetic infinite growth on a finite planet nonsense

[JavierVMaldonado]

Dear friends of Growthbuster:

Thank you so much for posting and sharing so generously and wisely this your amazing and top-important educational-video report.

The key of matter is to UNDERSTAND, RESEARCH AND LEARN about...

What does the average earth human being understand for true wealth and richness for his or her beloved children and people on this planet????

[JavierVMaldonado]

@JavierVMaldonado

The current stupid, degenerated, wicked and destructive Earth Human Style,

The "Royal Establishment",

The current Political-Economical and "Cultural" Earth human-System

imposed over our beloved, innocent, naive, ignorant and primitive

terrestrial human mass, along last 2.000 years

It is finally given to us...so unfortunate and dark-evil consequences.

[JavierVMaldonado]

@JavierVMaldonado

It has reached its evil-mad and disastrous/unfortunate effects and dangerous

consequences...for earth human mass.

The MONSTRUOS AND UNSTOPABLE EARTH HUMAN OVER-POPULATION

That is the real cause of progressive destruction of our mother Earth and her

innocent and defendless living beings.

[JavierVMaldonado]

@JavierVMaldonado

That are causing, leading to all of us

to a TOTAL COLLAPSE OF OXYGEN, OF THE TERRESTRIAL ATMOSPHERE,

And that will finally cause...

THE TOTAL COLLAPSE OF LIFE ON EARTH PLANET.

[JavierVMaldonado]

@JavierVMaldonado

There is some top-important, unavaoidable and immediate TASK, DUTY AND RESPONSIBILITY to do in order to stop and solve this dangerous and deadly

problem,

And the following 2-First STEPS TO OVERTAKEN AND SOLVE THIS MAD AND DISASTROUS SITUATION WITH EARTH MOTHER PLANET AND HER LIVING BEINGS, are:

In order to preserve the natural balance and Ecological health...

[JavierVMaldonado]

@JavierVMaldonado

1st. STOP IMMEDIATELY ANY NEW HUMAN BIRTH UNTIL THE HUMAN NATURAL BALANCE ON EARTH WILL BE RESTORED.

2nd. and nor less important is TO ESTABLISH ONE SINGLE AND TRUE HUMAN GOVERNMENT ON EARTH, under the Eternal and Iron-clad

LAWS OF THE CREATION

And this is our task and duty, of every single true human being on this planet.

Sincerely yours,

Javier

GrowthBusters gets it: our political-economic system has been optimized to deliver wealth by extracting it from future generations. This is neither ethical nor democratic, nor sustainable. Let's make a better future!

[nzegreatest]

@J7Rod7 ... and in the mean time? Reducing the matter to such a simple equation is just... too simple! And sterilisation? Our children, children's children, etc, are the very reason why we care about this at all!!

[ahfuruset]

I do hope more and more people can realise that the population growth can't go on forever!

[Mokurentate]

It would really help if they started giving out free voluntary sterilizations. I have no desire to breed. =[

[J7Rod7]

The equation is very simple:

Reduce Global Population = Greater Abundance for All

[juliandeathgod]

@J7Rod7

exactly right.

[LPCSociety]

glad this is getting attention, unlimited growth is a fantasy, we need to start

facing the reality that we are too many and need to limit the population.

[Barreto7x7x7]

not to mention the destruction of the whole environment. Earth needs to recover; natural resources need also time to renew themselves. You impede both. Alas. Overpopulation is hence likely to become one of the most important and - perhaps - the most decisive questions and challenges in the coming times for you, for the whole humanity.
