Dangerous Demographics

Over the next few decades, the developed world will age and weaken. Meanwhile, demographic trends in the developing world-from resurgent youth booms in the Islamic Belt to premature aging in China and population implosion in Russia-will give rise to daunting new security threats. While some argue that "global aging" is pushing the world toward greater peace and prosperity, a crisis looms in the 2020s. The risks of both chaotic state collapse and neo-authoritarian reaction are rising. Neither the triumph of democratic capitalism nor a "geriatric peace" are the most likely outcomes. The demographic trends of the 21st century will challenge the geopolitical idealism of both the right and the left.

In a wide-ranging analysis of the dynamics of population and power, Richard Jackson and Neil Howe lay out a provocative new interpretation of how demography is reshaping the geopolitical landscape and redefining tomorrow's foreign-policy challenges.

Abortion and contraception, sure. But let's call those by their real name... Feminism and Recreational Sex.

[yeahburp]

Feminism is not to blame here. Western societies where it is acceptable for mothers to have a career are actually more inclined to have bigger Total Fertility Rates than the others. That's why countries like the USA or Sweden produce more babies than countries like Italy or Spain (both deeply Catholic, by the way).

@yeahburp But Spain and Italy are also western societies, they also have feminism just like the USA and sweden. And by the way, who told you that Sweden is having many babies, Sweden is even way much worse off than Italy. The only thing helping the United States is Immigration other than that, they're also beginning to see a decline in population growth and mainly in the white race

@payunghijau If Muslims were attacking my God, then I would forgive them and not attack them back with guns, but with words that speak louder than guns. That's why I neither consider Roman Catholics true Christians. Because they and their past is dealing with such as Muslims the hard way. G.W.Bush said he was a Christian. But he can't be both, a politician and a Christian. If he was to be that, he wouldn't declare war on Iraq. There are only few true Christians in the world in comparison to all.

@payunghijau What country are you reffering to, Denmark I hope? In any case if you mean that politicians aren't true Christians, then I agree with you. Unlike others, I do not try to use my national flag and wave it as my religion. Nor do I try to combine the flag of Denmark with Christianity. If Muslims were to attack Denmark, then in my eyes it would only be an attack on the land and it's culture.

I as a true Christian do not like people talk about Christianity not knowing what it stands for.

The following is a quote of my neighbor,

"All these fucking niggers and the god damned mexicans with their chain of 5 fucking kids at the grocery store are whats ruining the white mans country."

This is the mindset of someone who sees the human evolution as a threat. Why? In 5000 or 10000 years do you think we will look anything like we do now? Providing we live that long. Right now our species is screwed unless we change this line of thinking. The group with the most offspring wins, period.

@Sentinel4truth

I don't think that will happen.

I think Europe, and ultimately all white people, will reject civilization completely and cause our birth rates to go through the roof.

[VadimCool]

@amaqula And that of course is done according to the will of God as since we love God and we love those that God loves. So if a person is Born-Again Christian, that would mean he has new priorities which includes loving those that God loves and spreading the good news of what God has done for us and in doing so showing also what God has given us. The powers to heal eachother, not to slay eachother. The power to drive out demons and speak in tongues. Not going around and ignoring them. Etc.

[VadimCool]

@amaqula Well the commandments of Jesus are actually pretty simple indeed. To have faith in Jesus and to spread the message across and in doing so, let others ecperience God or the healing of God etc. And those rituals and traditions that any state churches have aren't described in the Bible. So it is an invention of men. Wearing white or black dress. Going around with the cross. Creating "Holy Water". Praying to people like Mary or Priests instead of Jesus. The list goes on... No truth or life.
