Dick Smith is a senile old fuck. He doesn't give a crap about population growth. All he cares about is hogging the media light. Go away, Dick.

I like this great idea. Bless you.

[krayzie1234567]

A great idea & it should stir up a bit of thought , i myself think you could have got more bang for the $ with a trust that funds many clever minds to fruition .While we all put our super into mining & China we will only encourage it to grow & pollute even more . Be aware of the Emporers new clothes aspect of any schemes that dont address the core issues, Anyway Dick good one for at least trying ???????

@Planet0fTheApes I do not agree with this. Even if it is undesired that poor families have many kids, they do not contribute to exhausting of natural resources and climate change as much as rich people do. The rich and super rich are the real arse holes! The living standard of the richt top 10% are untennable at global level, so THEY are the areseholes, that should lower their consumption. This could then in turn finance the underdeveloped part of humanity.

[Planet0fTheApes]

@robheusd We penalise the parents financially at retirement. The children may even be obliged to support them, discouraging the children from being irresponsible arseholes like their parents.

We can also financially reward those that act responsibly, particularly the poor. If we act quickly to stabilise the world’s population and reform our economic system, we’ll be positioned to eliminate the extreme poverty and exploitation.

We must stop rewarding the arseholes!

[robheusd]

@Planet0fTheApes And how do you control that if people already sold their voucher, and still are getting kids. Those kids should be killed then, or what?

[Planet0fTheApes]

@robheusd "by transferring wealth from rich nations and peoples to the underdeveloped peoples...ultimately the population growth is reduced."

Think about rob, if rich nation people had to decide between a) transfer of wealth or b) a voucher system, don't you think they'd vote for the voucher system? I certainly would.

[Planet0fTheApes]

@robheusd If you think the voucher system is too draconian, keep in mind that the longer we wait the more draconian we'll need to be. The world doesn't need more people, it's about the quality of life not quantity.
