This is an EPIC discussion.  Such amazing minds talking with one another.

Replace yourself only. Two parents = two children.

Anyone having one or no children would be a reduction in the overall population. As to the question about the inevitable civil liberties infringement..... ?:(

@danielbalter

it's actually a quote from hitler, it's referring to the fact that the kid doesn't share the same views as the parent necessarily and you don't have to run around bashing people on the head directly to get your view across

it can be seditious or it can be non-seditious, depends on how you go about it, if you give the facts and so on, most of the kids will look into it themselves and start forming opinions, don't deny parents their say at all, just provide the facts and it'll work

[danielbalter]

@noobler9 Besides what I previously said, your comments are spooky: you sound like Charles Manson, like a pedophile, like a creep. For example you said, "Your child belongs to us already." That's creepy.

[danielbalter]

@noobler9 When you begin your response to me with"You forget one thing...." You already alienate me with your condescending trope. People like you are building the new community? Great.

[danielbalter]

@danielbalter So, comments on YouTube are censored if they receive too many negative responses--"truth" by popularity. The Purge continues!

[noobler9]

@danielbalter you forget one thing

When an opponent declares, "I will not come over to your side," I calmly say, "Your child belongs to us already... What are you? You will pass on. Your descendants, however, now stand in the new camp. In a short time they will know nothing else but this new community." their children, DO share "globalist fantasies of one big happy family" and that is what will make things one step closer to that being a reality

money = power. the people with power are the oil companies. until the oil runs out its not gonna change. if you think its the governments who make the policies then wake up

[ScientiaVeritasEtLux]

It's enough to give one goosebumps to see these four in the same room together. It's a discussion with the greatest of The Greats.

[bryn100]

The title of the debate is taken from his book The Selfish Gene. It says that at the beginning of the video... the idea being can we ascend above the selifsh genes that built us for the good of the planet.

I'm trying to smoke some of that selfish green.
