It takes a certain amount of energy to produce those babies.

If so, then this global warming might be even more problematic than previously thought! (Maybe we could get a huge grant to study the problem!) |

LOL. Hadn't thought of that - you're right, global warming could be a bigger problem than previously realised. By the way, you didn't point out that Sock's plan only restricted women. Men could go forth and procreate as much as desired. |

ZOOOOOM!

Very good idea, IT! ...but why that guy? I mean, 4 Weddings and a Funeral was pretty good, but the guy's really gone downhill since then IMO, and I don't think he's too savvy with the Global Warming situation. Why not get a scientist instead? |

I also note that you ignored my main point, which is
The primal society is the family, not the State and much less the global community. It is about love relationships, which as you note is not a zero-sum game. That you chose to get snipped means that you will never know the joys of love of the son or daughter that you will not have. That is fine for you, and you get to choose your own values and what you want to spend your money on. But that gives you no right to decide that another couple should not have all the children that they in good conscience can provide for. I am blessed to have a younger brother, and your grotesque solution would have deprived me of that. There are undoubtedly quite a few on this board who have more than 2 children. You would have them or their wives brutalized by the Contraception Police, and would deprive them of the joys of their younger children. That is all nothing less than grotesque. It is the product of ideological thought, that puts the value of the IDEA above the value of the PERSON. I'd encourage you to rethink your position. |
