At my High School we have to take a class called Environmental Systems. Its a class all about shoving liberal garbage about global warming and such down our throats. I try not to argue so i can just get through the class, but today we had to watch an hour and a half long video about overpopulation. It was called "People Bomb", a 1992 CNN video special with help from the Sierra Club. I knew it wouldn't be good.

It started off talking about how women do not have rights in countries like india. But that soon led to them saying that they didn't have the right to not have kids. Then that they couldn't afford contraceptives. Then how they couldn't afford to have children. And finally to how they needed safe abortions.

It gets worse. The video went on to slam Churches for not allowing follower to have abortions or recieve contraceptives. The video made it sound like Religion was the cause of poverty, starvation and infanticide in these countries.

If you guys have any ideas on how i would be able to combat this, tell me.

Did you write this yourself, or just copy if from a message board?

I will certainly get flamed for this but ... religion, with its emphasis on no contraception/abortion and male privilege to control the wife, does directly have an impact on the number of children born in any family and hence its financial situation.

If the family is on the edge, more children is a cause of poverty and starvation. Heck, we see it in this country - unmarried women with children living off the government.

The cure ? Capitalism - laws, private property ownership, and innovation. Again, this country is the prime example. Where you find infanticide, starvation and poverty you usually find socialism/communism or religious tyrrany.

This article looks pretty interesting and it links to several other articles; it also references a book which may be in your local library:

Is Human Population Really the Problem?

Found another interesting website, the Population Research Institute

I found these by typing the words population and myth into google.

I know what liberalism in school feels like. 12 years of public school in deep blue Maryland and now I have begun four more years of excessive liberalism in college. And people wonder why kids hate school...

Ask the teacher how they plan to handle the "demographic crash" (declining population) in, say, European countries. Since at the current rates Muslims will reach a majority of the population it should prove rather amusing to see how secular liberals plan to handle that situation.

Depopulation doesn't exactly have "happy" results.

Just as the push to “normalize” alternative sexual orientations is now obvious, so the push to criminalize Christianity and to make atheism the “natural state” is becoming really blatant.

Overpopulation is in the eye of the beholder. Consider all the European countries which are now in dire straits because of their native population decrease and their consequent importation of people from other cultures.
