Save the Planet: Have Fewer Kids
http://news.yahoo.com/s/livescience/20090803/sc_livescience/savetheplanethavefewerkids ^

For people who are looking for ways to reduce their "carbon footprint," here's one radical idea that could have a big long-term impact, some scientists say: Have fewer kids.

A study by statisticians at Oregon State University concluded that in the United States, the carbon legacy and greenhouse gas impact of an extra child is almost 20 times more important than some of the other environment-friendly practices people might employ during their entire lives - things like driving a high mileage car, recycling, or using energy-efficient appliances and light bulbs.

"In discussions about climate change, we tend to focus on the carbon emissions of an individual over his or her lifetime," said study team member Paul Murtaugh. "Those are important issues and it's essential that they should be considered. But an added challenge facing us is continuing population growth and increasing global consumption of resources."

I was thinking that with the libs having abortions and then those that do have kids, having fewer of them. They should be an endangered species in a couple of generations.

I also believe that they know this and that is why they have taken over the schools and universities so as to make new liberals out of moderate families.

These people need to take it to the next level, and put their money where their mouths are, they need to off themselves, now THAT will greatly reduce their carbon footprint. Then maybe I’ll listen to them.

Euthanization of the elderly and infirm along with not allowing births should help those health care costs in the short run.

I have 11.

Home schooling them with a Biblical worldview.

I suggest that conservatives have as many children as possible and home school them to avoid the communist indoctrination centers cynically called “Public Schools”.

Let the statists and Marxists sel ect themselves out of the gene pool.

I always mention that to anyone who says we're too populated and need to reduce populations. The reactions from most is quite entertaining when they get my "put up or shut up" comment. It's certainly a conversation stopper. Fun to do at parties with lots of libs.

Go to the Zero Population Growth web-site. They want to reduce the Human Population by 80%. The Science Czar is one of their idols.

Exactly. The left makes no bones about it. They see intellectual Whites as the most dire demographic when it comes to impacting the earth negatively. We’re just too well to do. We eat up resources at rates that practically send the left into shock.

The White race is already headed for having no nation on earth where it will have self-determination. So what does the left do? Why it tries to push the date this happens closers.

Third worlders aren’t practicing self-control, birth control. The left knows this. They know that when intellectuals have fewer kids, they’ll be swamped by the third world. It’s racism, pure and simple what they advocate.

They should be called on it. There are a lot of White people who contribute to these leftist organizations, and these organizations want nothing more than to see them and their race become extinct.

You said — Tell that to the Muslims and Mexican illegals.

Actually, it’s the Muslims who are the real problem, in that regard, because of the idealogy of Islam and their governmental takeover of the U.S. with Sharia law...

The more that people in the U.S. decide to have fewer kids, the sooner the USA becomes an Islamic government.


For all o’ y’all... you gotta see that “demographics” one, for sure...

That evil and oppressive governmental idealogy of Islam and the way of implementing it by Sharia law is already making inroads right here in this country — the good ole USA. We’re about to see a “takeover” of the U.S. by the evil and oppressive idealogy of the government of Islam (that is aiming for world-wide conquest and has stated that the U.S. is *on its list* to take over...)

And for those people who need some additional facts about what the evil and oppressive governmental idealogy of Islam is doing, look at some of the following.

There’s no question about it... the enemy is *Islam* itself and the evil and oppressive and false idealogy that it perpetrates. Some say the problem is “fascism” (instead of the basic oppressive governmental idealogy of Islam, itself). But, that is to engage in “political correctness” and nothing more... and sidetracks people from the *true enemy* in this war.

In one generation we’ll see, right here in the United States that “Islam” is the enemy and not “fascism”...

Muslim Demographics...

and also, this...

Islam: What the West Needs to Know - FULL LENGTH ENGLISH VERSION
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-871902797772997781

and then, looking at this...

“The Third Jihad” (video - abridged version of film)
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2271522/posts

This is the allowance of “false gods” to take over this nation because of the ignorance of the people of the land in regards to the true God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob...

And so, we see that we’re going to have the “false god of Islam” ruling over the USA and running the USA in just one generation from now.

If nothing else, everyone has to see this few minute video, and it will explain the *facts* of why Islam will be taking over this country...

I had a pharmacist friend at one time, who admitted to me that he wanted to see some sort of disease or calamity kill off all but about 500 million people. At first I thought he was kidding. Then I asked him some questions, and sure enough, he really meant it.

At some point in the conversation I said, “Well, if that’s what you really think, what are you still doing here? You could be a part of the solution.”

This was a really nice mild mannered person. I like the guy to this day. Still, when it comes down to it, he thinks this earth should survive and the people who live on it..., well most of them shouldn’t.

It’s that kind of logic, you don’t confront very often, but it is simmering under the surface of many of these leftist groups. Mother earth good, humans who live on it bad.

The left is a psychotic group, with more baggage than a Vanderbilt leaving for a six month tour.

Retarded bullshit that has been hanging around like rotten fruit since 1960.

All of that crap that I bought into when I was a teen and then a young man about conserving resources, blah, blah, blah was total BS and covered up a dangerous agenda to minimize Americans and flood the country with 3rd world immigrants.

After tens of millions of abortions and the widespread acceptance of the genetically dead end Homosexual agenda, the demographics have indeed changed to a 3rd world character and our population has exploded

Yeah, thats working out great...

Go to the Human Extinction Movement web site. They want to reduce the human population to zero. Mr. Holdren, our Science Tzar, likes this idea also.

LOL. Let's hope the liberals actually listen to these gurus. The world would be a better place with fewer of them.

As for me, I choose the Lord's command to be fruitful and multiply. If someone is telling you to do otherwise, you can be fairly sure they're working for the Prince of this world, even if they don't realize it.

Unfortunately, he likes the idea so much that he is 100% behind the public option for health care - and he says to us, “You first.”

You see, public apathy and dramatic population reduction (but not the political elite) are the end games of single payer health care. It works everywhere it has been tried - Europe, Canada, Russia...

Conservatives should have as many children as they possibly can. This is not going to match the third worlders by any means but, heck, let’s keep West Civ going for a couple of generations longer. God will provide.
