Via College Fix:
A renowned University of California-Riverside professor recently advised students to save Mother Earth, eat vegetarian, only have 1.5 kids - two at the most – take up social justice causes, and “lower your standard of living.”
Biology Professor Richard Cardullo – recently tapped by several federal agencies to assist with redeveloping how college students across the nation study life science – offered the advice to a room full of middle school students as part of the university’s online science lecture series, recorded on the campus earlier this year. A video of his talk is posted on YouTube.
He began his 50-minute lecture, “Is Earth Overpopulated,” by painting a picture that the planet doesn’t have the room or resources for more and more humans, yet that’s the direction in which it’s headed. [...]
Cardullo ultimately advocates family planning for the task.
“That means your generation and the next generation, if they are committed to doing this, would mean having family sizes that on the average are 1-and-a-half children, or two,” he said. “Some would have one, some would have two. It would be 50/50.”
Cardullo’s lecture then morphed into somewhat of a sexual education seminar, explaining to the students on a cellular level how sperm fertilizes an egg, and how scientists study new ways to stop that from happening.
“Sperm is a vector … which leads to increased populations, so many scientists want to know, ‘Are there new ways we can control population or fertility rates?’ … so individuals can make the decisions to keep those rates low,” he said. “We are talking about controlling human fertility.”
I think in Oregon or something they will let a minor “cut the cord” on themselves without parental permission.
LOL - first time I've seen this one .... I'll be referring to it this way from now on.
Another nutty professor speaks. The things these guys come up with.
Obama voters are already taking his advice on that last point.
Hey Cardullo. I CHOSE not to have kids. Bugger off you Clymer. I can make my own choices without you!
Shouldn’t you lead by example?

Again, I say it is sorrowful that these radicals’ parents didn’t agree with their child’s way of thinking.
Pelosi, Reid, BO, etc etc all push abortion, you can bet that they didn’t get that attitude from their mother(s).
Unless of course the mothers could be looking at their ‘finished product’ and say
“The world would love me if I had the same idea many years ago”.
And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. ~Genesis 1:28
Reminds me of this little pearl of wisdom from the tree-huggers: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G880gxjj9dI
If space travel and exploration work out,I am an optimist on that subject,then having a worst-case-scenario demographic pattern will come back to bite us on the arse.
Also how the hell are we going to be covering these expensive state pensions,if the educated have no children.
I hope all the flaming libs do as he says.
Embrace the World, be ashamed of prosperity, suppress or kill life, feel guilty, etc.
Yeah thats the ticket.
“Meanwhile the pr!ck is probably making $100K as a college professor. “
You were a little off on the low side. Here’s the “prick’s” pay. My guess is that the other one is his wife. Must be the Sh!ts having to live on more than a quarter million a year! Maybe he will get run over by a drunk illegal.

Hindu, Taoist, Mormon,
Spill theirs just anywhere,
But God loves those who treat their
Semen with more care.
“Some would have one, some would have two. It would be 50/50.” Well, he’s a professor. He would know how to cut a baby in half.
Shakespeare said to kill all the lawyers. In light of environmental concerns, I wonder how he’d feel about liberal professors.
We already did the Population Zero thing in the 60s.
One good belch from Mother Earth and the entire planet could become void of life.
But, I trust Mother Earth more than I would trust these WACKO greenie types. They are downright scary with some of the things they propose. Look at what they did for ‘paper or plastic ... or reusables and bacteria.
“sperm is a vector” Again, he should know.
hey prof you first....
