[QUOTE="doubtingmerle, post: 58982666, member: 6687"] How can you be so certain about that answer? I asked you earlier in this thread if you were in agreement with finding out if the population is in overshoot. You answered, "Nope"! What can possibly be wrong with finding out if there are more people on this world than the earth can sustainably support? If there are serious studies that say that is true--and there are--then I would think everyone would be in favoring of studying this more, and finding out if this is true. And yet you have said, "Nope"! And then you come back and make definitive statements that you are right and the studies that conclude otherwise are wrong. Do you have any reasoning at all to support this denial? The potential for billions of starving children would not be enough justification to consider mandatory birth control? Why not? Starvation is horrible. Have you not seen the pictures? I have asked you what you would do if it came down to choosing between letting billions of people die of starvation, or taking action to control population. You have inferred that you would prefer to see billions of people die of starvation. When I asked if you would clarify for us, and tell us if you really mean what your words imply, you have refused to clarify. Choose what you like, but some of us are wondering how a person can choose mass starvation of billions of children over efforts to control the population as humanely as possible. Do you have a different plan to throw on the table? If after intense study it is concluded that birth rates near 1 per couple are necessary to prevent mass starvation, and if voluntary efforts to reach that rate are proving ineffective, do you have any proposal at all to throw on the table to end the mass suffering that would result? Please, please, if you don't like the only idea on the table, throw something else on the table. Nobody said that is the only idea we can throw on the table. We are here to talk. [/QUOTE]
