Reality check

Population growth is a real difficulty for many developed and developing nations, and it is firmly embedded in the birth to death ratio. Basically too many children are being born and not enough of us are dying quickly enough. That doesn't mean that a few sections of society have too many children per family unit but that too many people have children full stop, and plenty are neglected. The nuclear family is sold to us as the only viable lifestyle choice and there are important economic and social reasons for this but we need to get real now.

Rising crime, over crowded cities, waste, ethnic unrest, lack of resources like power, water, roads, schools, houses etc and no suitable land available to build more on means alot of people are going to lose out as a result. Most island nations have populastion and immigration controls except the UK, it has to change if the children we do have are to have any sort of a decent future.

For the population to decrease we need people to start looking at a 'childless life' as a viable option and this needs to be sustained for a period. Of course it's a natural instinct for human beings to want to procreate and raise offspring but that is normally checked by the harsh realities of the natural world - something we will have to face on a catastrophic scale if we dont address it. We have have almost negated these factors now so we have to make hard choices as a society.


Idiotic governments who say we need overseas labour are fools. We can't keep expanding the UK any more, especially, when everyone knows the vast majority of immigrants are going to claim benefits. Therefore, I would like to know from you brightspark pro-immigrant fans, when do you stop it because it will have to sooner or later?? We are already on the verge of social and financial collapse and as
good as there in one respect.

We should follow Australia, New Zealand and other countries by clamping down on immigration, cutting child benefit to one child only. This would be a great help in solving the problem. People would only have the children they could afford to bring up. Also stop all this fertilisation treatment etc. It sounds harsh but back to nature, she will will punish us alot harsher if we dont act!

An over-riding obsession with racism that has dominated brainless social theory has allowed champions of multiculturalism and diversity, backed by organisations to use immigration as their most potent flagship. Anyone expressing even the mildest pragmatic concern has been labelled a racist.

The economic reasons for immigration - filling vacant jobs and attracting skills - have been exploded by recent figures and its only purpose appears to have been a deliberately engineered cultural revolution by the liberal left to justify their ideological high horse. The population growth we now face is merely one in many of its consequences.

It's a global issue and immigration is a tiny symptom of the real underlying cause. Medical advances and hygiene improvement s have led to an explosion in the human population of the planet - from 2.5 billion in 1950 to 6.7 billion in 2006 - almost tripled in 50 years! Look at any environmental issue and this is the cause - too many people. And the delight is that we are all taxed to pay for the rampant breeders to carry on making the problem worse. Breeding is no longer a necessity but a self indulgence and it is time the tax system was refined to put an end to its subsidy. Start with IVF - certainly one we don't need to be paying for, then look at all child subsides and move towards individuals being responsible for their own
life choices. And before anyone starts on the "right to have children", yes and you can also have the "right" to expect most of them to die before reaching maturity - that is not a moral desire it is a fact of nature, and too many people cannot seem to tell the difference when they listen to someone who states the obvious.

And before I get slated by let wingers and humanists.. FACT: If you don't adapt and respond to changing circumstances, you will run into problems individually and collevtively. Intelligence is the ability to do this. Ideology is the ability to ignore it. Anyone that doesn't believe that this will not end in massive civil unrest or war needs to take a fucking reality check.

We need to move on from immigration being something only racists and bigots moaned about and global overpopulation that only aloof scientists and malthusians ever talked about and understand that we need to show some restraint before the consequences of our so called 'rights' bite us up the arse.

100% with you there Matt. Well, 98% at least, because I still have doubts about whether ANY action to prevent nature from equalising the imbalance by eradicating human beings is a good idea - from the planet's perspective anyway.

I guess it all comes down to whether your outlook is optimistic or pessimistic and although I'm generally optimistic (about the planet's long term ability to deal with any threats to its existence) I'm mostly pessimistic about the human race and it's ability to act in a less damaging way.

I still hope that humans are, as I believe, a temporary aberration in the life of the planet. Extinction is 'natural' and not necessarily a bad thing. Life is bigger than human beings and any species which reduces diversity is a threat to life.

Personally I find it very comforting to think that in a hundred million years, all that might be left of the human species is a layer of sediment 3 inches thick, and of our industrial society, a layer just one-hundredth of an inch thick. (http://tinyurl.com/earthafterus)

But, leaving the big picture for now, diversity is good and is the thing that racists don't want to see. But multi-culturalism? That's completely different and it needs to be discussed. Too many people, myself included, have shyed away from being openly critical of the move towards multicultural societies because of the fear of being labelled 'racist'. But a failure to discuss this issue properly drives otherwise moderate people towards the only groups that do raise it e.g. the BNP.

I am not racist and I would never vote for anyone, let alone the BNP, but I am very strongly anti-multiculturist. Cultures develop differently in different regions of the world and are inevitably tied to the environment in which they arise. Trying to mix different cultures does not result in Blue Mink's 'great big melting pot' (showing my age!) it results in the same kind of tensions and conflict that arise from battery farming.

But regardless of whether societies are single or multi cultural the simple fact is there are too many people! I struggle to understand why news of declining fertility rates (http://www.indexmundi.com/map/?v=31) are greeted with exclamations of horror and dismay.

Bring it on!

I couldn't agree more...IVF, for example, should be banned, as it is bringing people into an overpopulated world who would otherwise never be born (and there are health issues with the procedure).

Australia is in fact not a good example as we have a high immigration rate and high birthrate, the latter no thanks to the "baby bonus". At least now there is some debate about population issues here by politicians, though I don't have much hope anything constructive will be done.
