It is exactly what has happened to europe and anglo-americans. in 1920s having a family with 9 - 12 kids was seen as good, and more or less normal. by the 1970s having a family with more than two or three was seen as too many kids, with an implication of single child families being better.

The half billion seemed to be more of a long term number historically-but now you have to factor in damage from overpopulation. The soil needs 500 years to recover ( on its own-you can goose that with intense inputs ). I wouldn't be surprised if 50-100 million is the max for awhile. On contraception, everyone would be better off with less folks, but we are programmed to breed, but more importantly cultural adaptations implore us to breed profusely as a survival mechanism. You can't change cultural conditioning so fast. Not even after fifty years, looking at the efforts ( plus, add in the perception White colonists are trying to depopulate your country to control it easier ).James M Dakinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01382139289994087931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-31109651287729372192017-09-11T06:33:10.915-07:002017-09-11T06:33:10.915-07:00I can’t recall where I heard it, but the claim was...I can’t recall where I heard it, but the claim was that the Earth can only support a population of 2 billion on organic soil inputs. Assuming that this is correct (it seems like a reasonable claim) a hunter/gatherer society would probably require this number to be halved. Worst of all is that the population still continues to grow at an exponential rate, with this additional population being kept alive with petroleum. The entire system is being held together with one big oily petroleum Band-Aid, and when it gets ripped off, it’s gonna hurt! <br /><br />Instead of bombing the rug pilots, we should be dropping contraceptives in the major waterways over Asia and Africa. Yeah, I know. That’s the sort of talk that gets one labeled a “raciss”! But face it; that’s where the heart of our population problem lies.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-37582495827891151102017-09-11T06:24:06.079-07:002017-09-11T06:24:06.079-07:00And just think of the useful skills you would have...And just think of the useful skills you would have mastered. Knowledge they could never take away, like they can badges, rank, and pay. I’m quite ignorant of explosives and it makes me very nervous to handle such stuff. So I avoid it.<br /><br />Knowledge: portable wealth; better than diamonds. I don't mean vowel frequency in Beowulf or electrical engineering; I mean plumbing, basic house wiring, framing, welding; stuff like that. You talk about being free (which you often do): not having to buy such useful services goes a long way toward being free.<br /><br />Sam CAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-17203633708781721112017-09-10T18:22:36.552-07:002017-09-10T18:22:36.552-07:00Thank you for the vote of confidence, and glad my ...Thank you for the vote of confidence, and glad my taxes helped out :) I never really regretted leaving the service, even looking back at how much easier it would have been. Just too opposed to listening to idiots try to get me hurt or killed. I guess I am so cynical and paranoid I just KNEW I would be in harms way, way back when. Turns out it probably would have worked out that way. I should have gone into EOD when offered-I would have enjoyed the danger then as it would have been in my control.

In the Marine Corps we thought of ourselves as 'professionals;' which meant we killed, or fed, on orders, without other motive. It wasn't personal; just business.<br /><br />As a matter of fact, life as a solider was quite cushy; I didn't make many decisions that had any personal consequences, unlike any one who runs a business. I found a career path in the Army that pretty much made me a free agent in Europe on a nice expense account. And almost 20 years of my service in the Army was either going to school or teaching school.<br /><br />Fat city. Enjoyed it. Your taxes. <br /><br />Kaffir<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
