Banning contraception in areas with declining population

Post by Pu-239 »

This is a stupid idea. I mean we have too many people in the world. Europe should just accept more immigrants.

What idiot would ban contraception in low-population areas? Is this some kind of political idea where you live?

Until your population greys into irrelevant old age and shrinks to the point of economic irrelevance. You people are going to go downhill fast unless you can do something--upping the birth rate or accepting more immigrants--to keep your population from shrinking and greying out
In fact, that's already happening. The population in Portugal (and in the E.U, I believe) has increased this last two years after more than a decade of slow shrinking, due to the new wave of emmigrants from Eastern Europe. It's a very good thing too, because they are highly educated (almost all of them with college degrees) and merge in society very quickly.

So, we don't have with them the kind of exclusion and poverty problems that we have with others.

Eastern Europe will provide the injection of new blood the E.U is needing, with new members like Poland.

That's a great idea. Instead of trying to rebuild their native populations they just accept non-european immigrants who don't give a shit about their traditions and culture. Gee, just invite more fundamentalist muslims into Europe so they can take it over like they tried in the 8th and 14th to 17th centuries.

tradition is not important. culture evolves. our culture has evolved and is still evolving from a german only country to a country with germans, turks, pols, erithreans......
what´s the problem? they´re not taking over europe. they live here and become europeans. a lot of people i know who have turkish parents are german. they dont have anything to do with turkey. they´ve got a german passport, speak perfect german, are drafted.....

how would you rebuild a native population anyway? people here dont
want to have children. you cant force them to have any -> get people from other countries who work here, pay taxes and by that ensure my pension.

Why doesn't the US just deprt all it's illegal aliens to Europe? It would be cheaper than the government giving them medicare benefits, food stamps, and public education.

Banning contraceptives in areas of declining population.....hm.......NO! I think that theu should be enforced, even, if possible, but certain cases for other reasons than others.

Sadly, not all in the EU are accepting immigrants. In Italy there is a FUCKING MORONIC law voted by the neo-fascist majority that states that only the extra-EU people who already have a work in italy can get permission to stay in Italy.

Fucking morons. I'll get somewhere else as soon as I finish university.

Right.. It's not an argument. IT'S A GOD DAMNED FACT.

The population in Portugal has again crossed the 10 million barrier, after 20 years below it.

And most immigrants that get into here nowadays are from Ucrain and alike. AND ARE PEOPLE WITH EDUCATION, mostly because they're the ones who can afford to pay the trip/illegal entrance to their respective mobs.

I never produced any arguments. I said what was happening. Unless there is a massive portuguese media conspiracy you're aware and I'm not.

Er I don't think declining population in Europe and US while a rising population in the totalarian state called china and other countries which have indoctrinated their people is a good thing. Is china's population decreasing? and how fast compared to Europe, US? Then again I'm just a paranoid freak.

Unfortunately, not all the immigrants to European countries are so benign. There was an al Qaeda cell busted in Germany, and the infamous "Shoe Bomber" was a member of a London (or Londonistan, as it's rapidly becoming known) mosque. I agree that we shouldn't limit immigration based upon any criteria (other than absolute numbers), but culture is important. That's one reason the United States tend not to hold together well, because they have vastly different cultures. Florida is quite different from North Carolina or New York or Alaska.

As I recall the exploding shoe man was a long-term UK resident petty criminal who converted to terrorism (Islam) while in prison. His case is an inditement of the UK's inability to keep sufficient track of people who convert to terrorism but has very little to do with the pros and cons of immigration in general.
