The most recent woman called me a bigot and an ignorant "non-feminist" because I said people like that Duggans need to be stopped before they have 18 kids. I don't know why people believe that it impinges on their "personal freedom" to say that they should limit their reproduction. Last time I checked, most people don't believe that laws to prevent you from shooting eachother didn't limit personal freedom, and overpopulation is essentially killing us all.

I've never understood quite what the relentless pursuit of economic growth *really* achieves anyway... Higher inflation? Higher levels of personal "wealth"? A happier society? Now I'm no economist (blah blah blah), but... with lacking education, health and welfare systems in this country already, wouldn't it make more sense to re-asses the way the country manages it's existing cashflow, rather than just increasing that cashflow (and all the associated costs) with population growth?

Intriguing – I’d never picked you as proponent of self-annihiliation dude.

Human culling based on IQ level and the amount of times they made this monkey angry. That’s what I’ve been saying all along.
