I am no closer to finding the answer, however, it has become apparent that contentment is certainly a realizable goal. I find these results to be adequate, if not pleasing. Unfortunately, connection is another subject entirely. When one has sufficiently examined the mind and their emotional constructs, connection can be easily imitated. More data must be gleaned and further collated before a sufficient judgment can be reached.

And since its not a problem over here, I don't see why we need to enact any laws or such. Ayuh. So how do you control the babiez in Asia and India? I think one ought to look at northern Europe, where in some places, IIRC, they're having quite the babie squeeze, no? Why is that? We can't just say it's nature for people to **** and pop out the chillids all around the world, because it's certainly not the case. What would make China more like scandinavia? 3 major things: - Inexpensive and convenient access to all forms of immediate contraception, abortion if necessary. - Long-term economic development / recovery. - Promotion and advancement of the rights of women on a large scale, including civil rights and contraceptive rights. O' course, such things might not take root so very easily, especially #3. Which is why we've got cultural imperialism. It's like imperialism, but hip.

Rosbjerg Posted May 9, 2007 Posted May 9, 2007 ^ The birthrate is 1,7 in Scandinavia and 1,6 for the rest of the industrial world (on average).. We aren't really churning out babies in a higher frequency (unfortunately) - longer education is the main reason why these numbers drop and the winter here in the northern hemipshere is the main reason why it's higher!

Walsingham Posted May 9, 2007 Posted May 9, 2007 Actually, in my opinion the principle problem is not a lack of space, but an inability of most economies to keep up with the birth rate. This is creating millions of angry jobless young men. And historically that usually leads to some huge assed war. Which would be bad, m'kay. "It wasn't lies.

metadigital Posted May 9, 2007 Posted May 9, 2007 There needed to be two "Other" options in the main questions, because the existing answers don't cover my response.

Kaftan Barlast Posted May 9, 2007 Posted May 9, 2007 This is meant for Americans, isnt it? We Swedes dont even have a Social Security fund (not exactly anyway) DISCLAIMER: Do not take what I write seriously unless it is clearly and in no uncertain terms, declared by me to be meant in a serious and non-humoristic manner. If there is no clear indication, asume the post is written in jest. This notification is meant very seriously and its purpouse is to avoid misunderstandings and the consequences thereof. Furthermore; I can not be held accountable for anything I write on these forums since the idea of taking serious responsability for my unserious actions, is an oxymoron in itself. Important: as the following sentence contains many naughty words I warn you not to read it under any circumstances; botty, knickers, wee, erogenous zone, psychiatrist, clitoris, stockings, bosom, poetry reading, dentist, fellatio and the department of agriculture.

Blank Posted May 9, 2007 Posted May 9, 2007 Social Security isn't a problem to me because I've grown up hearing about how I will not get anything from it and how I'll actually have to pay for everyone older than me who was promised money. I could care less, as long as we get rid of the crappy system as soon as possible and let people be financially responsible on their own. People should be competent enough to save up their own money and make their own financial plans.
