Quote: What do you think of 'government control" of the population?
You've said this several times. Please show me where Fatman advocates, or even suggests, "government control of the population." I can't find it anywhere. Neither can anyone else. Please explain, oh enlightened one.
On page 5 of this thread he writes...."I dont believe in providing food aid to countries that arent "controling their poplulation."
on page 6 he writes...."I think that if developing countries "controlled their population" they would get out of povery faster.
Now if you dont understand that government population control is the most dangerous concept anywhere in the political spectrum, then there is no need to go any further.
Even for the reasons espoused by fatman (ending poverty) the ends could never justify the means. And my question taht no one here has the guts to answer is "what would those means have to be in order to accomplish Fatmans goal of 'controling the population? One need to look no farther that China to get the answer.
He also said that hel believes that if you cannot afford children then you should not have the RIGHT to have them. Granting basic rights only to those who can afford them. Sounds alot like the communist manifesto....."from each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs'........except it is the government who decides which is which.
Now, do you agree with Fatman or not. Or will you too exercise your right to slilence.
