i think this is the biggest double negative out there.
The earth is too populated, we need to put restrictions on how many babies a family can have
Life is such a wonderful thing, we need more of it, and raise a HUGE family, say no to war and abortions, say no to death and violence.
the 2 confilct each other.
i once asked a teacher:
"do you think the earth is over populated and if so, should there be limitartions on birth?"
Teacher: "well i do think the planet is overpopulated, thats no contest, but i dont realy think that people need to go as far to put limitations on birth.
Me: so you dissagree with China's rule of having 1 child per house hold?
Her: well.... i dont realy dissagree with it, 1.3 billion people is alot of people for that size of country.
Me:now your losing me. you disagree with birth limitations, but you agree with china's rule on birth?
her: i didnt say i agreed.
me: You said it indirectly, so it still counts.
her: why are you wasting your time asking me this when you need to do your work? your a smart kid but you need to concetrate on graduating.
me: now hang on, now isnt the time to disscuss my intelegence or what work that needs to be done, dont change the subject, im not finished, im curious as to what people think. Now what do you think of abortions.
Her: i think they are horrible and they need to be banned and all abortion clinics shut down.
Me: okay.. now what about war?
Her: after 2 world wars, and several fought on US soil, i think we have had enough.
Me: Okay, What do you think of families with 5 or more chileren, and we are asuming the childeren are in good families who can support them.
Her: well if the parents can support them i see no problem with it. I would have 2 more childeren if i was a few years younger and was able to support a few more. (she had 2 boys already)
Me: okay, now in the course of this little interview, you agreed that the earth is over populated, you dislike the idea of putting limitations on how many childeren a family can raise, you dissagree with war and you support larger families. do you realize how many times you contradicted yourself?
the remainder of class left her speechles and in awe. so i laugh my ass off when these people trying to ban abortions are supporting large families, but hate war and population control.
