that is why there is no future, because people think their right to breed is more important than the right of the earth to continue existing for more than a few more decades
everyone should be sterilized after producing one, and one child only, and people who volunteer to be sterilized before having any child should be given some economic bonus
however it will never happen because idiots on our side talk about choice and say that people should be able to pop out all the brats they want -- overlooking the reality that in the real world, intelligent and thoughtful and responsible people automatically have fewer children, so all they are doing by taking this stand is promoting the freedom of the rightwing extremist stupid people to continue to outbreed us
we are being outbred by fundamentalist fools because there is no "choice" in the real world, people are subject to social pressure, and weak-minded people fall prey to predatory religion, so while educated and responsible people do not breed or have only one child, the haters and the fools have 8
democracy becomes suicidal in such a world because we are creating a world where we will be inevitably out numbered by the weak minded and the stupid people
if you want a future where democracy can thrive, you can NOT support the right wing fucktards being allowed to outbreed the decent people who only give birth to a number of children they can rightfully support
but oh well people are happy to repeat the cant about "choice" even if it allows the other side to bury us
you notice that THEY don't talk about or permit "choice," there is no choice for them except to breed like flies so they can overwhelm us
look around you, it is not the smart thoughtful caring gifted people who are popping out eight babies, we all know this, it's time to stop lying about it to ourselves
