The Dark One Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 ^ When you put it like that' date=' the whole planet would be better off without humans.[/quote'] It really would honestly. We've had a worse impact on earth than a good one (however I don't fully believe the "Global Warming" theory). True that. I think George Carlin really nailed it in his sketch. XD The whole planet wouldn't be better off without humans. The whole planet doesn't care. It will adapt. Hell, compared to some of the volcanic activity that has happened in the past (I mean far back), what we're doing to the air is nothing. Earth will pull through anything and everything that we can do to it or on it. The part of the equation that might not pull through is the human life aspect. By destroying the environment as we know it, we're only destroying ourselves. Earth doesn't care. However, I do agree that we need to give China it's chance to get through the industrial age, while perhaps speeding up the process a bit. If we can pressure China into slowly implementing laws regarding the environment, and to keep upping the restrictions, they'll be doing fine in no time at all. However, at some point there's going to have be that overhaul, where China stops using Fossil Fuels, polluting, etc. And no matter where or when that happens, that's going to be big and painful. In a way it seems best to get it over with now, but seriously, the U.S. as yet to go through said overhaul, we can hardly expect China to. =] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willieh Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 Are they growing too fast? Or are we growing to slowly? That is the question we must ask ourselves. That's a bad question to ask ourselves. When it's deduced to a couple countries vs. the rest of the world, it's obvious that the problem originates from that of the singled out countries. We are growing at a normal pace, and they are raising their population like hamsters or some sheet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huntar! Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 what gives us the authority to say that we are growing at a good, or stable rate?

Of course majority rules. It's the way almost every government is set up.

They're not, through western perspective, power is much more relevant than numbers, efficiency reduces the need for numbers, so that power can be obtained with less of them. Power is beyond majority. Its also important to think about the first thing you countered, perception is relevant, you can count a Chinese life as equal to 5 other persons, and that makes the Chinese outnumber the rest. However, power is the key determiner in determining what is right, and when power is handed to a democracy, then the numbers are applied. Everything is shot around in that horribly crafted paragraph, but you get what I mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huntar! Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 eh.. you have a point, but not for long... since every second, 5 people are born, 2 chinese, 1 indian, and the other two are randomly assorted throughout the rest of the world. ... This is a stupid arguement over who has the majority rule to decide if China and India are growing too fast... Maybe in the chinese view of things, if the rest of the world just caught up, then there would be no 'too fast'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willieh Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 ^ You seem to have thought this out very well. But you fail to realize that power is nothing. Impact is more or less how i look at what's important. You are supposed to look at things as to which one will effect or change our world the most. Power is just a term. Power doesn't even exist unless you are talking about physical strength and ability. Power is a hypothetical existence we use to describe people that are nine feet up their own asses. I look at things the way one might look at things if he was a mix between a marxist and a republican. I look at it for the greater good and I don't stop to think about the small population that might catch the shitty end of the deal in this scenario. This wouldn't necessarily mean an ethinicity, or a religion, or an economical standpoint, but just the amount. The masses are much more important than the individual. Learn this.

My argument was that the mass is more important than the individual. I disagree, though I find the "leading" tactic you used in that last sentence to be an excellent usage of written language. What relevance are the masses when they are not given the right to speak? In America, majority is relevant, because that is where power is given to them. Do you really think that we can apply this to every place in the world, ones where kings and Tyrants have a trained elite ready and able to force the majority of the civillian's back into what the king wants them to do? That's what I'm trying to say. Oh, and on the Communism thing, it is not brainwashing to accept what is the truth, that you are no more a man than any other man no matter what the circumstances. It is not brainwashing to be given a decent way of thinking that helps everyone else as much as it helps you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deucalion Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 They have, to an extent, the right to life. However, to speed things up, euthanasia should be made legal everywhere, ditto for abortions (before 24 weeks, only though. After 24 weeks, the foetus's brain has evolved enough for conscious thought, making it human and deserving of human rights.) A one child policy would be enforced, and there would be a serious fine for breaking it. I'd also make contraception and sex ed much better taught at schools. Ah, if I was dictator of the world.
