Viktorkrum77 Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Ok, this is an interesting question. Even though America's population is no where near China's, we still end up having a lot of kids who are in foster homes and such because they were born into poor families who couldn't support them financially. My question is, how would you feel if America adopted a one child act? Or a two child act? How do you think this would help or hurt America? I'm against the idea personally, but I'm not against putting a cap on the amount of children one can have. Me doing staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baron8000 Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 No, look at what it did in China Hugely more sustainable population policies are available which are often much more successful - Kerala in India is a perfect example Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gedboy2112 Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 How about bush starts caring about the children ( I am 1, Im 10 years old) and starts giving schools and parents with children better funding and if he needs money raise the tabbocheo tax!

Celt23 Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 I don't like the idea, but it wouldn't do any harm. It would prevent overpopulation and people having to move to Antarctica and start the sovereign nation called The Federal Republic of Antarctica, because the other continents are too densely populated.

Ohhhh but it would, it screwed up china's population demographic so terribly they still haven't recovered. If people want a more detailed outline then post so.

(I know bad speling) Look, I am on the Hate bush boat too, but I'm not to sure you know what would go into more funding. Taxes would be raised, again, and more poor families would suffer paying higher taxes. Also, we're already in severe debt, shooting money out of our [wagon], we can't really afford it. Now if we could pull those Goddam troops out of Iraq, we might be onto something. My Farewell thread. Please post nicely, or die. :^_^:Yea, I'd vote for him too.

Tigra00 Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 If anything, I could see a two child policy. There are some religious people who have as many kids as they possibly can because they feel it's their duty...The lady across the street has 9 kids last I heard, and that was several years ago. It's absolutely disgusting. Noone needs that many kids. The popularity of any given religion today depends on the victories of the wars they fought in the past. - Me!

Sumpta Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 I'm not sure about the situation in America, but in Europe we kinda need a system the other way around, forcing people to have more kids, like in the marriage thread. Not that I care much for being turned into a breeding mare, mind you. We have a reverse population pyramid in my country and the western part of Europe. More and more older people and less and less younger ones to support them. It looks like it's going to be a real problem, us 20 year olds are being scared into saving for our older days already, whereas my grandparents and parents enjoy(ed) goverment-payed pensions. The problem: there was a population boost with the baby boom versus high educated people nowadays, who choose a career above kids/family.

darkmage099 Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 No. We don't. Besides, if we only had one child, would that not decrease our population drastically? However, I am in support of two plans 1. You have to pay a certain amount to have a child, or prove you have a stable job or something. I am not sure about the details, but I am sure we could think of something. 2. You have to take a test to have a kid. If you fail...you can have...a dog. IF you fail miserably...you can have a turtle? Trix.--quit WoW as of 12/07Thank you 4be2jue for the wonderful sig and avatar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timmay929 Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 They need to have it that if you are getting financial help from the state, you should have a limit. Mexicans are coming over here and having tons of kids, and pretty much gettting paid to do it, and half of them aren't even citizens, so they don't pay taxes, and their kids who can't speak a lick of English, go to school for free. 122 Combat : 99 Hits : 99 Attack : 99 Strength97/99 Defence : 99 Fletching : 99 Woodcutting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
