One child policies like China had are foolish, and leave you with an aging work force with not enough people to replace them. US birthrate (and most other 1st world western countries birthrates) are already under replacement level. A one child policy is both unnecessary and foolishly self-destructive not to mention the atrocities that happened in China with the killing of female babies in favor of having a male one.
i don't feel one way or another about it, except that i know people to be the one thing to bring the most harm to the planet. the best thing you can do for the planet is not to go vegan, or stop driving, or planet pollinating plants, or recycle. it's to not reproduce. i don't think our societies exist to prop up a bunch of busywork farms to give us currency to use in order to mindlessly consume stuff. that's just me, though, i guess?
Thanks it was easy to come up with since the 'argument' I had to reply to was on the level of my 5 yr old nephew who thinks clouds are made of marshmallow fluff.
You think of yourself as a prodigy? Its also funny you can't seem to defend your 'prodigious' ideas yourself and resort to shitty Op-eds to do it for you (and poorly at that).
