Mornin', char.

Never said you were. But you are chiding those who are exercising caution in how to respond on this issue for not believing the 'experts', like Ehrlich and Gore, and for not being sufficiently alarmed.

No. I don't get that sense at all.

The rest of the world did NOT take the drastic action of forced sterilizations and forced abortions and to a very great extent that worked, too.

char: "In contrast to the actual history, we get your usual "I don't want to believe it". It was your example, I showed how it supported me and not you, and you can't handle it."


No, you simply asserted that it supported you. I provided counter examples to China and India, namely the rest of the world, which did not take such drastic action and still lowered population growth. Contrary to Ehrlich's predictions, there are far less famines despite exponential population growth, even in India and China. There is NOT mass starvation. On the contrary, there is an overabundance of food and a problem with obesity. That's 'actual history'.

I know you'd prefer to talk about gays; is that because you sense you argument with me is not going well? ;)
