I've always maintained that breeding needs to be licensed. You need a license to drive, own a firearm, hell in some countries you need a license to own a goddamned TV. A breeding license with forced sterilization and tax penalties for non-compliance would eliminate this problem in a complete fair and equitable way.
- oldmanjay 11y agoIt's not often you can put "forced sterilization" and "completely fair" in the same sentence and be correct. In my opinion, you didn't pull it off here.
- guard-of-terra 11y agoThere's a huge hole in your logic: countries where law is upheld already have reproduction rate lower than needed to stabilize. And most of overpopulation is in countries where law is... episodic. Imagine "tax penalties" in Kongo or Nigeria where people live off ground on less than 2$/day. Funny.
- laichzeit0 11y agoThat's why I inserted the clause "forced sterilization". How do you stop someone from having a family of 5-7 children who's dirt poor, uneducated and believes it's part of their culture to be "prosperous" through progeny?
- ars 11y agoYou are trying to solve a non-existent problem. Not only is that pointless, your solution wouldn't even work if the problem did exist.
- laichzeit0 11y agoYou clearly have not lived in Africa if you think it's a non-existent problem.
- Bostonian 11y agoWhen someone from the government comes to your home to have you sterilized against your will, you have the right to resist by any means necessary.
