  1. It's not about money. It's about stressing our planet, it's resources and your global neighbor. What if your 9 kids have 9 kids each. That's 81 humans. That's more that my AND my wifes sides of the family, including BOTH mother and father's sides..... TIMES 2. ...See where the problem is. Now look out 100 years.... ________________________________________ "What What.....
  2. No video? Where is it... i wanna see..... ________________________________________ "What What.....
  3. So is no one going to step in and argue the other side? ________________________________________ "What What.....
  4. Maybe this should be applied world wide? I don't know. We can all start by doing our own part. ________________________________________ "What What.....
  5. "the total fertility rate in the US and in most industrialized countries is below the level needed to maintain a stable population" Then why did the US population DOUBLE in 40 years....? ________________________________________ "What What.....
  6. Shit. I put 0. Maybe it didn't like it. 0 for me ________________________________________ "What What.....
  7. I spout 1 number, and I admitted to it's source, that of being arbitrary. I support anyone having children. I will have 2 of my own I hope, someday. Children are a blessing, a gift, a wonderful facet of life. Let us also be aware of the environment we are introducing them into. Ok, so for arguments sake, lets say I'm wrong. I would like to see the other side presented. Please convince me why 2+ kids are ok. This is a factual, social and moral issue. It's difficult, I think we all agree, to quantify and ascertain what is the best path for sustainable human existence. I don't plan to solve it. I only aim to make people look at their choices and see the affects on the global community. ________________________________________ "What What.....
  8. Because the United States resides on Planet Earth. That is a foolish statement. ________________________________________ "What What.....
  9. Please read my posts. I don't claim that parents are "getting away" with anything. I am no authority, just a human on a planet that we all share. I take it you have 2+ kids. Please justify why having more children than to replace yourself is conscious, responsible and respectful of your neighbors and your planet? ________________________________________ "What What.....
  10. from the following discussion. http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=2521766;sb=post_latest_reply;so=ASC;forum_view=forum_view_collapsed;;page=unread#unread ________________________________________ "What What.....
  11. Again.... it's a deterrent. The money has no significance. It's to prohibit people from making irresponsible decisions. Are you honestly saying that 4-6 kids is a good thing? Justify this if you are. ________________________________________ "What What.....
  12. Granted they pay for their use, as they well should. Agreed? This isn't about money or a tax in the larger sense. This is the only way I could think of to help people realize the affects of overpopulation, since education obviously doesn't work. I'm talking about stressing the model of a sustainable earth. More farmlands needed for more food for more mouths. Forrests slashed to accommodate these. More waste and methane from more animals. More oil exploration (and attributed wars) for more gas, for more cars. More sweat shops and more children needed to produce more clothes to bundle your 5th kid. More open space bulldozed to make room for more hospitals and doctors offices, and rising health care costs. I'm talking about putting more cows in a pen. You don't think that stresses the environment of the cows? This is everyone’s problem. The Earth is a finite space. ________________________________________ "What What.....
  13. I did make up the number. I don't have the time or resources to figure out what amount to tax, and how you could actually quantify that. But if calculated, it would most certainly be higher than that. Again at the very least "maybe this proposed tax will be a deterrent for those who reproduce like rabbits " What business is it of mine...? Are you serious? How do people and over population affect me.... you....? Do you like to sit in traffic? Do you like urban sprawl? Do you like endangered species? Do you like bio-manufactured chicken? The world population doubled in 40 years.... don't you think that's a problem? Project out 80 years.... even if it doesn't double. Where are we goning to put all those people? What are we going to feed them with? Look bigger than your family. ________________________________________ "What What.....
  14. I’m not against life, families, or children. Obviously there should be a grace period of 10 months from the taxes inception to consider the currently pregnant. And of course instances of nature like triplets or higher should be exempt. Let’s be human about this. ________________________________________ "What What.....
  15. I'm not asking the government to interfere, I'd be the last. However, you have to admit that if people cannot be responsible themselves, someone needs to step in. People are not numbers. They are fingerprints of the divine. However, we all need to be conscious of our environment, and our neighbors. Having more children than enough to replace your own family is a negative contribution to the planet and human existence. ________________________________________ "What What.....
  16. Agreed. The current situation a tax break is ludicrous. The number is arbitrary. I wanted it high enough to make prohibitive to have more than 2 children, more than an actual itemized tax. ________________________________________ "What What.....
  17. I propose a one-time tax of $179,000 per child (at birth) for those couples, who are socially irresponsible enough to have more than 2 children. Currently our government rewards greedy families for overpopulation. They give them tax credits for straining our schools, our teachers, and our children’s quality of learning. The government gives large families an incentive to deplete our drinkable water supply, and encourages them to contribute to urban sprawl. Apparently our government rewards our planets imminent demise instead of supporting a sustainable population I currently live in Utah, home to the nation’s highest average family size, where many many many families have 4 children and often up to 9. No matter what state or country you live in, having more than 2 children is extremely irresponsible and ignorant to our current global situation. Resources are stressed, wildlife and open lands are being encroached on, good intentioned government programs are being overcrowded, and food is becoming scarce and more importantly, grossly unnatural. Many of our world’s current problems can be attributed to overpopulation. My proposition of a tax for those who feel the urge to have more than 2 children puts the inherent responsibility of paying more to those who use more. They alone choose to stress our schools, our transportation systems, increase our air pollution, deplete our oceans of marine life, permanently destroy our open lands, and aide global warming. This greed, this addiction to have more than 2 children needs to stop now. Right now. I’m not against life, families, or children. Obviously there should be a grace period of 10 months from the taxes inception to consider the currently pregnant. And of course instances of nature like triplets or higher should be exempt. Let’s be human about this. We all need to be conscious of our environment, our neighbor’s quality of life and how we as individuals affect our surroundings. Having more children than enough to replace you and your spouse is a negative contribution to the planet and human existence. This tax’s dollar figure has no basis and if it did would be extremely higher. Think about all the needs of one individual, both personal and societal. At the very least, maybe this proposed tax will be a deterrent for those who reproduce like rabbits for whatever reason they believe. (note: people, you don’t need farmhands anymore) edited: to delete attachment of random 10 kid family that didn't need to be my poster child. ________________________________________ "What What.....

  23. Nice Pictures. I spent 1 month in Split, and Hvar last year. It has been one of my favorite places to visit. It's difficult to describe the people and the natural rugged beauty of that part of the world. I was on Hvar, drinking a beer, and seriously considered not returning to the US. Thanks for sharing your pictures. PS. I am going to develop your close up picture of the fruit stand and put it in my kitchen because it's so colorful!
