Re: Should we Limit or Stop Having Children.

If we do nothing we probably will hit the fan within a hundred years.

That may be all that we have left, anyway, as something is likely to hit the earth in about 150 years. The USA is trying to build a space ship which can stop that.

Space may be the only answer, in that long term, as the finding of inhabitable planets and the development of Space travel could be all there is.

Overpopulation.
Sharia law.

To name but two.

It won't affect me as I shall not be here, but how sad that our country will have ceased to exist in its present form and will have become just another third-world country.

That's the way it was you cannot judge situations then by the more she of today .
Today an entirely different situation has arisen one that threatens not us but will certainly have a negative impact on our children and grandchildren .

I think the British Empire was the largest, comprised of countries all over the planet.

That's the thing that would concern me, but we don't have any.

If we had children, I would have encouraged them to emigrate before now to a country not under threat, such as Australia or New Zealand.
