E-Petition to stop Reduction of Motorway Speed Limit
Discussion
Hmm, can't say I feel too strongly about this one way or the other , although admittedly I generally stick to 60 ish anyway. What annoys me though is the glaring inconsistency and unwillingness to address the real issues in terms of pollution, they have all these green taxes and quotas and yet the most polluting thing you can do - have a child - will get you decades of handouts from the government.

Well I suppose you have demonstrated the crux of the issue, that politicians won't touch the fundamental problem of overpopulation because people like you are given the same voting rights as those with triple digit IQs.We either have democracy or we don't: making people "qualify" to vote does not constitute democracy.
You're questioning my intelligence whilst posting the most ridiculous statements I have read for a long time. Hilarious.
Anyway, we're quite far off topic now, so feel free to start another thread where we can discuss how intelligent I am, and how ridiculous the statements you've made here are.

We gather that you disagree with what SoilPants said, and we also gather that you are unable to put forward a cogent argument against it. Ridiculing what you are unable to argue against is itself ridiculous.
You want me to put forward an argument against suggesting that people shouldn't have kids on the basis that it is "polluting"? Really?Disco You said:

You want me to put forward an argument against suggesting that people shouldn't have kids on the basis that it is "polluting"? Really?Now you may well feel that you are entitled to have children, and you may as well, everybody else is doing it too. But the claim that having children does not lead, inevitably, to more pollution is something that needs some logical support, not just ridicule of opposing positions.
