fking e-petitions.

I should start an e-petition to get rid of e-petitions, but then the universe would implode due to the irony.

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.

So we should all just stop having kids then?

This is a very good point.

Surely it's only retards who chuck out insults instead of addressing points made by others with reasoned argument?

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.

Suggesting that the act of having children is pollution is ridiculous. As much as I don't agree with the governments "attempts" at reducing pollution, nor many aspects of the welfare state, your post still didn't warrant any response beyond what I gave.

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?

It's pretty obvious that having children is not in itself an act of pollution, but children consume resources and doing so inevitable causes pollution, how much pollution can you think of in this world that is not man-made. More people equals more pollution.

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.

[Disco You]

I agree that people cause pollution, anything else is an untenable position. This is why pointing it out is ridiculous.

Suggesting that the welfare state causes pollution because it encourages people to have more children is a logical fallacy.
