The Bible states "be fruitful and multiply..." That was during a time when there were barely a million people on the planet. Not something that you should take literally in today's world faced with a resource crisis.
Today, in a world filled to the brim with billions of humans that unlike our fellow inhabitants do not participate in the natural food chain. Thus, no natural predators to keep our population in check. We actually recognize the dangers of overpopulation in the animal kingdom and actively participate in regular slaughters designed to restore balance. But it's funny how we don't apply that same mentality to the human race.
Resource shortages in the near future, as a result of continued population growth, will make thinking "every life is precious and has a right to life" become the biggest failure in human history. I'm not a communist but China has it right by limiting the number of children a couple can have. Do you really need more than one child? Growing up I knew people who got pregnant on purpose just so they can get a welfare check. And these people would have like 10 kids... none of which they could afford to feed and properly take care of.
I believe the death penalty should be standard for ANYONE who premeditates a murder. I don't want my hard earned tax dollars going to housing and feeding these people who, in my opinion, lost their right to life. Prisoners (who are sentenced to LIFE in prison) should be considered free labor (slaves) and made to spend the rest of their lives stripped of their basic human rights. Am I saying bring back slavery? Not exactly but if you want crime to go down, that kind of consequence is as good of a deterrent to crime as any ever thought up. Some may cry out that it would take away from jobs but do you want a job cleaning up a toxic waste dump? Are you going to run out and apply to clean up a polluted landfill? My point exactly. Will you commit a crime knowing you could be forced to work in such dangerous and unhealthy conditions?
I'm getting off topic here... the more overpopulation continues to go unchecked, the closer we get to nature correcting the situation for us. And in ways that would be considered catastrophic. Disease, wars, and pandemics are on the rise. Most of the pandemics we are seeing started in nature.... while some were man-made. We make movies about some idiot in a science lab playing around with a super-virus, then the virus gets out and it's bye-bye human civilization as you know it.
I won't mention my support for abortion as that speaks for itself. My point is that there are too many people on this planet and just like we control "pests" by sanctioning killings to bring the populations back under control, we should sanction mass genocide to help protect the availability of our natural resources for the next generations to come.
I'm a realist and a clairvoyant. Respect the planet you live on for you are at it's mercy. Whether you agree or not. The time of man will have it's day of judgement. This planet is dying and nature is struggling to adapt. Eventually, nature will take care of the "problem".
PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR HISTORY!!!
Earth has experienced TWO mass extinctions and is over due for a "reboot". You can choose to believe what I say or not. But what I think or say won't matter once all of mankind is faced with the reality of its own destruction.
... whether by man itself or by the very planet we depend on for survival.
Like I said, this post may outrage some people but free speech and the right to express oneself is a god-given right. I have a right to my opinion and you have yours. The difference is... I RESPECT everyone's opinion (whether I agree or not), but very few people have the maturity needed to respect others.
To make it clear, I don't sanction genocide but enacting population control for the sole purpose of restoring the human population to a SUSTAINABLE level is critical to the long-term availability of our natural resources. Otherwise, mass extinction will happen on it's own anyway... as it is already in isolated occurrences.
- Famine
- World Wars (over resources)
- Natural Disasters (occurring more frequently)
- Fresh Water Depletion (coming soon to a water source near you, if things don't change)
- Plagues/Pandemics
What I believe does not matter as the future will take care of itself. Hopefully, I'll be long dead by the time of worst of it becomes a reality for mankind.
The Black Sovereign Journal | Overpopulation
Dear Sovereign: I am new to this site and just exploring my sub side. I have to sa i admire your clarity of thought and your courage at expressing controversial ideas. I would like to comment on a few of the points you make.
ReplyDeleteIt is not that humans have no natural predators, but that we have developed ways to defend ourselves. I dont mean we kill the lions (although that applies) but the plagues and pandemics you talk about, like HIV or SARS function in fact as predators that return us to the food chain in a way. However, as devastating as this plagues are, they have no comparison with plagues such as the Bubonic Plague, cholera outbreaks, or Influenza of centuries past because we have developed methods to defend ourselves, manage public health, and reduce and manage this events.
I do not advocate allowing diseasse to spread in order to curtail overpopulation, but i agree with you that in the same way we have learned to manage diseasse as a public health issue we need to start addressing overpopulation before is to late. Easier said than done. Can you imagine the outcry in the US black or hispanic population ( I am latino) if the goverment told us we had to limit our households to one or two kids?
i hope i was not too presumptuous, and that my comments do not offend. Nothing is further from my intention.
No, Roberto you were not and I do appreciate your comments. I wrote that about 4 years ago and my position on that has not changed. But I am now very aware that nature will take care of the problem on its own...
ReplyDeleteDear Sovereign. I feel honored that you read my comment and deigned to answer it. I have just discovered your site as it is late in life that i am alowing myself to explore my sub tendencies. Frankly i have been VERY impresed by your inteligence and clarity of thought, as well as your exeptional communication skills. Frankly at the moment i feel a little overwhelmed both by what i am learning about the lifestyle, as well as by what I am feeling. I want to gather my thoughts and perhaps make other comments on the site. I hope this is ok with you, as I would not like to take your time or knowledge for granted.
ReplyDeleteYou may comment most definitely. I encourage feedback and if what I am sharing helps you grow into your true self then you are not taking my time and knowledge for granted.
ReplyDeleteI wish you luck in your journey. My advice is to not be afraid of change... embrace it. You may stumble every once in awhile but that's how we learn and grow.
