Women ...Marriage is just plan not worth it anymore. Women want only the top 20% of men and plain ignore all the other men in their 20's until they begin to get baby crazy. Only now its those men who women will *settle* with. We either become players ourselves. Or we've already tuned them out as we've moved on in life ans are happy to have our freedom (mgtow). Either way I'm not sympathetic to them or society. <br /><br />Enjoy the decline!<br /><br /> RorakAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-12613905573837945822013-02-04T05:56:25.501-08:002013-02-04T05:56:25.501-08:00Thank you for the clarifications.

I did not mean to suggest that the famine was caused by overpopulation-- there is no doubt but that it was caused by Mao's Great Leap Forward.<br /><br />The Telegraph article is very interesting, though I do not quite understand why China will need a century to increase its population. It doesn't take that much time to enact and implement a two-child policy, or am I missing something?Stuart Schneidermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12784043736879991769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-88631357448730182702013-02-04T05:28:39.451-08:002013-02-04T05:28:39.451-08:00"In the early 1906s China suffered a famine t..."In the early 1906s China suffered a famine that killed around 35 million people."<br /><br />Famines aren't caused by overpopulation.

There is, I believe a growing number of reasons why this is beginning to occur. It is the reason I included the link I did in my previous comment. Question; What happens to men with Low T? Along that line of questioning. Why do they tell men with Low T to ensure that women are not in contact with the testosterone replacement medications that treat Low T? If testosterone has an adverse affect of women would the converse of that not be a possibility? <br />It is an interesting problem which has far to many paths to follow effectively at the moment, but for one who likes to extrapolate ideas to their ultimate conclusion it opens a large number of paths to follow.<br />I don't think we have reached the point of no return yet though just think of the economic impact if men and women begin to ignore marriage. Children not being born, the need for homes for families, schools, and an every expanding group of things that will no longer be needed. <br />This is not to even address the affect on the survival of the species. It maybe that when one tries to fool Mother Nature (GOD) one gets made a fool by Mother Nature (GOD.)Dennishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14962996070458991675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-92079858430571193752013-02-02T20:21:51.620-08:002013-02-02T20:21:51.620-08:00I've been reading a fair bit about this phenom...I've been reading a fair bit about this phenomenon lately. Here are a couple of links to help anyone who wants to read a few more stats and comments:<br /><br />http://www.economist.com/node/21526329<br /><br />http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2013-02-01/japan%E2%80%99s-demographic-disaster<br /><br />Most of the discussion at those two posts relates to economic considerations. Elsewhere, I've read an argument that people in Asia are figuring that the costs of having children have come to outweigh the benefits, and are therefore finding no compelling reason to marry. The speed of this change is cultures which were highly family-oriented has been astounding.<br /><br />There's something else to add to the mix: the possibility that men and women are no longer much interested in each other -- at least not enough to make the effort at building a life together. The WSJ reported that 36% of males aged 16 to 19 surveyed described themselves as "indifferent or adverse" to having sex -- a 19% increase since 2008. <br /><br />http://blogs.wsj.com/japanrealtime/2011/01/13/no-sex-please-were-young-japanese-men/<br /><br />In North America, some think this is partly because men have figured out marriage is a ticket to institutionalized exploitation, and suspect that women secretly hate them. Some observers report women are delaying marriage until their 30's, only to find out the men they want to marry don't much want them anymore. (There is a ton of internet material available on those two points - plus numerous other possible influences.)<br /><br />Whether or not we understand the huge trend in Asia toward childlessness and the single life may be immaterial. There may be nothing anyone can do to stop it, no matter how good our information is, or how much we endorse the societal value of the traditional family.<br /> Lastangonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-86169601446565602272013-02-02T15:30:44.343-08:002013-02-02T15:30:44.343-08:00The Bible considers children a gift of God.

My fellow baby-boomers who are childless are now facing a lonely retirement with devalued retirement plans and a social security/medicare system that is unsustainable. Who will care for them? We see what is happening to aging societies. The US is actually better off than most nations but once we cease to be innovative, we are doomed. Perhaps someone can create robot children.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04779989953563193520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-87547335287467615442013-02-02T10:09:16.096-08:002013-02-02T10:09:16.096-08:00We may have a much larger problem than the decisio...We may have a much larger problem than the decision about the need for a "Baby Boom" or not. http://www.livescience.com/17028-prostate-cancer-risk-birth-control.html<br /><br />Though the results are inconclusive right now if one considers what providing free birth control to larger and larger numbers of women might do we may not be able to make the above decision because we won't have the capability especially since sperm counts seem to be going down for some reason.<br />Large cities are inundated with estrogen and it has to go somewhere, Just a cursory look at some of the food ingredients is interesting.<br />Just something to ponder while we watch the continuing failure of the "blue model."Dennishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14962996070458991675noreply@blogger.com
