Thread Name: BS: The Basic Causes of Western Stupidity
Subject: RE: BS: The Basic Causes of Western Stupidity
Unless all countries in the world bring in some form of birth control things will get worse. The more people there are the less there is to go round, with the inevitable shortages, famines, and wars. The real stupidity is the failure to recognise this undenyable fact. As acts of compassion and humanity we help people have clean water to drink, we innoculate them against diseases which for years have killed their kith and kin. What happens then is more people survive, more resources are needed, more wars are fought over water, or oil, and more people are killed. Makes you wonder if it was worth saving them in the first place.
Stupidity is not just a western disease, we just seem to be better at being stupid than others.
