	Darwinism, social and otherwise, still exists to a limited extent. Just look at all the people who died of disease, starvation, accidents, etc. each day. Again, please read up! Social Darwinism and eugenics has really nothing to do with the theory of evolution. -----signature----- Talk nerdy to me. mujaki na kao de boku ni hohoemu

	Think whatever you want, then. Just don't interfere with my rights. What matters is that I don't think it's selfish, and it's my decision. I'm guessing you don't neuter your pets either? -----signature----- im unbanned now awesome

	Yes, I do still feel the same way. The world's not worth living in if our freedoms are taken away. Sex and reproductive rights are basic freedoms. No one has the right to dictate what we do with our bodies. -----signature----- Join the Dark Chocolate Side!

No one has the right to dictate what we do with our bodies. Oh they don't huh? Okay, how about motorcycle restrictions? You must wear a helmet. Oh and how about seat belts? If I don't wanna use it, then that's my choice. How about sex in public? It's their choice. There's numerous other things they dictate about our bodies. I think your statement is highly flawed. -----signature----- Humor is my shield. Sarcasm my sword. The Changing Face of America: What can brown do for you?

If you don't want to wear a seatbelt and are over 16, sit in the back seat. Helmet/seatbelt regulations probably have more to do with liability than anything else. Sex is such a private issue. What two consenting adults do in the privacy of their homes, and if they chose to reproduce or not, is no one's business but their own. -----signature----- Join the Dark Chocolate Side!

	Can't use drugs in the PRIVACY of your own home. You can't smoke on your balcony and outside in some states. You can't prank phone call anyone. Can't make drug deals over the phone. Let's see, what else do they do to privacy. can't own a lot of guns without being suspicious. Can't make your own alcohol (though why would you want to?) Actually, it's illegal to have oral sex in Maryland (it's true, it's true). Oh, you can't have euthenasia. It's illegal to commit suicide. HA! Funny thing. Why would they prevent people from doing that? Stupid stupid stuff. Oh, here's one thing you can do in Maryland. You can hit your wife so long as the bruise is no larger than a thumb. Still think your home is all that private? -----signature----- Humor is my shield. Sarcasm my sword. The Changing Face of America: What can brown do for you?

	i completely agree. maybe this is off topic, but i really really hate when people tell me i'm selfish because i don't want kids. IM SELFISH?! if children are such little bundles of joy, why don't more people adopt? oh that's right, because you want your little "mini-me"'s. i won't and i can't try to stop people from having kids, but this is my opinion: people who want kids are really the ones who are being selfish. give me any excuse, ANY excuse, and i'll prove it to you. Depends on your reason for not having kids. If you don't want to devote the time to raising any child, I guess that could be considered selfish, but it's your choice. And I don't think there's anything wrong with wanting the experience of creating a life, or lives, with the person you love. -----signature----- Join the Dark Chocolate Side!

	Overpopulation may not seem like a huge problem in countries with low populations but with more people in third world countries, they might destroy rainforests and stuff like that, which makes a huge global impact. In India, Bangledesh and Brazil, it's a serious problem. So it's really important to educate those poor people not to reproduce so much. In Italy, they encourage couples to have a third child but I forgot what incentive the government gave them. They should encourage adoption too. Choice is good.

	They are encouraging children in Italy because the birth rate has fallen waayyy below teh replacement rate. My assertion has been that the UN projects world population to peak at 9-10 Billion, before leveling off or declining. There will be enough resources and technology to sustain that population. The fears of 30 years ago of a runaway exponential growth have been reconsidered, and left behind. -----signature----- SERENITY NOW!!

	Red Seven: I think we were talking about fossil fuels earlier, we still don't have the technology to replace that, and I doubt we will in the next 50-100 years. Then again, I could be wrong Rebecca: Aren't you being a little bit contradictory? Plus, if people were so concerned for the "common good" and being "selfless" then I bet we'd all be dead. -----signature----- I'm a sock

	Free birth control and education that stresses how important it is, is the way to prevent unwanted and neglected children. Not people who want to bear their own children giving that up. -----signature----- Join the Dark Chocolate Side!

	By the time we run out of fossil fuels, we won't need them anymore.
