Opinions/Editorials Title: Eugenics and Abortion I see and have seen passionate as well as sometimes intelligent discussions about these issues for years,but NEVER see any pros to oppose the cons. So I am going to state some in order to start a discussion where the OTHER side of the arguments is also stated. We all know the anti-eugenics and anti-abortion points,and they ALL seem to be based entirely on emotions and religious beliefs. The Eugenics people base their argument on some pretty solid facts,namely that there is a finite amount of resources available on the planet,and the sick,the lame,the stupid,and the lazy use up more than their fair share and contribute nothing in return in a modern world where grunt labor has very little value to societies,and has less value with each passing year. In addition there are birth rates to consider,and no one can argue that the most productive and educated societies produce fewer babies than the ignorant and backwards societies,therefore creating a situation where unless things change radically there will be a tiny minority of the world population that will essentially be working and denying themselves the joys of larger families and more productive nations in order to provide food,shelter,clothing,medical care,comfort,and entertainment for a massive population of people who are little more advanced than cave men,and who have no interest in advancing any further or even taking care of themselves because the advanced and industrious people's and nations will take care of them. The planet Earth is a closed system and there can be no question about there being a finite amount of resources available,regardless of how many people need or demand those resources for themselves. The abortion and eugenics people don't seem to want to say this out loud,but you don't have to have a Doctorate in Sociology to understand that at some point the needy will outnumber the providers by a massive percentage of the world's population because they are breeding like rabbits while the providers are limiting their family sizes in order to provide more comfort and stability. IF you accept this projection as an indisputable truth,and given human nature it sure seems to be an indisputable truth,we will eventually arrive at a point where the necessities of life as well as the luxuries are running out,and the mobs will revolt and demand ALL the necessities as well as the luxuries be given to them instead of kept for themselves by the people responsible for creating and producing them,and that is when the violent revolution will happen that will virtually take the planet back to the Stone Age as the humans that are little more than animals murder off the productive people in order to get the luxuries they want. Poster Comment: I am not real sure how well I have stated the POV of the Eugenics and Abortion people because they never seem to interested in discussing the WHY's of their POV. They just state what they think needs to be done,and even then they don't go into details. Mostly because they CAN'T without appearing to be cold and selfish,and having their opponents scream "NAZI!" at them and demand they be killed or put into prison for suggesting people need to be responsible. I am basing what I wrote on what SEEMS TO ME to be the basis of their logic and efforts. If you are an Eugenics and Abortion supporter and think I have misstated your positions,PLEASE speak up and correct me. We all know the basis of the anti-Eugenics and Anti-Abortion crowds are religious beliefs,and organized religions NEED huge masses of followers for political power as well as a base to build their wealth on. I see no possible basis for a middle-ground where the two opposing groups can meet and agree on any sort of compromise at all. One side wants to limit population so there are more resources and power for fewer people,and the other side wants to increase population because that is where their power base lies. I am not sure most of the people on either side have taken the time to try to understand WHY they take the stands they take because both sides seem to me to focus more on screaming insults at each other than facts. For different reasons maybe,but the end results are still the same,division,jealousy, and hatred. ALL eventually leading to war. IF we can,let's try to limit the hatred to a slow boil,and see if we can have a discussion where ideas are presented where maybe both sides can meet and agree on something. Yeah,I know,but it's worth trying. Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread Top • Page Up • Full Thread • Page Down • Bottom/Latest Begin Trace Mode for Comment # 10.

Is there a finite amount of corn? Is there a finite amound of beans? Is there a finite amount of beef? If the entire world population lived in Texas how much space would each person live on? If the entire population of the earth lived in the United States how many square feet would each person have if evenly divided?
An older article which assume a population of 6 billion. Current estimates are 7.5B people so that would be very close to 1000 square feet per human. 9,450,000 square miles in America = 263,450,880,000,000 square feet. So: a bit over 35,000 square feet per person if you divided America up between all 7.5 billion humans on the planet.
Bad source for this. 3,796,742 sq mi * 27,878,400 = 105,847,092,172,800 square feet in America. So that is 14,112 square feet for each of 7.5 billion humans.
