Reproduction...is it a right?

Post Reply New Topic

When you look at it from a resource standpoint, reproductive rights should be limited simply because there is too great a danger of famine and lack of water to sustain such great numbers of one species. We see what happens when a species explodes in numbers and it's always harsh. There simply isn't enough for all of them and so many of them simply starve to death.

That's what I am talking about here. Do you think a piece of paper is going to feed you when you get hungry? Is it going to give you a drink when you are thirsty? Can you bathe in it when you are infested with bacteria that causes illnesses? Money is simply not sovereign and if we continue to treat it like a resource, which is simply isn't, we will find ourselves in trouble, over and over again.

You are conflating two unrelated concepts: (1) Reproduction as a right, and (2) Zero-Sum Economics as applied to natural resource management.

Focus, please. Focus!

Well, given the first amendment: "The right to be an idiot" Well, yeah, I suppose reproducing is also a right.

And thank you philosophy Queen Ana..

Socrates asked open ended questions like this as a way to enlightenment FOR OTHERS, as well..

He was no lightweight.....

And neither are you..

No matter what the naysayers say.. i'm RIGHT WITH YA on it!..

Oh.. and back on topic.. of course folks of legal adult age have the right to reproduce with whomever they like of legal adult age, consensually as such, in the U.S., in almost all cases.

YES! overpopulation is a problem but Mother Nature tends to take care of that when social roles grow less and free resources grow more....

Fortunately we have other vicarious resources for the multiplying bunnies like PORN that takes away some of the action, and however much that may be a factor, teenage fertility among white folks is definitely going down, in so-called FIRST WORLD COUNTRIES WITH FIRST WORLD PROBLEMS...

But anyway speaking of problems, younger folks in Japan are losing the desire to physically hook up with the opposite sex...

And guys are using cosmetics in South Korea, approaching female usage, as social roles are growing murky, in ways of gender roles, there....too....

It does reflect John Calhoun's utopian rat study called the BEAUTIFUL ONE'S, FITTINGLY SO, per metro-sexuals and all of that too.....

And of course like other animal populations when population stresses grow, AND SOCIAL GENDER ROLES and social roles in general, BECOME MURKY so do rates of homosexual animal behavior too, and yes that IS a GREAT THING.. AS IT SAVES ON POPULATION GROWTH, OVERALL!

IN SOME more balanced primitive cultures that do exist, NOW, where the 'work of night' is reproducing from puberty, there are no words in the language for either homosexuality or masturbation.

It's hard to say at this point whether that is purely environment and or genetics BUT NEVER THE LESS, no records of masturbation and homosexuality in that culture, as is, per the language of those folks that exists....

And here is that FASCINATING RAT STUDY THAT TELLS an INTERESTING RAT TALE, PER our common rodent ancestor some 75 million years ago.. 'who' we still share the majority of social animal genetics with, human style.....

Yes, Mickey Mouse is a wise old Mouse or RAT, in reality too.....with a tale.. or tail....
