thats a awful lot of people to feed
for a small island

so can you lot go on the pill please

Population is like road traffic, the more roads/houses you build, you will never get to the stage where all is complete.

more and more houses being built on farmland, this country will soon be like Los Angeles...........Covered in Concrete!!
Population control MUST come.........

they are trying to price motorists off the roads with various taxes/incentives........how long before SEX is next?

i dread to think dermot

no wonder theres a credit crunch

There's an article about our planet's water supply on the internet now; not that we have a shortage of the stuff but we don't have enough 'clean' water for everyone and if the population expands as expected the matter will worsen.

me thinks your right bob

they do tax sex bob dont they
we pay VAT on condoms dont we

janet it maybe a time for us all to save water then

i dont mind bathing with steven seagal
just to save the planet mind

yes i wonder how many illegals we have budgie

I don't see how you can tax sex, it doesn't cost anything. Yes, condoms cost money but they're what you need to avoid (c.97% of the time) expanding the population and contracting diseases which need to be treated, therefore putting more pressure on the NHS.

cat well i only sleep with married men
men that are married to me that is
soi recon i cost the NHS next to nothing over the years

Oh noooo I think I can see a debate coming on. Im going to bed lolol. Dont know what time it is in Australia. Night all!
PS, I luv the new name Monty.

night night romany hun xxx

I don't sleep with married men but then again I'm not married lol

Seriously though 61 million is a lot of people but you can't start banning people from having babies, there's no way you could police it. The only form of contraception that is 100% is celebacy and not many will willingly practise that.

Hi all

I'm not sure that me going on the pill would make a bit of difference .those days, as they say, are gone.

How this argument jumped from population control to
trying to price "poor" motorists off the road, I've no idea.

Any "poor" motorist who is so impoverished as to be able to buy a car, tax a car, MOT a car and fuel a car isn't "poor" by my definition

Sue x

your right julie

all ladies under 40 can you please
bolt your bed room doors with the men on the out side


suzian
just think in a few years time

Joy, spoilsport lolol

It's 9am Friday in Austraia (eastern states), but different times in other states - it's a big enough country to have different time zones in it - and 21 million people!

Some of you had better come out here! Problem is, so many of that 21 million crowd into the cities where the jobs are. The country area is beautiful but not many jobs available.

suzian i dont drive either
my part in saving the earth
saving them fro mmy dangerous driving

berona
if Steven Seagal moves over there
i might just join you

Saw that in this morning´s Daily Mail. Apparently it´s because people have a longer life expectancy & fewer die of illness.
Durrrr.

I remember thinking this island was getting crowded in the 60s.......what has been done to stop it since.......nothing!! Quite the opposite in fact with more and badly controlled immigration, increased teenage pregnancy, increased benefits make families more affordable. All manner of bonuses and tax credits make it uneconomical for some people with families to go out to work to support them, making it financially a good move to have even more children. Then with IVF and other medical advances, more are able to have children and to start second families with new husbands/wives/partners. Also more children survive these days. Finally, people are not being killed off in wars in the numbers they used to be.

The media always trots out that we need a bigger population to support the elderly who are living longer, but it is suicide to continue like this as the earth does not keep growing to accommodate us all and the resources we need.

If the population had been stabilised we would have less traffic, less restriction, more room to park, more open spaces, less crowds.
In a few generations it wouldn't be surprising if our descendants looked back on us as the generations who ruined the country with excessive breeding and immigration.

But the population will be controlled eventually. Nature will do it by disease pandemics that will decimate dense populations where they are easily spread between people, especially on public transport!! That or starvation when we have built on too much of the land we need for food.

Well, better enjoy what we have while we still have it, eh?
