Overpopulation

Overpopulation is not a new thing, but at times can be regarded as a very taboo topic. As if thinkers and scientists are presenting racist tinted views, rather than common sense.
The last time [in England at least] that overpopulation was becoming a problem, was late 1800's early 1900's. Unfortunately in 1914 World War 1 broke out, thus [and i hate to use this sort of phrase] reducing the population considerably. Now we hear talk that it would take another good war to reduce the population enough*. But anyone who talks like this is small minded and a fool**.

I was once told [a very long time ago] that England is only a small country. This is true, we also have a moderate population density. But tell me this; in England alone, if the population keeps increasing where will they live? Yes we may go out, but what happens when we reach the shores of this island?

"We go up!" said a friend confidently. " and after that?" said I. "After we can go no higher?". To this he had no answer***, but the point is there. We will run out of space. More people. That means the same amount of resources being divided up with each person getting less. To force people not to have children would be wrong [It would not be a solution either, as no children means no future generations]. But to show them and learn them, that less people means everyone have a better quality of life; now and for generation to come. Is surely the better way.

To slow down that exponential growth of the global population, would mean each generation would eventually benefit more. More space, more resources, more time even in which to grow**** and be themselves.

Speed in this sense is not a benefit. If we could slow down the growth of the Human race with common sense, then surely the planet too would benefit. Less people means less of everything really. Less cars/planes/trains/boats to pollute the planet. Less water being used up in those expensive and unnecessary bathrooms. Less burning of fuels and other such pollutants for power and heat. Less mass production of non-recyclable items.

Yes there is also the argument of less creation, less new ideas, less original thoughts. But in a world of billions new ideas are swept away on tide, only to be forgotten and plagiarised. And perhaps as odd as it sounds, Humanity needs a break from itself once or twice and even a break from new tech. In order to reflect and remember The History, where we came from and how it all happened.

Every child should be cared for, but also made to know and care of their past. That is why there is a lost generation coming upon us. A group of children lost in the dark, who don't even realise there is darkness all around them. Not even searching for The Light.

Removal

Of course when you haven't written for a while you tend to go off topic as I did in the last post, but that's the game we play.

Life isn't fair. Is it safe to assume we have established this fact in our individual lives? Of course it all depends on your point of view. Sometimes we say life isn't fair because we aren't getting our own way [how selfish of us], but sometimes we are more than right.

Is it fair that murderers and criminals who have made people suffer and have killed are able to walk free because they say their human rights are being compromised? After they have killed and removed human rights from so many people. The world MUST be in a dire state when that happens, when justice has to blindly follow a set of rules, which any person in the street can see are wrong. When these murders have removed their victims human rights should they not have theirs removed also? is it right that serial killers with no regret are given bail after 15-20 years? Should they not be put to death?

Of course some people would say that killing a killer only brings you down to their level. But to kill someone, who would murder over and over again and who sees nothing wrong with it, is that not a service to the Country, for the protection of the masses? I strongly think it is. And to me a bit of rope and a wooden cross frame MUST be a hell of a lot cheaper for the government than keeping them alive.

We are in an economic crisis and that is my idea for saving some money which the Government can use for the people affected.

Necessities of Living

O.K. so it has been a while and I've been busy thinking...or more precisely revising for exams. But that's cool we need exams to test the knowledge that has sunk into our brains to see if we can remember it at pivotal moments [like exams].

There is one point though that nearly everyone seems to come back to. "If we are going to get jobs where we can always check out our writings or statements, why can we not use revision notes in the exams? We will never have to undergo them again, so why the pain?" And I can completely understand where you are coming from, but if that happened the people who don't try very hard would be able to get higher results and, as bad as it sounds, that would hit employers very hard in the future.

Think about it, if they can't be bothered remembering a few facts now and undergoing a little pain, then in the future where the choice is clearer they just wouldn't bother.

Now i know i sound very pessimistic and harsh in most respects but for a society and economy to function EVERYONE has to pull their weight. if we don't then the worlds stagnates and global development and well as social and personal falls. Meaning that we end up with a planet full of wasters who try to live life with as much pleasure and as little pain as possible. But if you undergo, the necessary pains of life at the right times, in the end it will all be worth while.
