Should people be allowed to have large families?

have you watched the latest videos on plasma, on YouTube?

 

Not at all.

 

Plasma vs Population?

 

false dichotomy. you should have a watched the video.

 

Not at all, the OP raised the question "Should people be allowed to have large families?" and you introduced advances in plasma technology without any explanation of how that might answer the OP question.

 

it was in the video. the entire video is interesting, if you happen to get bored.

Anyway, the point is they have entire empty cities over there.

Here are some examples of vertical systems that should be incorporated with infrastructure support, from inception:

Only if you first removed all existing structures, buildings, trees, etc. and even then only if they remained standing.

Simply because we CAN do something is not always a good reason that we SHOULD.

 

You appear to be suggesting that economic growth ONLY results from more people spending.

 

Can we please face he fact the size of this planet is finite. 'Endless' it's not. Simple really or is the maths too difficult for you?

 

I never said that you should however if we give that population living space them they would still be within the Florida borders and the mid west would be empty for the farmers to plant as much as they need.

 

Should there not also be responsibilities attached to how one exercises their rights?

Would a zero or negative population growth actually be a bad thing? How might it affect unemployment, welfare dependency, climate change, deforestation, and any of the other numerous problems we complain about today?

 

Population growth is how social security is kept solvent?

 

Some probably can't afford any, but since it is governments responsibility to protect children the real question is how many can government afford?

 

More poor people having children they cannot afford requires government to tax others higher reducing their wealth through redistribution. Who would be against raising taxes for the benefit of helpless children?

 

Depending on how it is put to use.

 

While I agree, I also feel that if everyone lived rationally within their means many of our problems would diminish or disappear.

 

Yes, of course government, after all that is where a growing number seem to have accepted power should flow from.

 

Employment?

 

So if you can't "afford" a large family you say "oh no you don't" by having a large family anyway?

The two wrongs make a right method?

Government can tax gas-guzzling cars more to reduce their desirability, but must pay more to those who have children they cannot afford.

 

You're more on-topic than a great many posts I've read, and while I agree with you once something comes into existence it becomes nearly impossible to ban or eliminate it. At best it can only be made illegal, and in the case of child bearing would any law ever be created to allow prosecution of a woman who intentionally conceived more children than she could afford?

 

How about a law requiring the father be identified on the birth certificate of every child born, and also made responsible for the support of each child sired?

 

Japan has a population of about 128 million, and a population density of a little over 870 per square mile. Of course the density is much greater in the large cities, but nowhere near the worlds population living in Jacksonville, Florida which would result in about 9.3 million per square mile.

Are you 'asking' yourself?

 

Actually, we ALL consume...and SOME produce.

Societies thrive when most, if not all members are contributing. Culture, beliefs and values, change over time regardless of the population size.

 

Are not the numerous government aid programs a form of intervention and regulation? Admittedly, with the exception of abortions, they do nothing to reduce population or make children more affordable or needed by societies as a whole.

 

As you can see based on the responses I've made just prior to this one, I've gone through this thread entirely looking for the link to the YouTube video you claim would answer my question of how "advances in plasma technology" relates to the OP question and answers it. I found none.

And after watching the link you just posted I found nothing that answered the OP question or mentioned advances in plasma technology.

"the point is they have entire empty cities over there" - Are you referring to China?

I'm left to assume you support people having large families regardless of their being able to afford it, after all government can tax and borrow to provide the financial support necessary. Correct?
