Women are a problem out of control.

Talking about this TRUTH is simply TABOO in our society and there are nasty consequences of even attempting to bring up the topic.

Equal rights for women is a joke based more on the hard wiring of human genetics to breed and WAR in endless cycles to preserve the quality of the species against any survival of the fittest event even when there isn't or doesn't appear to be one.
Men are merely slaves in this process, to their own hormonal fluxes and to paternal power structuring that is always aiming at harem states through war and injustice.

Ultimately women have far more rights than men and an ability to mask injustice with beauty and allure. For example women are the biggest voices condemning overpopulation caused climate change yet they insist on the "equal?" right to have ALL the children they need. This to go from social obscurity to powerful social doyennes no matter the consequence for climate or social justice for the many.

Far more needs to be said if we are to escape not just an overcrowded and unjust Australian society but a global war of apocalyptic proportions.

I am not about to put myself on that chopping block but some words of a Prince song echoing long hidden truth do come to mind:

"You don't have to make love to have a baby
and you don't have to have a baby to make love"

Now not all women are so bereft of conscience and intelligence that they aren't aware of the true problem. But to highlight the exceptions as a beacon of hope for women and the world while the vast majority of women are intent on destroying the planet and blaming everyone but themselves, is something that only an American Hegemonist like Hilary Clinton would stoop to.

Master Arjay
1. Natural growth is births minus deaths and here we are at about 160,000 more babies than deaths, so our population would still be growing, not as you claim.
2. NOM is immigration minus emigration. Emigration is peaking and trending up.
1000 skilled Aussies leaving per week last year as aour actual 'brian drain'.
3. Our death rates are due to double in the next 15 years so we may approach a 0 or neutral natural growth.
4. Australia is likely to see its peak population as soon as 2035, if our fertility holds or falls, our NOM drops back due to less immigration and more emigration and especially as our deaths approach 300,000 plus per year as projected. deaths are a certainty in the demographic science.

<< Our pop would be falling if not for immigration. >>

Arjay, this is a fallacy. Our population would still be growing at quite a significant rate even if we had zero immigration.

<< So the more growth we have,the more debt we incur. >>

Well! What a brilliant reason to wind back our growth rate!

KAEP,

What a strange post.

According to Camille Paglia, if things had been left up to women we'd all still be living in grass huts. : )

I'm always amused and entertained when people seek to single out "one" gender and blame it for the "human" capacity to overreach itself contrary to its supposed intelligence.

Excellent article. What a pity so few people understand that there is nothing sustainable about how we are living. The last 80 years of economic growth has been built on cheap and abundant fossil fuel and the destruction of the world's forests and fisheries. Some wealth creation. And now the developing world wants to join the party just as things are starting to turn nasty...

But then things turned bad for many other species a long time ago, like the Tasmanian Tiger and the Paradise Parrot. The entire global population of large primates is now less than the population of Canberra. I wonder where people like Cheryl and Pericles live their lives. In search of the next great coffee shop?

Dick Smith says "Now Japan must deal with a further massive blow, but at least its cohesive society is pulling together. One wonders if such a recovery from disaster would be possible if the nation was not held together by a common culture."

So are you actually rejecting multiculturalism now?

Australia had its own cohesive society with a common culture until "people-who-know-better" decided we were impoverished by not having people of every-ethnicity-known-to-man living here.

Why don't you bite the bullet and oppose immigration then, Dick?
That's virtually the only reason our cohesive/common culture is being undermined.

But no, Dick still supports immigration (just less of it).
And doesn't *explicitly* oppose multicultural immigration.

Cop-out.
