If you haven't figured it out yet the theme here is attempt to control others through whatever means necessary
Making statements such as these scientists are.. & having you (& others) actually put faith into them or their words.. you have given them exactly what they want. They have the control they looked to get & you just gave it to them willingly.. sheeple
Just because someone has achieved a title such as 'scientist' or someone has achieved a doctorate level doesn't mean they are not completely full of shit, have an agenda to fill, etc. Just because someone is on a 'trusted' news/media venue doesn't mean what they are stating as 'fact' isn't full of shit & again has their agenda to fill.
I thought we learned this with all the fox news bullshit right?
I seem to remember when Al Gore was pushing for his bullshit that he had "trusted scientists" & people with fancy degrees get up & spout his bullshit.. even used lines just like this guy uses to explain over population - "every scientist agrees that global warming is a real threat"
blah blah blah blah blah
bullshit
You know what you got.. you got a guy with a degree on a soapbox spouting his bullshit.. whats the difference between him & me? his piece of paper & the soapbox he is standing on?
So what's his agenda?
Mine is clear & I have it out there in every post.. for the betterment of mankind.
Can we say the same about these scientists? What have they done to better mankind? Whats their resume for success? Who is paying their bills?
That last one is important.. all you linked is opinions of people on one side of the argument.. but when you read their shit you don't actually get anything out of it. Please all of you read it & come back to prove me wrong on that.
They are doing the same thing as me.. opinions.. only I'm not paid to say mine & on such a public venue - can they say the same?
Another difference.. I actually brought facts that can be checked.. things like math that can be checked.. etc.
Where is that in this article?
All I see is a bunch of supposed to be smart people telling me what I cant do when clearly I have already shown that no.. no I can do it & anything. You know what I do when people say I cant do something.. I give them the a double middle finger while I show the world that I can do it
It is a false argument because that was never the point Fly and I were debating. There was no figurative or implied statements that I was debating him on Teriya. I read exactly what he wrote and I disagreed with him on 2 key statements he made, as I outlined above.
Your post then stated that what I was arguing is not what he "really meant" and you proceeded to tell me what he "really meant", and that he's right. That's a false argument because it's not what he said. Well maybe he did somewhere in all that garble, but I was specifically addressing the 2 items he touted as fact, as I outlined above. Those 2 items are the only facts at issue here.

Ok, aaaaannnnddd I'm done. So now it's all a big conspiracy theory? Scientists are just making shit up to have us all scared over things that cannot happen?
I can't argue your wack ass crazy conspiracy theories Fly because they're based on opinions and feelings, not fact. This is literally like talking to a brick wall. As big of a waste of time as there ever was.
First, hey fag you cannot back out because I call your shit out for being conspiracy theory bullshit when you call me out for being some crazy that hasn't got a fucking clue.
I WILL PUT AWAY THE CONSPIRACY SHIT FOR A MOMENT & JUST OBLITERATE YOU USING ONLY FACTS FROM YOUR ARTICLES YOU BROUGHT TO THE TABLE.. HOPE YOURE READY BECAUSE I AM ONLY GOING TO USE YOUR STUFF AGAINST YOU;
Vermi you didn't do anything but shoot yourself in the foot.. So again, lets actually stop & read the two articles you bring to the table to make your arguments for you
One was from 1992 & contained the most 'facts' for its time - its completely out of touch for today. Most/all of its numbers & 'facts' are based off the baby boom generation. Yeah that is a great time to base your numbers/facts/opinions on shit.
In fact.. if you actually read BOTH OF YOUR ARTICLES you will see that the one from 2011 actually refutes a good 90% of the numbers presented in the 1992 article.. but ironically they both have the same message. (pay attention to this as its fucking important you asshole & you will see a trend here)
For the sheeple ; that message is a simple one
"OVERPOPULATION.. IN ORDER FOR THE HUMAN RACE TO SURVIVE WE NEED TO HIT A 2.0 FERTILITY RATING (or a '0' reproduction rate)"
That's a fucking crock of shit bro & according to your articles they have been making this EXACT SAME ARGUEMENT FOR OVER 300+ YEARS(oh & its likely longer.. like since the beginning of mankind we have been pulling this shit on each other).
Its all Malthusian/Eugenics bullshit.. & yes "OVERPOPULATION" is a conspiracy theory that humans have been using against each other for as long as they have been able to. Sorry couldn't hold back on it any longer..
Here I will toss the ball into your court for a chance.. Where again I will ask you to show me, out of any of these trusted sources of information, where are the actual accolades of success in the promotion of mankind? (show me an advancement in tech, knowledge, etc. from any of these sources that actually benefits man.. YOU PROVE TO ME & ALL OF US HERE THAT you don't just have some talking heads that aren't doing shit for mankind other than attempting to scare humanity it into a direction they want you to go) Please, can you show me any of these sources that for sure isn't being paid to voice that opinion? Can you show me any of them that does anything actually PRODUCTIVE to human society outside of telling us what we can/cant accomplish? Can you show me one of these talking heads that likes to say 'ONLY THIS CAN BE POSSIBLE ON THE FARM' & has actually done that level of farming themselves? Meaning they like to talk about how other people walk.. but can these mother fuckers even crawl in the shoes of the people they want to talk about & say what is in their capabilities?
You cannot prove any of the above.. remember just because some asshole with a degree says what is possible/impossible doesn't mean dick for shit.. First, fuck him & who the fuck pays his bills? Second, if he is so god damn smart why isn't he working on a 'solution' to the perceived problem. *HINT* they do not want a solution.. he wants to scare/force you into having to kill your babies, while he continues to have his babies. Eventually when you are dead & cannot protect your baby any longer.. opps here comes his babies to mash your baby's head in.. are you getting the fucking picture?
I DONT HAVE TO PULL ONE OVER ON YOU TODAY.. I GOT A 200 YEAR FAMILY DYNASTY PLAN THAT PUTS MY FAMILY ON TOP & YOUR FAMILY LICKING THE BOTTOM OF MY FAMILY'S BOOTS.. (Grandpa Kennedy didn't set his family goal of being a bunch of bootleggers for the mob & that's all they would be.. no sir! He aspired & inspired his family to achieve a top seat in American society.. from dog shit to top dogs where they have now been sitting for 3 generations)
Anyways - lets get back to me raping you with your articles as the basis for facts;
News flash for you kiddo.. (as can be read in the 'facts' of your article posted in 1992) the "OVERPOPULATION" argument has been being made for at least the last 400 years & but very likely longer than that - the hate message that this sends.. is exactly that; a hate/fear monger message used to control other humans. Its the same fucking message over & over but the only difference is the 'numbers' on the 'facts' change to fit current time that the argument is being made.
ie; Your 2011 article, Natalie Wolchover has her crying about over population is going to happen at 'x' number of people in 'x' year for 'x' reasons & the only solution is for people to only have 1 child per person.
Your 1992 article, Joel Cohen has him crying about over population is going to happen at 'x' number of people in 'x' year for 'x' reasons & the only solution is for people to only have 1 child per person.
In the 1970s Coale said the same bullshit..
In the 1940s Hitler said the same bullshit..
In the 1920s Sanger said the same bullshit..
In the late 1700s Malthus said the same bullshit..
Do you get the fucking picture yet man.. likely no so here we go again;
Your first article; from 2011 (check these numbers out) "We can only support 10 Billion people on the planet before we run out of food & we will be at this population number in 2100"
(this next one is funny because it shoots your argument in the foot & its directly from your sources) "In truth, no one knows when or at what level peak population will be reached" Population Biologist Joel Cohen of Columbia University
oh really.. at least someone wasn't talking out his ass
Your second article; the one from 1992 "By 2025 our population will be around 11 Billion" "By 2076 our population will be around 46 Billion" "By 2150 our population will be around 694 Billion"
I'm not even going to bother explaining why it thinks we fail & at what numbers because again its in complete contradiction to your first article.. do you really want me blasting holes in everything?
On Coale;
"Here is what Coale concluded: Every demographer knows that we cannot continue a positive rate of increase indefinitely. The inexorable arithmetic of compound interest leads us to absurd conditions within a calculable period of time. Logically we must, and in fact we will, have a rate of growth very close to zero in the long run."
For the record.. Coale came up with that DURING THE 1970s.. do you think he has a fucking clue as to what's really going down right now 50 years later? So with that said.. WOULD YOU LIKE FOR ME TO POST COALE & HIS 'FINDINGS' DURING THE 70s? You wont like it much if I do as again.. its all a bunch of contradictions & misstated facts from one source to the next.. but always the same damn hate monger speech from each & every one of these assholes. Opps, I mean did you notice what Coale did there? 'You only get 1 baby'.... wow that sounds familiar.. where have I seen that before.. just cant put my figure on it..
oh yeah EVERYWHERE THESE ASSHOLES PULL THIS SHIT
Are you seeing a pattern yet or do I need to do a paint by numbers thing for you?
Hitler says the jews are going to kill you.. better kill the jews
Sanger says the blacks are going to kill you.. better kill the blacks..
'Overpopulation Asshole#12314124124" says we are going to run out of food, oxygen, places to sleep/shit, better kill your babies..
News Flash.. "OVERPOPULATION" is literally the footnote argument to gain control over most important things to humans.. food, water, etc. also likely shelter/lands if those were needed/desired.
News Flash.. do you think the Romans didn't deal with & do this same shit to its people?
News Flash.. you think the nobles of the dark ages didn't use this against their surfs/knaves to keep them working the fields of the castles?
News Flash.. you think the commies of Russia, China, Korea didn't/don't use this against their people? We are taking your lands from you & but leaving you the job of continuing to farm the lands to feed our great socialist nation.. you will receive enough food for you to live & continue working the farm so that our great socialist nation can prosper without threat of starvation.. all of our peoples will have food & you never go hungry socialist worker! Yay socialism! Oh wait.. last I checked China does in fact use the over population argument against its people & does so in such a devious manner.. they literally kill the babies.. as in right now today they likely killed hundreds.. because of 'over population'.
Imagine that here in America for a moment.. imagine losing your next child Vermi because you already have a son.. just think about it for a moment.. the loss of your next child because 'overpopulation' NEWS FLASH - oh & do take note that if it happens here, than I'll bet the Kennedy family wont be losing any of their kids.. the Clintons wouldn't be putting down any of their families babies.. the Obama's arnt going to put down their next baby.. The Bush family isn't going to kill off their next line of kin.... but you Vermi(& me/us that read these boards).. you would lose your next child.. Now, welcome to 'OVERPOPULATION' - happy you signed up for it?
NEWSFLASH - Some nignog in UO literally used the "OVERPOPULATION" argument on the city of Brit - lets me honest this guy did it to get a tower(s)/keep/castle & to stymie competition.. tell me its not a crock of shit & that he is really doing it for the good of the server. Yeeeeeeaaaah.. ok I am sure.. because vets love to live out of brit & need to (no they don't.. they live out of moonglow, occlo, vesper, yew, etc. as soon as possible). Nah that guy got control & now has people actually believing that he isn't a troll lol
Yeah ~ I'm sorry but just because asshole #120398120938 with a degree or a fancy soap box to stand on.. just because that person says something doesn't make it so.. I thought we learned this already.. Also, what the fuck would that guy really know about what is & isn't possible to do on a farm if he hasn't actually farmed himself.. & don't try to bullshit me with that asshole from Harvard knows his way around a cow & could milk one without getting double barrel cow kicked in the chest/head.
Leave you with this; get Dynastic with your thinking & you better teach it your son
"Give me control of a nations currency, & I care not who makes its laws" - Mayer Rothschild 1743-1812
"Give me control of a nations food or water, & I care not who makes its laws" - MoFoFly 2014
- Also for the record; never ever ever trust anything out of Harvard.. not if you consider yourself a true blue blood American that is. For those that do not know.. Harvard, the Bilderberg Group, the Illuminati, etc. have been waging World War III since 1954. You can call that a conspiracy theory if you want but I will bet you if you sit down to go over some of the information I have.. you would look at that Harvard shit head spouting off about Overpopulation like is was a fucking whacko too.. because he is a fucking whacko & he is doing everything in his power to keep you from establishing you & your family into something truly great while he establishes himself & his family into something greater than yours.
Yeah I wouldn't read it if I was you.. I may be 'crazy' for being a big thinker.. but you sir looked like a fucking clown with your rebuttal.
At least answer these.. to keep it easy I helped fill in your responses already so you don't look like an asshole answering my rebuttal to your completely asinine response to me;
Are you saying, its not possible for me to produce my floating structures? - Pretty sure you are going to say.. no Fly you are right you can take stuff that is currently floating in the oceans & make it continue to float...
Are you saying, that after I spent all this time cleaning up the earths oceans that I would go ahead & just do something immediately afterwards to fuck our oceans by some how blotting out the sun & destroying all ocean life? - Pretty sure you are going to say.. no Fly you are right that's completely stupid/insane for someone to spend time cleaning up the oceans only to fuck them up in the next step.. I now feel like a total dumbass for saying something like that when I clearly see your intentions throughout have been to promote life on this planet.
Are you saying, that I couldn't actually build something the size of Los Angeles on the water & it would not have the crazy life ending effects such as the one you describe? - Pretty sure you are going to say.. no Fly you are right & I even double/tripple checked your math on it just to be sure.. you could in fact build a dozen cities the size of Los Angeles Metro & still not even scratch .1 of the earths oceans surface area
Are you saying, that currently we do not have super structures on the water because it will destroy sea life? - Pretty sure you are going to say.. no Fly you are right.. we have aircraft carriers, cruise ships, oil rigs, super structure piers, docs, ship yards, etc. & that their presence actually promotes the sea life around it.
Are you saying, that by placing structures (above & below the water) in areas where there is little to no life in the oceans that this doesn't actually PROMOTE LIFE? - Pretty sure you are going to say.. no Fly you are right & I did my own fact checking.. turns out sinking things to the bottom of the ocean actually allows life to grow in these places.. Oh & Fly I even checked out the facts on what Oil Rigs do to the ocean life around them & son-of-a-bitch youre right again.. they too actually increase sea life in their areas.
Are you saying that, more of our oceans sea floors see the sun than don't? - Pretty sure you are going to say.. no Fly you are right & I did my own fact check.. turns out the oceans a lot darker than I thought it was.....
Are you saying that, more of our oceans are full of life than void of life? - Pretty sure you are going to say.. no Fly you are right again & I did my own fact check on that one too.. turns out are oceans are pretty fucking empty.. in fact scary empty now that I actually know
Are you saying that, with everything we have learned above, that I couldn't in fact build such floating structures, & find places in the world where I could actually promote sea life where there previously was none? - Pretty sure you are going to say.. no Fly you are right.. with the amount of available open ocean, that is both mostly empty of life & its sea floor doesn't actually see sunlight, you could do exactly that. You really could build floating super structures in areas where it wouldn't destroy sea life & instead you actively promote the growth of sea life in our oceans.
Oh but I mean.. please bring your facts at me that prove any of the above to be false (no I don't mean bring in a reference of humans being stupid & fucking our world up as that's clearly not what we are doing here). Lets just stick the facts of what is & what is possible..
Fly, I CAN quit this thread, or any conversation for that matter when the other person is beyond the ability to reason with. You didn't call me out on anything. All you've done is continue to string together a bunch of weird (because they mostly don't make sense in the context of what we were debating) opinions with a snarky comment here or there for spice, with absolutely no scientific support for your outlandish ideas. The best analogy I can draw come up with for this nonsense is...well...kinda what Firaxis said. Your posts read like someone who isn't mentally stable.
What frightens me the most isn't the fact that you actually believe you're winning this argument but that I think you actually believe the things you're writing. Originally I had assumed it was just trolling out of boredom since there isn't much going on in gaming right now, but I can see that isn't the case and it's pretty scary man.
I'm really not going to waste any more time on this because you seem to have lost the ability to hold a discussion with any semblance of order or reason.
Also, this video sums up exactly how I feel each time I fool myself into reading another one of your weird rants thinking that this time, maybe THIS time you will make sense.
