China may change 'one child' population policy

ctv.ca article

So China may be stopping the one child policy, thanks to the policy there would have been 400 millon more people in the country.

Stopping the policy would mean less forced abortions and help stop the gender imbalance because of the old tradion of baby boys are better the girls.

However it would mean that the population will climb again, there is already more then 1 billion people there, is there really enough room and resources for more?

How ya doing, buddy?

There is a penalty fee for having a second or third child, but rich parents have the kids anyway knowing that they can afford the fee.

Some areas can have two children, with the first child anything goes, but if it is a girl, they often do what ever it takes to make sure the second one is a boy by having a abortion. Some parents will have the birth at home so that it will go unreported and abandon the girl somewhere and then try again.

China needs to grow out of the 'boys are better' stage.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Most of the people who are in the mind-set of 'boys are better then girls' live in the far-off rural areas, it dosn't suprise me the city folk and the younger generation know better.

I have always wanted to say to the older-rural folks "If everyone had sons, who are the straight ones gonna marry? Daughters are important if you want your family to continue"

Nothing like harsh reality huh? More people means less resources, have fewer children means more food to go around. Cruel but true.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

What I find funny is the fact that I never mentioned 'killing people' at all. If the world population was half of what it is now, we would not have a real problem with resources. Population control can be achieved by have only 1 or 2 kids, and in due time the population will go down slowly, or at least grow slowly then what it is now.

I am aware of the child murders, the main reason why murders happen in China is due to gender preference, if people could be happy with the gender that they get, it would be nice, but we all know that it's not gonna happen.

The idea of population control being achieved by people having 1 or 2 kids and be happy about them is just that 'idealism' it would be nice, but we all know that it's not gonna happen.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I think that there is a population issue in the world and people call me a raciest for it, I am pretty amused myself too.

FELIPE NO

Sigh.... dude, please re-read my posts, I never said anything about killing, or a specific country, just a idea of everyone having 1 or 2 kids, but that is idealistic so we know its not going to happen. Trying to twist what I am trying to say is only pulling this thread off topic. I am just going to end it with that.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

The world in general, sorry if you thought otherwise.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
