Hi

I totally agree with Ian and pity your views on this subject. If people weren't so narrow minded and selfish then it would not have come to this in the first place. China is a place where they don't even have freedom of speech and you's think it would be a good idea to start adopting there policies, and they are also one of the worst polluters. We are now being educated on the effect of global warming and other means of making energy so we can begin to get out of this mess without turning into a country where we cannot fully live out free will.

Ponder this
Last year I went on a Caribbean cruise, and before you jump down my neck I worked hard for it, having never been unemployed in the 39 years since I left school. On board were a family, man, wife and five unruly ferral kids. My first encounter, they were in the cabin next door to me, was to hear them verbally abusing staff, because they wouldn't give them a free upgrade to a bigger cabin. The parents spent all holiday in the bars, continually worse for wear. whilst their kids ran wild abusing staff and passengers accordingly. At the end of the holiday, they were in the bar bragging that the holiday had been entirely funded from the benefits they receive for their kids, he was quite happy to divulge he hadn't worked since leaving school, but the killer was when he leaned over to his wife and said, "Lets do this again next year" and she replied that to afford it she would really have to get pregnant again

Why should any of us have to pay for other people to breed kids? In the last 50 years the population has gone from 2.5 billion to 6.7 billion - not exactly short of kids are we!!!! If you want kids then you should have to pay for them yourself and stop stealing off the rest of us. You're doing enough damage to the planet and to every other species of life with your selfish indulgence of recreating yourself ( several times over no doubt!) and then the rest of us have to pay for the environmental damage you casue as well as pay you to casue it in the first place!!!! If you can't afford kids - without any state aid at all - you should not have them. By the laws of God and Nature - very convieniently excluded from our city led cultures - if you were not able to create your own wealth to survive you would perish, with so many people on the planet and perhaps we should go back to the sane ways of God and Nature! How dare you whinge about how tough it is on benefits - you're alive aren't you, so say thank you to thoes of us who pay the bill! At least we do - niether God not Nature would!

Hi Meryl,
I think your idea of doing things like China where they allow one child per family is fantastic, however, for that to work in this country, there needs to be discipline, not only from the young people but also from the politicians. China is all about discipline which is something that this country does not have. I also agree that this world is in ruins and I blame human behaviour. If you think of birds they migrate when they are ready but nothing changes they don't suddenly change their habits when they feel like it. The point I am trying to make is that humans are supposed to be intellegent because we can talk, reason etc; and this is why we are superior to animals. Animals are intelligent quite ok but the errors that humans make their way of thinking and reasoning are unbelievable. The idea behind filling the world with people is so that we can all get along, work together and use our intelligence to improve the world

I think there are far too many people on this overpopulated planet of ours. We should adopt a policy like China and just allow one child per household. We have drained most of the earths resources, petrol, water, trees, crops, now prices are rocketing, property is in decline, we still build more for more people to live in and we accept people into this country so easily and they feed off our benefit system, the NHS can not afford to deal with the load. Have a thought for a moment, we are human beings living in this world, we govern all that happens to this planet, species are getting extinct due to our actions, countryside is diminishing, petrol is running out, prices going up, fuel prices going up, food prices going up, everything is going up but not wages! So what are we to do? We cant blame Gordon Brown for everything can we - even he is human after all. We are all responsible for acting appropriately, recycle, behave, educate each other, develop better policing, better society equals better country. So the rest is down to us all. Finally anti- social behaviour is a key factor we must all consider today, we should reintroduce discipline back into schools give the teachers the power to discipline in the appropriate way, some children seem to think they can do what they want to day, gang wars are building more and more, killing innocent people and for what? We need action - we can call our government to address these worrying facts but we want it immediately!
