In reply to the discussion: No Muslim family should engage in birth control: Turkey's Erdogan [View all]Oneironaut
(5,495 posts)11. Ugh. There are enough people in the world.
We do not need more - especially ignorant religious fundamentalists. We are different from other animals in that we have the means to control our population through birth control. If you want to see a budding Malthusian disaster, look no further than China. They've destroyed their lands so badly that they need to spread out and infect the space around them (South China Sea) like a spreading disease.
Anyone who wants higher human reproduction rates at this time is an ignorant dumbass. Erdogan has already proven himself to be one, so this is totally in character.
