Well I'm currently sitting at my PC (obviously) and I'm watching 'Dateline' on NBC. They just had a very interesting story on, which had the opposit effect on my then they had planned.
So here's the story they were reporting on...
Apparently Chrysler decided to not include a brake shift lock on their minivans. Even though brake shift locks are not required by any laws, there are now class action lawsuits against them in 12 states. What started these lawsuits? Apparently there have been a few cases of roll away accidents. Now at first glance this looks to be the fault of Chryslers, but if you look into each case, they all have a common element.
That elemant is that the car was taken out of park by a child who was left unattended in a running vehical. Now unfortunatly Chrysler will end up setteling, but I would liek to see the company counter sue the families for child neglect. Seriously what moron leaves their kid in a running car??? Unfortunatly there is no natural selection to remove these people.

Well, if we only had a guarantee that the parents would be standing in FRONT of the Minivan when the kid shifted out of park, then that would sorta be like natural selection...and maybe that was what Chrysler was intending...bring stupid parents to extinction.

Every woman should have an implant put in that prevents pregnancy as a child. When they are old enough they should take a test before they can have it removed and have children.

HAHA sort of threw me off because it seemed irrelevant to this thread, but maybe not...and a pretty decent idea there. But then Taiwanese people would eventually develope Mod-chips to overrun the pregnancy protection, and selling it to young girls who wanna have babies (if there were such a thing).

no, but one woman can have a child every 9 months, But a man does not have this restriction. If men were prevented from having children and one of them were to get it taken out, god knows how many children he could have, especially since the demand would be high. The fact is that the world is growing way too fast, we really need to find a way to stop this growth or else everyones quality of life will drastically decrease.

I nominate myself as head of a new govenment agency that can legally abort people up untill the 150th trimester, if they are deemed stupid enough.
Yup. People in third world countries need to stop having all these kids.
Ok - an automaker manufactures a vehicle that meets all of the standards that the government requires. Some examples of said vehicle are then involved in some accidents. Who is to be sued, the manufacturer or the governement that created the regulations?
This yet another example of people not taking responsibility for their own actions. The PARK function of an automatic transmission has never been intended as a replacement for the parking brake. Next time you're in an automatic-equipped car, pay close attention when the driver parks the car. 8 or 9 times out of 10 they won't set the parking brake. This is a really good way to get the tranny to fail....

Only idiots drive Chryslers. If they're stupid enough to buy them in the first place then they deserve what they get. Chrysler should have died a long time ago. :(

This would prove to be the ultimate in birth control also. :D

i think all men should be sterilized. but first they can get busy with a cup and freeze it for when they want to have children. i'm sure by the time this could happen, invetro would be perfected.
that way ALL pregnancies are planned.

but then you'd have folks still pumping themselves full of fertitility drugs and having quintuplets cause they just refuse to adopt a kid.
or they're turned off by how much of a hassle adoption is (though i can't imagine fertility drugs being that easy either)

Actually the US (and other modern countries) has a pretty slow growth rate at around 1% growth per year, where as 3rd world countries (i'm looking in your direction china, india and africa) have outragously high growth rates.
My biggest problem is with these 3td world countries, they know.....they know that they have a population problem, yet they keep adding to the problem.

i forgive women with a third-grade education who are too poor to eat properly for not having a supply of condoms on hand. i do not forgive dubya for recently cutting all funding to all programs which helped to educate women in third world countries about family planning. it wasn't a whole lot of money, and it was doing a lot of good things.

It's not as simple as all that, though.
1) In general, 3rd world countries don't have the money to sponsor birth control/planned parenthood programs.
2) In many 3rd world countries, a large family is a sign of spiritual health or a source of pride.
3) Many 3rd world countries may not see their exploding populations as a problem. More people means more workers, more potential UN aid, etc.
Many 3rd world families have had reasons in the past for having large families (more people to help with farming or other work, ensuring some children survive because of a high mortality rate, etc.), and cultural trends have been established. These trends are difficult to break, and with modern medicine starting to become accessible to 3rd world areas, life-spans are increasing and overpopulation is becoming a problem. Solutions to this problem need to be examined, but they're certainly not as simple as "telling those damn 3rd world countries to stop having kids!" or something to that effect.
this has strayed just a little bit off topic, eh? maybe someone should do a new thread on overpopulation :)

Sorry but it doesn't take a guy with a PHD to figure out that when you dont have enough money/food/shelter for yourself, its not going to get better if you just add more people.
Ice-9's got the right idea. The main reason why people would have children was because of high mortality rates, but since that problem has been taken care of, instead of having less children people still pop them out. In third world countries a child can be seen as an extra worker, in modern countries children are a parasite, a consumer and not a producer which is why our growth rate is lower.

i dont think she was talking about a guy to begin with. some guys with phd's couldnt figure out how to put on a condom, let alone much else. and i dont think that she was talking about just these ideas. we are born with a tendency to procreate. some ppl even like sex. i think it's easy to sit over here on our couches and our lazyboys, eating our canned hams and tuna, drinking our imported beers, to say how other ppl should live their lives. sure, they should do something, but since they have not, maybe they need help.

no, no, no. when it is culturally ingrained that you have as many kids as possible and you have no education, you have no concept of birth control. what you do know is that a woman with less than 7 kids is shamefully worthless. that is your whole world. husbands can kill their wives for not putting out or for not producing children. if that was my world, i'd play like a rabbit and PROCREATE.
and thanks to missionaries, all these new christians think birth control is a sin. thanks, popester!
"and thanks to missionaries, all these new christians think birth control is a sin. thanks, popester!" like there are so many Christians in countries like Pakistan. :rolleyes:

it was just an aside. i know it's not a significant contributor to the problem. but there are christians in india and many other countries, and they don't advocate birth control...

what the fvck you guys talkin about??? its obviously chrysler's fault for not putting these brakeshifts into the car. stupid mthfckrs killed so many people by not installing these when each one only costs $9!!!! When a minivan costs $25,000 they can't even afford to put a $9 part into them? wtf. wanna know why chrysler is doing so bad??? yes, the parents have to take a little blame for leaving their kids there but all kids are mischievous and curious and like to fool around with buttons and knobs. these stupid-ass chrysler engineers are so stupid. to expect the parents to be perfect parents is just like expecting everybody to be perfect drivers. if everybody will be a good and lawful driver, then why do we need airbags??? accidents will never happen anyway. those motherfvkers deserve to die if they gonna pull stupid-ass shiet anyways, right?. WRONG, nobody is perfect and the engineers of these products gotta understand that. we pay so much so you guys can protect us when we act stupid not so you can turn around and say we deserve all this shiet and try to get away with everything when you obviously know its a safety hazard and just being cheap about it. this is really bad for chrysler and all american car companies in general.

it's chrysler's fault that ppl leave kids in running cars unattended. it's also their fault that they leave their pets in the car on a hot day with the windows up.
