I hope you can undertsand why we're skeptical of your proposals.
Sure I do. Doesn't make it any less what my impressions and observations are. But the thing about observations, they depend on perspective. You obviously see this differently than I do.

I was referring to your argument. "You can't prove there's not a conspiracy, so there must be one" is not very compelling.

I don't believe I've said that they CAN'T disprove my theory. I have full faith that rue and sig could disprove everything I say if they wanted to. I just felt like only one side of the argument was being focused on, a side that I thought I had already conceded, and I wanted to see their response to the other side.
I also don't recall if I said there MUST be one. I've only been saying what I think and observe. I'm fully aware I have very little evidence on my side.

If you mean this:

Then I meant you and Sig, in that you want to disprove my statements. And I am learning a lot from you.

Thanks Prof. The idea that poverty, war and disease are some sort of conspiracy by the wealthy to control population growth is
Oh, and BTW- if is IS a conspiracy, then we're stupid enough to go along with it.
Signy, your use of the head-smashing icon is all too appropriate. I figuratively bash my head (not so dumb as to actually bash it!) about the totally irrational ways that humans react to population issues. Ye gods I wish that this supposedly rational species Homo sapiens could actually think....
But I do try to push them in that direction (i.e., thinking).

Changing thread title back to original, as per recent agreement among members on thread title changing.
Also, I am being characterized as unthinking.
Lovely.
Not once have I argued that resource management is not important and necessary, not once have I argued that environmental impact shouldn't be considered. Not once have I even argued with the facts as presented, I have accepted them as truth. I have only said that I think there is some danger of abuse with state sponsored population control, and explained how I think it's happening even now.
