re-runs of Fawlty Towers

Shafique, the fact that there is unequal distribution of food does not mean that there isn't a population crisis. Too many humans are using up too many resources which have resulted in decimated lands (for space, the more humans, the more living space we need, logical right?) timber, fuel sources, ...

Freza - you didn't click on the link did you

As for your last point - why don't we have a spot of peasant shooting?

shafique

Shafique, your link is a one man show, and very generic. Frankly I'm disappointed. Why don't you send me some UN or Greenpeace links supporting your view instead? It appears you did not read my post citing the results Google throws up either. :lol: Never mind Freza, let's not let facts get in the w...

Ok - let's be a little serious for a minute. Overpopulation isn't causing the destruction of the world's natural resources - forrests aren't being destroyed to feed massive families from poor countries, and the last time I looked poor people with loads of kids weren't causing land erosion or driving...

strewth Freza. Ok, let's go to the UN Population Council : http://www.un.org/esa/population/publications/2006Changing_Age/Age_Structure.htm This session held last year in October says the problem is low working population, not over population. The 2005 report on Government practices to population ma...

You should go to California. Seriously I thought the very same thing you just wrote. You have all those Mexicans running around, unemployed, complaining they don't have money etc etc, and every one of em has AT LEAST 5 kids, who of course don't go to school and just stay in the street before joinin...

shafique

shafique dude, what part of I need to go back to work don't you understand? :D But let me answer your questions, first I did not say that Green Peace was against having large families, that is completely my own viewpoint. I think that is pretty clear, I think poor people should not have large famil...

Well put kanelli.

The world needs more clear thinkers - and less selfish people.

Cheers,

I wouldn't put it past them - they aren't big fans of Iran and hence on this issue they are completely in line with the USA. As much as Saudi may like to see Iran suffer, they need a high oil price to fund their ever increasing costs, and this is of far greater importance to them. Anyway, America i...

Well put kanelli. The world needs more clear thinkers - and less selfish people. Cheers, Shafique nah, that was aristotle, socatres etc. Look at what happened to them guys and their empire. I say we need McDonalds and KFC in every cornere everywhere! p.s. after World War III that is. Mmmmm - McDona...

I think I'll wait for the CD version to come out

It's all hokum - voices do not speak from the dead, if they did they'd tell us something useful - like a Tsunami is about to strike or 'don't go to the twin towers on Sep 11 2001' or 'George Bush is a ****'

Cheers,

Wow - I venture into this forum and find a right old bun fight going on. It looks like fun so I'll join in :lol: What gets me is that Canadian took the time to count 16 bachelors in one flat - wow. Perhaps they were having a house party (but a quiet one by the description of their currently good beh...

And don’t forget Mauritian and Tanzanians, I hear they can be the worst.

I'm still in shock by the fact you shared a 0 bedroom suite with 2 women!

shafique

Good luck Canadianleafnation. It is great that you are thinking about your wife, because as a woman I too would be quite uncomfortable trying to come and go and make use of building perks like the gym or pool (if it has those) if there is a disproportionate number of single and lonely males around....

Where are you Freza? Missing yah..

Maybe he/she is looking up references to prove there's an overpopulation problem

Can't we all get along?

shafique

was someone calling me.....? Shafique, I wonder why you have such a hard time understanding one's opinions at times. I made my overpopulation statement pretty clear; just because population is theoretically sustainable does not make it OK for the population to continue expanding IMHO (the environme...

shafique

Nice conspracy theory but way too far fetched for me. You two have a serious complex about the US if you believe that they can force Saudi to lower the price of oil. I note that you imply that the US may want the Saudis to keep the price down by keeping up production against the wishes of the other...

Another article in today's NYT: Saudi Officials Seek to Temper the Price of Oil http://www.nytimes.com/2007/01/28/business/28oil.html Extract below: How much influence the United States has exerted is an open question. Vice President banana Cheney met with King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia in Riyadh in ...

Oh, and you thought that Maad and I said we were privy to the hushed conversations between Washington and Riyadh did you?

The whole article presents several theories, but I'd read in other media months ago that OPEC wanted to keep oil around 50 bucks this year so it's not like they've suddenly moved it down at the behest of Washington. Yes, several theories about why they wish to keep the price down. Interesting that ...

Francheska you seem to have a chip on your shoulder about Islam. Islam is not unique in advocating chastity before marriage, it is a part of all major world religions. Islam does not say that only women should be chaste - men too are subject to the same commandments, and therefore those who sleep ar...

shafique

Francheska - you seem to be missing the point that Muslim men that abuse women are doing it despite the teachings of Islam, not because of it. The majority of Muslim men are decent and not abusive to their wives - following the example of Prophet of Islam, may peace and blessings of Allah be upon hi...

shafique

Francheska pointed out strong points especially the "reality & what's really happening now" and none of you response to that. Really...really sad. Christianity teaches chastity and abstinence but not to condemn people particularly women who disobeyed it, because Christianity is more o...

Chocs - well said, agree with you on this. It's a cultural thing - the parading of the bedsheet occurs in many cultures around the world and is not something that any religion imposes. It's common around the mediterranean - amongst Greeks, Turks, Jews etc. I wonder how many of the procedures are don...

shafique

Shafique, Christians can forgive the offender even without necessarily asking for forgiveness in person. Ref: The Lord's Prayer. Yes, it is true that the Bible is very clear with its punishment but never heard Churches condemning the churchgoers by stoning or encouraging families to disowned female...

Forumers don't often visit that section. Give me chance, for this thread only. Mod Please... The reason why they don't visit it is because they have no interest in this crap I would guess. Not everyone is into religion or politics (or culture) and quite frankly, it makes for bad discussion and bad ...

Wow - what a breakthrough!

Valkyrie - read the post on the UN Debate of 1948 on the creation of Israel - the number cited there to the council is 300,000. The speaker was speaking with authority and was on a number of committees looking into the Palestine issue I've also read this in a number of different books on the history...
