duder Posted December 24, 2001 Share Posted December 24, 2001 Nute your common sense isnt too hot is it? 'Americans breeding will have little impact on the world. Assume I figure out how to have children and have two little versions of myself running around. Someday I will die and the female I bred with will too That leaves us with a net gain of 0 humans. Starving Africans having children wont' change the world population much. Assume a pair of, say, Sudanis have five children. One dies shortly after birth, one starves several years later, and (just to mix it up) one is killed by a forgotten land mine. Eventually the parents die too from whatever. Population gain: 0.' Those two little versions of you running around will probably have two kiddies each themselves. therefore there is a pop increase. Then you say this, 'In short, I think it's stupid to limit my breeding because we just MIGHT run into a little bit of snag down the road ' Now i just think you are plain stupid. The 'little snag' will inevitably happen, your indifference is typical though, but unfortunate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite there jackass, they will require to have a MATE to do so, unless Nute is unknowingly living over a nuclear waste dump that mutates him and he gives birth to kids that are asexual(god forbid ) then thats 2 paresnts-2kids=0 change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander 598 Posted December 24, 2001 Share Posted December 24, 2001 With all the technology and medicines available now to the larger countries(North America,Europe,Russia) the life expectancy has increased dramatically since 1900. I can take an educated guess and say that almost every child born in the area mentioned above will almost surely survive to reproduce. According to charts the world population has increased nearly 2-3 billion since the 20th century began. Also with the older people living longer that adds more requirements to the needs of the world. Also wars control the population and if we really do have world peace in the future(I really don't see it happening) we can expect a growing population. I expect the world population to be near 10 billion by the year 2100. If not larger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nute Gunray Posted December 24, 2001 Share Posted December 24, 2001 Originally posted by duder two kiddies each themselves. therefore there is a pop increase. NOPE. I'm still right. Observe graphic: To keep it simple, I only drew the offspring of one of the mated pairs of people. As you can clearly see, only mere replacement is occuring instead of growth. That's why the US population has only grown a few dozen million in the last 25 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander 598 Posted December 24, 2001 Share Posted December 24, 2001 Nute you say that as if everyone is going to have only 2 kids. What about those with 3,7,12? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nute Gunray Posted December 25, 2001 Share Posted December 25, 2001 What about the ones with 0,1, or never get married? It's an established fact that the US population has barely grown after the Baby Boom. Western Europe is actually losing population. Industrialized nations don't suffer from the same problems that the third world does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitro Posted December 26, 2001 Share Posted December 26, 2001 Well, my current girlfriend is such a mother it's scary... This family that used to live here had their two daughters practically raised by her, cause both of them worked constantly... And she did it for free because she just loves kids, and she's one of those people that won't take money for being nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel Loyaltist Posted December 27, 2001 Share Posted December 27, 2001 At least 4 kids. That way everyone has a brother and a sister. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cmdr. Cracken Posted December 27, 2001 Share Posted December 27, 2001 I still maintain ZERO children is the best option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitro Posted December 27, 2001 Share Posted December 27, 2001 I wanna have kids eventually... but not 'till I'm almost 30... You just don't bring a child into this world when you're not financially prepared to support the grocery-sucking appetite on legs... Especially once that grocery-sucking appetite on legs hits puberty and becomes a grocery-sucking, wallet-thinning, insurance-hike on legs...

Keyan Farlander Posted December 28, 2001 Author Share Posted December 28, 2001 I'd like to be DONE having kids by 30. It'd be nice to start at around 23, I think. Sadly, I doubt I'll be able to find a wife by then. Oh well. Just have to take things as they come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
