Quote:As for the case of their being to many humans abortions cool . I think economist would disagree ,as birthrates are shrinking in the developed world , The real threat is job vacancies and total lack of future labor, fewer tax payers as well. What do you think that "social sercurity issue is all about" to many old retirees to few younger tax payers to support it.
The birth-rates are shrinking in which developed worlds? I know Japan is one of them, but as far as I know, they aren't shrinking in America. Perhaps you mean Canada? Do you have any references? I don't think it takes a great leap of faith to believe that globally, overpopulation should be more of a concern than underpopulation.
Quote:The other problem is to many babies from poorly educated 3rd world diseased religiously radical parts of world who don't much approve of our way of life.*Pakistan and Mexico*
This sounds like a bunch of paranoia. Do you approve of the United States having invaded Iraq? And when did Mexico become a radically religious part of the world that hates our way-of-life?

Quote:, If a place needs neutering its the 3rd world and everywhere Osama bin laden popularity rating is higher then that of their president.
Frankly, they can believe whatever they want, as long as they aren't aiding terrorists.
Quote:Allot of the pro abortion claims about unwanted children growing up to be gangsters has already been debunked,
Right, I wouldn't have believed that. However, it just doesn't seem right for child birth to be focused solely on its emotional impact, rather than efficiency.
Quote:In London if not local born kids shooting up the hood then it will be the immigrant kids from families brought in to supplement labor shortages some of which come from fucked up places were crime is prevalent that will pump up the numbers
Are you a xenophobic person in general?
Quote:in the end the effect makes no difference on crime perhaps worse.
Perhaps worse? How would forcing parents to raise an unwanted child lessen crime?
Quote:Countries are already handing out cash incentives for people to have children like japan Italy, Cyprus has a plan for 50,000 dollars each if people with already 2 children add a third or fourth.
That's fine for places where underpopulation is a problem (I don't know if that's actually the case for Italy and Cyprus). It's acceptable to give financial aid to those low on the economic ladder for having a child, but it shouldn't be made into an incentive to pop out baby after baby. Personally, I'm against parents having big families (I'm talking 4+ children) by principle. This would vary in a case-by-case survey, of course, but generally, it seems the more kids parents have, the less attention can be given to each individual child.
Quote:The case for prostitution , If legalized have it one part of town indoors and out of sight at a specific spot, Both the hooker and the john pay a tax . Get stiffer on illegal prostitution once you do it.
That sounds about right, depending on how you define "illegal prostitution." Let's say a secretary is in dire need of some extra cash, as she is a struggling, single mother (boy, does this sound like a build-up to a porn, or what?). Her boss offers her a financial supplement in exchange for sex. Should that be illegal, since she is not undergoing the typical avenues of exchanging sex for money (which, in this case, would be to enlist in the proper place and go through set procedures)? I doubt you'd disagree with that, since it seems your main gripe is keeping it off the streets and out of sight, so perhaps my example is superfluous.
I don't think one designated spot in one part of town is necessary. Keeping it behind-closed-doors is fine, as long as there's a someone at the door to ask customers for identification if they look too young.
