ParticipantChina has huge problems with the so-called one-child policy. It destroys the social fabric of a country, specifically those that have a strong family component to the society (aka China). In addition it leads to wide-spread infanticide. This leads to a huge demographic problem. By 2030 it is estimated that there will over 30 million more 20-30 year old men than women in China. That is a lot of frustrated youth that the government has no idea how to address.
Sorry, one child policy is not the answer.

ParticipantPeople already have the choice of living as you describe. Isn’t it better to have the choice of living the lifestyle you prefer, rather than being forced to live a certain way?

Participantwell, no one really cares what i (or any of us want)…but that doesn’t stop me from thinking i know what i want. and you. I’m not particularly interested in less people. i’m more interested in less desire. For more house. more space. more of everything. falling house prices is good. might incentivize buidlers to build smaller houses. might encourage less consumption. if we earn less, and consume less, we might be better off. I suppose in a sense, “reproducing” is the ultimate consumption, in that we consume reosurces through others (that is, our offspring). course, we dont need an official govt policy for one kid. just have it make economic sense…too late for those of us who have a buncha kids. like me…
