The world needs ....


Deniz What do you think the world needs now? I think the world needs peace, far from wars and corruption. and have to guard for globular heating.
Tropic23 The world needs more love and respect. Francheska Moral Values Galactico The world needs to understand Islam is a religion of peace shafique Justice. emurella the world needs to stop blaming religon, skin colour,and location for wars and hatered and start blaming the individuals. so that the problems can be sorted. start educating people on everything from beliefs to money management so that we can end all the different types of suffering that are hindering the human race. PARANOID An executioner who kills each and every person who f*cks up the minute they do it on the spot.When bad people disappear peace and everything else will follow. Shermin So true...

Turkey doesnt need European Union; EU needs to Turkey :p
I think problem s not clothes;) if u came to Turkey u know wa i mean.everybody can wear wa they want and do wa they want and believe wa they want too. Actually i dont understand people. The East doesnt like Turkey couse most of belive that Turkey s not a real Muslim country and The West doesnt like Turkey couse of religion. i dont mind all of these and i dont mind European Union. I only angry to all bad politicians. There s a big game in the world and this s just part of this game. Look Bulgaria, Greece bla bla , they r smaller den Turkey and not stronger than us.what s the result?
even Europe wanted from Turkey to accept armenian genocide.There s no so genocide in history. even they changed some pics with photoshop bla bla. Look the history the biggest genocide was Germany, France... but they r member of EU. Anyway i think we dont need EU. ;) Deniz
i gave up to use perfume :p HP
Especially France loves to have Turkey in EU :P .
What gonna Turkish contribute to EU? by making Pizza and opening the shops of Halal shawarma ? :P .
We are already tired of Eastern european . The day West has opened its border for them , only prostitutes and criminal minds are making their way to west . Deniz
i dont discuss with prejudiced people. Thanx ;) HP It doesnt mean that Pakistani are contributing very positive in Europe or UK. Usually UK sends people in Pakistan for higher education in bomb blasting and we prepare some nice suicide bomb attacker for them :P I dont understand why do Indian press , people are offended after "Big Brother reality show". :roll: well come to the topic : World want to have people like me quite often :oops: Galactico
That's not even funny HP us muslims over here had to go through the finger pointing and the crap non muslims showed us because of those bomb blasts. So your jokes are out of place there HP I was travelling to UK after bombing and it was really funny that no one was sitting close to me . Even in easy Jet . It was quite "difficult jet" when i occupied the seat of 3 people as no was coming close to me :lol: But i love it . I love when ppl hate me :P Galactico I remember I read somewhere after the bombings there was 3 people reading salat on the plane and they stopped the plane from going off because they thought these people were acting suspecious. quite a lot of ppl got abuse in those days and a lot of things went down it was not just you remember that brazilian guy they shot dead. It was basically anyone who looked muslim or asian was a traget. we have many people over here who are ignorent they read the sun and believe anything :? eviltart World Only Need PEACE... PEACE is the Sum of all Good things... We Only Have One Planet and One Change.. lets Save Her... PEACE on EARTH.....
kanelli Peace, education, justice, morality and ethics, love, and more concern over global warming (a.k.a globular heating :wink: ) - those all sound great to me! shafique Free Trade freza How about what the world can do without... It can do without so much freaking stupidity! Let's do away with military SP's (in a nice way of course) :P Also, the world needs less people. People that are unable to properly feed or educate their children should not be having kids in the first place. It amazes me to see how little personal responsability the miserable and marginalized can have. kashif more of meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee :P shafique Freza - the world does not need less people. Many countries are now trying to get the birth rate up! freza So does this mean that there isn't a GLOBAL overpopulation crisis? No. Countries like Russia and Japan are trying to get their population up for their economic future (also they don't want to rely on immigration), but the global problem of over-population exists and is very real: Too many humans means overuse of natural resources and the environmental problems that we see now. Also, my specific point is: Some of the poorest are the most prolific breeders. There's something very flawed in this... Galactico The world needs people to take responsibility of their actions shafique
That's right Freza there isn't a Global overpopulation crisis. Current production levels produce more food than the world's population can consume and when it comes to education and healthcare, we just need to spend about 1% of the spending on arms to educate and vaccinate every child in the world.
As many 'developed' countries are now finding, human beings are the best guarantee of a secure future - they are a resource, and if you run short of them, you need to import people to help run the economies and support the ageing population.
Let me turn it around - two of the most populous countries are now starting to turn their population advantage into global economic and military power - India and China.
'Poor' countries do have higher birth rates. Did you know that when sales of woolen clothes increases in the UK, car accidents increase as well! (sorry, a roundabout way of saying that a correlation does not mean causation - warm clothes sell more in winter, accidents happen more in winter).
Many now see the decrease in family sizes as an uneccessary and detrimental choice that is mistakenly equated with 'modernity'.
The world is not overpopulated - there is more than enough to go round.
Cheers,
Shafique ^ian^ Flying Cars. We were promised this 50 years ago... seriously. shafique re-runs of Fawlty Towers freza 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, etc. Just the lands alone that have been cleared up to raise cattle are so vast as to be small countries. There is an overall fresh water shortage globally and also the problem of land erosion in some parts of the world. It seems that some areas are shrinking or sinking into the ocean year by year. Too many people put a strain on the environment. And the environment is at a crisis right now. shafique
Don't believe the hype - overpopulation isn't causing the problem, over consumption by the minority is.
Check out the FAQ at and the numerous other sites that Google throws up if you search for "population crisis".
In the 60s they were predicting that the world would implode if the population reached 4bn - we're way past that now (they similarly got it wrong in the 70's, 80's... )
Cheers,
Shafique freza Shafique, I'm not one to believe in hype. Sheesh, I thought you were a bit more familiar with me... Of course we all know that industrialized countries consume and waste more that developing countries, who doesn't know this? The problem with land erosion and shortage of water for example are very real problems. I'm sure you can google up the statistics on this. The world population can only grow so much while affecting resources - conservation or not - making space for humans entails cutting down rain forests or clearing up natural habitats, and finding sources of fresh water which is increasingly difficult. Are you going to deny that the environmental crisis has nothing to do with so many people? pleaze, let's be a bit more realistic. I say, very poor people should stop having kids. :P bye for now shafique Freza - you didn't click on the link did you :lol: As for your last point - why don't we have a spot of peasant shooting? :wink: Nick81 She actually reminded me of an episode of South Park where one of the kids suggest in a report he did on how to make America a better place, to send all the poor people to camps and get rid of em :lol: freza 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? Also, you have not addressed my points on the population having an impact on the environment - conservation or not - it has an impact a very real one. To say that everything is fine since there is enough food to go around except that inequality in distribution is to sorely miss the point. That food is grown in land that has decimated forests which provide the lungs for the world. The more you destroy to make room for people and their needs, the more the people in turn suffer the consequences eventually. It's really a simple concept. I'm not into killing peasants, I'm not that violent. But if you're all for the very poor to have an entire lot of kids, so that those kids can suffer, hey, well that's what's happening. I guess that's all good for you. shafique
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 way of scaremongering. :)
Cheers,
Shafique Nick81
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 joining some gang. That's the side of L.A. you don't get to see on TV. freza oh so now I'm a concentration camp advocate? Damn. Well whatever, it's not like Freza much cares for what peeps think of her. OK, I see a report on a famine somewhere, that's been going on for a few YEARS and I see that a family has many kids. Many kids who are starving. What the...?? Who's responsible for the famine? Usually it's man-made and the industrialized countries who love to save people happen not to be there en force. But what of these poor people's personal responsibility? Why continue to have kids in such miserable conditions?
Shafique,
You still haven't address my points. Nor did you provide trustworthy sources. Interesting. I'm fresh out of uni I don't need google for everything, still have retained some info you know. Go to the UN Population council and see what they have to say, then we can discuss, deal? shafique 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 around in SUVs contributing to global warming. Greenpeace isn't advocating population control, to the best of my knowledge (correct me if I'm wrong). I have to declare some prior knowledge - I'm an actuary and my field is demographics and population forecasts. All the evidence is that we are in a population crisis - but one of falling numbers of children, not the opposite. Cheers, Shafique freza (((hello))) you finally said something worthy! Now if these people are so desperately poor that they need to border jump, why do they add to their poverty by having an entire lot of kids that they many times can not manage to properly take care of?? Cuz the reality is that many of these border jumpers' offspring end up as thugs.
Shafique, I can't be serious and I need to get back to work. But really, I believe Greenpeace (even though they're labeled as green terrorists) more than you. They care for the environment, what do you care for? So there.
EDIT: Did I just sound incredibly racists? Cuz I just accused someone of being one (a racist) oh well. shafique strewth Freza. Ok, let's go to the UN Population Council :
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 makes interesting reading :
Similarly the 2004 publication on population trends/forecasts.
Perhaps you can enlighten me where these say there is a problem that cannot be dealt with by better redistribution of existing output.
Cheers,
Shafique shafique
I would believe Greenpeace more than me as well.
Perhaps you can show me where they say that people should not have large families.
cheers,
Shafique Nick81 freza my first post wasn't to criticize your viewpoint. Of course that's not a solution for poverty but honestly the things that some people do just crack me up sometime! And the jackasses dare complain that they barely have enough money to survive! Heck, you don't have to go too far to find good examples of this! In Lebanon you find countless people going out EVERY single day of the week, spending fortunes in pubs/clubs/restaurants, and then whining and protesting in the morning that the economy is terrible and that they can't save a dime! Concord The world needs: World War III Nick81
Way to make a comeback mate!! :lol: Where've u been?
Edit: nevermind... :oops: Just realized u had posted a few days ago. It's me who just don't post as often as before... Concord
You are almost right I've posted maybe 4 times in the last week and don't plan on posting much (to the delight of many) until MAC comes back. freza 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 families, period. My own words.
And again, I repeat what I thought I had cleared up earlier, the problem that I'm specifically addressing is the over-breeding with the very poor and the destruction of natural resources in general . You apparently only see one side to this argument and label those that don't see eye-to-eye as fear mongers. I guess that makes you happy... If there are people that think that the environment is not at risk, that it's all in the imagination of the crazy environmentalists..there are also two sides to this issue always, you know.
keywords: soil degradation; deforestation; severe overpopulation: /
I haven't read your latest links but I'll read them later, promise. rvp_legend
You competing for Miss World 2007? ;-)
I personally think abolishing "Interest rates" would be a very very big step forward. shafique
Thanks for clearing that up.
You believe overpopulation is a problem and not Greenpeace. You think that poor people should not 'overbreed'.
You link environmental issues with this 'overbreeding'.
My 'latest links' were your suggestion to look at what the UN says :)
Thank you for making clear the distinction between your views and the references I have given showing that underpopulation is the demographic threat the world is facing at the moment.
Oh - I did click on the two links provided - the UN site doesn't advocate smaller families and the second one says the problem is:
Mismanagement Not Scarcity
"This crisis is one of water governance, essentially caused by the ways in which we mismanage water," conclude the authors of the UN's World Water Development Report (WWDR) issued in March. Freshwater resources are being further squandered due to pollution and the way in which we use water.

So it appears you agree with me after all?? :)
Cheers,
Shafique kanelli Big business and modern convenience are main reasons why the environment is going to hell in a handbasket more quickly. It isn't the large family living in the middle of the India that is the main problem. Not everyone has access to birth control and large families can be desirable because of the high infant mortality rate and the need for children to take on responsibilities of caring for family members. In the more developed part of the world there are fewer people due to lower birth rates, but they put a huge stress on the environment with their living habits. Both educated and small families and uneducated and large families can have negative impacts on the environment. You just have to look at the stats to see that many countries with low birth rates are some of the worst offenders when it comes to environmental degredation and greenhouse gas emissions. As the countries with larger populations gain wealth and start to follow the same standard of living as the previously more developed part of the world, then we'll see some serious environmental impact. It is coming as China and India become superpowers and the standard of living goes up. Look how many Chinese and Indians now want to have a car in order to show status. More cars in the world means more pollution, unless they are cars with new low to non-polluting technology (the world is still waiting for those!). It is definitely possible to support a larger world population if wealth, education, and good environmental practices could be implemented worldwide. This would take a major lifestyle change for many people (including big business), and frankly they aren't willing to do it. Big business wants to churn out products and exhaust resources in order to make huge profits. There is little thought given to the future when people are trying to make money and die with the most toys now. shafique Well put kanelli. The world needs more clear thinkers - and less selfish people. Cheers, Shafique scot1870 The world needs The Libertines in their record collection, they saved rock n' roll so saving humanity should be an easy stretch for them. Don't have the article on this computer but the latest figures show that 4 of the 5 biggest emitters of greenhouse gases per capita are in the GCC, the remaining 2 GCC countries still being in the top 10. The nouveau riche doing their best to upstage the old aristocrats it seems. kanelli In the case of the UAE... - the driving here is so crazy that an SUV could be lifesaving, with better drivers and enforced rules that result in less fatalities, more people would likely switch to smaller cars. Also, the hobby of dune bashing and wadi trekking, and the hobby of rich people buying highly polluting sports cars will likely never go out of fashion here. - a transient population of expats makes for a lot of garbage. So many people moving things in and out of the country and buying new things to settle here. - the culture of buying here is huge. This place is probably second to the US for encouraging consumption. - the lack of environmental policy and infrastructure for handling waste is a problem. Where are the recycling plants and do they really exist? Some people have asked for info about this and get brushed off by the EEG and municipality. Look at the use of non-regional plants to decorate the city. This consumes huge amounts of water and chemicals. People in their homes use tons of electricity and water in this climate. - too much growth too quickly has a huge environmental impact Concord
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. shafique
Mmmmm - McDonalds!
I heard on the radio today that they are the 2nd largest landowner in the world today. (they didn't say who was first)
Cheers,
Shafique zam Dinosaurs! Must be really cool to have around. :wink:
