Test should be required to own dogs and cats and people shouldn’t be able to own more than three pets max. The same way you need to pass a drivers test in order to operate vehicles and more advanced drivers test for more advanced and complicated vehicle, that needs to apply to pet ownership as well.
Most people can’t handle owning pets, they are incapable or don’t have the resources to do so. This isn’t even including the neglectful and abusive pet owners who don’t maintain the hygiene of the pet or property the pet is in.

STOP BRINGING YOUR PETS TO THE GROCERY STORE. No, I’m not talking about the genuine service animals, I’m talking about the shitzu who piddled in produce, or the rat dog who’s barking at an actual service animal, I don’t care if you call it an emotional support animal it’s not trained and it doesn’t belong near food you selfish fuckwits.
it’s a fucking grocery store for people, not petsmart or home depot.
and people shouldn’t be able to own more than three pets max.
So much for couples with pre existing cats.
Add children to that and I’m with you.
There is nothing more totalitarian in existence than government regulating people’s reproduction. It’s for people who see abortion bans and think: this is great, but how can we extend the same principals and logic to men?

Ususally, totalitarian regimes wont only punish parents for violation of the policy, but also the children. I was the second child born in Mainland China during the one child policy, and they denied legal documents and essentially tried to denied my existence for as long as possible (practically treating me like a “bastard child”, as if I were born out of wedlock or something). They demanded my parents to pay a massive amount of money (aka: a “fine”) so I could have a legal identity. My mother also got forcibly sterilized after that.

Without legal documents, you basically are like an illegal immigrant in your own country.
Its horrible. Both Forced Birth and Forced Abortion policies are two sides of the same coin, government overreach where there shouldn’t be.
Yeah, I guess it’s one of those things like communism. Great on paper but humans can’t be trusted to admin it.
Not even the death penalty?
I believe the birth rate need to increase. So that doesn’t need to become more difficult in my opinion
I believe the birth rate need to increase.
Dropping the real unpopular opinion in the comments.
That’s not too unpopular
That’s a… “suspect” belief.
Earth has a finite amount of surface area and each human life requires several thousand calories of food energy and several million liters of oxygen each year. If the global population is not allowed to stabilize peacefully it will stabilize chaotically and likely catastrophically.
Neither arguing for a future breakdown of civilization nor a preferential increase in one nation or ethnicity seem like reasonable positions.
There are plenty of countries still well within their population growth means and they should grow their population. Nz could easily sustainablu support another 5m people. Its only a few outliers (china, India) that are so big they can’t support their population without importing food and water.
“not EVERY nation on the planet is so overpopulated they cannot support themselves!” is a hell of a rationale to encourage generally increasing birthrates.
Its the bare minimum required. Birth rates should be above replacement rate. Currently they are not. I’m in favour of raising birthrates for many reasons but i think the contention is on the sustainability aspect which is why I choose to point out that most countries are currently in a position to sustainably increase their population.
If you want to argue that china/Nigeria/india should not have an increasing birth rate then I’d agree because that is not currently sustainable. Unsustainable population growth forces war or famine. At the moment china can trade for food but the moment something changes and they can’t they are forced to make a choice. The generally increasing birth rates are from countries that can’t sustain themselves. I dont think they should have as high of a birth rate as they currently do.
I’m in favour overall world birthrates increasing but it should be growing throughout the world sustainably instead of booming in the poorest most resource starved places.
I dont care for the panic of different ethnicities within a country. I think once the overall conditions improve to where the birthrates raise all the ethnicities I’m that country will roughly balance out to similar birthrates and they will mix anyway.
I dont think any of that id crazy or shocking rationale.
You’re posting growth as if it were an inherent good, instead of a surefire recipe for future catastrophe.
My assertion against the correctness of “growth is good” is the finite size of earth. I’d like to hear your assertion for that theorum’s correctness.
Someone gets it.
Where?! Cause if we get more Americans, for example, that’s just gonna create more turmoil, death and suffering in the world!
