Agreed that 'control' is unacceptable, but how do you 'limit growth'...

It's probably more accurate to say that it's education leading to rejection of religious 'guidance', but as that is more likely to happen in the wealthy 'developed' world a bit of a moot point..
.... if it was just wealth, then we clearly aren't paying Tony Blair or Ruth Kelly enough....
apologies for the annoying question, but are you absolutely seething because of his comments, or because you feel unable to directly engage/challenge him in any way other than complaining on urb?
(i wouldn't be confident enough to directly engage/challenge him, so please don't take this question as an implied criticism)

Well... there are plenty of neo-nazis who are also gay, but there are also plenty of mad humanity-hating eugenicists who aren't nazis (they might be extreme environmentalists, or just particular child-haters, or just misanthropists in general.)
There is nothing he's said so far that gives you any right whatsoever to complain about him, neither is there anything he's said that necessarily concludes he's a racist or anti-Chinese. He might just be expressing an extreme version of the contempt for 'breeders' which is unfortunately pto be found in SOME (NOT ALL) gay circles.
I've read/heard the opinion that "people ought to need a license to breed" from all sorts of straights, and non-Nazis , from very committed environmentalists, to people who've spent lives working in child protection and developed a very jaundiced view of parenthood in general from decades of working with the worst parents imaginable. You might find it wrongheaded or annoying, but it's an arguable case.

A bit too quick to jump to an assumption that it was meant that way perhaps?
I read it that china's thinking was good and should be applied outside of china.
I have a horrible feeling that many countries (UK included) are reversing evolution.
Those on benefits or in poverty are those having mutiple children (in some countries as a kind of a pension scheme) and those who are well off are the ones have only children.
We're spreading the genes of the unsuccessful people and diminishing the genes of those who are paying for them.
Its an unpopular viewpoint i know but the logic is there.

A bit of both really, if it was outside of work I would've challenged him and shown him up for the idiot that he is, but it's not worth getting into a conflict at work about, so I was quite woudn up at having to bite my tongue.
He didn't say anything explicitly racist. And as much as I think he's a piece of shit for them, he's entitled to his (stupid, misguided) views.
How can you "reverse evolution"? Even if the traits being passed on are not neccessarily favourable ones, we're still evolving. Evolution has no goal or aims to strive towards, and is not guided in any way.

There are currently some 30 million more Chinese men than there are Chinese women, owing to the sheer number of aborted females under the One Child Policy. By 2050, if trends continue, that number will be in the order of 50 million, meaning that a goodly portion of the population will be denied the opportunity to marry and raise a kid.
Perhaps this nazi is envisioning some sort of gay utopia in the future based on situational homosexuality?
The other way is famine or resource war. Do those offend your delicate sensibilities less?

guy's right, there are people having kids that just shouldn't and are not able to be responsible parents. But how DO you regulate such a thing without cover-all policies like China? "Dear teenage crack-whore; Please don't have more babies after the first two, no matter what your pimp says"?
