Whereupon YCHTT made this post, missing Besoeker's point and throwing in a completely pointless and gratuitous insult against Besoeker for no reason, not the first time he's done such.

Your rant should be directed against them if you don't agree with their idea.

I was obviously talking about the government you complete idiot.

I've already made the below post on the same thread where I have apologized.

To be fair though, whilst I shouldn't have called him that, you're totally wrong about me being mistaken, for no reason etc etc - you've just assumed that I'm wrong.

As proved above it is linked in with govt policy.

Anyway let's not start a separate discussion thread here....

Sorry Clippo, no hurt intended if any has occurred.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Firstly Akria, I totally commend you for speaking out in condemnation of this organization.

You say "they(the government) have nothing to do with the suggestion"

Are you sure about that ?

First, note that the article says: "But critics said doctors and governments had no right to tell parents how many children to have - and that population control could lead to more problems than it solved."

Ok not too much proven so far, but obviously the person that made the statement felt the need to mention government, so I'm not alone at least.

Now look at this:

Optimum Population Trust | FPRI Think Tank Directory

So yes it's a think tank.

Notice it says:

Audience:
Policymakers !!

Who else but governments are the policymakers ?

Sure you may argue that technically that doesn't necessarily mean that government will adopt it as policy, but when we consider the government's green agenda and what's seems to be staring us in the face, we should be very concerned indeed.

Note also I have said several times on this forum what the future government policy would(ok "may") be - was that just a total co-incidence ?

Bear in mind if it does becomes policy, then it's too late.

Another thing you may notice is that the above think tank is under the umbrella of the FPRI - i.e. Foreign Policy Research Institute.

Hmmm - interesting ?

Now I wasn't sure what this meant until I went to the section "About FPRI" to see who they were and read their mission statement where it clearly says:
(follow this link - About FPRI)

"Mission
Founded in 1955, FPRI is devoted to bringing the insights of scholarship to bear on the development of policies that advance U.S. national interests. We add perspective to events by fitting them into the larger historical and cultural context of international politics."

U.S National Interests ?!!!!

Why the hell does the Optimum Population Trust come under the banner of an institute that seeks to advance U.S national interests ?!!!

Oh yes I forgot it's a "global" problem ?!

So forgive me but it has potentially and most likely everything to do with government policy !

To think that these "thinks tanks" are independent of government is I believe, a bit naive to say the least.

In truth, they exist as institutions which help support government's policy and interests - hence "U.S national interests".
Note not the interests of the environment, the earth or the world but "policies that advance U.S. national interests."

Anyway I apologize to Clippo for calling him an idiot but please wake up and smell the coffee people.

I'm sure that, if he ever reads that thread, Clippo will be jolly pleased and, possibly somewhat puzzled, for having received an apology in a thread where he hasn't (yet) posted.

ychtt just got it wrong.

..and what do you expect the mods to do?

I respect all of your posts and all of your opinions (yes YCHTT, even you). You're all big boys, can't we leave it?

Thank you for the compliment Aardvark :-) :-)

Evidently not a lot.
Even when one member posts a completely pointless and gratuitous insult against another - then apologises to the wrong person.

If that is to be treated with complete impunity then what else can posters get by with?

......laissez-faire rules.......

If you hadn't made such a ridiculous statement to begin with, the moderators might have taken you more seriously.

What else can posters get by with?

What about the push for global warming and one world government ?

That is acceptable here so there's not too much reason to complain.
