No, there are several other factors like no extra curricular/organized activities, sex education/condoms, etc. I have traveled to many 5th-3rd world countries and have worked with organizations like the Red Cross to know that there are many factors.

Because American men prefer t.v. to sex................................

That sounds more like the reasons for pregnant teenagers in developed countries...

It's a generally known statistic that third-world countries with lower rates of education and less developed social infrastructure tend to have higher birth rates, while people in developed countries are having fewer and fewer children.
Sure, that guy that guy posted this stated this in a very crude and blunt manner, but I don't feel like he intended to offend anyone with a reasonable conclusion. If you have information that contradicts his assumption, please state it, instead of presenting hypothetical scenarios about people in third-world countries being faced with either watching TV or having sex.

No ofc i dont belive that, have debated birth rates earlier and know that there are a huge number of factors involved. Just wanted to point out that there might be a tiny tiny grain of truth to it... I do know that when the power fails at home it's time to brush my teeth and place a water-bottle by the bed, but not sure how true it holds or the big picture

WTF are you talking about? Did you even read the post or everything I wrote? Please read all comments again and then tell me what you want.
Edit: Of course there is a higher birthrate in developing countries but the reason for this is not a fucking lack of entertainement. Damn, you guys are driving me crazy.

You don't get it do you? Please also read my edit in the previous post.
I never argued that there is no higher birthrate, please show me my post where I said that. The reason fps gives is the offensive part. Just read the whole quote for once...

Guys! There's a thread for this. Keep it there.
dybydx was just temp banned for 90 days by Nyovne. That account was created on 2007-12-05 16:58:24 and had 1696 posts. Reason:Show nested quote +On February 09 2011 17:24 dybydx wrote:
the more important question is: is she hot? You just managed to rack up pretty much every single kind of warning or ban there is to give on this site with notes to permanently ban you on your next transgression. Well this is that transgression but since I'm in a lenient mood and somehow recovered some faith in humanity during last night I'm going to give you three months to think about this and how you are going to do better when you return to us here. One tip, think before you post from now on and ponder if you'd find it a suitable reply to a comment made by Manifesto's mother in law (who wields a mean switch and is very high on respect I must mention).
Not sure if 90 days is more lenient than a permanent ban. I was under the impression that you'd probably be able to get a new account in less than 90 days after getting a permanent ban. I might just be making that up though. Also, there's the downside of not being able to keep your name.
I like the last part. Unless, of course, you're actually a reasonable person and post like you are talking to another reasonable person. I guess if you have trouble with that then you can imagine talking to Manifesto's mother-in-law.

I'm going to just go throw out all my books and smash my tvs tonight so that when my gf comes over later she is inexplicably overcome by the urge to hump for 12 hours out of boredom

I commented on how this thread shouldn't be about population growth, but it looks like someone beat me to it.
in the meantime, this is a pretty funny post by hot bid regarding the moderation

The problem is, in every Forum the mods have the power of god. It is up to them (and the admins) to decide whether or not to bind themselves by objective rules. Most cases they choose to follow personal feelings. It's much more emotionally easy to do.
Can I really say what my honest opinion is of moderation here? Obviously not. Does it say in the rules that one is not allowed to pass criticism on mods? I don't think so. Hence, moderation is non-objective. If you irritate someone's feelings around here or if they think you are wrong, you'll get penalized.
Granted, every forum requires rules and strict moderation. But it needs good rules and it needs a commitment to objectivity. Otherwise you get a bunch of sucker-uppers who all agree with what the "men of the law" think and feel.
You guys want to choose a favorite mod, go ahead. I personally think the only thing to choose here would be the lesser of options that are fairly bad... Your illustrious history on this site: ----- You register your first account ----- 1 warning for racism 2 warnings for flaming 1 warning for backseat moderating 2 warnings for +1's / spam / one liners 1 warning for calling NesTea fans trolls 1 ban for posting "Mods piss me of" after 7 previous warnings. ----- You register new account ----- 90 day ban for complaining that TLO gets preferential treatment on forums ----- You register new account ----- Ban for trying to circumvent previous ban. ----- You register new account ----- (This one, Liberty7) 1 warning for "pics please" harassment of female members
Feel free to give us an honest critique of moderation. Anyone is free to make a thread in Website Feedback about it. Nobody will be banned for that. Just keep it out of this thread.

His response makes it even better:
Humm... no agenda. That was my boyfriend's account. We live together. I do not have a double account. I only posted whatever Liberty7 posted.

He's not right, he just has a "feeling" about it and it seems to link two truths (higher birthrates, and lack of entertainment [which in itself is a poor assumption- there's less availability of your type of entertainment].) There is nothing to confirm his feeling because the two are only very loosely correlated, at best. The increased child bearing rate has more to do with agrarian societies with low life expectancy where more children are necessary for survival. In industrial societies, where only adults work, children are a cost to living.
Lack of protection is part of it, but birth rates declined in most industrializing countries before contraception became common. This isn't some new phenomenon.
Either way, yeah, let's stop the derailment.

Erm, no. It's not. I don't think you are trying to be offensive on purpose but you really should do your research before assuming things like this.

Hahah, I felt like the lock+ban of the hamster story (primarily the ban) were a bit harsh... he put a funny spin on the story but I felt like he genuinely tried to care for the hamster, even if the circumstances regarding the purchase of said hamster were questionable.

Arbattack was bad news. Glad someone got rid of him. Seemed like a lot of his "blogs" / posts were brag blogs / something terrible with a funny twist on it(probably not true).
|
Hahah, makes sense. I have a dog in the family, love him to death, but I've also had a hamster in my childhood, and I know how incredibly frustrating and aggravating and helpless it is to have a wild hamster on the loose, so I actually sort of empathized with the poster, and thus I thought it was harsh for the double-whammy, but I can understand the posting history not helping the guy.

Why? He was clearly proud to present his story of buying a hamster with his friend to mess around with and how it died in his subwoofer. If he really cared about the hamster he wouldn't have made a thread portraying it as a funny story. He was only sorry his Logitech speakerset died.
It was good the thread got closed, because my post wasn't devoid of the word "asshole".
