What's Really Behind Europe's Decline? It's The Birth Rates, Stupid

Sure the population will peak but its all downhill from there. Historically various areas/empires etc never recovered from such low fertility rates.
I reckon all the crap in the food only helps it along.[

who says its all downhill ,
who is this great mystical fortune teller is ot same one that told you carbs are bad lol
never recovered christ half europe was killed off
with plagues nd wars its always bounced back african famines havent hurt populations either

As I said before, you can read about the ageing of Europe here:

And the ageing of Japan here:

And the ageing of the United States here:

There is barely a nation anywhere in the 'developed world' that has a birthrate satisfactory to maintain its population, an average of 2.1 children per woman. The EU average is 1.6 children per woman. There are any number of articles discussing this, here is one of them:

You can sit here and debate the whys and wherefores all day long, but it won't make any difference to the demographic shift which is absolutely inevitable if present behaviour continues, and extensively documented.

Too MANY carbs, way more than we would naturally eat if it weren't for processed foods.
Not ALL carbs are bad

Of course it bounced back...it had a much higher fertility rate didn't it? :p

LOL!! Wub is my puppet? Thanks for the compliment!
I'm not the one finding pro establishment lesbo feminist journalists to desperately try and claw ppls attention away from facts.
I'm assuming the 'grammar' seems similar because we've both had an education...

I was merely pointing out that virtually every country in the developed world has a birth rate which will guarantee a greying and declining population. That is an established fact. Whether you choose to accept it or not is up to you.

If birth rates increase, which doesn't seem likely at present for economic reasons, then naturally this trend will be reversed. But you are apparently against the video in the OP, which suggests this very thing, but also apparently believe that it's going to happen anyway. You seem a bit confused.

why does that tone sound familar ?
if in difficulties resort to insults .
expect articles in links to disected
and old crusty belief systems to be humoured
but largely ignored
(grove you listening )
in other words if you cut n paste everything you post (hmm who did that on dif )
you better have backup for those winging it on a peasants education

personal , lol ,
what part the bit were i compare you to a puppet of andyh's jesus h grow a set mate i dont kbow you personally your words on a screen how in gods name could i.make a personal remark about you ,
again twisting ,
i posted a link regarding the backrounds of those responsible for vid
and gave an explanation when pushed of why i thought they had valid points regarding the intent behind vid
and you and andyh both wade in cunt n padte merchants and twisting everything then insults tnow accusations.

1. We wel­come debate and dis­sent, but the key to main­tain­ing sanc​tum​zone​.co​.uk as an invit­ing space is to stick to the pas­sion­ate dis­cus­sion of issues. We actively dis­cour­age obscen­ity and mind­less abuse. Per­sonal attacks on other users or authors have no place in an intel­li­gent dis­cus­sion. Sim­i­larly, we wel­come crit­i­cism of the articles/​threads pub­lished, but will not tol­er­ate per­sis­tent mis­rep­re­sen­ta­tion of the authors post­ing on the web­sites. For the sake of robust debate, we will dis­tin­guish between con­struc­tive, focused argu­ment and smear tactics.

2. We reserve the right to redi­rect or cur­tail con­ver­sa­tions which descend into flame-​wars based on ingrained par­ti­san­ship or gen­er­al­i­sa­tions. We don’t want to stop peo­ple dis­cussing top­ics they are enthu­si­as­tic about, but we do ask that users find a way of shar­ing their views that does not feel divi­sive, threat­en­ing or toxic to others.

Those are the rules you signed up to, so I would advise you to stick to them. I'm not interested in some playground argument or namecalling.

My only point, as I have stated twice, is that the birth rates of Japan, Europe and North America are insufficient to maintain the population. That is a fact. There is no evidence that they're going to increase, but they will need to if we wish to avoid a greying, declining population. If you don't have anything further to say on this subject, that's fine.

Its also familiar to see some resorting to moaning about cut n paste when in fact its just links
Its also familiar to see someone have a good gripe and then have nothing to back it up with....not that you would want to link to Ted Turner, cough, LOL!

maybe i shouldve quoted those rules when you
posted snide comments about ars those things that pass you , or grammatical comments etc etc ,
but then im not petty or ott i get all this shit for posting a backround report on those that made the video and i repeat being objective perhaps you think i desserve this shitstorm just for looking at the picture as a whole and with un biased eyes ,
i think your attitude has surfaced your quoting rules at me that you have flaunted many more times than i ,
and btw in reply to one of your flauntings english is my first language .
