Russia experiencing Depopulation

Russian population decline

Now is the time to tell you I have a 214 IQ and you can clone from me...

Maybe they are all just moving to Abkhazia and South Ossetia.

Nice glasses. You think he wears a bow tie?

Xabulba,

He probably thinks that bow ties are some kind of liberal plot to destroy all "true Americans" way of life.

I can think of some other times when people thought everyone should dress the same.

Xabulba,

Zon Kuthon Final avatar

Communism (Maoism) follows a far right political/social philosophy; NeoCons also follow a far right political/social philosophy so it's no surprise that they have the same opinions about dress codes.

Garydee,

Actually, communism is a far left philosphy. Fascism is the far right philosophy you're thinking of. Neo-cons were center-right democrats who left the party to become Republicans. They are conservatives but hardly far-right. Paleo-cons, like Rush Limbaugh and myself, are much further to the right than the neo-cons.

A bunch of people with power telling the little man what to wear and think sounds like far right to me. Also every newpaper and tv have been telling me for the last 4 years that Rush, Cheany and Bush are NeoCons so I call'em NeoCons.

Yes, I know. That's another reason why modern journalism is such trash.:) The people you have mentioned are paleo-cons. Although you could make a case for Bush as a neo-con, that might be a stretch. Neo-cons are more like John McCain and Susan Collins. Do some searching on the net and you'll see what I mean.

Communism was definatly the cause of the problem. Once you put a stop to Village Girls being raped for sex by the Tsar's Troops so that they no longer have twelve kids in their breeding lifetime, all sorts of Population control philosophies creep into society.

Of course, that also sounds like the kind of folks who push political correctness, and who fight against smoking, and McDonald's, and Wal-Mart, and Al Gore, and....

If ya go far enough to the left or right ya end up on the other side. Thats why if ya give too much power to either the left or right you end up with a dictatorship and people being rounded up for not being "normal".

honestly speaking, as far as generalizations go, pinning this stuff on a left right spectrum is b~@%%%~~.

I find this one less prone to odd aliances.

Or the European one here, on the left. (on the left... hehe) I MEAN ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE PAGE!

WTF? The Russians are legislating population control? I don't think so but then I may be wrong. The way I took it is that they have minimal immigration, significant emigration, short life span, and ready access to birth control.

How about this. Once your country is so overpopulated that its seriously f#!~ing with your quality of life population control philosophies inevitably appear.

Or when an ethnicity that you really don't like is growing faster than your own, and is more prosperous (or yadda yadda along those lines), the same thing happens. And maybe some eugenics too.

Take both, you got real trouble.

Ya, ism's are bad, including generalism's.

Garydee's

Economic Left/Right: 4.62
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 2.72

Not surprising.

How many of you were saying to yourself "please don't rate me with Hitler" over and over again before you saw the results?
