It is not. In nature, interspecies competition can be so harsh, it can wipe out the entire species in process of selection. Species can also diverge into two distinctly different species.

Priority is always placed on your own genetic line and line of those close to you genetically over that of entire species for aforementioned reasons among other things.

There is a counter argument to that. Most of these women are the smarter, more viable types carrying better genes. If they are selected out of the gene pool, it's to overall detriment to human evolution in short term.

Overall, genetic selection hasn't been very suitable for human species after we have uplifted ourselves from animal level of intelligence. That method of selection is simply not well suited to select most viable members of that kind of a species. Your issue is one of the better examples. We need people to get more intelligent to progress as species, and yet those who are the most intelligent are in fact getting selected out of the gene pool because they don't breed nearly as much as those who just blindly follow their animalistic instincts.

You go around beating women on the head with a club and dragging them into your cave?

This is actually a very solid argument. While those who suffer the most from overpopulation are in poor third world countries, those who cause this are predominantly in first world, as every single person in first world consumes a very large amount of resources in comparison, and requires a pretty heavy pillaging of third world ecology to maintain their level of life.

I can't say I totally agree with your reasoning, but I can understand the logic. And well, if you do both have nieces and nephews, you could argue that your genetic line is more or less continuing regardless of your actions.

Babies are continuation of your genetic line, which is your concern and your concern alone first and foremost.

Actually, it's not quite that bad for men. While the quality of sperm is known to start to deteriorate eventually, male sperm is far less susceptible to this problem than female eggs.

That and the fact that we know that male sperm quality has been dropping fairly steadily over last century or so. Age doesn't appear to protect against that (i.e. quality of sperm of younger men is also going down), and we're not really sure what's causing it.

Sadly, not tongue in cheek. Nowadays many parents view that parenting like many other business tasks can be outsourced.

It's a major problem with modern schooling for example. Traditionally schools were mainly about providing education. Now they are widely expected, especially by older parents to provide at least partial parenting.

This is causing a large amount of friction in many countries that are seen the phenomena of older parents.

So you are telling us that essentially all agencies across Europe responsible for taking refugees are lying and you are correct?

Quite an ego you have there.

Cheap work force. One of the most valuable commodities in the world for capitalist megacorps, and South Korean chaebols fit that description to a tee.

It's raison d'etre for Kaesong industrial complex.

Has it ever occurred to you that refugees are well known to significantly exaggerate their experiences as to secure their status?

You have but to ask any agency in EU that has to work with refugees to get a valid opinion on that particular aspect of refugees, and it's going to be the opposite of pretty.

Can't. I live in another state with long border with Russia. Finland. Unless you're calling for me to get out of my home country, I cannot exit the situation.

And NATO with help of our single pro-NATO party are slowly pushing us into situation which Ukraine is today, in spite of massive popular opposition to independence.

Here's a fairly reasonable opinion piece on what's going on in there:
http://www.aljazeera.com/indep...

Have you ever heard of "universal conscription"? Ukraine has that. That means that almost every male of age is a trained soldier in reserve. Of those, quite a few are going to be trained special forces in reserve.

We also know that these local police and army units have defected to their side when the conflict started. Western media likes to call those "occupation of buildings" when in reality it's more of a police and army defecting to the protesters' side and using their resources to arm the reservists among the protesters.

That's why they have such an amalgam of gear in most cases. They just grab whatever gear and uniform is available, and that's often a mix of various camo patterns for different seasons and from different branches of forces. Before the defections, they had an even greater of a mix, there are images of people wearing things like surplus German army jackets and similar stuff. But having 10 men in same gear is nothing out of the ordinary. Most barracks and police stations would likely have much more of the same kind of gear in storage.

I'm sorry, but you'll have to look elsewhere for the "smoking gun" that these are Russian forces. This ain't it even by a long shot.

You appear to have swallowed the propaganda line of the West. That is simply not true - out of three countries with land borders with North Korea, two do not have views you describe.

As for economics, similar things happened to all USSR-supported economies worldwide after USSR collapsed. The only thing that differed was severity. And it's not like North Korea doesn't have a decent economy today, they actually have a blooming industrial sector to which even Western companies started to outsource work, you have places like Kaesong where South Korea manufactures a lot of things that need cheap workforce and they are even exporting various weapons, usually to regimes that are under West and UN sanctions blocking weapon exports. And recently, they actually had a very strange jumpstart of private sector, with privately owned, technically illegal business being born and operating in the country with tacit acceptance from central government.

Last one is likely the result of success of South Korea's long term goal of tying North more and more to itself financially, which is causing changes in North's internal structures.

You may have noticed that even when succession happened within family, in controlled fashion, with significant preparation by the predecessor and power structures, the road to becoming a new leader was very bumpy.

Removing one suddenly by force is going to cause a much greater rift in the power. One has to understand that North Korea - style stalinist dictatorships have extreme ties of all sectors directly to the leader. Not people around the leader as more bureaucratic nations around the world usually have, but the leader himself. As a result, uncontrolled change in leadership would cause a collapse of that network if successor wasn't trained and accepted by network already.

All but one account. I stand corrected.
