"But that's all right, you use public transport so this make your life 'sustainable' and gives you right to bitch about how *others* abuse the planet."
Having a child is THE most enviromentally damaging thing any one person can do because that child will on average live for 60 years. I currently have none and don't plan on having any , so yes, it doesn't give me the fucking right to bitch about feckless morons having 10 kids then whining that they can't feed them.
Here goes another strawman devastated by might of your logic. It is not about you non-existent kid - it is about YOUR lifestyle depleting oil, rare earth metals and multitude of other irreplaceable resources. So either go live in cave eating only what you can raise (without depleting soil of course) or stop embarrassing yourself with your white rich kid understanding of 'sustainability'. Also how much child is environmentally damaging varies - you can be sure that 10 kids born to some forgotten tribe in Amazonian jungle are much less damaging than your single person.
"We will change when we need to change. I see it as better argument than your pathetic hypocrisy."
Nothing hypocritical about my argument whereas yours is nothing but lame vague on a wing and a prayer hand waving.
Let me use smaller words then. You are depleting planet resources. You are bitching about others doing the same. That's hypocrisy.
You say we can change , we can cope , blah fucking blah , well tell me - how come there are still 4 MILLION people homeless after typhoon haiyan in indonesia if we such a resilient species? We seem to be pretty bloody useless at coping with natural disasters frankly.
Do you expect them to become 4 million corpses tomorrow? If not, they are coping and they proved to be quite resilient. In time they will build back.
"while using your computer, living in nice apartment, driving a car and enjoying modern medicin"
Sure, I use modern tech , but I use public transport and I don't have 10 kids. There's something called sustainability.
Ooh, you use public transport so it is all right. That minuscule reduction in somehow balances all resources spent to to build your house, your computer and million other modern conveniences that you have no problem accepting. But that's all right, you use public transport so this make your life 'sustainable' and gives you right to bitch about how *others* abuse the planet.
"We are quite adaptable species, when environment changes we will adapt again."
Oh dear, is the old hand waving "it'll be alright in the end, we don't need to worry or change" argument really all you've got?
We will change when we need to change. I see it as better argument than your pathetic hypocrisy.
At what cost? Loss of wild habitats, sterile monocultures , pesticide poisoning of what little wildlife is left, fertilizer runoff causing o2 depletion in the rivers, soil erosion due to constant tilling, huge CO2 footprint due to fossil fuels required to produce agrichemicals and machinery to work the land and so on and on and on.
And how exactly does it contradict simple fact that food availability does not go down?
The methods of 300 years ago had survived for millenia. The way we've abused the planet in the last century we'll do well to be able to maintain this production for the next 100 years, never mind 1000.
Oh yes, lament about 'good old days' and abuse of planet while using your computer, living in nice apartment, driving a car and enjoying modern medicine. We are quite adaptable species, when environment changes we will adapt again.
If you donate your sperm to woman to have a child you should better be sure that she can support the child by herself, if not you should not have provided it in the first place.
And how do you go about that? If woman has means to support child by herself today it does not mean it will not change in 5 years. Remember, we are talking about USA, where illness can financially ruin you no matter if you have insurance or not.
