Norwegians should not have more than 2 children? He is mad, most of Europe is confronted with population decline, we have the opposite of the overpopulation problem. True, Norway isn't , but that doesn't mean it would even warrant a thought on those insane restrictions (for any euro state)

The author appears to overlook a telling fact: Norwegians, and Europeans in general, already limit themselves to an average of two or less children. The dramatic result? The cultural and democratic traditions of Europe, which have since the Renaissance furthered the advancement of science, medicine and civilization itself, are disappearing. Their impending replacement here in Europe? Ideologies that do not understand, much less champion, democratic or Enlightenment ideals. Overpopulation IS problematical in some parts of the world, and an enlightened, sensitive and optional campaign to lower birth rates certainly has its place. But it is beyond dispute -- though often overlooked -- that the earth's resources can in fact readily support the entire global population. The far greater concern which we should be addressing is monopoly capitalism. For it is the misallocation of resources on a grand and tragic scale that this monopoly fosters. And this is a failure not of religions but of governments, governments which too often advance this grotesque distortion of capitalism rather than work to challenge and reform it.

The population explosion is among dependent third-world nations. Drastic measures need to be taken to ensure that these people practice birthcontrol, and drop the stupid habit of refusing to face that fact, in case of being called "racist". In Europe, people used to have armies of children, 50% of whom died before the age of five. But because there was nobody to provide food aid, and sympathy, people began to limit their families, rather than suffer the consequences. We now have the ridiculous situation whereby healthy, caring, educated western parents limit their families and delay having children, in part because a proportion of their income goes toward supporting people who are prepared to breed like rabbits, then hold their hand out to the west for donations. The funds which are spent on enabling exhausted women to produce huge families to be dragged up in ignorance and poverty should be spent on inducements and incentives to Europeans to have more children; offer those in the Third World condoms or sterilisation. Result; afluent countries with a younger demographic, of cared-for, wanted children, and poorer countries with fewer, fitter children, and parents who can actually get their lives together rather than either being terrorised by tin-pot dictators, or dependent on the west.

See the below...the number of children worldwide is stabilizing quickly: http://esa.un.org/unpd/wpp/unpp/p2k0data.asp select "Detailed Indicators" on the left and then scroll down and select "Population aged 0-14" from the "Select Variables" column. select "World" from the "Select Country/Region" column. Note the difference between 1950 and 2010 as a percentage of World population. I have no idea how to rate the projections made beyond 2010. A further fun site is www.gapminder.org (I have no idea if they have an agenda, their visual representations of data sets are really nifty/intuitive)

Anyone who says ethnic Europeans should have no more than two children is not insane nor is he an idiot. As a professor, this man is smart enough to know what he's saying here. It can be interpreted no other way than that Kryvi wants ethnic Norwegians to die out with this two child idea, in other words, his intent is evil and it is genocide against Norwegians! Assuming the couples who can have children limit themselves to two each, what about those who have none, are infertile, gay or simply do not find a partner? Those who can have children need to make up for those who can't in European countries. If you want to stop overpopulation locally, END IMMIGRATION NOW! If you want to eliminate overpopulation in the third world, STOP FEEDING THEM! They refuse to use birth control there, they are mostly ineducable, and to posit that they will "follow Norway's example" and stop breeding like rabbits is an insult to every listener's intelligence. They will instead see such a move as an opportunity to replace ethnic Europeans in European nations and come to Europe to do so. If people like Kryvi really are this naive about the world, they have no business commenting upon it, and journalists have no business printing his drivel for the world to see. When they do, I seriously suspect that they too have an agenda against ethnic Europeans.
