Maria Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 [quote name='Socrates' date='Mar 15 2006, 07:07 PM']That should be a warning against Catholics "going funny"! [right][snapback]912823[/snapback][/right] [/quote] Of course, But it also means that out-breeding won't necessarily solve problems. That was my point. Once you get an inward-looking group bent on out-breeding another group, things are likely to go funny. Whether it's liberalism that it turns into, or whatever... Basically, I don't think we should encourage people to have children for the sake of out-breeding the liberals. If it just comes as a side effect, I don't think it's as likely that things will go funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The devout orthodox Catholic families having lots of children are not doing so as part of some concentrated eugenic effort to "breed-out" liberalism. They simply believe large families are a gift from God, and do not contracept, etc. What's going on demographically is simply the natural results of different, freely chosen, lifestyles. It is not the result of some sinister Right-wing Catholic plot for world-domination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's once you get the 'let's outbreed them' mentality that things can go weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cow of Shame Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 [quote name='Iacobus' date='Mar 15 2006, 01:10 PM']Strange that FP doesn't have anything (Ever) by a Phillip Longman or about birthrates or anything close to that one their cover right now.

Odd that they'd be quoting a piece that he did two years ago.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
