If you don't have anything ORIGINAL to say, don't post! It's so annoying scrolling through all of these "me too" posts.
ANYWAY, I don't think the population is too big yet, but if it reaches that point, families should be encouraged to have only two kids, though it shouldn't be a law. |

I dont have a problem with families that have more than 2 children unless they dont lounge on the state and have more kids to get more money.
I myself have 4 kids living at home, 2 from my partner pervious relationship, one from mine and we also have a baby together. I was raise also in with 4 kids. |

Markymark, you said.
"The main reason for our increasing population is immigration." Can I ask where you got this information, as the last available government figures (2006) do not agree with you. Births: 690013 Immigration: 565000 Mean immigration taking into account people leaving the UK: 185000 |

I'm a third child, so I can't agree with that article!
Also, it's from the Daily Mail, which instantly sets me on guard. Frankly if people can't afford to have children or don't have the means to look after them, then they shouldn't have them. Just my opinion. Anyway, the elderly outnumber the young at the moment. |

Yes, it may be possible, but it's un-necessary. I'll say it again - the elderly are outnumbering the young at the moment. People are having less children (in the UK) than in years gone by. The population does not need controlling. |

That, along with the skepticism regarding climate change, led me to draw comparisons between your views and those of the Daily Mail, that is all. [Hey to Ruth btw, haven't seen you around in a while!] |

I am not sure how this is true when all we hear about at the moment is the ever ageing population that the UK has. So now we have too many old people and too many babies?

I do have skepticism about climate change, but only about its extent and consequences, I'm not saying there's no climate change at all. Edit: Here's more evidence. Net migration has been the primary cause of population increase for the last 10 years, and that's just the migration we know about. http://www.statistics.gov.uk/cci/nugget.asp?ID=950 |
