Abortions by Sex Cause Vietnamese Boy Boom

- Vietnam is seeing a boom in male births as increasing numbers of parents opt for sex-specific abortions. In 2001, the sex ratio in Vietnam was close to the biological norm of 105 male births per 100 female births, but this reached 111 to 100 by 2007.... Read full article »

    Plenty of good can come from that. Less possibility of population increase :).

    Seems to me there's a reason God or if you prefer nature has females outnumbering males. I guess the population will decrease with a world war over possession and breeding rights with the few surviving females..............

    "Seems to me there's a reason God or if you prefer nature has females outnumbering males"
    Yes, there is a reason-- it occurs because species reproduce faster when such occurs (a male can impregnate many females, a female can only be successfully and healthily pregnant about once a year).

    This is great, if your goal is to ensure the continuance of the species.

    But if your goal is quality of life, it kinda sucks after a certain point.

    "I guess the population will decrease with a world war over possession and breeding rights with the few surviving females.............."
    There is no need for a war. Let the females pick :).

    They're females. They don't have a say. In the animal kingdom they do. Not so in human society when it breaks down. The strong will take what they want.

    It's the females that are not being picked. That's the whole point of that article. There won't be any in some areas of the world. The few that remain won't pick they'll be taken.

    You said world war. Now you're scaling it down to civil war. :).

    It's perfectly fine by me if the countries in question collapse. They are ruled by tyrants, and their collapse will eliminate those tyrants :).

    Ididn't scale nothing down.........

    Which means, by linguistic rules, that you admit that you did scale something down.

    "

    A tyrant of a lesser degree. We've been ruled by such for a long time. When a country comes along that has less of a tyrant then ours, I'll move there and apply the same reasoning :)

    I've harped on that before. Two negatives make a positive. So I will rephrase: I didn't scale anything down...............Happy?

    Problem there is other tyrants will rise to take their place. It's the blatant disregard of the constitution and none standing up for it that's causing the rise at least to this point a soft tyranny. It'll become more tyrannical as time goes on.............

    I forgot. What's the point of our argument anyway? I thought it had to do with no women being born over there (I'm sure I'll spread this way) and all those lovesick guys will say "Let's go someplace where there are women" It also had to do what tamed the "wild west". It wasn't the law. It was women. The guys had to straighten up and act right.................

    No, it doesn't give us the reason you think that to be the case.

    "Problem there is other tyrants will rise to take their place."
    True, but those ones will have less resources at their disposal and therefore be less of a threat :).

    This is Vietnam. They don't like to go interracial :).

    "No, it doesn't give us the reason you think that to be the case.": Yeah, I didn't think so.

    "True, but those ones will have less resources at their disposal and therefore be less of a threat "........ That's wishful thinking.

    "This is Vietnam. They don't like to go interracial :)"...........That maybe true. But when you country is dying be cause of a lack of procreation. That lack of.procreation is caused by a lack of women. You'll go interracial. At least raiding neighboring countries.

    I believe this is showing a problem with abortion. There are those that see no wrong or negative outcomes from abortions at any level. And will defend abortion on demand whenever and where ever for whatever reason........................

    Wishful thinking?
    The entire point of a military is to remove resources from enemies.

    "hat maybe true. But when you country is dying be cause of a lack of procreation. That lack of.procreation is caused by a lack of women. You'll go interracial. At least raiding neighboring countries. "
    Don't the neighboring countries have the same basic culture? Which means, probably the same problem :).

    well sure, lets think nothing of the majority of the worlds population that live in these kinds of circumstances
  • ragnar_... Chuck May 17, 2009 17:37:12

    The majority of that majority enabled it. And the minority has no chance at living a good life as it stands anyway, they have a better deal if they take a risk with societal collapse than if they sit around in slavery.

    Or, if you are lucky, they'll wage war with all that unspent testosterone and join forces with Russia and Iran, their allies, and march to Zion, killing as much of humanity as possible.

    Vietnam is an ally of Russia and Iran?

    When did this happen?


    Besides, it doesn't make any sense. They want women who look like them, because they are collectivists and therefore implicitly mild racists. That means, civil war only :).

    This whole thing seems fishy... Only wanting male babies? Somewhat barbaric, really... I'm really starting to get curious why they want so many men. And IF they are doing it in China, too... All the more curious.
