The last 1,000 years of man; 2013-2200

I think a lot of the items you are discussing are going to have impact in the next century. Over 1000 years, the only impact would be massive imbalance of fertility rates.

It's sort of like discussing the state of Indigenous political power when the Europeans arrived, and their population was reduced by 90% in one century.

Country	TFR=	Less Fertile	More Fertile	Notes
China	1.55	9.0%	72.0%	(19% of world's pop.) One Child Policy since 1979
United Kingdom	1.90	38.7%	60.4%	Very High Human Development Index
United States	2.06	40.8%	54.8%	Near Replacement Level
Indonesia	2.20	49.0%	47.5%	Median Population of World ranked by Fertility
India	2.55	61.0%	21.8%	(17.2% of world's pop.) Largest source of babies from a country

A total of 38.7% of the world lives in countries less fertile than UK, and 21.8% lives in countries more fertile than India (with India 17.2% alone).

Fox and Friends or Rush is just brain washing you with their spin.

I don't watch Fox and Friends, but I read Rush's show
transcripts every day. Where is the brain washing?
Please give examples.

It's just entertainment with an agenda.
I can't help you if you can't listen and be critical.
It's a propaganda machine on full steam.
Sometimes it's about what's not talked about
more than what is.

So you have no examples, just opinions based
on what others have told you. Thats kinda what
I thought. I read the full transcripts of the show
every weekday and have been listening since
1990. The biggest critics are those that have no
idea what the show is about.

Meet the new bosses

RUSH: Ladies and gentlemen, I'll make another prediction to you. Actually, not a prediction, a warning. Much as last Wednesday I told you that the swing state polls that were coming up you should ignore, ignore the polls tomorrow after the debate tonight. The odds are that the polls are gonna be sampled in such a way that no matter how Romney does, they're gonna still gonna have polls that say "In the swing states, Obama carried the day." You're gonna see it. Probably some Republican pollsters who are warning people that the Democrats already have the deck stacked in terms of their samples and so forth. And I'm sure that that's true.

So this is just another warning. Don't let them succeed in getting you depressed. Romney could kick butt tonight, and the polls are probably already in the can that Obama won it. And part and parcel of this, too, is the expectations game the Democrats have played. The way it works is, "Oh, man, Obama doesn't have a chance, really. That's one weakness we all acknowledge that Obama's got. Romney, we've seen him debate, he's really good at this. We expect Romney to win the debate." So they set that up, and then the debate happens, and however it happens, the swing state polls tomorrow and the next day will show that Obama was thought to have won the debate, and, wow, did he really exceed expectations.

It's all a game, folks. It's all a game, and you and I are the pawns. They want us committing ourselves to the insane asylum. They want us getting depressed and in a funk trying to suppress our vote. That is their whole campaign. Voter suppression, try keep you so down in the dumps and depressed that you think it's hopeless and your vote doesn't count anyway. You're just one vote so why even show up.
