Have you heard about this very silly “procreate now or else” campaign that Britain is trying out? This is yet another one in the series of useless European measures aimed at getting people have more children.
World-wide practice has demonstrated that there is absolutely nothing anybody can do to boost procreation than to deprive women of their right to study, work, and have opportunities for development. Similarly, there is nothing one can do to limit procreation save give women the right to study, work, and develop. All other measures are a waste of time and money.
When women have a chance to do absolutely anything else whatsoever, they invariably choose not to have more than 2 children (which is what you need to boost population numbers.) So Britain’s campaign is doomed to be as useless as all similar campaigns. The campaign’s creators are total idiots who think that women don’t procreate like bunnies because nobody has reminded them to do so. This level of stupidity is very disturbing.

Well, I actually live in UK and I have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about. Are you sure about this?

The news in the US are filled with talk of this campaign. Supposedly, you are seeing billboards depicting pregnant 70-year-old women everywhere. I’m guessing you are not seeing them? 🙂 🙂 There is also supposed to be a huge backlash in the UK against this campaign.
This is the first time in a long while that I watch news on TV and immediately I hear some fake story. Unbelievable.

Nope, I haven’t seen any of this (just checked the link that the next commenter left) anywhere “live” and also not on any serious media (BBC, Sunday Times). To me it looks like it’s some tabloid thing that is being blown out of all proportions due to lack of serious news or something…

Since EVERYBODY knows that these campaigns never do anything to convince people to procreate, I have to ask: what is the real purpose of the campaign?

I hope that this will convince people to not procreate.

Trying to be re-elected with a political point.

– By alienating half of the population? I can’t imagine a single woman liking this.

The campaign is intended as a ‘dog-whistle’ to racists: hate brown people but don’t want to waste your vote on the BNP? Vote Conservative!
