    Homegrove Imagine caring about the future of other people besides your own family you stupid fucking bastard.

    If you think that having kids is a bad thing, then why would you support and care for the kids other people are having?

    Because otherwise it’s like Amps saying that he doesn’t think it’s morally right that he should drive a gas-guzzling 4×4, yet he encourages other people to do so, applauds them when they do, and even buys them a nice air freshener and some new tires as a gift so they have a more pleasant journey.

          There is something that Hugo has said which sort of makes sense (I think). Amps has chosen not to have kids as a rationale for what he is doing to protect the planet. Yet based on his views of me flying and he doesn’t, must also suggest that anyone who has kids (ie opposite of what he is doing) aren’t making the right choices for our planet? Am I on the right path here?

          But if we all do the same as Amps, as he clearly thinks he lives his life in a positive way to our planet / society, then we will be extinct within 100 odd years anyway

            You’re forgetting Amps is Ginger Rich

            Fostering flambé haired savants with corned beef skin on a continuously warming planet would be cruel at best.

            Amps is a good bloke, annd an humanist ant heart, all too keen that SPF technology would be outstripped by the skincare needs of his offspring.

                  Factor ‘duffle coat’, every time.

                    Fair play to Amps, he’s walking the talk as they say.

                    RichM you don’t need 3 or 4 kids - that’s where the population problem is.

                          Yes, that is what his “logic” indicates.

                          If having no kids is a commendable, morally righteous act which helps save the planet, then it would imply that having kids is an objectionable, morally improper act which helps destroy the planet.

                                The average birth-rates in the west are already notably below replacement rate and falling…

                                Replacement rate in developed countries is 2.1 kids per woman - in the UK the fertility rate is currently just 1.49 kids per woman, in the EU it’s 1.46 kids per woman, in the US it’s 1.66. While over in Japan it’s 1.26, and China is way down at 1.18.

                                    hugopal I’m not talking about the west, I’m talking about the issue with the global population.

                                    I’m aware of birth rates in the west - I read newspapers too.

                                        We need more Fred Wests to battle climate change

                                          I think it calls for Amps to do the morally righteous thing and get a boat to Benin, Uganda, Congo, Pakistan and Iraq etc. and get them to slow down…

                                                    No it doesn’t imply that at all. Thats what your contrarian, idiotic reasoning implies it is.

                                                            I think Fred & Fritzel would make a dynamic climate duo.

                                                            Perfect combination of domestic interior and exterior upcycling to save the planet.

Hursty asked him about his personal contribution, you’re the one who implied the nonsense and what you wrote is some of the dumbest shit I’ve read on here in a while, and that’s really saying something.
