Japanese threatened with extinction, minister says
TOKYO, May 21 (Reuters) - Japanese will become extinct unless the nation's birthrate stops shrinking, Health Minister Chikara Sakaguchi said on Tuesday. Commenting on a slumping birthrate which means Japan's population of 127 million could start shrinking in 2007, he , told a news conference: "If we go on this way, the Japanese race will become extinct." Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi earlier told the cabinet to encourage people to have children by providing better welfare services and making it easier to work while raising children. Figures issued in April show the number of children under 15 in Japan has fallen for 21 straight years and now accounts for only 14.3 percent of the population, the lowest on record. According to a United Nations report in 2000, Japan is greying so quickly that it will need to import around 600,000 workers annually until 2050 to keep its working population stable. By then, [RED]if Japan follows the U.N.'s suggestion, nearly one-third of the population would be of foreign descent.[/RED] |

Yes, it is.
Get Pat Bucannan's book, [b]Death of the West[/b]. It'll scare the shit out of you. All based on UN demographic figures. |

Well with some estimates saying that whites will be a minority in America by as early as 2050, I'd say it's just a matter of time.

No- white people have less of a cultural taboo against choosing mates outside their skin color-assuming that this continues (which I would assume as choosing a mate on such a dumb characteristic is probably not a survival trait) and if this is also true of people of other races-which is mostly true in this country at least-I would guess that in about a millenium everyone will be somewhat asian looking.

Gee, I'm suprised Clinton hasn't used this as an excuse to justify all his exploits!!!!

1) so what? why (and to whom) will your great-great- grandkids' skin color matter?
2) the obvious solution is to impoverish ourselves by giving everything we have to third-worlders. the demographic shift will keep the darker folks' numbers down, and the new white trash will resume breeding like flies.[whacko] |

So, the future of the white man is to become Japanese?
At least we'll all do well in school, then! "In test after test, both nationally and internationally, Asian students show superior performance in mathematics compared with their non-Asian counterparts." [url]http://www.nctm.org/dialogues/2001-11/20011112.htm[/url] |

That's not the future of the white man; that's the future of the Japanese man. [;)]
Anyway, technology might make questions of "race" moot. In another fifty years, parents (or government planners [(:)]) will probably have the ability to create "designer babies" through genetic engineering. So things like hair type and skin color will come to be determined more by what's fashionable than by what the previous generation looked like. |
|
I think the Japanese will survive. They don't care if they are called 'racist' and will implement policies to reverse the demographic trends (and not give in to mass immigration).
We on the other hand have substantial political taboos as well as ethnic interest groups that would decry such a public policy shift. We're f*****. [:)] |

View Quote Already a minority in California, at least some parts. San Diego, for example, either eliminated or proposed to eliminate the "minority" statements from all city contracts, documents, etc. because there was no majority. |

Shooter 69 - I think you have it right!
Overpopulation is at the root of many of the world's ills. Population decrease is a good thing. Why import more problems? I see no reason we can't absorb a reduction in workers in light of the continuing unemployment. There is sure as hell no reason we need to allow immigration soley (sp) to provide "bodies". Remember we are talking about the UN pigs who want open borders everywhere and domination by any race that is not currently successful such as European or Japanese. It is not really a particular race that I object to, but rather failed cultures such as Africa and most of the Mideast etc. I happen to think our CULTURE has resulted in great accomplishments and that any race can achieve the same thing. |

Well, as long as my grandchildren's children are healthy, moral, strong, and [b]FREE[/b]... I really don't care what color they are.

Quoted: Overpopulation is at the root of many of the world's ills. Population decrease is a good thing. View Quote Hardly! The earth's resources are not a zero sum game. People are creators as well as consumers. If anything, the world needs more people so we can enjoy a higher standard of living. If you doubt that, look at how the explosion of population in the 20th century coincided with an explosion in wealth worldwide. Oppressive government and economic systems that don't reward (or punish) people for their hard work and creativity (or lack thereof) are at the root of many of the world's economic ills. Overpopulation is only a problem when people are unable to work and get ahead. It's basically an imaginary problem created by the liberals to get us to accept socialism. |

Quoted: At least we'll all do well in school, then! "In test after test, both nationally and internationally, Asian students show superior performance in mathematics compared with their non-Asian counterparts." View Quote No,not really. In most asian schools students are reqiured to go to school about 12 hours a day 6 days a week. If we had our schools make the children attened school we would probably supersede their test scores. Also in asian culture a good student = a good child and a good child = good parents. I have witnessed many many many asian parents that do NOT allow their children to have a social life outside school just so they can study all the time. just my observation[beer] |

Results here show that Asian students in CA do as well as White students, probably better in some areas and worse in others, but certainly holding their own. I don't have time to compare all the numbers.

Quoted: Hmmm .... has anyone heard of the phrase 'Hybrid Vigor'. View Quote Not really applicable to humans. For highly inbred populations such as dachshunds and dalmatians and English sheepdogs, sure -- but aside from a few "royal lineages" and Arkansas, humans don't practice deliberate inbreeding. In fact, miscegenation can make things harder on human offspring, [i]especially[/i] if they require a transplant of some sort. Every few months here in Seattle, the news media announces another "bone marrow testing drive" for another multiracial child with leukemia, who can't take a donation from either parent because neither parent has both sets of immune factors that have to be matched. |

It is because of you people that the chilean sea bass is on the verge of extinction.

View Quote Yeah, but in the end "whiteness" is just as much a state of mind as a skin color, so perhaps all is not lost. |

And when that time comes, will the new majority then try to enslave the new minority? Probably. The chains are already being forged. |

I don't mind so much as long as we ratain the core "American Values" and se stop letting the stupid ones breed...Besides, it's all "pink" where it counts....

It's about the facial expression makes when he does a certian thing that will make him go blind. As mothers always say, make a facial expression long enough and your face gets permantly stuck in that position.[:D]
