Are there any more seats left on top?
What we want is extremes! That's what the activist groups and ratings-hungry media need... and thrive on.
Just like with climate change. I was at an event recently designed to raise 'awareness' of the issue, and foolishly accepted a group invitation to share my views, which are, roughly, that I think the climate is behaving in a negative way, and it's quite possible that the actions of man may not be helping, so I'll do all I can in mitigation but would need more convincing on some more drastic advocacies that could consume resources in an equally damaging way.
Of course, I please none present and was universally castigated for being a sceptic, denier, hairshirt and treehugger in equal measure.
For this reason, I consider any venturing near issues of population as very brave indeed. Especially if you mention Gaza in the same breath.

I believe in freedom of speech. But I also don't like bullies on blogs, even verbal ones, as they can drive away those with something valid to say... or offer.
Subjective is fine, but well argued and substantiated is even better. Calm and polite tops. Anything that crosses my personal line will not go up. There may be reasons given, but not guaranteed.
I'm not too keen on 'Anon' as a handle (and the content usually explains why), so if that's what you opt for it may not make it. Sorry.
