The Overpopulation Control Act is in need of your support. Take action now to preserve our planet and way of life.

Our cities are crowded, plagued with unbearably slow traffic and bingo halls. A widening percentage of citizens are becoming gradually more dangerous, and we are shouldered with the burden mentally and fiscally.

Entire nations are stricken with starvation. Children of all colors and creeds are hungry and desperate, with no one able to provide for them. This MUST be stopped.

You have the power to change this. Endorse The Overpopulation Control Act and cement your name into the annals of history. Force positive change today.

Here's the proposal text:The Overpopulation Control Act
A resolution to reduce income inequality and increase basic welfare.


Category: Social Justice
Strength: Significant
Proposed by: Room One Oh One

Description: Overpopulation is becoming a problem across the world. To counter this crisis, some drastic steps need to be taken to be able to insure that future generations will be capable of still being able to have room to grow up, and so that present generations will not be able to squander the full of our available natural resources.

The solution to this problem that needs to be implemented would have to involve insuring that people do not continue to populate this world after they have reached their seventy-second (72nd) birthday. At this point, controls will need to be put in place across the whole of the United Nations to make sure that overpopulation does not plague our world.

To this end, I propose the following:

-> All citizens must be registered by their eighteenth (18th) birthday, so that accurate records may be maintained of their age, identity, and location.

-> Upon reaching their seventieth (70th) birthday, all citizens will be informed of the events upcoming, so that they can be given time to put their affairs in order.

-> Upon reaching their seventy-second (72nd) birthday, all citizens will be euthanized at the local processing plant, at the government's expense.

-> In the interests of avoiding waste, the remains of the citizens processed via this resolution will be converted into a nutritious substance that can be distributed at assorted homeless shelters worldwide.

-> No citizen who has reached his seventieth (70th) birthday by the time of passing of this resolution will be required to register for this program, but still may be processed by this program on a voluntary basis only.

-> Upon reaching their seventy-second (72nd) birthday, all citizens will be euthanized at the local processing plant, at the government's expense.When it's forced upon them, euthinasia is not the correct term. Culling would be more accurate and to a lesser degree, slaugter or mass murder would also be.
Aside from the moral issues, the orginisation required would be immense and not something that every nation could afford.
The possibility of a black market in life is terrible. There would be mass emmigration out of the UN.

Over 72s aren't the biggest problem with over population, true that they drain the health services somewhat, but they don't feul drug industries or prositution like the younger generations.

Urban regeneration and population redistribution are the solutions, not killing people.

A problem? NS has over 30 trillion people. I think we're well past having a problem by this point.

To be blunt, I see no problem. Natural resources have shown no sign of even slowing down, so it's likely the NS Earth is more abundant than thought.

Great. You're going to be killing a lot of people off while they are in their childhood.

Keep in mind the issue of species. Not every member of the UN is the same species, and quite a few of those live extremely extended lives.

To this end, I propose the following:

-> All citizens must be registered by their eighteenth (18th) birthday, so that accurate records may be maintained of their age, identity, and location.

Once again, species issue. The shorter-lived ones sometimes have two or three generations in a measly 18 years.

-> Upon reaching their seventieth (70th) birthday, all citizens will be informed of the events upcoming, so that they can be given time to put their affairs in order.

-> Upon reaching their seventy-second (72nd) birthday, all citizens will be euthanized at the local processing plant, at the government's expense.

Okay, in addition to the earlier problem, you're making governments pay for this. Great. One more case of an unnecessary expense.

-> In the interests of avoiding waste, the remains of the citizens processed via this resolution will be converted into a nutritious substance that can be distributed at assorted homeless shelters worldwide.

Soylent Green was a nice movie, but there are multiple problems with that idea, all of them stemming from the instability inherent in human DNA and the issue of diseases resulting from this.

-> No citizen who has reached his seventieth (70th) birthday by the time of passing of this resolution will be required to register for this program, but still may be processed by this program on a voluntary basis only.

Once again, look at the species issue.

I totally agree with you

Allemande's official state policy prohibits us from threatening two nations in the same week. Consider yourselves lucky.... ;)

(See what switching to decaf can do!)

In addition to agreeing with the representative from DLE that there is not really a problem (OOC: unless you want to RP it that way in your nation), there are millions of Texan Hotrodders that will be happy to help increase population growth through...natural measures.

Sometimes all three, depending on how much free Viagra is available from the sponsors. :D

You're welcome at raceday anytime, Speaker Varia.

On a side note, Aberdeen will not support any proposal that requires the mandatory execution of any citizen within our member nations.

The Eternal Kawaii is a firm believer in population control, provided the right populations are being controlled. Ours, fortunately is not one of them.

To kill off people after the age of 72, my god you are ****ing mad! This proposal gose against what is moraly right!

I take it the 'e' is silent...

The People's Republic of Coquetvia finds this proposal abhorrid.

The notion of murdering many of this nations oldest, wisest and most respected citizens makes the citizens of the People's Republic of Coquetvia deeply depressed.

A lesser nation would ask the representative of Americorporation for some funding to cover the extensive amount of Prozac we have had to have imported into the country as a result of this proposal, but we will not.

The People's Republic of Coquetvia will, however, never vote for this proposal.

Is this some kind of sick joke? The right to live is the most basic human right. If you take that away from even a portion of the population it would be a crime against humanity.

To date I have not seen any nation with population problems who did not create the situation through mismanagement. Can anyone honestly say we have a resource shortage?

Perhaps we should figure out which nations support this, then destroy them and use the natural resources they were taking up. This would kill two birds with one stone.
