Have YOU put any robots on Mars lately?

And what proof do you have that they did besides a few videos and their assurances?

I read about this man several years ago and his claims to have accessed some incredible information about exotic anti gravity, free energy and aliens. What really didn't make a whole lot of sense to me, is if he had in fact done this, and accessed information on fantastic technology that is being withheld that could help us solve our energy crises for instance, he did not keep any record of his finding or any proof at all. That it seems would be the first logical thing a person would do, especially regarding something of such importance to humanity that people really ought to know about. Here we are driving our cars burning up oil that will be gone in a few decades, destroying the environment, and meanwhile we have children starving and living in poverty all over the planet, withholding a technology that could improve quality of life drastically and end poverty would truly be a crime against humanity.

I love how so many people want to jump on the help the starving children bandwagon. You know why people starve in Africa? It's cause they have like 30 children. Free energy will never be something that average people will be allowed access to. Think about the economics of it. Give the world free energy and we can continue to breed and overpopulate the earth.

Exactly. And since the only way to feed yourself is to run your own farm, you need quite a few farm hands to carry out all the necessary tasks. The only free labour (no money to hire anyone) is your own children. Add in the fact that there's no way in hell you're going to have savings for later life (and thus you need a progeny), that most of your kids will be miscarried, die in childbirth or early life, or get shot by/recruited into a gang or child army, and you realise that your only option is to have kids, and lots of them.

From what I understand, families in highly impoverished areas with high mortality rates do tend to have a lot of children, with the hope that some of them will actually survive, and maybe even prosper, but I would suggest that's more an effect of poverty rather than a cause of it. The reason that average American doesn't have tons of children isn't because we're smarter than the rest of the world, it's because all of our children have a reasonably good chance at survival, and a good chance at a comfortable life. Their chances at success are made better if we only have a few children, so we can afford to pay for their education, but in a region like Darfur, having just 2 children and hoping for the best probably means none of your children will make it to adulthood...

That accounts for some of the difference, but not all of it. It does not explain the fact that, in most First World countries, the birthrate is low enough that population in fact decreases, while in most poor countries it does instead increase, and it does that in the poorest African countries in particular.
