A fridge for a baby?

I'd keep the fridge.



Just to clarify, is the fridge for keeping the baby in? Because that seems like it would be a lot easier than raising the little sprog.

How is a lower population a bad thing? Explain to me.



Besides the fact that it could trigger the total societal collapse of a nuclear-armed former superpower?

The population in Russia has fallen for a number of reasons, politics being one of them. Friends of ours are from Russia...and she pretty much CANNOT go home to visit her parents, because they won't let her leave the country to come back to Canada.

Christ, she had a hell of a time trying to get Russian children's literature out of the country for her girls...forget trying to get anything written in Russian by authors such as Tolstoy confused

If you can't talk about a solution to the problem, then please refrain from posting an opinion of an article in which you chastize the subjects of the said article without a sound or reasonable opinion by which you can promote a solution to the problem.
I think this is genius, at least it is a solution and they are using government money to reward, rather than to kill anyone (not that they don't.)



Aren't the solutions obvious? Address the problems of AIDS, suicide and alcoholism, rather than encourge more babies to be born into those situations.

Here and there we see exciting instances where we have the unique chance of lowering populations without horrific epidemics, genocide, or warfare. And they inevitablely fuck it up.



I would say that AIDS, alcoholism and suicide are, well, pretty horrific.

Anyone curious about why the Russian population is shrinking?


I was just told by someone who lives there that most of the girls she knows want careers and are taking birth control instead of falling into the same situation her mother (and many other women her age) did where she was pregnant at 14.

I've learned that many industry positions which were only available to men are now open to women such as energy and construction.

One of the girls is studying to become an engineer in the gas and oil industry and the other is studying construction management.

Ok putting overpopulation aside, how awesome is to have a "take the day off and fuck day"? That is a holiday I can get behind, or over or under or whatever position you prefer. I would vote for this idiot over any of the idiots that represent me.

More Sex= More people.

It’s a sensible enough encouragement which will hopefully increase the Russian population, which in the Russian government’s eyes is a good thing.

It’s also kind of wrong to say or suggest that the Russian government and Russian business aren’t doing anything to fight aids or suicide. TPAA, their also implementing more conventional governmental methods to hopefully increase the population such as increasing the child support funds that new parents get, just like the British system.

It is a funny article but I don’t see why some folks are almost getting up in arms about Russians having more sex :/
