The scholarly rigour manifest in this statement is awe-inspiring. You must have a BSc. in Chemical Engineering.

Why do you consistently fail to understand Islam? Their religion is their poltics, it is their way of life, their culture is defined by it.

I would rather have a society of greedy selfish bastards that just want to expand economic growth, than one run by ivory tower social engineers and their vast minions of Oprah drones.

But in any case, as I pointed out earlier somewhere in this useless thread that accompanies a useless article, entire vocations have arisen from the unavoidable necessity of fact checking and correcting the unlettered Mark Steyn. If only there were wingnut welfare agencies like Regnery to give these people book deals, eh?

You are funny, as if newspapers had a lot of footnotes and a full bibliography at the end of each article.

Welcome back Mark. You’re probably responsible for more yellow stains on the sanctimonious left’s bedsheets than ‘W’.

Keep it up till they drown in their own pious incontinence.

“So why worry if the net result of his policy is fewer eco-progressives in his part of New Mexico but business as usual in the Somali…”

Your concern for the demographic decline of eco-progressives is touching, especially since the rest of your blog post tries to explain how stupid it is to be ecologically responsible.

Perhaps you’d like to explain in more detail if you’re a “doomer” or a “denialist”

I am only too aware of the population make-up but both countries have publised studies that clearly (with incentives) demonstrate that it is the native population and & not the immigrantmuslim population that have (as in Russia) dramatically increased the % of babies they are having. Just walking the streets of Paris or Berlin is evidence enough.

Mark Steyn’s warning hopefully had some impact of public policy.

“Earth would be better off if mankind was issued aphrodasiac/birth control pill’s and we then fornicate ourselves out of existence.

Tout le monde m’adore. M’a…dore.. Le vrai monde, je devrais préciser; pas les bizarres caricatures comme M. Steyn et ses admirateurs grossiers.

La vanité des disciples du correctivisme politique “holier-than-thou”… !

…meu, meu meu, meu, meu…

Qu’est-ce qui te fait penser que tu es particulièrement sympathique et “supportable” ?

La vanité des disciples du correctivisme politique “holier-than-thou”… !

Apropos of nothing, it’s always fun to remark that there is a far larger body of prose dedicated to correcting Steyn compared with his own oeuvre.

To get a fuller appreciation of the foppery, read Revnant Dream’s post with a plummy, aristocratic British accent (sort of like a modern-day Wooster).

« I recognise demographic shift, but I certainly do dispute his numbers. The ‘native’ birthrate is in fact increasing in some of the EU countries »

What do you mean by native ? Algerians born in France, Turks born in Germany, Moroccans born in Belgium ? They count as Frenh, Germans and Belgians in the statistics (and their influence is easy to spot : many of top ten names in Brussels are muslim, Brussels where a lot of immigrants live has a much higher birth rate than Walloonia, etc).

As far as increasing is concerned: 1,6 child/woman is a slight national increase when compared to 1,5 child/woman (in fact in Quebec it is called by all the media a baby-boom!), but it is really only a slower implosion and really does not change the long-term trend (a real native demographic collapse).

Ah, wait for the aftermath of the economic collapse, let see how many Westerner will decide in the years to come to increase their birthrate and create a new baby boom (err, let’s say 1,65 child per woman), rather than curtail the number of births in uncertain times.
