China has been trying to control its population by legislation for some time...and failed

They call the kids little emperors.

No , the point is to control the population with legislations. Not leave them to die of illness. It brakes the parents hearts u know. Think about watching your kid die becaue you don't have 10 quid

How do we impose legislation on independent third-world countries? We'd first have to rule over them.

Even if we could spend enough to significantly reduce infant mortality levels, won't the result be a disastrous acceleration of the population explosion?

What?

what would you do?

Do about what? About the fact that 27000 children die every day or about the fact that it's not news or about the fact that nobody cares?

1. Nothing, so long as it's not me or my family, why should I care?
2. Nothing, the news is all selected by crazed right-wing nutters or crazed left-wing nutters. You cannot possibly know about everything that happens in the world, so why bother if it doesn't affect you?
3. Nothing. Nobody gives a ****.

We're still in an age of empires anyway.

Which version? IV was the best one.......

[Troll]

another day.... another 27000

[oraclesmith]

It's because nobody gives a ****, that's why.

It's because it's not newsworthy. ie. it doesn't relate to the people who pay for newspapers or other media.

[Dundeegeorge]

I know, I know, oh, oh, me, me

Why is this tragedy not in the headlines?

The papers were going to put in something about the 27,000. But it got bumped by a story about Mrs McCann painting a fingernail.

Toenail, I think. Fingernail would have made page 2.

Well what would you have the West do about it? it sounds like you are complaining about the Wests inaction ...
