Teach your children well, encourage them to have multiple children and teach them well.

THE most popular baby names this year have been revealed with Muhammad making the top ten in a coveted list for the first time in the US.
According to BabyCenter's list of 100 most popular baby names for girls and boys in America, Sophia is still at the top for girls while Liam is the No.1 boy's name.
Although the nation's favorite monikers have more or less remained the same since 2018, there has been a rise in Arabic names in 2019.
This year, Muhammad and Aaliyah have replaced Mason and Layla placing tenth on the coveted list.
In 2018 and 2017, Muhammad came in at No.14 on BabyCenter's list with a 29 percent jump in popularity this year.
BabyCenter combines names that sound the same but vary in spelling to get a more accurate measure of its popularity (e.g. Sophia and Sofia).
The parenting and pregnancy website compiled the names of babies born to around 600,000 registered U.S. users in 2019.
The Social Security Administration also makes a list, which pulls the names of all the babies born in the U.S.
The independent agency treats each spelling as a different name which differs from BabyCenter's analysis.
Muhammad went from No. 620 in 2000 to No. 345 in 2018, according to Social Security Administration's data.
If they combined different spellings (e.g. Mohammad, Mohammed and Muhammad) in its count, the name would rank higher still.
The Independent estimates that Muhammad is the most popular name globally, "given to an estimated 150 million men and boys."

"America alone”

We lose, just like western Europe has lost, by demographics alone.
Sheer birthrate alone creates a majority in 20 years.

Folks today under the age of 50 are set to live in Hell during their lifetime. The next 20 years are going to be "interesting". I should hopefully be dead before it goes completely to Hell. And on That cheerful note, I bid you all Good Evening......

You and me, brother. Sure glad I have lived when I did. I hope we get to watch the fun from a good vantage point!

Honestly the fact that my family tend to die young no longer bothers me. Europe is lost for the most part and we are galloping after them like idjits.

I read it when it came out. Sobering, and inarguable. You can see it happening.

Watch?
Heck, no. Heaven has the calmest lake where the fish always bite and a cooler that never runs out of beer.
I'm gonna be much too busy to watch a darn thing on this hunk of rock...
 
I think when we die and go to heaven we are allowed to watch what happens here on earth but we can't say anything or warn anyone about anything, we just watch everything unfold, good, bad or indifferent.

When we die if we go to hell we just begin another life here on earth and have to participate whether we like it or not.
 
I told my grandson the other day during an 'I'm gonna straighten your attitude out talk' that he has a limited time to learn everything that I can teach him. Ain't gonna get it from no where else except his grandma and me. If he misses this chance there's no one else in his family that looks past tomorrow. That's why I encouraged him into at least trying the hunter education team at school. I said give it a try and if you don't like it after the first year its his call to not do it anymore. At least he will making friends with team mates who kinda have the same frame of mind, and their parents. I hate that I probably won't be around to see him through the shit storm that will come during his life but that's just the way it is. I told him after I go to the big range in the sky that he would always feel me behind him kicking his ass when he screws up.
 
It's been known for a while now that whites are not reproducing at even population maintenance levels.

Sounds as reasonable as any other thoughts I've heard on this. Really......

I look at it a little differently. I hope I have a chance to help set things right. Take a few of the bastards with me. If it's going to happen get on with it.

Same thoughts I have. I don't understand how you can be happy you won't have to deal with it while your kids and grandkids get crapped on.
 
Maybe if more people believed in reincarnation, we would be more motivated to resolve problems.
