$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'W')ASHINGTON (Reuters) - The White House is not amused by The Onion, a newspaper that often spoofs the Bush administration, and has asked it to stop using the presidential seal on its Web site.

[uNkNowN ElEmEnt]

I just hope that Bush gets to hear some of their stuff. He is far too insulated from his country and people. but crying? that's waht you would expect from an untreated alcoholic.

Can you post a link to this article? I can't find it. The snippet you posted sure doesn't say anything like what you are gloating about. It says the White House doesn't like the onion and has asked them to quit using the Presidential Seal. The little bit in between is a description of the Onion.

If it said:
The White House doesn't like the onion, a commie rag which espouses violent revolution, and has asked them to quit using the Presidential Seal.

It would mean the same thing. They want them to quit using the seal. I'm begining to get a better understanding of liberals, they can't read or if they can read they fail to comprehend.

On a different note I have some nice 1/2 inch wide note pads for sale.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Onyered', '

Might have been posted here last year, in which case here it is again.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('The Onion', 'A')s we move into the 21st century, it is our responsibility to think of the future of the earth—not for ourselves, but for those who will inherit what my husband and I leave behind when we're gone. If we do not join together and do what's best for this, our only planet, there may not be an environment left in which my five children, and their 25 children's 125 children, can grow up and raise large upper-middle-class families of their own.

Nothing less than the preservation of my descendents' lifestyle itself is at stake.

. . .

My children are the future. And at the end of the day, isn't it family—my family—that truly matters?

The average upper/middle class white American (the bulk of the US population) typically has less than 2 children in their lifetime. White liberals have even less, which yes may be a God send, but bottom line is 2.1 children is necessary for each couple to grow a population, the current level is below replacement level for the population which means that portion of the population will shrink. The only way to make up for the population loss is through immigration. So basically these people are just being replaced by immigrants. It sounds like the article was written by someone who doesn't have a clue about current demographic trends.

[NTBKtrader]

So basically if you want to shrink the US population the only way to do it is to stop immigration and immigrants from being so fertile since Americans, mainly whites, aren't having enough children to replace themselves. Of course the rest of the (mostly undeveloped) world's total population is still booming. It has nothing to do with middle/upper class Americans having children but with immigration, at least for the US.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'I') don't want my 625-odd great-grandchildren to have to wait 20 or 30 precious seconds for their toilets to flush. I don't want their 3,125 children to live in a hellish society where they cannot own their own snowmobiles. And I shudder to think that my 15,625 great-great-great-grandchildren may not be able to have TVs in every room that they can leave on all day and all night.

Although the article was written from the US perspective, demographic trends in the US alone are irrelevant. This applies to the world, not the US.

Allow me to point out what apparently isn't obvious or well known: The Onion is satirical.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'T')he Onion is an award-winning, US-based, parody newspaper published weekly in print and daily online.

There's a thriving sub-culture of anti-consumerism in New Zealand which incidentally is increasingly embracing the old indigenous ways.

The trouble with you American fellows is that you've never really taken the American continent to heart, including the old ways that the land has spontaneously thrown up.

If you can see your way to wean yourselves off Mother Europe, you may well find the post peak scenario quite a refreshingly adaptable challenge.
