I have a vision of red shirts in the bedroom, urging citizens to do their duty. Failure to do so will result in a hearing with one of Tarits well trained community justice professionals. Or, alternatively, they may burn your house down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those over 80 are greater at 13% than the elderly? If the figures are wrong the whole article is poorly reseached. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belg Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 what? they want more people ? come on ... as if we are not with enough people enough in this world... i know what could work : child allocation as in western countries... some certain families start to breed 5-10 children and they pay off their house loan, car, hollidays with it , not that they care of the welfare of the children, they leave them on the street where most likely end up in crime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucjoker Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 the government is planning to increase child birth rate from an average 1.5 persons to 2.1 persons per family to build a balanced population, he said. I have a vision of red shirts in the bedroom, urging citizens to do their duty. Failure to do so will result in a hearing with one of Tarits well trained community justice professionals. Or, alternatively, they may burn your house down. if birthrate is under 2.......this population will disappear in a few genarations! 2 couples (4 people )with each 1 baby ,results after 1 generation in 1 couple .So in 1generation(18years) half of the population is gone.Shocking isn't it ? 2 couples with each 4 children ,will result after 1 generation in 12 people ,so from 2 to 12. So islam population multiplies 6 time in 1 generation ,this is verry fast, Today 2milj islam immigrants on total population of 9 milj in Belgium(fact). In 2045:from 6 milj authochtone belgiums to 1.5 milj and from 2 milj islam immigrants to 8 milj !!!!!!! Wonder who will run europe in 36 years ? That's why i chose to live here with my children ,europe is finished thats a fact . btw i'm not a racist . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see how any one could call you a racist over a honest set of facts about a religious group. I have seen them on BBC declaring they were going to take over the world. They might have a bit of a problem in North America although they resumed their killing of innocent people.ore to come but they will never get the foot hold they have in Europe.

CPT Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 "According to the 2011 survey, Thailand’s nine million elderly peoplerepresented 12 per cent of the total population while those aged above80 increased from 10 per cent in 2000 to 13 per cent in 2010." Always fun to read Thai media reports featuring numbers. Very surprised by the low fertility rate, the CIA World Fact Book puts it at just 1.66 children born / woman, about half what I would have guessed. For the sake of comparison the fertility rate in the Philipines is 3.10, Laos 2.98, USA 2.06, UK 1.90, France 2.08, Japan 1.39, China 1.55.

RubbaJohnny Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Agree with CPT Obviously a jourrno without basic math has cut and paste some hand out. No doubt you are surprised by birth rates if you only attact and encounter esp fertile citizens Are you using Axe by any chance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also 9 million elderly being 12 of total population means total population of 75 million people. I thought Thailand had 60 million people, but seems they just had a 25 % increase in population.
