There
are currently more elderly people than children living in the EU, as
Europe's young population has decreased by 21 percent - or 23 million —
in 25 years, 10 percent of which in the last ten years alone...
Italy
has the least young people (14.2%) and one out of every five Italians
is more than 65 years old... However, the decrease in numbers has been
greatest in Spain, where the young population has diminished by 44% in
the 1990 to 2005 period...
The decrease has been most
significant in new member state Bulgaria, which has lost almost 8% of
its population (7.94%) in the last ten years...
On top of that,
the number of births across the EU has been decreasing and in some
member states, the birth rate is almost two times lower than in the US
(2.09 children per family in 2006)...

Are
Belgians, Greeks and Spaniards endangered species? Are Muslims, because
their nut-ball misogynistic religion and its strictures against birth
control, going to take over the world through overpopulation? What a
rosy path our multi-culti social systems are leading us down. We've
dumped all the old verities because we're so danged smart but somehow
the problems created by wandering away from the truths that made us
great seem bad enough to swallow us up and lead us into a new Dark Age.
A Dark Green Age where inquiry and scientific advancement are looked on
as threats to the environment. This society, where even the poorest
citizens live better than the middle class in other countries, is
derided as unfair and ecologically unsustainable. The freedom, respect
for property rights, equality before the law, and the moral code which
were responsible for our society's climb from nothingness to a height
never even dreamed of in previous times is being forgotten in a tidal
wave of consumerist noise and promises to solve all confusing problems
(including changing the weather!) by bureaucratic fiat. Meanwhile the
inexorable demographic erosion brings the tipping point closer. At what
point will the Socialist systems of Europe collapse? I think that day
is a lot closer than we imagine. If the libs get control of the US the
last 'Western' bastion of strength will recede, leaving the aged Euros
at the mercy of their overpopulated former colonies. But, like the
barbarians that overthrew the Roman Empire our current crop of savages
wont inherit the old society's prosperity and technical advancement but
will live in placid squalor in the ruins. Because the Third World is
far from being able to organize food production and distribution,
immunization, or energy production and distribution the result will be
a much-lower population. Six billion people is sustainable only with
modern Capitalism, Socialism, covering the planet, will reduce the
population by 90%, with the remaining survivors chained into feudal
peonage to the State. The novel 1984 raised to prophecy!
