Interesting 7 min video on the changing demographics of the world, basically Western nations are not supporting their population growth and Muslim families are spreading, in 25 years many countires, such as the Netherlands, will be Islamic Republics.
Reminds me of a great line from the English King Longshanks in Braveheart:
"The problem with Scotland is that it's full of Scots."
His solution -- borrowed from the Catholic Kings from the Dark Ages -- was to create a law in which English nobles would bed with every newly wed Scottish bride. Unfortunately, though English blood was spread through Scotland, it did not lead to babies growing up with Enlish culture (go figure). The Chinese are doing it the right way. You would think that with their 1 child policy that Chinese culture would be in decline; however, this is not the case. They started out with such a large number of people and they have such a robust economic system that they can afford to do so for the time being. Meanwhile, Chinese immigration into Africa, South America, the South Pacific, Eastern Europe, and America is incredible. Once they get to other countries, the one child policy is obviously not in effect. I would bet that many familes leave China just for that reason. Immigration warfare, who would have thought?
