Hopefully the Chinese will rise up against their government now. This is the future of this country too because of the liberals in both parties and Al Gore trying to scare everyone with global warming. Don't fall for it. Besides the fact it has been proven wrong (the smarter libs are calling it climate change), it is evil. It's probably the same reason China had this policy from the beginning. Same lie, different place. It's amazing how stupid people become when they are evil.

Listen to government educators and social workers, and at the end you will be left with nothing. How sad for those people.

While one child cannot replace another, it is sad that the Chinese policy of one child is so firmly in place.

Population limitation doesn't always solve economic problems, especially in the long run, as in in Europe where there are fewer young people than older people. This has caused many problems there.

My heart breaks for these people.

My heart breaks for these families. There is nothing worse than losing a child. Especially your only child. May God bless them to be together again.

There is so many wars in the world because of someone like you. Trying to interupe other people's business while having so many holes in his own pants. I am sure you are not educated and didn't try to find out why the policy is there. The gas price is now over $3.65, when will you rise up and against your government? To borrow what you said, "It's amazing how stupid people become when they are evil."

It is very sad that the Chinese had to institute the "one child" policy, but can you imagine China with 400 million more people? We can only hope that world population starts to stabilize, and we aren't faced with similar dilemmas in this country. The first signs of over population are already being seen in this country with declining quality of life.

Only in America could we see this as evil. The Chinese have figured out that one billion and one do not eat as cheaply as one billion, and every resource is finite.
There are too many of us. Everywhere. If knowing this makes me an evil 'lib' so be it.

Government should never dictate how people live their lives...or how many children they should have. Any "liberal" who is happy for gay marriage should know that. Keep the government in the shadows where they belong.

However, the ingenius Chinese figured out too late that you can't have a billion men and no women...women are an important resource that they are running out of. Even crab fishermen don't fish female crab...they need them to propogate the species.

Human ingenuity will solve population problems. There is no need for additional government power in this area of our lives.
Don't fall for the propaganda. People in government that want this sort of power are not doing it for altruistic reasons.
If you're a secular progressive stop reading here...you don't believe in my hokey religious views.
What about 'go forth and multiply'?
What about Satan's disdain for free agency?
We oppose these policies because we know where they come from.

How truly sad for these families that have lost everything. My heart goes out to them, and I hope they can find a way to be comforted even in their time of grief.

I am ashamed of humanity at times like this, when in our great big world, there is not only enough, but more than enough to go around. Mankind limits his own growth to the boundaries he sets up and not by God standards. Why did China limit families to 1 child? Because they wanted to keep all the people inside China. That is what communism is about - control over the people by the elite. Even more tragic than the deaths from this quake is the corruption of communism now mingled with capitalism. The Chinese government chooses who will be rich and who won't, and there are a lot of very wealthy Chinese. The govt promotes the kind of regulation that resulted in schools collapsing. Combine this corruption with the human rights violations, i.e. they didn't filter donated blood for AIDs until recently and passed AIDs along without caring...the evidence of China's elite being evil is overwhelming. Now they are sending their poor quality products to the US and polluting the world more than any other nation on earth...to such an extent that it's infecting us right here in Utah. I say boycott China, the Olympics, their products, their money.

They need to change their policy to and heir and a spare. Maybe they can adopt.

When there are thousands of people's lives are still in danger, all the American and their media can say is about the one child policy? What is the western trying to do? To stop China being the power house of the world, which has been treated as the biggest enemy to America after the Soviet?

I had two girl friends from two big cities of China (over 10 million population each) and they are now in their 30's. They both have another sisters, so it makes their parents have 2 female children, even the one-child-policy was in placed when they were born. Never heard about it, right? One one boy for each family? Just use your brain and do some research, or talk to people before you made any comments.

Unfortunately, governments do want to dictate how we live our lives. This of course, is done so that they can protect us from whatever perceived evil they think is out there.
